PENoescoT THEOLOGY.
Indians Believe That God Had an Advls

Indians Believe That God Had an Adviser
At the Creation.
In the beginning God made Adam
out of the earth but he did not mako
Glus-kabe (the Indian God). says Nbbc
L. Algor in the Regular Science
Monthly. Glus-zabe made himself out
OF the dirt that was kicked up in the
creation of Adam. He rose and walked
about, but he could not speak until the
Lord opened his lips.
God made the earth and the sea. and
then He took counsel with Glus-lzabe
concerning them. He asked him if it
would be better to have the rivers run
up on one side of the earth and down
on the other, but Glus-kabe said: mo,
they ,Inust all run down one way"
Then the Lord asked him about the
ocean, whether it would not do TO have
it always lie still. Glus-l1abe told Him:
mo! 1t must rise and fall, or else it
would grow thick and stagnant"
''How about fre?" asked the Lord;
''can it burn all the time and nobody
put it out?"
Glus-lzabe said: ':That would not
do, for if anybody got burned and fire
could not be pnt out, they would die;
but if it could be put out then the
burn would get WE'LL
So he answered all the Lords oues-

sTALAcTI1E CAVES lN uTAH.
Two Wonderful Underground Chambers
Studded with Myriads of Gems.

Two Wonderful Underground Chambers
Studded with Myriatls of Gems.
Two OF the most wonderful stalac-
tite caves in the world are located
within the territory of Utah-one five
miles south of To4uerville and the other
twenty-five miles west of ST. George.
Neither is remarkable on account of its
size, and, according to the st. Louis
Republic, the dignifying title of cav
crn'' has never been bestowed upon
either of the two. They simply cc1ne
within the category of the wonderful
because of the immense number of
stalactites of various sizes and colors
which, depend from their roofs. The
first, the one near Toquerville. is
known as ssLa Virgin and the other by
the name of the BLACK Warrior - The
Virgin was discovered few years ago
by the contractor of an irrigating COM
pany, who was engaged in driving a
tunnel through a mountain called La
Virgin Bench for the purpose of tap
ping the river beyond. When the
light was first let into this wonder
full underground chamber the effect is
said to have been startling, the roof
and floor glittering with cubes and
points of crystal alum and the roof
studded with millions of rain-co1ored
stalactites.
The Black Warrior cave is a counter
part of the Virgin and was discovered
