in the woods until half century ago.
When asked why these freaks among
the herds have changed their coats, the
wise Indians shake their heads and =
ply:
"Heem bin lax heem was some
scared. Some mans heem geet mooch
scared an heem hair bin turn same's
all white. What for re deer no bin so
re same way?"
According to reports brought in by
men who spent much time in the Maine
woods last summer, all the Indians
have noticed the remarkable Increase
in the number of albino deer in the last
five or six years, and they have rea-
soned the question out among them
selves until they have come to the
conclusion that a white deer is either
a deer which has been very badly
frightened at some time in its life, or
is the offspring of deer which have
been scored equally effectively.
A year ago last winter Nick Socka-
lexis. hunter of the Abenaki tribe,
spent the cold months trapping for
furs along the West Branch, making his
headquarters in an abandoned camp
close to the tracks Of the Bangor &
Aroostock railroad. Wishing for COM
pany, he caught a small female deer in
December and kept her in the camp
howell during the winter. She grew to
be very tame, but, in spite of all that
Sockalexis could do, she became terri
fled and shook with fear every time a
train went past.
One day, when he wished to accustom
his pet to the noise, the hunter tied her
out to tree near the track. When he
came in from his traps at night he
found that her coat had changed to
snowy white with terror. He kept the
deer in the hoyel until June before
turning her loose to run in the woods.
In May she gave birth to two healthy
fawns, both of which were snow white
and very beautiful. The Indian is sure
that the change in color was due to ter
ror awakened by the noise of the
trains, and that the physical symptoms
of fear implanted in the mother were
inherited by her offspring. To inves-
tigate this Indian hypothesis the sci
entific men are coming to Maine next
month

PHILIPPINE REVENUES.
Great Increase Shown in Receipts of
Customs in the Last Few
Years.

The bureau of insular affairs of the
war department has prepared for pub
LEGATION a comparative statement
showing the customs revenues in the
Philippine archipelago for the month
of January 1908, as compared with
the same period Of 1902, 1901, 1900 and
1899. reports the Washington Star.
The statement shows that during
the month of January, 1903, the Gus
toms revenues were $500, 961 so; for the
same month in 1902, $7O9, 663.5o; in
1901. $646, 676.51; in 1900, SALE, 4O915.
and in 1899, $321,153
1t is apparent from the figures given
that the collections have steadily in
creased during the periods indicated
and that the revenues in January, 1903,
are nearly three times as great as
those for the same month of 1892
The amounts shown represent the

DEER TURNING WHITE.
Indians shy 1t Is Due to Their In
creasInE Terror of Life In
the Woods.

A party of scientific men from Cor
nell and Johns Hopkins universities
and several naturalists from the de-
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton are coming to Maine this summer
for the purpose of studying the effect
of fear upon the physical development
of wild animals, states the New York
Sun.
Prior to the appearance of the white
men in North America all manuals con-
formed to the laws of natural selection
as promulgated by Darwin and his sue
cessors. Timid animals were so col
ored as to fit the environment in which
they lived. Hares were brown in the
summer to correspond to the shaded
woods in which they roamed, but with
the approach Of winter they put on
white overcoats to match the snowy
surface of the country. Deer. moose
and caribou, which were rusty red set
of with white in summer, coated them
selves in dun gray suits as soon as the
snow fell, thus better avoiding the
gaze IT prowling wolves, bob cats and
paEthers. Aged Indians of the three
tribes which inhabit Maine say that

Indian Hair and Names.

Not long ago the Indian bureau is.
sued an order that all the reserva ton
Indians should have their hair cut. The
decree provoked so much opposition
that it was finally rescinded. Now an
other change is planned which can
hardly be expected to meet with any
less vigorous antagonism-a change
from distinctly Indian to more com
mon Anglo-SaXon names. The reason
assigned is that Indian names are pure
ly individual. and go out of existence
with the deaths of the men who bear
them. This makes it difficult to trace
titles and family relationships. and
confuses government records MAN.

HAWAIIAN SHARK GODS.
Fish Deities Set Up by the Natives Of
the Fishing Communities
Along the Coast.

Not long ago the Hawaiian fisher
men had many strange fish gods, and
fair proportion of the natives in the
outlying islands believe in them to this
day. says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Of all fish, the greatest was the
shark, and almost every fishing To-
callty along the coast had its own
shark god, whose name, history, hid
ing place and appearance were we'll
known to every fisherman. They APP
pointed pahu, or keeper, for it. who
was responsible for its care and wor-
ship, and who had to carry a pig or
fowl to it at certain periods. The
kahu would talk to the shark when
it arose from the deep to get the food,
and sometimes, according TO the Ha-
wailan stories, these shark gods be-
came so amiable that they would let
the keepers pat them.
In return for the keepers care. it
was confidently believed that the
shark god would protect him if he
fell into the water, and even carry him
to shore if he was capsized.
The largest and most famous of the
Ia " ehAA1h SOOS was a.
a huge fish whose mouth was de-
scribed as being as large as a grass
hut. He was probably one of the i'm
mense Pacific ocean sharks known as
basking sharks, for the stories that
are told of him describe him as be-
ing able to swallow an ordinary
shark. The channels around the is
lands of Maui and Oahu were too shall
low for his mighty body. and most of
the time he remained in the deep wa
ter of Kaula. The keeper used to GO
out far to sea in canoe to offer him
the sacrifice of the people.
Almost as famous was the shark
god Kamohoalii, who used to assume
the human form. When he was
man he lived near the crater of the
volcano of Mauna Loa. and even tho
great goddess Pele herself did not
dare to let the smoke of her immense
volcanic fires blow near the abode of
the shark god. Many Hawaiian fish
ermen still believe that Kamohoalii
swims to-day in the deep water off
Maui, and some worship him as their
god, and offer him gifts.
pretty shark god legend is that
of Kaahupahau and Kahiuka. sister
and brother who wandered away one
day and disappeared. At last their
relatives learned that they had been
transformed into sharks. and they be-
came the gods of the district.
These two shark gods lived on
terms of great friendship with the
people, and did them all sorts of kind
nesses. Such Hawaiians as still be-
lieve in shark gods believe that the
sister is dead now. but that Kahiuga
still lives in a cave near the Eva
lagoon. where he often does good
deeds. such as saving the fshermen's
nets in storms.
