An Indians Gratitude

Col. Brceden. late Attorney General
of New Mexico. was once retained to
defend Mexican and Navajo Indian
charged with the murder Of . soldier
on q street in Santa Fe one night
Two Mexican women testified that
they witnessed the murder and thought
they could identity the prisoners -
the persons who committed 1t. But
other evidence favored the accused and
the court and jury thought the womsn
were mistaken. Some time after the
acquittal the Navajo turned up. In the
seventh heaven Of intoxication, and
sought out Breeden. In his expansive
gratitude he told the attorney that
although moneyless. IS usual. be
wanted to perform some great service
in part payment of the debt he owed
him for securing his acquittal.
Come to my house. I" said the attor-
ney. 'and try your hand on my gar
den."
But" said the Navajo, give me
something harder than that to do
some great thing for brave. Don't

do I'll serve him as We did the

Beetles and a Snake.

A resident of Nyack. N. Y, contr,-
butes this bit of natural history to a
contemporary: Il was crossing a
field, when my attention was attracted
by a snake rolling over aud over. The
snake was about three feet long and
appeared to be propelled by some
power couldn't see. knew it was
dead from the way il moved. and on
looking closer saw that two big beetles
were supplying the motive power.
They were behind the snake. and by
burrowing under it at either end acted
as rollers to send the snake ahead. ]
saw them move it over ten feet. I
spent most of the day in watching.
They propelled it twenty feet farther
and then stopped. One of them went
away and soon came back with at
least 100 beetles. This little army set
to work and actually dug hole in the
ground about five inches in diameter
and half foot deep. 1t took them
half day to do this, and just about
dark they appeared to be satisfied with
their task. and the whole army set
about dumping his snakeship into the
hole, which they did by coiling up its
body so that 1t fitted into the space
nicely. Then they covered it up and
disappeared in the thicket."

IsIT GREATER THAN NIAcARA7
Mr.. Bryant Going to Labrador to EK-
piore the Big Cataract.

The mystery which has always hung
over the Grand falls, in the interior Of
Labrador. is to be cleared away at last.
and in a few months the scientific
world will know whether the falls in
Grand or Hamilton river are the great
est in the world or whether the previ-
GUS accounts have been greatly exag-
gerated. Henry G. Bryant a member
of the Philadelphia bar, accompanied
by Prof. Keuiston of Georgetown uni
versity. is now on his way to visit the
falls.
Only two white men have ever seen
the falls, SO far as is known. and they
both place the height at 1000 feet.
Both OF the men stood high in the SER
vice of the Hudson Bay company. aud
though they saw the fails at different
times their accounts agree in nearly
every particular. Maclean, the first to
reach the scene. conducted an expedi-
ton into the interior in 1889 and was
stopped by these falls. Kennedy
reached them under guidance of an
Iroquois Indian who had spent most
of his life in Labrador. The native In
diaus give the falls wide berth, ow-
ing to a tradition long current among
them that they are haunted by evil
spirits and that no man can look upon
them and live.
Above the falls the river is said to be
500 yards broad, contracting to SO
yards at the falls themselves. II this
account be true, then in the whole
world there is no other fall having
such a volume of water descending ut
bound from such stupendous height.
Niagara's volume of water is far
greater, but its height is only 164 feet.
The famous falls of Zambesi are but
100 feet. In the Yosemite valley there
is fall OF 2. $50 feet. but this is broken
into three leaps. and the volume of
water is not equal to that OF the Grand
falls of Labrador. Thus, taking into
account the combination of height and
volume. these Grand falls Of Labrador
throw all others into the shade. A
fall OF 2. 600 feet has generally been re-
garded as utterly inconceivable. how
ever, and various efforts have been
made to verify the reports Of Maclesn
aud Kennedy.
Mr.. Bryant has carefully studied the
situation and has made his prepara-
tions with so much care that his success
is regarded as assured. Besides him
self and Prof. Remission Mr.. Bryant
hopes to take about eight Indians and
a white man for guide, il he can get
one. The journey up the river will be
made in canoes, which must be carried
around the many rapids and falls.
