since had dsintegrated into masses of fibers
The first tomb of this kind to be opened"
says DR.. Rainey, was a profound shock to all
of had worked down through the mass
of fibers to find the dome of perfectly sound
human skull then began to peel back the
fibers from the face.
There staring up at us were two large
yellow eyes with great black pupils ! re-
member the gasps of the Eskimos peering
down from above
The eyes we're carved from ivory and the
pupils were nsets of some hard black sub
stance. When this man buried, many
centuries if not two three thousand years
ago his eyeballs must have been gouged out
to make room for the ivory eyes for they
were plugs set deep in the eye-sockets."
During the week that followed two more
men were found with ivory eyes One
had ivory nose plugs carved to represent
birds heads and an elaborate ivory mouth
piece covering it's teeth
This probably was not a mere decoration
of the corpse but was used by these people
as a means of keeping the soul of the dead
man in his body Even the bird head carvings
seem to indicate this. Many primitive people
once believed that the soul resided in the
human breath and some thought that the
spirit took the form of bird as it left the body.
If the soul Of dead person was allowed to
escape it would try to coax the souls of living
relatives and friends out of their bodies and
they too would die, so it was thought
For this reason certain tribes in South
America used to seal up the eyes. nose and
mouth of dying person Primitive Austria
lians placed hot Goals in the ears of a corpse
and beat hasty retreat hoping that the ghost
would not be able to leave the body until they
had such good start that it would be unable
to catch up.
It long has been a custom among the Es-
kimo mourners to plug their own nostrils with
cotton for several days after person died
This no doubt is a carry-over of the idea that
the dead persons soul might spirit their
away.
1t seems entirely probable. then, that the
first Arctic men used elaborate measures to
guard against the wandering soul of the dead
by imprisoning it in the corpse
But DR. Rainey brought back to the mu-
scum about so skulls of these ancient people
and only three had the ivory eyes-one the
nose and mouth shoppers.
Why was 1t so important to keep the souls
of these three from wandering about? Or
was it their tenantless dead bodies these early
Arctics feared? ~
If we consult folk lore we find that some
primitive tribes had the idea Of one collective
soul for whole group; animal as leader
of the herd; one tree taking care of the soul

Eskimo villagers who lowered around and
watched eagerly at his side.
There is no known record of any other
primitive people who removed the eyes of their
dead and replaced them with such elaborate
substitutes although some did gouge out eyes
and mutilate bodies of enemies.
No one knows whether the man in this
new-found grave. who according to experts
must have lived many centuries or even thou
sands of years ago had anything to do with
the old Eskimo legend but it is possible.
What is more important to the history of
mankind is the fact that here may be the
answer to the question, long asked by anthro-
biologists, who are the Eskimos ,"
Dr. Rainey believes that he and his asso-
ciates have found in this spot 100 miles above
the Arctic Circle the home and burial grounds
of ancient race, not Eskimo the first race
to settle along the Arctic coast
These people with culture very different
from that of modern Eskimos so different
that DR.. Rainey gives it the special name of
Iputak culture after the gravel spit where
these people were found may have been the
race from which modern Eskimos came.
Most anthropologists agree that the first
man to arrive in North America came from
Asia He probably didn't come alone hut was
81 accompanied by friends and relatives
And many such groups came over from
time to time. This started it is estimated
anywhere from 10000 to $4,000 years ago
Until this time our country probably was
merely land inhabited by huge mammoths
bears. sabre-toothed tigers giant sloths and
other animals and covered with penteous
vegetation.
The earliest human travellers from another
continent to our own are supposed according
to one theory to have crossed over the mar
row Boring Strait where Asia and Alaska are
separted by only So miles of water. Even this
expanse Of ocean is broken by islands. and
land is always in sight. Primitive boatmen
might easily have Travelled from one island 10
another
These early men did not settle in the cold
regions of the North They migrated toward the
sun and the warmer climate TO the southwark:

these wanderers of many thousand years ago.
Even today in Alaska. DR.. -Rainey reports
Eskimos and Indians regard themselves
distinct peoples-the Eskimos frequently re-
ferring to their Indian neighbors by such
complimentary terms 'louse's eggs"
Discovery by Dr. Rainey of the home of
what he believes may be the first Arctic
men was made largely by accident.
1t was in the Springtime and the grass
over this particular spot lay in an unusual
pattern of many yellow-green squares ar
ranged in orderly fashion along green lanes.
The pattern looked much like the plan of
a city that Or. Rainey and his associate DR..
Hedge Larsen of the Danish National Museum,
were eager to investigate
Excavation led to a lot Of excitement.
Under each yellow square of grass that was
turned up there was found the remains of a
house. The greener grass grew over what
must have been the city streets.
Six hundred and twenty-five patches Of
yellow grass were counted indicating that
there were that many houses

But now the natives of one
remote part Of Alaska have
had the surprise of their lives!
They are talking again of the
stories their parents handed
down to them. for they have
seen with their own eyes a
man with ivory orbs like those
of that legendary bad man.
This strange creature stared
up at them from the ruins of
a long-lost grave!
Excavations of utmost i'm
portance in tracing migrations
of early man to this country
were being carried out in the
ruins of an ancient village
site near Point Hope, Alaska,
by DIR. Froelich G.. Rainey.
leader Of an expedition for the
American Museum of Natural
History and a member of the
faculty of the University of
Alaska DR. Rainey was the
first person to see the skull

of a community in charge Of the communal
soul 1t is possible that the spirits of these
Eskimos were regarded especially impor-
tant
It a common belief among primitives
that ghosts hung around the fringe of village
at night waiting to attract the soul Of some
living person to one of their dead bodies. This
they did when the victim was asleep. For in
sleep il was commonly believed souls would
take on various shapes and leave the sleepers
body TO wander about. collecting the expert
ences that made up their owners dreams.
1t was important that the sleeper be AL
lowed to awake naturally since a sudden awak-
ening might find his soul far away and
able to return in time to ward off death.
An amusing legend exists wherein a GER
tain man went to sleep and his soul, taking
on the shape of lizard crawled out Of his
mouth and finally into pitcher of water on
a nearby stand Someone placed dish
the top of the pitcher the lizard could not
get out. On awakening the man appeared
TO die.
His friends, with much weeping. prepared
to burn his body but. in the meantime some
took the dish off the water pitcher. The
lizard shaped soul of the supposed dead man
returned to its master. He-no longer soul
less-awoke and saw the preparations for his
own funeral. whereupon he wanted TO know
what all the rumpus about. He merely
had been dreaming about wandering afar and
falling into the ocean.
The superstitious in nearly every primitive
culture believed that if the ghost lurking out
side village could capture a sleeper's soul
before it returned. he would live again and the
souls real owner would die
- The three ivory-eyed men OF the Arctic
may have seemed more dangerous as potential
ghosts. than ordinary dead men. They may
have had special reason to return and wreak
vengeance on some of their relatives. Knowing
this. and to save their own lives the survivors
may have believed it necessary to spend all
their wealth on the elaborate ivory soul
guards" found on these skeletons.
But since the excavations at Point Hope
by no means completed many more of
these ivory face-pieces may be found on other
skulls The practice may have been common
among all who could afford it.
At present DR.. Rainey is not working on
this angle of the find but together with some
of the experts at the American Museum Of
Natural History in New York, is studying the
skeletons which he brought back from Alaska.
This work will take many months but when
it is finished he hopes to be able to say def
nitely whether this new-found race really is
the forerunner of the present-day Eskimo and
just what part it played in the history of man
in North America.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

In olden stories we find q great
deal about dragons. These monsters
are described in tales which have
been told in both Europe and Asia.
The name dragon" goes back to
the Greek language. 1t arose from
q word for "eye" and refers to the
terrible eyes which dragons were
supposed to have.
Artists do not always draw
dragon in Just the same way, but
the monster commonly is shown as
a huge-lizardlike animal with wings
and with powerful claws. Often it
Is pictured rs if breathing out fire.
Sometimes a dragon has been
imagined as having the body of a
huge snake. The snake-bodied drag
on has been more popular" in Asia
than in Europe, but both kinds have
had a place in stories told on both
continents.
An old Greek story speaks of a
hero named Cadmus, who founded
the city of Thebes. We are old that
some of the men with him were
killed by dragon.
The story goes on to say that
Cadmus killed the dragon, then took
out its teeth and put them under
the soil. From the teeth sprang
armed men who quickly started to
fight one another. At length only
five of the armed men were left
alive; they stopped fighting and be-
