WASHINGTON ID. &C., Nov. 20
Visitors to the National Museum in
washington are Invariably attracted
by the groups Of obariginees arranged
in glass cases, so perfectly modelled
and attired In the costumes of their
tribes that at first glance 1t seems
that they must be alive. This work
lis done in such an artistic manner,
and so faithful to details, that any
iplainsman who knows the Indians
will tell at glance the particular
tribe to which each group belongs.
The costumes in many cases are
ones that have been worn by Indians
themselves, and the implements and
utensils scattered about are genuine
ones.
While many of the tribes illus
Itrated in this manner are now ex-
tinct, those that still remain in a
isemi-savage state will be represented
at the San Diego exposition. II the
wax figures are interesting, how
much more interest will attach to
the living people, living in their ma
| tive manner dress in the ilabitimenta
which made them the most pic
turesque OF all native peoples, and
occupied in the arts, crafts and pur-
suits of their every day life. This
will constitute a human interest fea-
ture which has never before been
seen in one place. Great difficulty
and expense will attach to the install
Ilation of this anttTopological feature
and it Is sure to share the attention
OF the public with the more preten-
| tious efforts OF civilized man.
