Ancient Pipes Found in Indian
Mounds.

The custom OF smoking tobacco,
which Columbus and other European
pioneers in the invasion OF America
found we'll established here, lmparts a
peculiarly American interest to the
pipes which antiquarlans have collect
ed. A special report on the smoking
customs and pipes of the aboriglnes of
this continent has been published by
the Smithsonian Institute. 1t was
written by Joseph d. Mcclure. Of Eli
colt City Md, and eopiously illustrat-
ed.
The pictures, as one might expect,
AFFORD a good Idea of the richest and
most curious finds Of sundry tribes,
partly OF stone or wood. partly of ter
ra Gotta and clay. large number of
them having been found in the
mounds of the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys. The shapes of the bowls are
OF all descriptions; some represent
birds, heads of birds, mice and other
rodents. toads, frogs lizards, men in
a recumbent, suting or cquatting pos
ture, and human heads and faces.
The tublar shape was widely in use
in ancient America. Mr.. Mcguire
shows stone tubes with bone mouth
pieces, sandstone tubes, pottery tube
pipes, red pottery tube and bowl pipes,
steatite tubular pipes, copper tubes,
bone pipes and others. There are
also stone shaped bowls. stone bowls
with thong holes, antler pipes, fossil
brazed iron pipes, ,tomahawk and mon
itor pipes The feathered calumet
pipe OF the West looks artistic and at
tractive, and the vase shaped Micmac
pipe has at least the merit CT curiosity.
A contributor to Science" who sup
plies some of the foregoing informa-
tlons, addse:
THE author has with consummate
industry collected passages referring
to pipes and smoking in the historians
of past centuries ana given his idea
about the formation of types in smok-
inb implements. There are but few
articles of Indian manufacture that
will give clearer idea to the artistic
sense or genus in fashioning ruder
material tina npipes, although they all
manifest that they originated in the
stage of barbarism. Probably the old
est instance. historically traceable, is
the richly dressed shaman or chief
represented upon the Palenque tablet
of Chiapas State, Guatemala, who
makes use of long tubular pipe to
produce huge clouds of smoke issuing
at the wider end and seems TO enjoy
the smokin gintensely to judge from
his very characteristic grimace. Thi:
bass-relief is produced in Mcclure ;
publication; he thinks that the use ct
tobacco for snuffing was peculiar to
South America, and the habit of chew
ing is but seldom and indistinctly re-
ferred to in any part of this Western
world "
