But a Race Hitherton Unknown HAS

Although there are no wild red men
there Mr. Culin found several bands of
so-called Indians who lntermarry only

colored skin and high cheek bones, but
have no tribal organization. They have
few customs which differ from those of
rural Cuba generally and retain little
more of their own language than is. the.
common property of the natives.

An old legend gives the following as
the origin OF the snowdrop After Ad-
am and Eve had been driven from the
garden of Eden Eve was disconsolate.
One day as She sat silently grieying an
angel appeared and sought means to
comfort her She longed for the flow
ers but the fast descending snow was
wrapping the barren earth in a robe OF
white.
As the angel stood and spoke words
Of hope to the weeping. repentant wom-
an he caught a snowflake. breathed
gently upon it and said:
Take form. pure snowflake. bud and
blossom and be a comfort to humanity.
now and forever"
In twinkling the snowflake changed
into a beautiful flower. as white and
pure as the snow itself. and when Eve
beheld the newborn blossom gladness
and hope came to her heart and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of love,
the angel departed. but where be had
stood there Immediately sprung up a
circle OF perfect snowdrops.

You ara skeptical about the accuracy
Of this statement and ask why water

that air Is about the only substance

A scientist proposes the following as
