The JemeZ received the messengers
with hospitality and accepted the invi-

course lay to the south of the Jemez
village and being nearer than to the
Pecos village, the Pecos braves were
invited to call on the morning Of the
hunt and join the Jemez in smoke.
After a two days fast and purifica-

singing and dancing stared to the vii

halted on the mesa to the east of the

The Note That Does the Trick.

The fatal note-the note which par
Alyzes the mosquito-has at last been
found, and, quite in accord with the
eternal fitness of things, it has been
found IN New Jersey. The discoverer
is Professt:t ]. II. Thomas, who leads
the National Cornet band of New
Brunswick, n. ]. According to the ac-
count, which comes from no less re-
liable source than special dispatch
from New Brunswick to a metropolitan
newspaper, the National Cornet band
was rehearsing the other evening a
very difficult composition in A minor,
and horn blower Fred Nixon had been
struggling though unsuccessfully, with
solo of eight bars for the first alto.
The solo would have been easy enough
for an amateur of Mr.. Nixon's talent
and experience but for one note, A
above the staff, which during several
consecutive minutes eluded his most
frantic efforts. The professor says:
After several attempts Nixon succeeded
in reaching the note A, which, on an alto
horn. produces about $50 vibrations per
second. He made 1t with great force.
had noticed five mosquitoes sitting on the
ceiling but the instant he reached the A
every mosquito dropped into the horn.
Being curious to know the cause of their
sudden fall from the ceiling. l secured a
| powerful microscope and found that both
| the auditory and optic nerves were COM
pletely paralyzed, showing that If they
| had lived they would have been blind as
| well as deaf.
| Judging from this, think that there is
no doubt that the musical note that is
| fatal to the mosquito is the note A above
| the staff produced on an alto horn in the
hands Of an amateur. l intend to expert
| ment further with bass horn. From
| rough calculations l think that an ordi-
| nary amateur band ought to be able to
kill off all of the mosquitoes in the New
ark meadows in three days.
If there is any fatal note which
will put the mosquito out Of commits
sion 1t is evidently the "a above the
STAFF jerked out Of an alto horn by a
husky Jerseyman, and we are inclined
to give Professor Thomas full credit fol-
his discovery. Meanwhile, before he
proceeds too far with his campaign OF
determination, it might be well to in
quire the effect it will have upon the
human beings in the neighborhood II
is possible that the continuance of the
mosquito pest would be quite as en-
durable as the promiscuous scattering
Of "A's above the staff throughout the
populous villages that environ the Jer
sey meadows.

less, and clouds of lnky blackness gath
cred, couriers of the storm. Lightning
flashed from the heavily charged
clouds, and amid Its terrific peals the
terror stricken people ran to the estufa.
Kneeling around the sacred blaze, they
began to pray to the True Spirit above.
Another peal, and the wall Of the es-
tufa was rent asunder, and the sacred
blaze became again extinct. The ter
ror stricken, superstitious Indians ran
from their now accursed temple into
the plaza. fleeing from the wrath Of the
spirit whom they had offended. They
were more Mortified still at seeing a
wall of fire rolling down from the Je-
meZ mountains.
ut is the evil spirit in his cloud Of
fire, and he has come to punish our be-
trayers," grimly said Cacique Zandia
as he pointed to the mass Of molten
lava flowing down from the volcano,
cow In eruption.
The superstitious Indians still stood
In the plaza, executing their sacred
spirit dance, beating their breasts and
singing the prayer to the True Spirit
above. On came the wall of molten
lava, swelled by successive waves from
the volcano, until 1t reached the village
walls, where 1t was stayed until other
waves swelled the molten tide, when
the village and its shrieking inhabit
ants were buried beneath the burning
mass.
A mountain of molten lava marks the
spot where the estufa Of the Pecos In
dams stood, and it also serves as 6
monument to those buried beneath 1T
ruins.

Holy Writ Substituted For Baton
and Revolver.
DR.. Alexander ]. Dowie has inaugu-
rated new system of armament for
the police force of Zion City, near Chi
cago, says the New York World. In
stead of the usual baton and revolver
each Zion guard will carry pocket
Bible.
The innovation was made at recent
thanksgiving service. Colonel Stern,
who holds the office corresponding to
chief Of police, was called to the plat
form by Overseer Spelcher.
Draw your swordv' the overseer
commanded.
Colonel Stern put his hand to his
side In military fashion and from the
scabbard at his belt pulled a pocket
Bible. This was the signal for great
applause from the audience. Overseer
Speicher announced that henceforth
every member Of the Zion police force
should carry Bible in scabbard at
his belt.
