No influence is so potent in its

THE ESkIMo'S PIPE
Small Bowls With Stems OF WaIrus
Tusk Handsomely CARVED

The pipes used by the Eskimos are
quite different from those of any 9th.
er North American race, and in the
shape OF the bowl more resemble the
OPIUM pipes used by the Chinese than
anything else. The old pipes We're
very small in the amount of tobacco
that they would hold, for in former
days tobacco was extremely scarce
ana IN ITS use was most carefully hus-
banded.
There was therefore wide flaring
margin TO the pipe TO catch any grams
OF tobacco that might be spilled in
lllling it, then there was hollow
which would hold a pinch OF tobacco
nall as large as an ordinary pea and
rather wide hole passing down
through the base OF the bowl which
lifted into the pipe stem. The bowl
OF the pipe MAS OF ivory, stone, brass
or copper
The pipe stem was curved and had
mouthpie9. 1t is said that the
small hole l1unning down through the
base OF the bowl and into the pipe
stem was usually plugged with car
bou hair to save any grains OF tobac-
co that might otherwise have passed
down through this aperture and SO be
lost. The smoking of such pipe
would not last long, and we may pre-.
sumo that very few draws would
exhaust it.. The smoke was OF course
taken into the lungs.
The Esk1mos are known to be ex.
tremely skilful In the representation
OF scenes and objects, while the In.
dlans of Queen Charlottes Sound and
generally all the natives OF the north
west coast Of America are famous for
their carving in wood and in Il black
slate. Handsomely carved Eskimo
pipes OF walrus ivory from northwes-
tern Alaska have on each side of the
pipe, that is TO say on four more or
less long flat surfaces, scenes from
the daily life of the Eskimo. OF these
the two sides on The right hand of
the pipe, as it is he Id in position for
smoking, appear to represent the per-
Tod OF cold weather, later autumn,
winter and early spring, while those
on the left hand side OF the pipe rep.
resent rthe summer life Of the Eskimo.
