lndian Legend of the Formation OF
This Famous Mountain.
!. The quaint Indian legend IL the for,
nation of Pixies peak is as follows: J..
AT the beginning of ALL things the
lesser spirits possessed tire earth and
dwelt, near the Tanks Of the great
river. They had created q race Of men
to be their servants, but these men
were far superior to the present sin.t
habitants of the earth and made END.
less trouble for their creators. There,
fore the lesser spirits resolved to de.
stroy mankind and the earth itself, SO
they caused the great river to rise un.
til it burst its banks and overwhelmed
everything. They themselves took each,
large portion Of the best of the earth
that they might create new world
and quantity Of maize, which lad
been their particular food, and RETURN
ed to heaven. Arriving at the gate of
heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and mountains
meet theyi were told that they icould,
not bring such burdens Eof earth into
heaven. Accordingly they dropped
them all then and there. These falling
masses made a great Heap On the top
Of the world which extended far
above the waters, and this is the origin
Of Pixies peak, which is thus shown to
be directly under the gate Of heaven.
ct was formerly twice as high as now,
but lost its summit, as is told in an
other legend)
"The rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
dropped from the sky. The variety
and extent Of the mineral wealth in
the region prove that the earths choic-
est materials are deposited there. And
still as the considerations move across
the heavens and vanish above the
mountain SUBMITS we may see the
spirits rise from the great river and
pass to the gate of heaven. The fall
ing stars are their falling burdens or
the dropping grains Of maize" >.

THE PECULIAR. LOOM. .
TA1s Bird Has . Hide About a. Tough
~ That Of an OK. r. i

TAis Bird Has . Hide About a. Tough
~ That Of an OK. q, r.
The loon diners from other birds in q
number of ways. II have reason to
tLHsk that many people are unaware
Of some at least Of these peculiarities.
The loon has hide as tough as an OK,
and Its feathers cannot be plucked
without first scalding the bird as you
would a hog. This incident will give
some idea Of the toughness Of the hide:
About thirty-five years ago, when I
was living in Michigan, a loon was
shot at with shotgun industriously
all summer without apparently doing
him any harm, In the fall killed him
with d rifle just to convince the people
that a loon could be shot and killed.
He had many times been shot at with
a. rife by the same people who had
used the shotgun, and they had become
convinced that he dived so quickly that
he lodged the shot in that way. had
seen them shoot at him a number Of
times, and could see the splash of
bullet or shot in the water before the
loon dived. I}ridiculed the idea Of the
lodging, and that led to my shooting
him to support my contention. When L
skinned the bird found and counted
over a hundred No. shot, all Of them
stuck to the inside of the hide and SO
doing him no permanent harm. 1t is
remarkable that he was never hit in
the eye nor sustained a broken wing.
Another thing peculiar to the loon is
that after the chicks are Matched, IL the
mother wishes to move far, she will
make a shallow dive and come up I'M
der her babies and swim off with them
on her back. The person that succeeds
In photographing her under such condi-
tons may well claim the pennant. On:
~ once have seen loon shoulder her
young, although for over twenty years
I lived in the part of Michigan where
then there was the best chance imagi-
nable to watch looms. Now the timber
has been cut of around most Of the
lakes, and such favorable conditions
for observation no longer exist.
Although. I have, only once seen a
loon shoulder her babies, I have seen
her swimming with them ON her back
many times. Once one swan within
twenty feet of me and never suspected
my presence. - &c. y ','T'*' - 80
One OF their calls when sitting on the
water for volume beats that of any
other bird or, beast that know Of
have heard them in the night when
they were more than five miles distant,
for they only make that kind of call
from the water, and there was no lake
inNthat direction short of that distance.
To say that the loon is very interest
ing bird is as mild as can express 1t.

Natural Cross Of Pearls.

Some curious things have been found
IN the briny deep, but one of the odd
est Is an ecclesiastical emblem made
Of pearls which was washed ashore on
the coast Of West Australia. There are
nine good sized gems in this natural
curiosity. These have been Joined to-
gether to form a perfect Latin cross.
Seven pearls OF equal size comprise the
upright and two more form the trans
verse piece. The joining has been the
work Of nature. The odd prize, dis
covered in a pearl oyster, is said to be
worth at least $4,000. It is called the
Great Southern Cross pearl.
