Journeys Made by Greenlandsrs In Their
Woman Beats

Journeys Made by Greenlanders In Their
womau-Bsata
The woman boats of the Greenland
ers are so called because, unlike the
kaiaks, they are rowed by women
They are open, hat-bottomed, incon-
venient sea-boats, but large enough for
family and the family goods-tents,
household implements, dogs children
and the rest
The are rowed by as many as half &
score of oarswomen, and sometimes
make run of fifty English miles day.
They are generally steered by the faith
er of the family, while the other male
mem bers follow in their kaiaks
In their woman-boats, says Doctor
Napsen, the Greenlanders used TO move
from one hunting ground to another
all through the summer. Fer one or two
months they always went far up the
fords in search of reindeer, and there
they lived on the fat of the land.
In those days they often undertook
long journeys up and down the west
coast, as they do TO this day on the
east coast These journeys are some
times five hundred miles in length
They do not generally travel quickly.
One of two woman boats which we met
on the east coast at Cape Billie in 1883,
on their way southwark, did not reach
Pamiagluk. west of Cape Farewell, un-
til two years later, in 1890; and this is
only = distance of some one hundred
and eighty miles. which we with our
boats could no doubt have covered in a
week or two.
But as soon as the Eskimcs come 70

they go ashore, pitch their camp. take
to hunting. and live at their ease At
the approach of autumn they choose a
good site, build winter house, and
continue their journey in the spring or
summer as soon as the ice permits
The woman-boat in question had in
this manner sPsnt three years on the
passage from Umivik. and would no
doubt take pretty nearly as long 10 re-
turn
The other woman-boat that was pass
ing southwark from Cape Bile got as
far as Nanusek. about sixty-hve miles
from the trading settlements west Of
Cape Farewell. and there went into
winter quarters; but then the father of
the family died, and they faced round
and set about the long journey back TO
Angmagsalik. without ever having

it was found that the spots do not van
ish as the edge is approached; they are,
in fact, often seen quite close up to the
edge; nay, further, it has sometimes
happened that a large spot is actually
caught at the very margin of the sun
In such q case the effect produced is
that of notch, or bite" taken out Of
the bright, circular edge. Such an oc-
currence is a demonstration that the
spot can not be q cloud above the

The Interpretation of the remarkab bic
granular structure of the solar surface
has now become apparent 1t is ascer-
tanned that the luminosity is due to the
bright clouds which float over the so
lar surface. The clouds are not gener-
ally continuous; there are more usually
intervening spaces of various magni-
tudea When these intervening spaces
are considerable, they are called spots,
and in some cases the spots are great
enough for a globe of the size Of the
earth to be passed through the aper-
ture without touching either one side
or the other; at other times, or in other
places. the spaces between the lumin-
Gus clouds are much smaller. and. in

Night funerals are growing in favor.

The do0ning Of mourning weeds Is
becoming more and more . matter of
personal preference. Two considera-
tions will doubtless always have
weight with the bereaved. There is
an element of respect in the assuming
of the esteem in which the deceased
was held, and this people hesitate to
disregard The other consideration
has to do with the convenience and
comfort of the mourners- 1t does
away with painful question on the
part Of those who have not heard of
the death. This is an important con-
sideTation, and has induced more
people to don the ''trappings and the
suits Of woe" than any other. Consid-
cred from this point of view, and not
as means to add gloom TO ones ap-
pesrance, mourning need not neces-
sarily be unbecoming and unorna-

In keeping with the prinoiples,
ladies have gradually added more and

ment of details cannot be overestinat-
ed. The embarrassment caused by
q break in wedding ceremony
is as nothing to the horror which
icreeps over the assembled mourn
ers when the undertaken has
neglected some little detail in the
conduct of funeral Everything must
run smoothly even if the grief-strickeI
friends are compelled to assist in the
preparations This is seldom the case,
however, as everything is in the hands
Of the undertaken from the instant of
death until the last heap of earth is
thrown into the grave.
Although it is q trying ordeal for the
afflicted nourncrs, most people prefer
to select the burial robes for their own
dead. These depend very much upon
the age of the deceased. The old fash
ion of making the shroud as a labor Of
love has given way to the more con-
venient custom of giving the order to
the undertaken. The suddenness Of
death necessitates his keeping a stock
of ready-made burial robes which diff.
fer more in color and arrangement of
trimming than in any other particular.
They are all long, loose gowns sug-
gestive of sleeping robes. Some have
of satin. Others are trimmed
with fine lace and even chiffon. It
sounds almost frivolous, does It not?
