The Ring of the True Metal.
THE LABRADOR EXPEDITION

Returns From the Far North With an In
terestinR Geological. Geological. Botsni-
cal and chronological Exhibit for tho
Worlds Fair.
Boston, Oct 15.-The schooner Eve
lena. Capt. William Mcconnell, arrived
here yesterday with the Labrador ex-
petition which was sent out by the
management of the Worlds fair last
June to secure an Esklmos exhibit
for the fair. Messrs. w. d. Vincent
and II. G. Taber, who are in charge,
report a very successful issue to their
undertaking. The summer was spent
on the coast of Labrador from Eski-
mo bay to the northern extremity
of the peninsula, and very complete
collections were secured of thing
of interest in the department of ethnol-
ogy and archaeology which they repre-
sent. They were assisted by Mr.. Lyle
Vincent and Mr.. Shonberger, in MAX
ing botanical and geological specimens.
The expedition is indebted to the
officers of the Hudson Bay Co. and the
Moravian missionaries for much valua-
bic assistance. It has secured a dozen
familiesn of native Esximos, selected
from various points on the northern
coasts, and which include representa-
tives from the partially civilized,
Eskimos at the Hudson Bay Co.'S
post. converts from the Moravian
mission stations and heather aborgin-
ais from Cape Chidley and the
shores of Ungava. The last named are
typical of the ancient race they repre-
sent, and have never before been
brought into contact with civilization.
These are the rowing eaters of raw fish
and flesh described by Capt. Hall, and
they bring with them their KayalSaks,
or boats, Kammitaka or sleds, stone
and bone utensils, dog teams and gen.
eral paraphernalia. They will remain
in Boston but one day, when a special
train will convey them to Chicago.
