q rather complete respirator, used In
the preparation and taking Of vapor
bath, as means of protection from
the dense smoke. This Eskimo respi-
rator is a little basket woven Of twist
ed strands of fine grass. 1t Is placed
with its shallow side against the
mouth, and a wooden peg, which
arises from the center of the basket,
is held between the teeth. For this
purpose water is evaporated over
big fire In a very low hut which Is
tightly closed to keep in the heat. In
this sitting atmosphere the employ
ment of respirator is absolutely nee

Drying and crsmating Corpse In Cen.

In Central American and West In
dian Archaeology" T. A. Joyce de-
scribes the ceremony of corpse drying,
which was followed year later by
cremation. He uses Andagoya's ac-
count of the details observed at the
decease of the Cacique Pocorosa:
The body of the dead chief was deck
ped in his richest cotton cloths. The
heir and principal men then assem-
bled and suspended the corpse by cords
In the house, placing beneath several
pans Of lighted charcoal. While it was
drying it was watched continually by
ten of the chief men, who sat round
1t night and day wearing black man
ties which covered head and body. No
one else was allowed to enter the hut,
and from time to time one OF the
watchers would strike a series of slow
strokes on drum, this action being
followed by chant in monotone In
which the principal actions of the de-
ceased were enumerated. When the
body was dry 1t was removed to the
house of the new chief, where it re-
mained suspended for year.
On the anniversary great feast was
held, at the conclusion Of which the
deceased, with his arms and models
Of his canoes, was burned in the court
yard. 1t was stated that the smoke
went to the place where his soul was,
but the exact whereabouts Of the soul
itself was not specified.
