deties and set adrift on the Nile in little boats made of papyrus and Illuminated with great number of lights.
 Another part of the rites included the making of an image of Osiris from vege- table mold moistened with water and mixed with precious spices and incense. The image was a small moon-shaped af- fair but when properly robed and orna- mented was supposed to be pious rep resentation of Osiris.
 Over one of these idols buried in golden casket the Egyptians would la ment for days with shorn heads. They would smite their breasts in the most violent manner and slash their shoulders with knives, ripping open the old wounds left from previous years of similar mourning.
 These strange rites closed with the pretended discovery of the whereabouts of the lost god. His effigy was removed from the grave and supposedly restored to life. Then were heard the shouts of wild joy which arc described and alluded to by so many ancient writers.
 The Egyptians made extensive use of exquisitely wrought little dolls to picture incidents in the lives of their dead heroes here on earth and their imagined careers in the world beyond the grave. These were frequently buried with the num- mics of the Pharaohs and other great ones.
 Many interesting sets of these dolls have been recovered from tombs in

Egypt and number of them are on ex. hibition in American museums
 The very mummies themselves which the Egyptians made of their dead were nothing more or less than an effort to transform the corpses into life-size 'dolls' that would endure forever.
 The use of dolls of various sizes made from wood and other materials furnishes primitive African tribes with a favorite way of puniishing their enemies.
 The natives fashion each doll as well as they can in the image of some par ticularly obnoxious person. It is be- l'eved that by sticking pins into the image or exposing it to intense heat or cold the person it representes can be made to suffer pain. If the image is buried in the earth or sunk in some river or destroyed by burning, the death of the person represented is confidently believed to occur simultaneously.
 The only way he can escape such a fate IS through the possession of some charm more powerful than any owned by the person seeking to punish him.
 Among some African tribes the dolls were also used by the medicine men to cure diseases and hea! wounds. It was the savage belief that medicines and other treatments did more good when applied to an image of the sufferer than when given to the victim himself. Thus. if man fell i'll of fever, little image of him would be constructed ard drenched with cooling lotions.

 especially for use as charms to in.
 sure an abundance of rain many relapses. The Mosaic command ment against ido}atry was a necessary prohibition against the making and wor- shiping of graven images. The Moham- medan injunction against the representa- ton of living forms implied similar purpose and had profound effect on the art of Islam.
 ''It may be asserted that the free use of dolls is evidence of the submergence of superstition and advance to higher culture, with the consequent broaden ing of religious ideas. It follows, there fore, that dolls as we know them are not of great antiquity and the researches of archaeology are Illuminating on this point.'
 What is called homeopathic or imita- tive magic is worked by means of doll like images of various kinds. This magic is the favorite primitive savage method of putting obnoxious people out of the world and it is also sometimes used for the benevolent purpose of helping others into it.
 Among the Bataks of Sumatra a woman who is anxious to become mother will make a wooden image of child and hold it in her lap. believing that this will lead to the fulfllment of her wish.
 In the Babar Archipelago when a woman desires to become mother she invites man who is himself the father of large family to pray on her behalf to Upulero, the spirit of the sun. doll is made of red cotton which the woman clasps in her arms and croons over just as if it were a real infant.
 Then the father of many children takes a fowl and holds it by the legs over the woman's head, saying, 70 Upu- lero, make use of the fowl; let fall, let descend child-I beseech you, I en- treat you--let child fall and descend into my hands and on my lap"
 Then he asks the woman, ''Has the child come?" and she, clasping the red cotton doll more tightly answers, "Yes, it is here already"
 After that the man holds the fowl over the husbands head and mumbles some form of words. Lastly, the bird is killed and laid, together with some betel, on the domestic place of sacrifice. When the ceremony is over the woman's friends gather at her home and congrat- ulate her just as if she had actually be- come mother.
 The use of dolls to represent their gods played an important part in the religion of the ancient Egyptians. At the time of the year when the funeral of Osiris was commemorated small images of the god were molded from sand or vegetable earth and corn, to which incense was som ,timon added.
 The faces of these images were painted yellow and the cheek bones green. They were cast in mold of pure gold, which represented the god in the form of mummy with the white crown of Egypt on his head.
 In the course of the rites, which lasted eighteen days, these images of Osiris would be surrounded by images of other

confront man was that of death, and it is evi- dent that he had very early perceived that death was a transfer of some thing from the chief focus to another place or status.
 "There arise here a multitude of observances and rites to separate the ghost from its former af- fillations and a host of be- liefs originate concerning the state, powers, inf1u- ences and existence of the ghost.
 Added to in every stage of culture and rami- flying to an astonishing de- gree, these beliefs are in- extricably entangled with the highest thought of civilization. If the ghost is the ancestor of the soul or complex of souls, we may contrast the power of the one with the helpless ness of the other.
 Later, under the infu- cnce of particular social and religious organiza- tions and ideas, larger, even colossal, representa- tions are made and given correspondingly grandiose attributes. For the pur- pose of personal worship miniatures of t h @ S e, charged with sanctity. are made to deposit in shrines. These miniatures readily become dolls following the decay of religions.
 "An examination into the distribution of dolls will disclose the fact that some tribes, even whole races, are destitute of these familiar objects, and that some tribes have

HOLLS were not always the inno-
 cent playthngs of childhood that
 they are to-day. In many parts of the earth they were originally the images of primitive mans gods, objects to be reverently worshiped and to be used in the strange ways the medicine men and sorcerers taught as charms against all sorts of evil.
 This is one of many interesting and significant facts established by the trac- ing of the evolution of the doll. Its pedigree goes back 25,ooo years to the crude images sculptured from clay at the end of the old Stone Age and few things have a more intimate connec- tion with mans progress toward civili- zaton.
 Science finds it possible 10 measure the degree of culture attained by tribe with great accuracy by studying the use to which it put the images which we call dolls.
 When men worshipcd these images and placed implicit confidence in them as charms against disease, death and the attacks of enemies, they were sunk in the depths of savagery and supersti- tion. But when they began to lose their faith in the supernatural powers of these images and turn them over to their children for playthngs they were mak- ing a long advance toward the under standing and culture which we call civili- zation.
 Not only did these often curious images serve as primitive mans idols and charms against evil but they were, it is believed, the first objects of art which he produced. The superstition which held him a slave served at least one good purpose when it impelled him to turn his hand to reproducing in clay, wood or stone the supposed likeness of one of his gods or some object which prove infallibly terrifying to evil spirits, wild beasts and his human enemies.
 Science is able to measure the growth of mans artistic ability by the skill he showed in fashioning these images. And 1t has lately found out that it can also measure his rate of progress toward freedom from the slavery of heather superstition by the use to which he put them.
 This is not possible, however, in the case of every race or tribe. Some of them seem never to have had any dolls Others had only such dolls as they bor- rowed from other peoples.
 For example, the earliest known doll possessed by the American Indians is tremendously frillcd and rufFed in all the vain-glorious fussiness of the Eliza bethan epoch. Undoubtedly, it did not originate with the Indians but was gift from some visiting sixteenth cen tury explorers from England.
 One of the scientists who have been studying the evolution of the doll is Dr. Walter Hough, of the National Museum Some very interesting and important facts and thco.ies resulting from his in vestigatlOns were presented in an ad dress be gave at recent meeting of the American Association for the Ad- yancement of Science.
 ''The cbild's doll of to-day,' said Dr. Hough, "is the lineal descendant of the first known art objects made by early man. and in some parts of the world is
