CAUSE OF THE GREAT STORM.
The Tipping Up of the Earth Caused
the Deluge Which Engulfed the
World—The Mysterious Ark and the
Escape of the Chosen Few.
To this day the great deluge recorded
in the Bible is a mystery to the North
* American Indian. He will not be led
to believe that the flood was brought
about by the sins of man. He is
equally unwilling to believe that it was
the work of an angry God, as he could
not see how the Almighty should be so
unjust as to punish the Indians of
America for the naughty things of a
race of people across the ocean. An-
other reason which makes it still more
difficult for the Indian to believe that
the flood was a punishment to the
world is the fact that with him there
is no sin. In his language there is no
such word, nor does he expect to be
punished for any of his acts.
But though there is no equivalent to
the word sin in the Indian language
have been taught the philosophy of
life and its laws directly by disem-
bodied spirits or by ethereal beings
from other taught that as
man lives here so is his life hereafter.
If he is quarrelsome or warlike here,
#0 he wili be in the more spiritual life.
If he is serene and contented here, so
he will be there, etc.
The deluge, as described by the few
who were miraculously saved, was the
more grandly terrible in that it came
on suddenly. From the highlands oc-
the Indians they saw the
the sea sweep in upon the
recede, only to advance with
immensely increased volume and stu-
huge breakers. Then there
came a terrific storm that seemed to
blow from all and in all directions.
The storm caused huge waterspouts
which appeared over the wild ocean
|
tain which alone remained uncovered
by the flood is called Avee-heilah
(Mountain of the Moon), yet today it is
not a very high mountain.
For awhile before the mountains be-
came submerged there was a great
calm, and a dense fog covered the
earth. Then suddenly a mighty boat
appeared to the awed view of the In-
dians. It approached and stopped at
the several mountains still uncovered
by the waters, and at each point where
it touched, as if guided by invisible in.
telligence, the Indians, as if vbeying
an unspoken but potent command, en
tered the boat.
The boat rested first at a place called
Avee-qua-lul (mountain peak), now Pi-
lot Knob, on the border of Mexico.
There was a mesa on the top of this
mountain, though at this day it does
not exist, and on this mesa the Indians
first celebrated their delivery. This
they did by playing sacred games.
chanting sacred songs, etc. On rocks
at the foot of this peak there are hiero-
giyphics in an unknown language,
which some of the indians believe were
made by those who survived the flood.
Petrified driftwood is still to be seen
two-thirds the distance up the sides of
Avee-heilah, which drift, the Indians
say, was deposited by the waves of the
great flood.
The Indians, having rested for a time
on the mountain peak, again entered
the boat and were carried eastward,
eventually to a small valley. Here
they again rested, and then, leaving
the boat, they wandered from one place
to another, after a time returning to
the valley. To their surprise, the boat
was gone. It could not have floated
away, for the land was dry whereon
they had left it, the flood having sub-
sided after a great calm of its waters.
The boat could not have crumbled to
pleces, for there had not been time for
its decay. They could only conclude
that the mysterious boat, having ful-
filled its mission of preserving a few
of their race, had disappeared as mi-
raculously as it had appeared.
The spot where the mysterious boat,
or ark, had rested was marked by the
Indians placing there a huge log. They
called the place Qual-jo-para (boat's
resting place). This spot is held sacred
by the Indians, who will seldom point
it out to strangers. Not many hundred
years ago, it is said, some Indian war- |
1
riors were passing the spot, and one of |
them to show his skepticism shot an
arrow into the side of the great log.
Immediately a stream of blood gushed
from the spot pierced, and the skeptic
fell dead. The story of the event was
carried to all the near tribes, and since
then Indians passing the place fear to
even look leisurely at the log.
A reason given by the Indians as the
probable cause of the flood was that
there was a tribe of Indians who. like
Columbus, believed that the earth was
not flat, but round, and to prove wheth-
er this theory were true thousands
from the different tribes banded togeth-
er and started out on a journey to find
the edge of the earth if it was flat.
rhe flood occurred soon after the In-
dians started on this journey, so that
they really believed that those adven-
turers had reached the edge of the
earth and their weight had tipped the
earth to such an extent as to cause the
water to rush in on the land.—Los An-
geles Times.
A TENDERFOOT’S REVENGE.
Bully of New Mexico Town Had the
Tables Turned on Him.
The average tenderfoot is not a cow-
ard. He simply lacks ranch experi-
ence. An illustration of this fact oc-

rode up to the hotel on a broncho,

his eyes clear and penetrating. “I owe
a fellow a debt which I believe I will
pay right now,” the stranger said.
No sooner had he made the remark
than he walked off in the direction of
Sandy, who had his gun in his right
hand and was firing it into the air
every few steps. The stranger ap-
proached Sandy, pulled his gun and
unceremoniously dragged the bully up
to the saloon and leC him in that fash-
fon up to the bar. “Get me a pan of
water and set it upon the floor,” he
said to the barkeeper.
The order was complied with, Sandy
standing there meekly, wondering what
was going to happen to him. “Now,
get down on the floor and drink water
out of that pan like a dog,” the former
tenderfoot ordered. Sandy at first re-

The buran, or snow hurricace of the
Pamirs, is a meteorological phenome
non of great interest. Even in mid
summer the temperature during a
snow buran frequently falls to 14 de
grees F., while in one winter it dropped
to 45 degrees below zero at the end of
January. The buran comes with star
