INDIAN SWEAT BATH,

Quite Effective and Even More He

Especial Arizona Letter.

TT is not often that u white man
is invited to participate in the
religious ceremonies of the In
dian. Indeed, so seldom does it oc-
cur that those who think they know
all about Indians disbelieve asser-
, tions of those who have been more
highly favored and privileged than
themselves. Few people, at first
sight, would suppose that sweat
bath was religious ceremonial. And
yet it is. Among many of the tribes
of the southwest Russo-Turkish
bath is taken every week as reli-
gious function, and he is remiss in
the performance of his religious
duties who fails to unite with his
fellows in this ceremony.

My friends. the Havasupai Indians,
of Cataract canyon, in northern Ari-

agree that anarchy is abominable. We
would be false to our surroundings if
we did not. We are all we'll dressed

it is only natural for us to take the
position of the party in possession.

much if we make the mistake of con-
graduating ourselves on the present
state of our society or our position in
it. The aristocracy and nobility of
France took the same position before
the revolution in regard to what they
called their rights. But was it not

pie starved. who We're the anarchists?

Recorder Golf said thatin our efforts
to devise legislation for depressing an

might go to the other extremes.

lation," he said. claws never made
men and women virtuous. Do not en-

much fuel to feed the flames. When
wrong, ideas die of themselves. In
dealing with anarchy let us remember
that 1t our government is founded on
righteousness then anarchy is a. craze
and this craze will pass as other crazes
have in the worlds history"

REVOLUTION OF PLANETS.
Joseph Battell, Novelist and I'hiloso.
pher, Says Force of SUMS Light
Is the Cause.

That the revolution of the earth
and other planets about the sun is
caused by the force of the suns light
moving through the vacuum between
the spheres and more or less affected
by magnetic currents is the claim of
Joseph Battell, novelist and philos-
opher, of Middlebury, VT, who claims
to have made careful study of the
problem. Mr.. Battell said in regard
to his theory:
"The interstellar space is a vast
region into which the air does not
extend, and, therefore, is similar to
what we call vacuum. But it is
demonstrated by the experiments of
Prof. j. j. Thompson, of Oxford uni
versity, England, and other eminent
physicists, that in vacuum cathode
rays, light, heat and electricity do
their work, and it is shown that
these PARTICLES or corpuscles of light
not only move with great rapidity in
straight lines, but will cause to move
rapidly in Q vacuum bodies which
they meet in their path.
1T follows, as a matter of abso-
lutte certainty, that the light emitted
from the sun into the space sur
rounding it must cause to move what
ever bodies are in its path. This
means especially the earth and other
planets of what we call the solar
system. Light moving in straight
lines will push these bodies away
from the sun. This is the so-called
force of repulsion.. 1t is further dem
onstrated that magnetic currents will
defect or bend the rays of light from
a straight to curved course. Let
these two forces be properly adjust
ed and the revolution of planets
about their central sun is accounted

A Hard-Luck Story.
From the Chicago Enter Ocean.

rroh the thlcago Inter Ocean.
Otis Harlan confidently believes that he
has the best hardrluck story of the closing
season He was recently playing an en-
gagement in Atlanta, Ga, and suffering, at
the same time, from the monotony of life
on the train, In hotel bus and at the
theater- Consequently, he went in search
of diversion. .-...
He found this while seated at peculiarly
shaped table covered with green cloth, in
the center of which, were a number of
painted cards, and behind which sat a man
taking in and paying out money Mr. Har-
Ian, as per the story. visited with the gen.
tleman for several hours and at the end of
that time had a wall of chips in front of
nm which looked like a small boys house
OF blocks. Just as the actor was about to
exchange them for the less bulky green
backs, according to an agreement with the
gentleman across the table, several police
men appeared, and In the parlance Of the
police reporter, the place was "pinched."
Naturally Harlan didn't wait to conclude
his dealings with the gentleman holding the
money. AT the station he was released and
the next day he declares he learned on very
good authority that because of his streak of
luck the proprietors of the place where he
was being entertained sent word to the DO
lice that they would like to be arrested.
