TUBULAR PIPES. 133 



cerned, have hardly been improved upon by the still later productions of 



civilized nations. 



We have spoken of these tubular smoking-pipes from Santa Barbara 



as peculiar to that locality, but in so doing the intention was to assert their 



being the only form from that locality, and not that the same form did not 



occur elsewhere, as in the interior and in the Atlantic coast States. With 



one exception, these Dos Pueblos pipes are straight, L e., with the bowl and 



stem in line, and not at an angle, and such straight or tubular pipes have 



also been occasionally in use elsewhere. Some, if not all, of the shorter 



stone tubes found in the Eastern States were smoking-pipes, and tubes of 



clay, stone, and copper, found in mounds in Ohio by Professor Andrews, 



approach in many respects the Santa Barbara pipes, although they have 



some important differences. The curator of the museum, in commenting 



on these specimens from Ohio, remarks:* 



" These tubes of stone, clay, and copper described by Prof. Andrews approach so 

 near to the long tube-like pipes made of stone and still used by the Utes, that I can- 

 hardly refrain from classing them with pipes. The principal difference consists in these 

 tubes having what would be the mouth-piece made by the termination of the pipe itself, 

 while in the stone tubes that are unquestionable pipes the mouth-piece is probably 

 made by inserting a hollow reed or a bone. These tube-like pipes have been found in 

 number in the old burial places of California, and there has recently been one received 

 at the Museum, which was collected in Massachusetts. Dr. Abbott has also found 

 fragments of similar pipes in Kew Jersey. In Squier and Davis' 'Ancient Monuments 

 of the Mississippi Valley,' several of these stone tubes are described, one of them iden- 

 tical with one collected by Prof. Andrews, and the authors of that work suggest that 

 these tubes may be pipes." 



Those found in New Jersey b) r the writerf are of stone and of clay ; 



and while the one of stone (6£ inches long, with a circular, uniform, and 



direct hole drilled through) is exteriorly much the same as a California 



pipe, there is not that variation in the diameter of the perforation to which 



and the mouth of the, pipe was then enlarged by seraj)ing parallel with the longer axis. As a mouth- 

 piece, which protrudes about an inch, a piece of a wing or leg bone of some bird was inserted and tightly 

 secured with aaphaltum. The pipe was usually made of steatite, and is sometimes neatly finished. 

 Among the Klarnaths of the present day a pipe of a like form is smoked ; and it amused me to see them 

 bending back their heads to bring the pipe in a vertical position so as not to lose any tobacco (which I 

 found a sickening narcotic, they smoke still the native tobacco, Nicotiana attenuate) while taking along 

 draught which was inhaled to longer enjoy the short opportunity, as the pipe must be passed on."
