stead of making it difficult for them to
step foot thereon. But Greenland has
the reputation Of. inhospitable shores
in more sens N one, the Danish
authorities r l61s ing ships to make
a landing ,ermit from them,
with tt except i of whalers, their
own goyt nment steamers, American
vessels engaged in the kryolite trade,
exploring parties, or vessels in dis
tress. Consequently, the tourist does
not find j. an easy matter to inspect
Greenland. The Danes use these
measures to protect their wards, the
Eslzimos, over whom they are kindly
rulers, much interested in the welfare
of those in their charge. The Eskimos
repay their kindness in kind, are gen.
tie and docile. Crime is almost I'M
known. They attend churches and
schools, and have considerabl BILE de-
gree of civiliza+ioan.
Some coal is7&ined in Greenland,
and the quarrying of kryolite, which
stone is valuable for the alum and
soda into which it is transformed, is
a considerable industry; but the ex-
tensive industries of Greenland are
the whale and seal fisheries.
The natives cruise among the fiords
in boats made of skins. The sealskins
are stretched on a frame Is to 20 feet
long, and feet wide, having only
one narrow opening, into which, the
native crawls wrapped in cloak that
is sewed to the boat. With his double
paddle he can make so miles a day in
this boat. Another kind of boat, also
made of skins, a fat-bottomed one, is
usually propelled by women.
The old native houses were built of
stone, boards and turf, where neither
light nor air could enter. On the east
coast, where a community may con-
sist of one house, in which will herd
sometimes half hundred persons, the
conditions of these novels is some
thing indescribably dreadful. Since
the Danes have set the example of bet
ter housing, and the use of glass win
dows, many of the natives are follow
ing the fashion. The governors sent
out by Denmark are men of culture,
and, of course, their standard of liv-
inc has it's effect. Both sexes dress
very much alike, although the differ
entiated European dress is making
Roadway among the Eskimos. Their
own costume is well adapted to the
rigors of their long cold; sealskin
pantaloons, close jacket and hood, and
big boots.
Protestant missionaries have Ia
bored with zeal in Greenland, and al
most all the Eskimos are Protestants.
In 1894 the Moravian Brothers entered
this desolate field, and found the ma
tives very submissive to their guild
ance.
Though officially the whole of Green
land belongs to Denmark, the actual
Danish territory is the inhabited part
of the west coast. There are two
governors" for South and North
Greenland, and commercial agents in
all the stations along the seaboard.
The Moravian missionaries also have
considerable influence. As to COM
MERGE Greenland trade is an abso-
lutte monopoly of the Danish govern
ment. which maintains along the coast
some 60 factories where European
wares are given in exchange for such
local produce as sealsl1ins and train
OIL eiderdown feathers, walrns ivory,
fox, bear and reindeer peltry."

There are only two original, pro-

stock iobbing or trust-merging. The
