OF marvels and "a display OF primitive
ingenuity the very existence Of which not
one out Of a thousand OF Us ever had cause
to even suspect.
The Ciff Dwellers Concession Offers TO the

i'll which the original inhabitants OF the

Traces OF these Cliff DWellers have Just been

the wild, almost inaccessible Sierra Madre
Mountains. They lived there thousands OF
wears before the white man came and the
ancestors OF the same Cliff Dwelers now at
the Worlds Fair had their cliff, cavern and
cleft habitatiOnS in the Colorado Painted
Desert thousands OF years before tOlumbu
discovered America There hundreds OF CEN
turtles Of cliff life made them people to
whom the mainifrsta tiOns OF Nature appeal
with force and thus We find to-day among
the descendants of these almost extinct peo-
pie wonder-wOrkers, necrOmancers and thau-
maturgists such as can be seen in no other
department OF the Worlds Fair. Chief
among these almost miraculously gifted
men is Shungopavi MOki prestgitatOrs and
medicine man, to whom belongs the credit
today OF having achieved the most ornate
personal triumph among all the many Won
drous persons whom the great Fair has
gathered in the metropolis OF the Mississippi
Valley. He lives in the Cliff at the Cliff
DweIlers in II home he built himself and to it
he attached IL temple in which he displays
his marvellous art. Three hundred OF his
tribesmen are with him not one OF whom
has ever before been within the confines of
civilization. Altogether the Cliff Dwellers
Concession is unique and unapproachable in
the particulars OF strange and out-of-the
