bureau of tho Smithsonian institution at
Washington, accompanied by six chiefs of
tho agricultural and pastoral tribe of
Pueblo Indians, located in Western New
Mexico is en- route to Washington
and Boston, by way Of Chicago. The
object of the trip is to enable the Zuuis,
who have civilization similar to that Of
the ancient Toltcc and Aztec peoples, to
perform a religious ceremony which
can only be performed at the
ocean. The ceremony in its mi
nutest details, las been handed down from
the past by tradition, but so old is it that
not even their traditions say when it was
last performed. 1t is an interesting scien-
tific problem, therefore, when these
people were on the shore Of the ocean and
at what point. The ceremony will prob.
ably be performed at Plymouth Rock.
MIR. Gushing has been adopted by the
highest religious order and will take part
in this ceremony. The Zunis are an agri-
cultural people and have reached the
highest success in that industry, as we'll

JACK RABBITS. We knew there
was an vocational jack rabbit to be
seen in this section of country but
had no idea they were as plentiful
as the following incident would
seem to indicate, but coming as it
does from good authority we believe
it. Last Saturday after the big
fire on the bottom had passed it
was noticed that a patch of an acre
or so of tall grass had been left un-
burned on the bottom down in the
vicinity of Pat Cary's farm. And SO
Mr.. Cary and a friend who owns q
fine greyhound, rode out and sent
the dog in in search Of small game.
He soon uncovered jack-rabbit
which he tossed over his shoulder af.
ter skip of4O rods over the burnt
sward. The dog returned and went
in again and again with the same
result until he had nipped into the
air eight rabbits Of the genus jack. II
was a highly amusing spectacle to
those looking on.
