Tn. Eskimo Skin Canoe.

The kayak, or skin canoe, of the Els
kimo was in use on the coast Of north
ern Russia two or three centuries ago,
according to DR.. MacRitchie, F. s. A.
{Scot). Evidence of this is obtained
from statements mado by Bufrough in
1906 and from the chronicles OF Dan
ish expedition to VaiSatz in 1858. 1t
was further shown that three kayaks
were captured off the northern shores
Of Scotland about the end of the sew
enteenth century. One Of these is still
preserved in the museum of Marischal
college, Aberdeen. An important fact
is the occasional presence of kayay-

results. Valuable hints on poultry,
spraying, fertilizing and the use of
insecticides are also given.
