consumption and death, and yet he negleets

SUPERSTlTlOUS ALNOS.
"A New Debt Which the World Owes to As
Economical Sources,

The most valuable contribution to
psychological studies made of late
comes from the delegation of astrono-
mers who took their station in Japan
during the recent eclipse, The Amos,
who mIlablt the large part of thenorth-
ern island of the group are a very
primitive race, most probably of the
same stocks as Eskimo, and as such are
relies of the old ''cavc dwellers."
When the eclipse came on these Amos
cried out that the sun was fainting and
dying. Then they rushed away to
bring water, which they threw toward
the sun, cXclaiming: 90 God, we re-
vlve thee! o God! we revive thce"'
Some sqnirted it upward with their
mouths, others threw with their hands.
A group of women and children sat
down with their heads between their
knees, as if expecting some calamity.
Their tradition in regard to c~cIipses
says: "When my father was a child,
said he heard his old grandfather
say that his grandfather saw Il total
eclipse of the sun. The earth became
quite dark and shadows could not be
seen. The birds went TO roost and the
dogs howled. The black, dead sun
out tongues Of fire and lightning
from its sides and the stars sbono
brightly. Then the sun began to re-
urn TO life an the faces of the people
wore the aspect of death. As the sun
gradually came to life these men began
o live again. This whole account
illustrates the entire lack of power in
primitive races to understand the phc-
of the universe except as the
work of personal beings. Every thing
referred to a God, who was only A
.ugc man, or more or less manlike.-
