resenting the explorers whiskers. The
drawing shows the subject with only
three fingers on each hand and both his
feet turned sidewise, although the draw

of an ibis, third heron and one por-
traying Fries dog. There is also one of
a deer. which is recognizable by it's ant
lers. and scattered in various productions
of the Indian are samples of his idea of
birds. All these animals represent the
game that was bagged in the hunt.
A drawing of two birds includes line
denoting the course of a bullet that killed
them both Eric tells how the picture of
;the deer provoked laughter among the
Indians when the calabash bearing the
drawing was passed around the huts. for
in that country no native kills stag or
buck, the indescribable stencil of its flesh
rendering it unpalatable.
Another figure represents a steamboat

the explorer to the river. The artist has
left out no detail of Importance. the an
chor, masts and smoke being as accurate

Other figures represent evil spirits,
which play such an important part in the
lives of these primitive tribes. Indians
imagine to themselves the universe as
peopled with evil spirits responsible for
all the evils and ills of this life. IT is
they who cause sickness and death. which
in the ordinary way would. not fall to the
lot of man.
In order to drive away these spirits
drawings of them are made on ealabashes
and, armed with these. the Indians seek
to rid themselves of the unwelcOme
guests. The ceremony is accompanied
by as much noise as these sturdy specS-
mems of humanity are capable of making.
Among the tribes visited by. Eric tho con-
ception of the evil spirit was that OF a
weird. unearthly object. often adorned
with two heads and three feet or with
