Harpcons, Skull Spoons, Dogs Carved From Ivory, and Wooden Dolls -- Cooking Utensils Are Mostly Made of Stone, All the trophies and treasures brought from his rediscovered island far up. in Hudson Bay by Mr. R. F. Royal Ontario Museum awaiting ar- rangement for public view, and they promise a taste of the thrill of dis- covery, even in the twentieth cen- tury within a few days. The Life of a race of Eskimos who have never seen white men, unless their ances- tors left them records of the visit of Henry Hudson, is here, to be pleced together Lit by bit, from stone harpoons, spoons made of 'ani- mai skulls, and wonderful carved dogs in ivory clear, down to Baby Eskimo's flat, wooden-faced doll. From his winter spent with this tribe on the 4,000 square-mile island which had been removed from Hud: Son's map bécatise we couldn't find it, Mr. Flaberty, who has been-ex- ploring for Mackenzie and Mann, has brought a collection which will probably be of great historic value. A! least to Canadians it should prove a vitally interesting section of the big museum. x There are no reindeer on the mainland, and as the fur of polar bears is rather bulky, some hand- some clothing is made from the skin and plumage of the elderduck. They must be artistic Eskimos, for the colorings of the plumage are clever ly blended" to form white bands about the middle of the big coat, on the cuffs and the bottom, while the immense hood forms a head, with delicate green plumaage outlining it. Of course, it is unlined. Where the reindeer can be obtained, intri- cately blended costumes of the fur are worn; in winter one with the fur turned in next the body, and one for an outer coat with the fur turn- ed out; in summer, which is the month of August, the outer coat is tribe || discarded. The baby Eskimos of this || wear funny lttle sacques of baby- deal with just a throat opening. Evidently they slip oh and remain until they become too small, when they are replaced by a larger size. All of the tribe lve In igloos, which inside melt slightly from the burn i fats and form an ic2 coating. Windows consisting of sheets of ice are seen ip some. For Mrs. Eskimo there is an immense hood attached to her fur zarment in which to carry the baby, juit as with the other Eskimo tribes, but an ingenious de- vice is seen in the museum robe con- sisting of two long tails, coachman style, of the reindeer, which are folded up as a seat, since she works sitting on a snowbank. Polar bear coats and mocassing with lining and tops of bearskin are also on exhibit, Wood and metal are practically upknown in this lost corner of the edrth., The only wood received is dfiftwood, and this is immediately carvedr-and polished for household use, Most of the cooking utensils are of stone, and Mr. Flaherty has brought several stone bowls and a flat affair in which the burning oil used for Might drips. Some clever aboriginal artist has produced miniatures of the tribal life carved in the ivory from walrus tusks. There are dogs lying stiffly down, a large boat suck as the wo- men use, a family party returning from a sealing cruise, with the seal lying neatly in the bow of the flat little boat, while father paddies and mother, with the inevitable baby 'on her back, sits apparently enjoying the scenery. ere is a clever little carving of an igloo with the ice win- dow, and there is also a comb about two inches wide and evidently made for art's sake, Most of these dre the work of one member of the tribe who is full of artistic temperament, and greatly honored. He is a con- scientious soul, and a realist, for in his carving of the sled he has lashed the ti jrort ts on with minute thongs of ski The warfare of this tribe is pure- ly against animal lite for food, and their weapons are represented by harpoons which are aboriginal, con. sisting of pointed pieces of stone fastened to very long leather thongs, and a peculiar Instrument like a long stick with six pointed spears of ivory tied in groups of three, one Both guaranteed un Canrdian Geographer Has Also Made | & Marvellous Collection of Stone | Flaherty, *.R.G.S., are now in the { STRUCK CORPL.

Victims' Coffins Were Draped With Two Flags Queenstown; May 11.--The. .de- mand for United States flags was so great here yesterday that the supply gave out. Most of the coffins con- taining American vietims of the Lusitania disaster 'were draped with the United States colors. All the cofs fins, including those bearing the Am- erican banner, bore the Union Jack. More than 500 passengers and sailors on the Lusitania are believed to have been killed or injured so badly that they were rendered help- less by the explosion which followed the impact of the second German torpedo against the liner.

PLEDGED THEIR MONEY, More About German War Loan And New York Lite, Journal- of Commerce, Montreal. The details which have been af- forded in regard to the recent Ger- man loan are interesting. Thus,ac- cording to the Frankfurter Zeitung, the subseriptions to the second war {loan were distributed as follows {among the various credit establish- | ments iw | Million Marks. } Reichbank and branches . . | Banks and bankers | Public savings banks | Life assurance companies | 384 | Co-operative credit companies. . . | 439 Post service Total .. aa We 0,000 The interesting point, says the Policy-Holder of Manchester, is that the life offices pledged 384 million marks of the policyholders' money iu this loan, which in this country, we believe, will soon be a good many points below par. The New York Life Office took up 2,000,000 marks. Has this office taken up any part of the British war loan? As the annual premiums collected in the British Isles amount to over £300,000 we are entitled to ask the question--if not, why not? The offi- clals of the Company say, of course, that this German loan in no way af- fects the British branch of the eom- jany, but we cannot agree to that. he company 1s supposed to be a putual coneern, and every branch is supposed to be a source of strength to the others. Anyhow, there are plenty of better offices than the New York Life. i ------ PREMIER AWAY FOR REST Denied There Would Be No Elect- fon Until War Over.
