LIFE AMONG THE ESQUIMOS
| It SEEMS odd to think of Esquimos jumping the rope, but this is one of their forms of amusement. As you see, it is not the children alone that enjoy it. Below is shown the inside of an Esquimo hut. Isn't that a queer doorway? Perhaps this man is coming home to a meal. What do you think about it? In summer these huts melt and are replaced by others of earth and hides, like those in the next illustration. |  |
in building these huts a circle is first traced, then slabs of packed snow are laid around this circle and a house is built in the shape of half a globe—something like the sugar bowl but of the children that live in the "Zoo."
Summer camp of a very interesting tribe of Esquimos living in North Greenland.
