There is valley in Bolivia, SorCh
America, which might well be called
the Valley OF the Shadow OF Death. II
has been inhabited for an indefinite
period OF years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred TO the various South
American tribes and number now only
a few hundred souls. That they were
once a very powerful tribe is indicated
by the condition of the land which
they as tribe still inhabit. One can
not travel any distance through their
land without coming upon the old and
forsaken burial grounds OF the Kanaa
dead. These places cannot be called
graveyards. for the bodies are not
buried, but rather placed upon elevat-
ed platforms, wrapped in the garments
of death and bound TO the crossbeams
that they may not be displaced.
In one of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms and on each will lie from
three to FIVE OF the Kanaa dead. The
air in that part of Bolivia is. very pure
and preservative, for 1t is one of the
highest plateaus OF the continent, al
though Kanaa valley is just a little
below the plateaus height. A traveller
passing through that land Mt night and
by moonlight would be awestricken at
the gloomy vision those graveyards
present

of these women find employment in

Their work lies on the pit brow at the
surface and not down below. Once wo-
men were employed in the coal seams,
but ia 1872. in the face of great oppos
sition from colliery owners, an act was
passed prohibiting women and children
from being employed below the surface
