edge OF how 10 construct the sacred orifice

none of them have been made In the pres

among she members of kiva and II their
differences are too serious for adjustment

ture OF their own or are absorbed into one
already constructed. Sometimes II hap
pens that the membership of a kiva in

for them. In that case new kiva viii be
erected by the chief priest of the order.
Such increase is of rare occurrence. but
II is common TO hear laments of the de-
cadence Of membership. In one kiva there
are now hut four members. and the CHIEF
has grave fears that a stove and pipe
which the agent gave him. and which he
set up in the room. is an evil thing, ana
has driven away his members.

Practically all the Indian tribes have
buildings or structures different from their
ordinary dwellings, III which religious rites
and ceremonies are conducted, but among
the Pueblo tribes of New Mexico and Ari-
Zona this practice reaches it's highest de-
velopment in the peculiar Underground
chambers which the old Spanish conquista-
dores of the sixteenth century called es-
tEffas, or stoves, and which we now term
kivas-which is a term of the MokI indians
of northeastern Arizona, the present inhab-
itants OF the ancient province Of Tvsayan.
These chambers are found among all
the Pueblo tribes, sometimes standing out
In the open, sometimes concealed in the
houses. and they are found as well in the
ancient ruins and in the cliff dwellings.
Among the latter and In few of the mod
ern villages, they are circular in FORM
twelve to twenty feet in diameter, and
usually have an interior belch about a
1907 wide around the wnoie or part OF the
circumference. The conservatism which
characterizes the human mind in matters
OF religion is illustrated by these circular
rooms, for it is evident that they are a
survival from an early day, when the peo-

the rectangular system OF architecture in
their stone-buiit houses and villages many
centuries before we knew anything of them.
the kiNas or churches retained the ancient
circular form, despite the fact that the
retention Of a circular charlDer in a Gins

propems which pushed the skill of the
fceolo architect to the utmost.
Built ON n Summit.
In the Moki country natural conditions
brought about a change which convenience
failed to accomplish elsewhere. The VIII
lagos are all built on the SUBMITS of rocky
mesas, swept clean and bare by the winds
and as the prime requirement for such a
structure was that it should be entirely or
parity underground, the Mo,sis were COM
peiied to utilize natural cracks and assures
IN the mesa top. and SO the rooms were
necessarily rectangular. 4 similar change
was brought about in the pueblo of Zuni
by the repressive policy of the Old Spanish
monks, who for two centuries or more
maintained g. mission there. These Jealous
missionaries prohibited the performance OF
the ancient :ites and ceremonies and there
by forced the native priests to conduct
them In secret. From this it came about
that the kfvas were Incorporated in the
house structures, and even today are diff
cult to distinguish.
In the great Instruction of 1880 when the
Pueblo tribes rose in revolt against the rule
Of the Spaniards, the Mokis killed all the
missionaries then among them-there were
said to be five at that time-and since that
day-more than two centuries ago-this

Their kivas are all detached from the
houses, standing out In the open, and the
old rites are performed without any at
tempt at concealment, save In those par
tculars which are too sacred for the COM
mon eye. The latter Invariably take place
in the kivas themselves. to which admit
lance Is regulated by well-estabI.shed rules.
In the seven villages of the Mokis there
are no less than thirty-one kivas, each one
pertaining to some certain religious order
vidual in 1t. These chambers. which are
always rectangular, will average about
twenty-five by twelve feet in size, and be-
tween seven and eight feet in height. Some
are wholly underground, the roof being
flush with the ground level: others are only
partly excavated, and the side walls stand
up above the surface three or four feet;
and some are flush on one side and built up
on the other, as irregularity in the site may
dictate.
But One Entrance.
It is an invariable rule that there shall
be no entrance to these chambers other
than a trap door or hole in the roof, through
which q ladder descends to the floor. I'm
mediately under this trap door the fireplace
Is located. as the smoke must necessarily
find exit through 1t. No other opening OF
any character is constructed In the walls.
and absolute privacy Is easily obtained by
posting q man outside as a sentry. Some
times when the roof of the structure is
above the ground level q short flight OF
stone steps leads up to 1t. This Is a great
convenience for the entrance OF masked
