Ancient Pipes. 



Andrew J. Bigney. 



The customs of ancient peoples are always interesting and instructive. 

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

 museum of Moores Hill College. Some brief notes are here pi'esented. 



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

 tnd four inches, and 2A 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 

 l)rehistoric people. 



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

 early Indians.
