AFRAID OF THE CAMERA.
Superstition of Eastern Indians a. 70
ths Danger Of Photographs.

Dana Nicolar, a quarter blooded Old
Town Indian. has just violated the
traditions of his tribe by consenting to
have his photograph taken to please
Canadian girl from Montreal, who
s"ys she is in love with him. Students
of ethnolosy assert that no Indian who
?pG9'l lie Naicll o~ Eastern language
nf the tribes will consent. 10 stand be
.ole camera, unless he is TAR gone IN
intoXiCation.
Among the beliefs held by the Abena-
ki tribe is one which asserts that the
great spirit has made from 20 to 80
duplicates of every Indian who wears
the salmon totem. The original fig-
ure, which Is the Indian himself, has
power TO va TX about on top Of the earth
and have a good time eating and get
ting intoxicated. The other 19 to 29
counterpart Indians are hidden away in
still pools and deep lakes where they re-
main sober all the time from compul-
sion.
On festive occasions when a brave ia
married or when he takes the scalp OF
an enemy, he Is permitted to throw
stones into these watery hiding places
and stir up an aquatic duplicate Of
himself. When the submerged indian
rises near the surface the terrestrial
Indian may look in the water and see
himself But every Indian is caution
ed to be economical in drawing upon his
duplicates, as every time he sees his
iTna0" IN the pool he uses I'D a part
of himself, and when the last one Is
4, io me indian must die
As every loyal Ahenaki believes that
sitting before a camera IS as bad for
his health as invoking his picture from
the bottom Of the pond, the amateur
photographer is not a welcome visitor
at any tribal function. At times this
inherited animosity takes the form Of
action, and the Photographer is ejected
from the company with force and hit
camera burned In public, while me
braves and squaws execute war dances
To express their Joy.
The ccmpulsion which led Dana Mic
olar to imperil his stay on this side OF
the happy hunting ground was love At
first sight. Under the spell of dark
eyes from Montreal he was led to az,
Old Town studio and submitted to the
dangerous ordeal with true Indian sto-
icism. .... r'
When the party returned to the res
ervation Dana was missed from the
supper table. Later a searching party
found him sitting OF the ice in the mid
die of pond in Milford, and gazing
anxiously into a hole which he had cut
ir the ice. When questioned regarding
his conduct he replied: ->
"Ah'm bin lose meself two tam, ter
day. Bimeby Ah'm bees all gone. So
Ah'm jes' come out to see HON many
more of myself bin lef' Bet you fff'
Ah'm bin all right. Ahm bin see two
Of myself down in ze fee hole. Now
Ah'm bin geet married, fore Aim BIN

lreland's New Fuel Industry.

1t now looks as if ireland had en-
tered upon practical development, in
a new fashion. of the vast reserve of
fuel stored in her bogs. The coal de-
posits. though worked to a small ex-
tent. do not at present encourage a
considerable investment of capital.
Prof. Hull, when head Of the geologi-
cal survey department, fixed the ma
tive coal resources at substantial
total. and the day may come when,
through the improvident system of
English mining, they will constitute
very valuable property. Meanwhile
the peat is at the surface and invites
enterprise. The wonder is that this
great accumulation of potential wealth
has remained SO long almost ignored.
1t Is true that at least three millions
of the population have used peat from
time immemorial for heating, but they
were merely touching the fringe, ana
the current methods of preparing it
for burning were utterly prin ,itive and
Incidentally wasteful. No one seemed
to think until very recently thc. ma
terial so abundant might be capable of
utilization in some other way and for
other purposes than the domestic h1e.
Men of science active enough in va
rious directions ignored mere bogs as
scarcely worthy of their study. They
didn't even appear to be aware that
Germany was experimenting with this
drown coal' with view Of bringing
it into the domain of commerce, and
that Sweden, Denmark ana Holland
had machines in use to compress the
clammy stuff into hard and Cry cakes
which would meet the needs of manu-
featuring industry.-Boston Transcript.

Mike Wclch, who. it is said. was

Mike objected strongly to the inter-

The hand of the law. however, was the
more powerful. and Mike at last went

ITALIANS ROBBED
OF THEIR EFFECTS
Marauders Get Away With
$500. Worth of Loot.
somebody Goes Through the Trunks
OF Street Railway Laborcrs At
Fair Grounds.
COMPANY HAS FOUND CLEw.

Finding the locks forced open and
their trunks bare of contents, the 80
Italian laborers imported by the Pa
ducah Light and Power company. re-
turned from work late yesterday at
ternoon and realized they had been
robbed OF all their good clothes and
other articles in their trunks. A val
liable watch and other personal orna-
ments had been taken.
These Italian laborers live in a
house erected for their use by the
company on the fair grounds. They
do their own cooking aud live on the
cooperative plan to cut down expen-
SEES. No one had been left to watch
the outfit, and 1t is presumed that
persons who had been watching their
chance. found the opportunity yester-
day afternoon, and took the clothes.
Officers OF the company have heard
some bitter talk about their import
ing the Italians and think they can
locate dehniteiy the kind OF persons
who committed the theft.
While working, the Italians wear
the poorest clothes. so that the
clothes stolen yesterday were the best
suits they had each one worth prob
ably s25. making the loss. counting
the watch and other articles, amount
to between 5000 and $500. Each la
borer had an amount equal to full
suit stolen. Everyone saw the hard
earned savings of many weeks work
swept away in the robbery. They are
especially helpless as none can speak
English.
1t Is believed that theft Of that
amount of property hardly can be
kept secret and in trying to dispose
Of the stolen goods. the thieves will
be caught. But. with the clew fur
nished by the threats against the IT.
allans. 1t is probable that the guilty
persons will be brought to account
before the opportunity to successful
ly dispose Of their haul will present
itself.
