LONDON, March 25,--A profound SEN
sation has been created in Italy by the
report that a French house sent 100, 900
Remington cartridges to King Menelek
of Abysinnia by way of Obock. AS
Italy considers Menelell to be under
Italian protection, this is regarded as an
act of interference with Italian rights,
and has not served to hasten the revival
of friendly relations between France
and Italy, A good share of the Ital-

perhaps more interesting than the snow
huts would have been.
The typical hut of the Siberian Eskimo is
circular, and from fifteen to twenty feet In
diameter, 1t is a rude framework made of
pieces of driftwood gathered along the
beach, put together without the use OF q
nail, but dashed at all necessary points with
strips of sealskin. The poles forming the
roof slant up to a common point, and here
a small hole is left open at all times for
smoke and foul air to get out, and not IN

This whole framework is covered with wal

From Port Clarence l travelled along up
the coast of Alaska to and beyond Point
Barrow, and | found that what was true or
habitations in one settlement was true or
all. In the early winter when these Alas
kan Eskimo were off on their deer hunts
thev would occasionally build a temporary
shelter of snow, but it was more likely to
be a wind-break of snow, while the shelter
itself would be a hut of deerskin blankets.
On the Arctic shores Rf Alaska the land is
low and level. Over these vast stretches or
| sweep, and habitations OF the warmest.
most protected kind are an absolute neces-
| sity to protect the natives and keep them
| from freezing to death. Hence the form
the p-a-loo takes. 1t is all under ground and
| the gnles can blow over it and the snow
drift over it, vet the occupants are snug ana
warm. And the roof being almost level
with the ground, there is no danger OF be-
ing buried under drifts of snow.
The entrance to the ig-a-loo is usually hf-
teen feet or more away from the hut itself.
This entrance way consists of a small OPEN
ing in the ground and an underground pas
sage, through which ono has to crawl on all
tours. 1t enters the room through a hole
in the floor. At the outside of the entrance
is a shifting board which controls the
amount of snow or air that gets into the
passage wav, and there is a covering for
the hole in the floor, 80 that tho occupants
can make themselves "a snug as does the

every hut in the settlement had a patch
work effect. Many huts, too, have pieces of
boards around their base, relics of the
many whnleships that have been wrecked
in this vicinity.
And rs it was at this place. Cape Tchap-
lin. or az it is more Familiarity called by the
whalemen, Indian point. so it was all along
the coast of Siberia, snow huts were practl-
cnlly unknown, and every family lived in n
permanent, substantial abode, which was
occupied all the year round.
With my faith thus shaken in the Eskimo
being different in Siberia from what ho
should be, it WAS with an uncertain feeling
that | looked forward to seeing the Eskimo
in Alaska. MY first experience with them
was Mt Port Clarence, leas than 100 miles
below Rehring straits. Here were 100 or
more natives, and each family lived in n
small tent made of sail cloth bought from
the whaleships. or of desrskin. Thssa
tents were called too-picks, and were made
in various shapes. But most of them were
round, perhaps eight feet in diameter and
much like the round crown of a Derby hat.
To set into the too-pick it was necessary to
get down on all fours and crawl into n
small opening. The % were most Temporal v
affairs ana could be taken down or put up
in n few hours.

Now, these are genuine Eskimo" said

pointing to a distant place.
"See.' said he. "i0-a-loo," and he held
up six fingers to tell me that there wore six
OF them.
Here WAS a mystery, for there was no
snow on the ground to build iH-R-loos with.
To solve the mystery l had n boat lowered
after dinner. and with the interpreter went
over to the ig-a-loos. There were half a
dozen mounds with as many crudo Soaf-
feelings, and with tho aid Of tho inter

of North America, and the most northern
hut in the settlement is a log dance hall.
1t is a small structure, not over fifteen by
eighteen feet, inside measure, but it serves
the purpose of the natives as a place OF
amusement during the long night of six
weeks continuous darkness in mid-wlnter.
Conspicuous in each settlement are scat
foldings built near every hut; These are
from ten to twenty feet high, sometimes
single, but not unfrequently double. On
these meat, skins, whalebone and other
things are kept way from the ravenous
dogs. ~,
At first thought many of these things
seem foreign to the Eskimo: But a close
study of the conditions of their existence
soon shows that. although ttese natives
speak a modification of the same language
that the Hudson's bay natives use, and are
evidently of the same people, yet the p,ecu-
liar surroundings in which they live have
necessitated new and modified methods of
preserving life. 1t is apparent that the
snow hut in itself does not make the
Eskimo.
