FOURTEEN TONS OF FLOWERS.

From the New York Snn
Already. before England has wakened
from winter. the Scilly Islands are all
abloom. 1t seems odd that spring tourists
do not take the islands into their itinerary
for even along the Mediterranean there is
no flower land better worth seeing. For
some reason expitcable by winds and tides
flowers bloom fnsthe Sciliy climate fully six
weeks before even the most careful nursing
can bring them out On the neighboring
mainland, and the luxuriance of the bloom
ing is q marvei1e
Not so many years ago the Islands ac-
cepted their climate and their flowers as
blessings Of Providence and had no idea of
coming either into hard cash. A steward
on little trading vessel began taking
basketfulTof early vioIets, primroses, daffo-
dis and lnarcissus over to the mainland
whenever he went and selling them. They
brought good prices and he Increased the
size Of the basket. That was the beginning
of the Scflly flower trade. Two weeks ago
1t reached what Is. so far, its high water
mark F'otrteeK tons Of flowers were sent
from thesi ISLANDS to the London market in
the one week !

was like the raising of the dead, for it
had been many years since the red
boys had looked on each others faces.
But here were the northern Indians
bowling and dancing for their Southern
friends and there was much rejoicing
at the park.
The night the pictures were given Mr..
BuckWalter asked "Quin" whether it
would be possible to get the Utes to
give one Of their sacred dances for the
benefit of the Crows. 1t was explained
that the dance would be caught by the
moving-picture machine, and later
taken to Wyoming and shown the In
dians there.
"Quin' was almost Mortified at the
request, but promised to think over
the matter" The result was that when
the dance was given Mr.. Buckwalter
and his camera were there, and the
whole cermony was caught on the film
and the result will be of great value to
the anthropological students, for the
gyrations of the dancers tell a story Of
legend that has never been written,
possibly, except in the allegorical
drawing on the old teepees. A copy of
the film has been sent to the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington,

the crawling things means that the
snakes will go into winter quarters
feeling friendly toward the red man
and his children, and will bring peace
and plenty to the teepees the year fol-
lowing. Not only will the rains make
the crops grow, but the grass on the
hillsides will be luxuriant and rich,
and the furred animals will fatten up
and multiply in great numbers. and the
Indian will be compelled to let out his
belt hole or two as q result.
II. H. Buckwalter, the photographer,
has made many friends among the
Southern Utes. During the summer he
promised them that when they came to
Denver to the festival he would show
them Indians in moving pictures. The
red came and spent their first night in
front of the screen at City Park They
saw not only themselves in picture,
but the Indians from the Grow agency
in Wyoming, who have been to the
frontier-day festivities at Cheyenne,
were also in the pictures. Way long
ago Quin-chucka- chaw, now sub-c chief
of the Utes had paid a council visit to
the Crows and Shoshoues, and great
was his surprise when he saw some of
his old friends appear on the screen. 1t

TIE SNAKE DANCE PHOTO

For the first time in the history of
the tribe the Southern Ute Indians
have been photographed in their annual
snake dance.
1t is not generally known that the
Ute annually dance to celebrate the
harvesting of crops, and pay homage
to the reptiles in the belief that next
year they will bring more moisture and
abundance of game. 1t is a fact that
the Indians all over the West have a
belief that to the snake is due the
rains and the feast or famine. To fail
to pay due respect to the snake means
that next year they will bring famine,
while to spend one day In H--;Shipping

 weeks or months, but no matter how well done the color would alter to the tone of leather, as is the case with the

This is simply due to an secretion of mineral matter, and such cases are by no means unprece- dented."
