Pipes. A tube in which tobacco was

others had a bowl at a right angle to the 

 stem, and in certain instances the angle 

 was acute; some pipes had two or more 

 bowls or stems. In North America the 

 shape of pipes varied according to local-

ity; some were of a single piece, others 

 had detachable stems. The pipe most 

 widely distributed was a straight tube, 

 usually plain on the outside, Tiut occa- 

 sionally elaborately ornamented. The 

 rudest \npes ^_„_-,. 



of this type 

 were made 

 from the leg- 

 bone of a deer 

 or other animal, and were often reenforced 

 with a piece of rawhide, which, wrapped

venting the bone 

 from splitting. 

 The tubular 

 stone pipe had 

 one end enlarg- 

 ed to hold the tobacco, the stem being 

 inserted in the opposite end. Pipes of 

 this form had necessarily to be smoked 

 by throwing 

 back the head, 

 a position 

 which had a 

 tendency to 

 cause the to- 

 bacco to be drawn into the mouth, to 

 prevent which, in some localities, a small 

 pellet of pottery was often inserted in 

 the bowl. The 

 cloud-blower of 

 the Pueblos is a 

 straight tubular 

 pipe, varying from 

 a few inches to a 

 foot in length. 

 Those of small size are usually made of 

 clay in the same manner as pottery. 

 Large cloud-blowers are usually made 

 of stone, 

 and do not 

 differ in 

 form, dec- 

 oration, or 

 use from 

 those of 

 clay. This form of pipe is used solely for 

 ceremonial purposes, the smoke being 

 blown to the cardinal directions by medi- 

 cine-men.

used for 

 inhaling smoke for medicinal purposes 

 prior to the Christian era, in Europe, there 

 is little doubt that the tobacco pipe, now 

 common over the world, is of American 

 origin. Pipes were made of pottery, 

 wood, bone, metal, or stone, or a com- 

 bination of two or more of these mate-
