RELICS OF SAVAGEs.
Objects to Be Found in PennsN-

Arts Are Of New ZeaIsnder--canoes
and implements Of War Were
Once Used by cannIbaI An
cestors Of Civilized People.

Philadelphia, Pa.-The University
of Pennsylvania museum is making a
special effort to secure as many col
lections and as much data from the
islands of the South Pacific as is pos
sible, and Director Gordon is sparing
neither time nor money in securing
additions to the present South Sea ex-
hibit. The reason for this is that
antiques and relics of the aborigines
Of that part of the world are extreme
ly rare and can be obtained only at
the greatest difficulty and expense.
When the South Sea islands were
first discovered by Capt. Cook. the ma
tives had a well developed artistic
sense and made many beautiful
things, but with the colonization of
the islands by Europeans and the
coming of western customs native arts
at once became extinct. Fortunately.
the early travellers brought to Europe
numerous collections which have, for
the most part. remained in private
hands to the present day. Now. how
ever, they are gradually finding their
way to continental auction rooms,
where they are publicly sold.
The university museum is keeping a
sharp lookout for such sales and has
an agent in London, where most col
lectioIs are sold. He has special in
structions to watch for the sale Of
South Pacific collections and buy
them for the University of Pennsyl-
vania, the cost not being considered.
In the last few months he has Sc
cured some very valuable material
and is now on the trail of more.
At present there is on temporary
