Ripley lived in a world of strangeness most of his life . He was surrounded by shrunken heads, religious treasures and mummy cases, priceless objects he collected himself. Before Ripley's death several year ago, he purchased a castle in the state of Florida at St. Augustine. The castle was two stories high and had approximately forty rooms. This, thought Ripley, would be a perfect place to exhibit his oddities. Ripley drew giant-size enlargements of his cartoons on every wall of the building then, he placed in his collection, the un- orthodox, the unusual, the exotic, the queer, the ugly, and the beautiful things of this earth. His relics ranged from a necklace of seaweed and polar bear fur to a handkerchief Mrs. Abraham Lincoln carried to her husband's inauguration as President of the United States. In the lobby of the museum Ripley has placed a huge totem pole from the Haidak tribe of the Alaskan Indians. It stands ten feet high and is over three feet wide . It is the only one ever seen in the U .S .A. A tour of the museum produces mixed emotions. One minute you laugh, next you shudder and then you lust wonder. Each room creates a different atmosphere. One is religious and has in it a scale model of the famous Italian Cathedral Midano, which took a man nearly seven years to build . This room also has shrunken heads, one of which was presented to him by the Jivaro Indians in Equador. Mr. Ripley witnessed the ceremony and was given the head as a memento of the occasion . The museum has a beautiful Chinese room showing a Nori-Mari in which royal women and children were carried by servants . He has a room for war relics of senturies ago, and another for displaying devices used For torturing people in Colonial days. Two Chinese immortals titled Halt All Evil and Chase All Evil which once stood at the gates of a Buddhist Temple in China, now stand at the gates of Ripley's and supply you with the first thoughtof the wonder which is filling the four walls of Ripley's AUTUMN IN THE NORTHLAND Autumn, swiftly mantling the northem lands, brings its share of despair and beauty to the wildemess. Believe it or Not Museum. The loon, softly gliding across the cool lakes cries out to wish the summer and plentiful things an echoing farewell. Wolves, looking upon autumn's glow with their yellow, glinting eyes, know that behind the splendour of the wild country's cloak lies the spirit of the frost, the evil god who brings the driving snow, the frozen waters and the hungry animal forms. But now, with autumn's young and dancing body, the onlooker perceives only the ioy of life. He does not see the lean times ahead, he sees only the gleaming dress of the maples, and the dark green balsarns with their fun'y tips. The eye sees the yellow loveliness of the birch and the rippling of the waters. The senses feel only the brisk laughing winds brushing past on their way to oareen through the trees. Noses smell only the tingling scent of fresh pine, the soft aroma of warm earth in the forest. Man's ears hear the cry of the loon, and the warble of gossiping birds and the soft lapping of the waves on the rocks . But what the eyes do not see are the worried looks on the lupine faces. They do not see the frantic struggle for winter resources which goes on about them. The senses may feel, but do not comprehend the meaning of the winds which every day become colder and more brutal. Unlike animals, man cannot smell cn oncoming rain, or perhaps a future storm . One hears but does not interpret the loon's hysterical wailing. Autumn in the northland is beautiful, but perhaps it is a cruel beauty. lt is nature's last fling until winter approaches - a mocking but gorgeous work of unsurpassed art. 65
