Primitive Eskimo Races Greatest of Toy Makers While toys apparently are common to the human rsct In all climes and all sees. It Is among the Eskimos and the nomad peoples of northern Siberia that the greatest profusion of plsy-thinIs found associated with primitive peoples, according to the Smithsonian Institution. One of the Institution's choicest toy collections is from the desolate St Lawrence Island In Bering sea, from the lowest habitation level supposedly occupied by early migrants of the Eskimo race from Asia. Even In this ts antiquity there are plenty of playthingsminiature sleds, kayaks, harpoon heads, etc.. Illustrative of the activities of the elders. With the success! re habitation layers the profusion of toys Increases and delicately carved Ivory replaces wood. There are greet numbers of Ivory dogs, bears, foxes, and especially, different varieties of swimming birds. Numerous human figures also are found.

The ampere Is named for A. M. Ampere, a French electrician; the ohm for the German, O. S. Ohm; the volt for Alesaandro Volta; while the others take their names from Charles A de Coulomb, Michael Faraday, James P. Joule and James Watt The ohm is a unit of resistance; It represents the resistance offered to an uuvarylng current by a column of mercury at the temperature of ice, 14.5421 grams In mass, of a area of 1.000U3 square millimeters and of the length of 10&3 centimeters. The ampere Is a unit of current An ampere decomposes jOiO0324 of a gram of water In one second, or deposits silver st the rate of .001118 of a gram a second when passed through a solution of nitrate of silver in water. The volt Is a unit of electromotive force. One volt equals one ampere of current passing through a substance hsvlng one ohm of resistance. The coulomb Is the unit of quantity ; the amount of electricity transferred by a current of ons ampere in one second. The farad Is a unit of capacity; the capacity of a condenser charged to a potential of one volt by one coulomb. The Joule Is a unit of work. It is equivalent to the energy expended In one second by one ampere current in one ohm resistance. The watt Is the unit of power. It Is equivalent to work done at the rate of one Joule per second.

This location was "witnessed" by trees which were blazed and marked with their distance and bearing with reference to the corner recorded In the surveyor's notes. With the passage of years, the square stakes have disappeared, but in spite of lumbering and forest fires, many witness trees still csn be found.
