the trials of these explorers in tn,
frozen zone. At one end of this rep
resentationis theoriginal flag displayet
nearest the north pole. 1t is a sill
flag 3 by 4 feet and was presented b,
Mrs. Greedy to the party just before
they started.
Here we found several relics, among
which is an ak used by the Greedy
party, the figure head Of the brig Adj
vance, abandoned by DR.. Kane aud
panty in 1855. 1t represents little
girl in blue with pink cheeks, who has
lost her breast by an iceberg, and her
nose of Bedeviled Reach. She was
taken from the bows and placed upon
the Hope by one of the boys who said
on 50 doing, "Boys, if we can't carry
her we can burn her."
From here We visited the snowy
haunts Of the Esquimo who are located
in the northern part of the exposition
grounds. Their front is graced on
either side by Polar bears and the
central figure is an Esquimo in full
suit of skins and SHOW shoes.
On entering their village we saw
both the civilized and the uncivilized
types, each in his native element rep
resented. The bark hut of the civil.
led is finished much like the pioneer
hit of our western wilds.
The skin-covered tent and the snow
lDuses of the uncivilized stand out in
striking contrast with the gilded
Dimes of the White City. We
entered the snow house and saw their
beds made of skins, the little oil
hmps with which their homes are
leated. and the bag made of skins into
which they crawl before sleeping.
They have two reindeers and ten
pr twelve E>quimo dogs. Here We
saw the boat of the E>quimo covered
with skins, the sled and last but not
east the Esquimo baby, called Christ
Dpher Columbus. These people
seemed quite hospitable and one was
indeed laxative. While he was en-
gagged in earnest conversation with
Jur party, one of our members
sketched quite accurately his picture
but We spare the public at this writ
ing.
THE MIDWAY PLAIsANCE.
From here we went tn Midway
Plaisance where wv v...ie.. D.arnev
Castle, containing the famous Barney
stone, the Libby glass works, streets
Of Vienna, German village, and |
others too numerous to mention. The |
most interesting feature of this visi, |
was Hagenbeck's animal show. Here |
We saw the elephant, the dog and two |
Shetland ponies march, dance and
play see-saw as natural as children.
We thought this wonderful, but I'M.
lgine our surprise when two hogs were
brought in the arena, and performed
he same with equal intelligence.
These were followed by five lions and
me dog, accompanied by the keeper,
Who talked to them as though they
we're human. 1t certainly seemed
epetition of Daniel in the lions
|en." Tie lions performed with
quail ease, every feat in which the
theirs had engaged. We saw
tx Malay bears, one Afri-
an hunting dog. one pig,
ne striped hyena, and 20 monkeys
occupying the some apartment. Only
wo years were required to educate
hese animals to dwell together as
eaceably and contentedly as broth

THE CLIFF JEWELLERS.
From here we visited the cliff
wellers, whose relics are found in an
rtificial cliff overlooking the lagoon.
While here We learned much of their
abits. One which impressed us quite
,rcibly is the burial Of their dead
he bodies are bent So that the knees
ouch the chest, thus making their
odies much shorter. They inter
leir dead in their homes in about
