these boulders Incident to this work are ten and fifteen 
feet deep and cover many acres* From the tools that have 
been found, from later information with regard to arrow 
making and from the John white records of clothing worn 
by these Indians, a group has been constructed that the 
V 
scientists regard as showing the industry as it actually 
existed for centuries where are now being erected the 
homes of the residents of the Capital city.'*

"When Dr, Holmes came to make up a family group 
of Eskimo he determined to do what he could toward over¬ 
coming the idea that is thoroughly implanted in the pub¬ 
lic mind that these people of the north are morose and 
melancholy, The Eskimo, as a matter of fact, is a merry 
individual, ever ready to laugh. The Eskimo group in the 
museum shows a young man of the tribe who has been fish¬ 
ing through a hole in the ice and who has caught a small 
seal. In his enthusiasm he dispatched a runner for a 
sled to haul home his prisj©, and the dog sled is brought 
forth and the family comes along to view the catch, when 
they arrive the seal is so small that they all lau^h 
heartily at the young fisherman for ordering the sled in¬ 
stead of carrying the seal home on his back. The sculptor 
has caught most exactly the facial expression of the dif¬ 
ferent members of the party."
