crop good. The dance ended by the priests
and members of the order grasping the
snakes and running with them to the four
points of the compass from where they
were captured. They are then released,
and the snake dance is over"
Prof. Fewkes saw the ceremonies also
at the town of Mishonovi which is about
seven miles from Walpi. These ceremonies
We're more contracted than those of the
latter place.
Prof Fewkes told a Star reporter of the
manner In which he was initiated into the
order of Antelope. Having signifed his
| intention of becoming a member and his
application having been accepted he chose
an older member as godfather. The next
proceeding was to take a handful of sa-
cred meal, prepared by a certain person
of the tribe, when prayers were said.
The next step Is to go down into the kva,
and put it in the hand of the chosen man.
The meal is taken from a basket on the
altar and sprlnkled over the fetiches on It,.
A prayer Is repeated. the import of which
is that the candidate is pure of hearthand
will keep all secrets. The new member
remains in the kiva until noon, having
gone in in the morning.
The chief ties a little eagle feather from
the breast Of the bird on the candidates
head, and gives him an ear of corn, called
his mother" Then little string is hand
ed him, with a feather attached, when the
new member under the direction of his god
father has to run to shrine mile away
from the city. This is a rock Enclosure,
and the feathers placed In 1t are supposed
to be prayers. The candidate returns, and
is then carried to the house Of the oldest
woman In the tribe, to which the godfath-
er belongs She has prepared a bowl with
water and suds, made of yucca. She
battles the head of the new person in this,
and when he rises up he is given NAME
prof Fewkes was given the name Of
Na-kivi-Pi, meaning medicine bowl on
account of the many questions which he
propounded regarding the ceremony, in
which the bowl formed leading feature
He was next given a handful of meal
when the return trip was made to the
kiva, and he was told certain prayer to
repeat, during which he sprinkled a hand
full of meal on the altar. In this manner he
became priest of the order, and was ad-
mtted into full membership of that order
and was permitted to watch the ceremon-
les OF the snake order.
The Mokis are a most peaceful tribe,
Prof. Fewkes said, having followed agri-
cultural pursuits for many years, raising
corn when they were first discovered
about 1910. They have never received any
rations from the government, and at the
present time have enough corn in their
store-houses to last them for two years.

HOT TAMALES.
Massachusetts People Thought They
Had Swallowed Turpentine.

Massachusetts People Thought They
Had Swallowed Turpentine.
From Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
Some Massachusetts residents were in
the city few weeks ago taking in the
sights of the wild and woolly west. OF
course, they found much that was novel
and interesting though they saw no buffa-
loes except those magnificent fellows in
the zoo. Indians, also were scarce, and
there wasn't a shooting ARRAY in the city
during their ten days stay. But neverthe-
less, time did not hang heavily on their
hands. They went to the theaters, took
street-car rides and really saw some views
over which they raved. They also had one
experience that they will remember for
some months, if not years. 1t came about
in this way;
Their hosts took them to the theater one
night. As they returned they expressed
some curiosity to taste a hot tamale
Why" said one of the Cincinnatians,
"did you never taste tamale? You shall
have one"
AT the corner of Sixth and Walnut a
half-doZen were purchased from the deal
er at the corner. The ride home was not
long, and every one knows that a half
dozen tamales wrapped in single package
How do you fix the things?" said the
yankee when they were seated in the din
ing-room at home.
Just peel the husks," said the host
"and bite off the end and it will do the
rest"
Whether the easterner was sensitive in
his throat or whether the things was I'M
usually hot will never be known, but big
bite hadn't been more than half way swal-
lowed until there were sputterng and
splitting that indicated a case of poison
ing.
Water, water! Great Jehosaphat, get
me. some water!' he spit and sputtered.
1--WE swallowed turpentine ball or a ro-
man candlep'
He got the water, but that only made
bad matters worse and it was a minute
or two before he recovered. His wife was
in the same fix, but she stood the ordeal
better. Both of them declared, however,
that there was a set-up job and that they
got the hot end of the poker
"All I've got to say is that If you people
can eat those things and keep a straight
face you've got Threats that have been ac-
climated to the fireworks they contain"
They ate no more tamales during their
stay

who would have been certain to suspect
him after a little, his pursuit was taken
up first by one and then another and every
public place he visited, and many private
ones, held spies, who watched his every
act and word. In this case the mans as

sible for any man T. follow a career of
crime without forming connections that
must sooner or later betray him to an as
tute detective.
Some of Mr.. Jarvis brilliant captures
arose out Of cases that brought him any
thing but fame. Here Is an instance: One
night, some four years ago, Mr. Jarvis
saw coming out of an east end public
house man whose face impressed him
he could not tell why Waiting until the
fellow had an opportunity of getting a lit
tie farther away, the officer slipped around
Il corner In another direction and by

pursuit wound up at a little oil store where
the detective saw at a window the face
of o man whom he remembered In his APP
prenticeship. He walked up and down as
near the house as he da'rd, searching his
memory for a clear recollection of the
countenance. AT last he was able to assoc
ciate 1t with the photograph of a criminal
once sentenced to twenty years. The face
was little thinner then, the mustache was
smaller and there was less nervous, wor-
ried expression on ii. After the man who
had. first excited his suspicious came out
the officer quietly followed him TO his lodg-

From the PhlIadeIphIa RECORD


New York, Oct. "a wee bit of hu-
mainly was gazed at yesterday by hun
dreds Of men and women at the new hos
pital, the Leon Institute, Eighteenth street
and Fifth avenue. The object OF all this
curiosity was the hospitals first patient,
the baby of Mrs. Owens, which is passing
through the first stages of its existence
here in one of the eighteen incubators
with which the hospital is equipped
The Leon incubator is composed Of a
box Of composite metal standing upon iron
supports. Air is obtained by means Of a
feed pipe running from the roof Before
entering the incubator the air is filtered
by passing through box of absorbent
cotton.
The tiny patients are nursed by means Of
tubes. When the eighteen incubators are
inhabited the services of six wet nurses
Will be required. No charge is made for
caring for the infants. but the directors
of the institute expect to defray the ex-
penses by charging visitors an admission
fee.

RUN BY GRAVITATION.
A Curious Timepiece which Suggests
Perpetual Motion.

A Curious Timepfece Which Suggests
Perpetual Motion.
From the New York Tribune.
A remarkable clock the motive power
of which is gravitation, is displayed in
the show window of prominent firm of
New York jewelers.. The works are made
of brass, while dial and clock case are of
glass, thus showing the whole mechanism
TO all beholders.
Its appearance suggests finely finish
ed model Of a machine or hoisting appa-
ratus rather than a timepiece. The dial
is secured to an upright brass "a" strue-
ture. This is surmounted by a round an
eroid barometer, which suggests the IA
miliar steam gauge. Around the dial is
a large fly wheel with sockets, and to the
left of the fly wheel is an endless bucket
chain lift, constructed on the principle OF
a grain elevator, with a thermometer on
the post of the lift, suggesting a steam
valve. Forty-one little weighted bans,
each about the size of a large pea, are en-
ployed to operate the clock; they are
drawn up on the bucket chain and drop
ped at intervals Of a minute into a conduit
over the hy-wheel, from which they roll
into the sockets of the wheel The wheel
carries twenty-one of the balls at one
time, and their weight revolves the wheel.
The power thus produced swings the PEN
dulum and governs the hands on the dial.
The wheel carries the balls about a
third Of the way around, and then they
drop into another conduit, triple incline,
which finally lands them at the foot OF
the elevator again, where the endless chain
gathers them up for another Swing
around the circuit" Some fine mathemat-
ical work has been required for this clock,
as everything about. Il depends upon the
most exact calculation. The balls must be
all Of exactly the same weight and the
momentum Of each must be- the same.
