Indians Are Dying Out.
The indians of the Strait of Magellan
are fast dying out. 1 doubt whether
there are now, all told, more than 1000,
although they numbered three times
as many decade ago. As it is, the Onas
ana Hagnans, the largest tribes, have
almost disappeared, and the canoe indi-
ans, or AIacalufes, are fewer than ever.
Inc AIacalufe canoes that saw were
wei constructed, and some Of them
were 10 feet long, a yard wide and
about two feet in depth. They were
made OF strips of bark sewn together
with sinews and fastened to ribs which
ran across the canoe. Each boat had
ITS fire, which was built on some earth
IN the center. The indians who were
not padding or steering the boat sat
around these fires, and some cooked

to her breast with one hand and steered
the boat with the other. Another wife
near the prov aided in padding. She

was bare. She bent back and forth as
