One fireman distinguished himself by
daring rescue. He was up on a ladder close
TO the building when he heard a cry ring
ing out above the roar of the flames. He
steadied himself upon the ladder and peered
into the dense smoke. Just then gust of
wind cleared the scene. The fireman saw
man in a window of the fifth story carry

was about to throw the unconscious human

was evident. The fire was roaring so thai

as a tribe but the chief Of the tribe is now
this, now that mythic parsonage. Among
the Ute ii is Shinauav, and among the Lun
it is the sun. Among those tribes that have
made the greatest progress In culture there
seems to be a tendency 70 exalt ceiestlal

ssEgularly resembles that of our Aryan
forefathers. We are able to discover YES
tiges of ancient zootheistic belief among
the tribes of the Orient, and We are also
able to discover veStiges OF regional cos
mology in many places throughout the east
ern hemisphere. SO we are justly entitled
to believe that the cosmology and theology
of the American Indian were at one time
universal but we are not able to trace any
direct connection between the Orient ana
the Occident in the cults of primitive peo-
pies.
We are therefore abundantly warranted
in saying that the American Indian did not
derive his forms of government. his indus
trial and decorative arts, his languages, OF
his NEUROLOGICAL opinions from the old
world but developed them in the new. Man
thus seems to have inhabited the new world
through all the lost centuries of prehistoric
time. In fact. we are compelled to believe
that man occupied the entire habitable globe
anterior to the development OF arts, indus
tries institutions. languages, and cosmolog-
ical opinions How this primordial
species, the ante-human species. was dis
trfbuted from some geographic center or
region is the problem which remains for
solution: and this cannot be solved by
ethnology as represented in physical races
or as exhibited in cultured characteristics.

by geologic research-by dlscoVerlng lhe re,

condition as they are buried in some geo
logic stratum, and by following them from

days overdue, from St. Johns, n. f., and

pack ice off the Newfoundland coast and
with a narrowing tale of blizzards and des-
titutlon ON the coast section of that coun-
try. Hundreds of men, women and chill

hundreds more threatened with like fate
are the brief details of the condition of az

big steamship Virginia was locked in tight.
She has been sent north by the Canadian
government with food for the starving fish

We're a dozen or more sailing vessels loaded
with Goldfish for England and Brazil. The
city of St. Johns was in Il terrible condi-
ton on account of the blizzard. The streets
were rendered impossible, the railroads had
suspended work and the poor were suffering
through hunger and cold. Prices of food
had advanced until they were beyond the
reach of the poor. When the Portia was
working her way out to sea she was closely
followed by the bark Flora and these two
vessels were the only ones that succeeded
in leaving St. Johns. Several miles off
shore the Portia passed the steamer Grand
Lake fast in the ice and in perilous con-
dition. The steamer Virginia was released
from her perilous position after the de-
parture of the Portia from ST Johns, and
the position of the rest of the distressed
fleet has been reported by telegraph to be
relieved.
