An Eskimo Legend.

Etah Eskimos, who wander among the
northern stations of Smith sound, know
nothing Of centripetal or centrifugal en-
ergy and have never heard of the oriental
stories Of the earth being supported on the
back Of a tortoise or an elephant. but they
do have a legend-never before in print
that accounts to their satisfaction for the
holding of our globe in its place and a
legend that is quite strangely carried out
by geography.
They say that the earth is held In the
giant grasp Of the great Ice spirit. who
reaches out from the dark northern sky
and holds the water-covered sphere with
his left hand that forms the land on which
we live They laugh at explorers who are
seeking the pole, and say that 1t Is inn
possible to reach it, because the ice spirit
has surrounded his wrist with impenetra-
BILE and unsurmountable barriers.
So much for the legend, now for the geog-
raphy These EsKimos point southwark
over the great American continent and say
that Is the hand thumb OF the Ice spirit,
and they point further and further to the
east to locate the rest of the hand and
stop where they say there is great ocean
that reaches from the little finger around
to the thumb again. That Is the Pacific.
Take your atlas IF the world and you can
well imagine the western continent being
the thumb of this spirit, with its broad ball
forming North America and the joint
breaking at the isthmus: with the nail at
TERRA Del Fuego. rounding on into Cape
Horn.
Between the thumb and first finger lies
the Atlantic, and that finger extends far
southwark. forming Europe and Africa, with
it's terminus at Cape Of Good Hope Then
the middle finger, with its main joint bent
at the Himalaya mountains. reaches
through the Indian peninsula, terminating
at Ceylon. The .hird finger is extended.
forming the Chinese peninsula, and reach
ing through Australia. Above these fingers
hos o,,ff v,tO ma
ing the great plain of Asia: and to the
east, marking the western bounds of the
Pacific, is the little finger. which covers
kamchatka, the kurile Islands and japan.

LAST OF THE BOLIvARs.
Death at Caracas of Brother Of the
Great LiberatOr.

Death at Caracas of Brother Of the
Great LiberatOr.
From the Venezuelan Herald.
When we turn our eyes through the lens
OF South American history and recall that
bloody struggle for Independence we behold
the shadows Of many deathless heroes,
whose steps along the corridors OF time
have left a trailing light Of glory behind
them Such cluster Of noble patriots in
clude Miranda, Paes. Sucre. Monagas. Ber-
mudez, Falcon. Vargas and Simon Bolivar,
whose names will live In imperishable
grandeur as long as the human heart can
cherish deeds OF valor and sentiments OF
unalloyed patriotism. But by far the most
eminent and foremost man of that period
and the one who infused his lofty In
dividuality among all his followers was
General Simon Bolivar, who has ever since
been known as the Libertador-the Wash
ington of South America And well has he
won such fame, as the idol Of his people,
the admired hero Of Europe and America,
the conqueror of Spain, the liberator Of half
a continent and the founder Of five nations.
By the strange tergiversations OF Latin
American politics, and the rivalries and
jealousies Of smaller men, the great Liber-
tador, within two years after his successes.
found himself an exile-an outcast from
the nations he had created. In the sadness
and humiliation Of exile he passed his last
days dying at Santa Marta In 1880. A
tardy reversion Of national feeling succeed
ed, and, twelve years later, his remains
were brought back to Caracas and amid
the greatest pomp he was laid to rest in
the pantheon of his native city.
The last direct relative of the Libertador,
bearing the family name, has just died in
Caracas. at the extreme age of ninety-one
years. He was Don Fernando Simon San
tiago Bolivar Palacios. the son of Colonel
Juan Vicente Bolivar Palacios. the only
brother of General Bolivar this brother
being lost at sea while conducting filfbus-
tering expedition during the patriot wars).
Don Fernando lived until the time Of his
death in an unpretentious quarter Of Cara
cas-. in q very ordinary house, sparsely fur
nished, which could in no particular give an
impression Of the large wealth he is re-
puted to have left. He was extremely In
firm, feeble and palsied, requiring constant
attention. as his helplessness was 80 COM
plete during the last years that his food
had to be raised to his mouth by another
Through the influence of such physical
weakness. long confinement and the droop-
ing energies and faculties Of extreme old
age his mind was naturally weakened and
as unfortunately often occurs with the
aged, this beclouded condition was mani
fest In an intense bitterness against all
who were directly or remotely related to
him.
