Ancient Pipes. 



Andrew J. Bigney. 



The customs of ancient peoples are always interesting and inslructive. 

 Several pipes of rare occurrence have come into the possession of the 

 museum of Moores Hill College. Some brief notes are here presented. 



No. I is a very large pipe measuring nine inches long and the bowl 

 end four inches, and 2^ inches in width. It is made of soapstone. Its 

 place of occurrence is not known. 



No. II is a pipe of the mound builders. The place where it was found 

 is not known. 



No. Ill is an unfinished mound builder's pipe. This is particularly 

 interesting because it is unfinished. 



No. IV is a very old pipe showing the rude drawings on it of some 

 pi'ehistoric people. 



No. \^ is probably a more recent pipe. It no doubt was used by the 

 early Indians.
