QUEER CUSTOMS OF ESKlM0S
Abidlna Faith In Odd Beliefs Not In.
frequently Works to Their Seri-
GUS Disadvantage.

Superstition is still silent monarch
among the Esklmos. When the men
are away after sea animals the women
are not permitted to work on the skins
of land animals; and when the men
hunt caribou the women must not
touch the skins Of sea animals. Men
must not work on iron until three days
after the polar bear has been hunted.
The first seal killed in a days hunt
ing is brought into the igloo through
special hole cut into the Ice walls,
and the eyes are punched out before
1t is dragged In the room to prevent
its soul seeing the interior, which
would bring bad luck.
When the whale-hunting season
opens the Eskimos have dance fest
that lasts for week; and while the
Angakook, or medicine man, Is demon
strating his ability and arranging de-
tails, the ice breaks sometimes and the
whales get out into the sea, leaving
the celebrating Esklmos without even
one catch.
Stefansson, who spent many years
among the Esklmos, says they pick
up Christianity quickly, because 1t for
bids so many things, and they marvel
at Sunday--a day set aside for rest
Of which they never dreamed.

WORKS WITHOUT A BATTERY
ingenious FIashlght Evolved by the
Germans During the Closing
Days Of the War.

When the Germans could get no
more batteries for pocket flashlights
they invented fashlight that needed
no battery, and this was used extern
sively by officers In the army in the
last year of the war. A few OF these
ingenious things reached New York
recently as samples, a manufacturers
desiring to know whether there would
be a sale for them In America.
Instead of battery to supply the
electric current to the lamp, there is a
dynamo. This Is set In motion by pull
ing chord which through train Of
cOg-wheels and coiled handspring,
starts an armature spinning between
six coils, thus producing the electric
current that serves the lamp. Each
downward pull of the cord produces
enough electricity for five seconds.
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1920-08-09

The apparatus Is not much bigger
than a shoe-polish box and much the
same shape. 1t is hung by cord from
the neck. the operating cord hanging
below in position convenient for
pulling.
The mechanism is lnclosed In q tin
box, painted gray. The lid Is easily
removable, but Is waterught Every
time the cord Is pulled the spring re-
turns it instantly to its position Of
rest, so that one can have a steady
light by keeping on pulling the cord.
The mechanism is strongly made,
and there seems no reason why II
should not last indefinitely. It Is not
quite so convenient as fashlight
with a battery. but 1t has the advan-
tage over this of containing no essen
