ESKIMOS REUNITED TO WORLD.
Those of Greenland's East Coast Again
in Tsncn with Civilization.
The Eskimos of the east coast of
Greenland hare been reunited to the
m orld, after having forgotten, perhaps
for many years, the little they ever
know of it, says th9 Philadelphia Pub
lic Ledger. The Danish supply steam
ship Godthaab has returned to Copen
hagen from a visit to Angmagsalik, a
station established by the government
for the purpose of improving the con
dition of the Greenland natives and
developing a trade with them. It Is an
Interesting enterprise, because Den
mark's dealings with aboriginals are
humanizing and philanthropic, and the
material it had to deal with here was
In its natural condition.
As far as is known, the natives of
Greenland's east ceast had never come
Into contact with the white race until
twenty years ago, when they were dis
covered by Capt Holm, a Danish ex
plorer. It was six years later before
anything store than fragmentary infor
mation about them was given out, and
then Denmark published a sumptuous
work in three volumes devoted to the
people and their habitat Probably no
other book so exhaustive and costly
has orer been printed about a handful
of primitive people. They numbered
only MS when they were discovered.
The supply steamship reports at
Copenhagen that the East Greenland
station Is In thriving condition. It has
simply transformed the life of the na
tives. They have knives, timber, metal
points for their harpoons and a hun
dred comforts and conveniences they
never knew before. The Danish gov
ernment buys their oils, furs, skins
and feathers. The station takes every
thing they have to sell In exchange for
the commodities they require.
A way has been found around the
glaciers jutting out into the sea which
se long barred attempts to travel
around the south end of Greenland. A
few parties have made sledge jour
neys to the Eskimo settlements of the
west coast, and seme of them have set
tled there. They have never beard of
spirituous liquors.
They are pure-blood Eskimos,' the
only unmixed natives in Greenland, ex
cepting In the Smith sound region; but
their features are thinner and longer
than those of other Eskimos, and they
a HttlA Ta11i than thn At tho
west coast They have the dimmest
tradition that their fathers came from
the north, and considerable evidence
has accumulated pointing to the prob
ability that they are the descendants
of natives who reached northwest
Greenland from the archipelago north
of our continent and then 6klrted the
, north and east coasts of Greenland to
their present abode.

There are not many inventions of
foreigners patented, at the United
States Patent Office, but occasionally
a good one, generally out of the or
dinary, is sent there and a patent ap
plied for. In the illustration below
will be found an appartus, the inven

several good features. It Is called a

is so constructed that by placing it
under a fire the latter can be auto-

time. Its uses are varied, net only for
domestic, but for manufacturing pur
poses as well. The clock Is set similar
to setting an alarm clock, with an at
tachment for regulating and project
ing a trigger at the time determined.
A match is Inserted In a slot designed
for that purpose, and when the right
moment has arrived the trigger is re
leased, which projects a bolt in eon
tact with the match. The surface of
the bolt Is rough, so that the friction
which is caused by coming In contact
with the head of the match ignites the
latter.

Victoria, Australia, is the patentee.
Delivery Chute.
Many of the numerous Inventions
patented contain novelties more theo
retical than practical, and for this rea
son never get on the market The
ideas are generally good, but when it
comes to putting them in use it Is
often impossible to do so. A delivery
chute, which is exceedingly novel, in
Its features. Is shown in the illustra
tion, and it is a device that could read
ily be used fox a groat many purposes.
It is a common sight to see several
men- delivering barrels and storing
them in the cellar of a building, the
usual method being to allow the barrel
to gradually slip down a pair of ropes.
BEQUXATES SPEED OF THE BABREL.
Of course, the barrel could not be al
lowed to roll down the steps or chute,
for the " velocity attained would be
sure to cause damage or possible in
jury to anybody that happened to be
in the way This seems to be a cum
bersome method in comparison to the
one . shown here. This inclined chute
is . constructed similar to ordinary
chutes, with side extensions to guide
the course of the barrel or package.
AN AUTUMN NIGHT SCENE.
Vivid Word Picture of a Clear Night
in the Focono Mountains
Wonderfully clear and distinct the
myriad s tiers appeared. South of the
zenith a planet blazed.' Like a broad
band overhead stretched the milky
way with familiar constellations on
each side. Almost in the center was
Casseopia's chair. Near by gleamed
Andromeda and the stars of Perseus.
Just above the northern horizon lay
the big dipper, and In the east Alde
baran was rising, with the stars in
the belt of Orion twinkling near. A
faint streak which lasted but an In
stant showed where a meteor's career
had been burned to dust There was
no moon to dim the light of the lesser
stars, and everywhere around the
brighter ones they, crowded, leaving
no spot of this rare autumn sky with
out its sparkling points of light
Out of a dusty corner of memory
came a thought which youthful fancy
had conceived; that the stars were tiny
holes in heaven, used by the angels to
peep through to see if people were
good or bad, and the light of the stars
was the glory of the . (Treat white
throne shining through the peepholes.
- To senses steeped in the quiet of
this brooding scene came like a shock
the realization that in the north, close
to the summit of a dimly outlined
mountain spur, a faint phosphorescent
light was glowing in the sky. A long
pale finger , crept silently , upward to

On one side the extension is divided
into suitable sections, each section
controlled by a brake operated by
means of a lever placed opposite the
entrance of the chute. By operating
the lever the lower end of the exten
sion is pulled across the surface of the
chute toward the opposite side. When
the barrel has been started on Its jour
ney down the chute it naturally gains
momentum, but by application of the
brake of the first section its speed is
diminished, or it can be stopped en

tion the necessary brake Is applied, so
that it can be brought gradually to a
standstill at the bottom.

duty. Just think, how often a fire
man Is called upon to enter a build
ing full of dense smoke, to rescue
some person who has already been
overcome, and the wonder Is that he
is not supplied with some protection
for his own life. There does not seem
to- be any reason why he should not

the one shown In the illustration. He
could then with absolute safety to
himself enter any burning building,
with an added chance, of saving any
lives that might be endangered. The
upper portion is made In the form of
a hoed or mask of air-tight and fire
proof fabric, to be placed over the
head of the wearer, with glass clos
ures for openings for the eyes. There
is also a dtp opposite the month, which
closes against air from without but
opens fer the discharge of exhaled air
which has been breathed. Reservoirs
which contain compressed air or oxy.
sen for sustaining life are attached
to. the back of the wearer by straps,
and connected by a tube to the back of
the hood, with valves for regulating
the supply. The compressed air can
thus be readily supplied from the res
ervoirs to the interior of the hood, to
be breathed by the wearer. After en-
tering a building filled with smoke
fireman using this apparatus could re
main for some time, while his hands
and arms would be free.

the quivering needle of the compass.
