style of pipe. because they can smoke it while
sneaking along trail or crawling through the
grass in the dark in an enemys country. and
the light cannot be seen. Some rude Indian
pipes are made of wood with the bark on. One
of this kind, from the Menomenee Indians OF
Wisconsin, appears to have been fashioned
from the trunk of a sapling, a small branch or
offshoot being pierced to form the stem. II
has cap or corner that fits on so when the
pipe is closed il looks like a solid piece of wood.
The pipes from the Indians of Alaska and the
northwest coast afford a most interesting study.
The bowls are fashioned usually of the black
stone or slate. capable Of a high polish, which
they loved to carve. Some of the bowls are a
foot long. or rather the figures with which they
are ornamented extend on either side of the
bowl proper SO as to make the whole a foot
long. The savage artist crowded them with
Hydrologic figures or tokens. A collection OF
these pipe heads from British Columbia show
skillful work in bone. walrus ivory and stone.
Some are fashioned like ships; others have rep
reservations of houses and men on horseback
or in various attitudes. They are often inlaid
and ornamented with colors.
The Eskimo pipes do not vary much in their
general design. The Ungava Eskimo have
small neatly-shaped pipes with slender bowls
and they ornament them with strings of beads.
Among the other Eskimo tribes there is one
prevailing type, though there is a difference in
the amount and character of the ornamental
ton. This is a pipe with stem curved some
thing like bow, and about foot long The
bowl or head is on the inner or concave side of
the bow. The stem is usually thick. and about
ii are twisted thongs or strings made of seal
skin. The bowl or head, made usually Of metal
has wide-lipped top and an extremely small
oritice, like an opium pipe. Attached to
the stem Is metal needle or pricker. The Es-
kimO doesn't smoke much at one time He
grinds his tobacco up fine and mixes it with the
ashes OF fungus. Sometimes he chops up
willow bark and adds it to the mixture. Whether

he does this to improve its flavor or to make
the tobacco go further is disputed point.
When he wants to smoke he plucks some
hairs from his seal skin coat and rams
it down into the bottom of the bowl. This is to
keep the finely-powdered tobacco from passing
into the stem. Then he fills the narrow bowl
with the tobacco mixture, using the pricker to
pack it in. He gets a light from his flint and,
after a few whiffs. exhausts the contents of the
bowl He has good deal Of work for what is
apparently a small amount of smoke, but trav-
elers say not even an Eskimo could stand more
than few whiffs of the vile compound he
smokes The Eskimo pipe with the little b owl
and prlcker Is found in Siberia; and Mr. Hough
said he believed it could be traced across Asia
to the Mongols. In the smallness of the bowl
1t resembles the pipes of the Japanese and
Chinese. Some from KOtZebue sound have
acknowledgement ivory stems. One is orna-
mented with series of pictures representing
hunting and fishing scenes. Another has a
bowl made of a thimble.
One pipe from the Congo is double-headed,
or has double bowl connecting with single
neck. Another pipe, made by an African, is

by legs of wire. is the form of a bird. This
bird Is used prlcker. The smoker can bend
1t down so that its head enters the bowl. and
can be used to pack the ashes or tobacco. When
he releases his hand the bird flies back the wire
legs serving as springs. The Africans nearly
all have pipes. Many specimens have been

clay as the natives of the interior of Africa are
ingenious potters. One huge bowl in the mu-
scum collection was deposited there by
Rev. Il. II. Gurley. 1t is black. and stands
nearly six inches high. Among some
of the Africans hemp or dacha is smoked
In connection with religious observances
This is a custom that may have been commu-
nicated to them by the Mahometans. They have
way. too. among some of the interior tribes
of making water-pipe by using a cows horn
as the reservoir. The pipe is thrust into this
in such way that when suction is brought to
bear the smoke passes through the water
Hemp is smoked in this way and the smoker
has only to take few whiffs when he falls
over, his senses paralyzed by the effects of the
narcotic. Pipes are sometimes made by the
Africans from ivory by boring the tusks. There
is in the museum collection a Zulu or Kaffir
pipe of wood. which is interesting because of
Its resemblance to early Dutch clay pipes

Dutch two centuries ago. Near it Is clay pipe

The only people who resist the temptation to
smoke are some of the natives of Ceylon and
certain of the hill tribes of India. 1t is part of
their religion to regard tobacco as an abom-
nation.

Brazilians make pipe heads of clay, which are
made black by smothering the kiln. so the

as typical is the one used by German peasants,

ners of the 18th and 18th centuries record has
been made in the language of the far-away peo-
pie. In Japan the name tdbdc is given to
tobacco. and In many lands almost unheard of
two centuries ago a word is found engrafted in
the native dialect. which in sound resembles
tobacco. But there were pipes long before
there was any tobacco, or at least long before
tobacco was known outside the limits of the
West Indies. Pipes dug up out of the mounds
in the Mississippi valley show that such imple-
ments were in use on this continent in the pre-
Columbian age. Metal and pottery pipes have
been found among Roman antiquities. CLAY
pipes dug up in England have been supposed
to date back to the days of the Roman con-
quest. but conscientious students think they
were dudeens dropped or mislaid by the Eng
hshmen Of the seventeenth century. What was
smoked IN the pre-tobacco pipes is not definitely
known, but il is supposed that they were used
chiefly in connection with ceremOnials. and that
aromatic herbs were burned in them. The
pipes of the world are all made on one general
plan, as they have a bowl and a stem, but there
L. an infinite variety Of treatment and orna-
mentatiOn.
In the view of the ethnologist the pipes of
savage people have a peculiar value, for upon
them they expended al their skill at ornament
tation. Their pipes often represent the high
est expression of their rude art. Studying the
pipe. the scientist gets at some idea of the pipe
maker. The collection of pipes in the depart
ment Of ethology at the museum, arranged I'M
der the direction Of Prof. Otis I. Mason. rep
resents the whole world. but it is especially
rich in specimens collected among the North
American Indians and Eskimos. Some of the
finest carved work of the Alaska and Northwest
coast Indians is that displayed on their pipes.
The pipes of the plains Indians are fashioned
OF soft stone, made of clay. Some
are tomahawk pipes. In the days be-
fore fre-water and plug hats were introduced
among the red men. and when they still re-
tanned their primitive simplicity and pictur-
sequences. the pipe was the Indians altar.
Longfellow tells how:
"Gitche Manito the mighty,
Smoked the calumet. the peace-pipe
As signal To the nations"
He broke a fragment from the red stone of
the quarry. and fashioned il into a pipe head
He took long reed. with its dark green leaves
upon IL for a stem. and filed the bowl with
willow bark. This would not, according to the
modern idea. make a very agreeable smoke. but
willow bark appears to have been the nearest
approach 10 tobacco known TO the Indians in
the days LOngfellow wrote about. When white
men came with tobacco, they gave up willow
bark and gave up their lands. too. Smoking
with the Indians appears 20 have been largely
ceremonial. At council a pipe was gravely
lightly and passed from one chief TO another,
each taking a Whit. and then passing il on.
Indian pipes take many forms. Many of
them in the collection are made Of the red
