The IDdiaD Sign language

which represents Montezuma's adjutants
sounding blast for rain, is found the figure
of hand suspended from the sky with the
fingers pointing downward Another example
Is shown in the word CLOUD" The modern
Indians represent this word by bringing the
index fingers of both hands together near the
face and pointing forward then suddenly sep
aratlng them to each side, and at the same
time describing curves like scallop The
same idea is Illustrated in the same way in
the photograph Scallops are found through
out the photographs which represent storms.
Lightning is represented by the Indians of
high above the head, then bringing it rapidly
downward with sinuous motion. This same
idea is demonstrated most convincingly by
referring to Mogui etchings recently found in
son photographed the wall of an estufa in
the Jemez pueblo in New Mexico, and the
same idea is represented in detail in these
photographs. The word "6re" is represented
by all the Indian tribes Of today by placing
both hands forward with all the fingers point
ing upward. A number of photographs of the
Aztec god of fire have been secured by the
Smithsonian Institution, and every photo
graph shows without exception that this ges-
ture represented the word FIRE" even among
the Aztecs of Yucatan and Central America.
Major Scott has also proved that the In
dian sign language is the nearest approach to
universal language which has ever been
formulated From recent research it is evi-
dent tnaC the CflDeS u6eu a system OF signs
which was so perfect that it was superior to
the present international signal code which
is used throughout the nautical world The
system of the Indians was not so complicated
as the one now in use and answered every
purpose Major Scott thinks that in some in
stances the prehistoric tribes were able to
accomplish that which has baffled modern
scientists and hnguists. The sign Language
was used to such an extent that it answered
the purpose of an intertribal language OF
course it did not include within its scope all
the minute, details of an international Ian
guage, but by means of it the most distant
tribes were able to communicate on any sub
iect, although their language may have diff
fered as much as Greek differs from Hotten-
tot. The Indians of today use sign Ian
guage which is SO nearly perfect that all the
tribes now in existence can carry ON a con-
versation with each other, although their oral
languages may be entirely different Major
Scott says that he has communicated for
hours with tribes in British Columbia by
means of the same signs which he uses when
conversing with the Indians of Old Mexico
While it is true that there are now in exist
ence some tribes which do not practice the
sign language, it is because they are isolated
and have no use for intertnbal communication.

IT'S getting little too warm up herei"
he exclaimed to himself
And, stepping to his side Of the engine, he
leaped out in the darkness.
He. jumped with all the skill at his COM
rmand-and no one knew the peril better than
he-and landed on the soft, level earth; but
such was his speed that he could not save
himself. He landed with terrific jar, and
stnging. pain in his left leg caused him 10
gasp. with agony, as he rolled forward ON
his face.
Ned did not lose his senses, but when he
carefully attempted TO rise upon his feet, he
found the right leg was useless-thc bone was
broken below the knee.
When Jarvis caught sight of the second OBJ
struction, he turned to shout to Ned to keep
his place behind the boiler, but the fireman
was gone. Unseen by the engineer. he had
just made his unfortunate leap from the To-
comotive.
No. 90 seemed to shake her head like
mad bull after hingng off the brambles from
his horns, and then she charged upon the
second pile, from whose top also cleaned
red light.
To the engineer it appeared as If she had
time to make no more than a couple of reyo-
lutions, when the humping, grinding crash
was renewed.
Jarvis dodged behind the protection of the
boiler once more, just in time to escape a
piece of timber, which crashed through as if
fired from the throat of a eolumbiad. At the
same instant, the engine made dizzying lurch
to one side, and jolted and bumped over the
ties.
"99'' was off the track!
Los Angeles herald., 1906-09-16
3!91NE

Failing to reach the iron obstruction by
keeping to the rails, she leaped from them,
and continued her terrific charge over the
gravel, stone ballast and splinteriDg ties
JARVIS Brinton never received such fierce
shaking up in his life. No one who has not
been in a similar situation can understad the
violence Of such treatment. Again and again
he believed the engine was about to turn
over. Sometimes one side would sink so low
that the overturning appeared inevitable and
then 1T would lurch in the other direction.
During this time Jarvis was crouching in
his old shelter behind the end Of the boiler.
Many persons in his place would have jumped
of and taken the chances, for the speed of
the locomotive of necessity diminished rap
idly. But 1t had ever been his creed to stick
to his engine until the end was reached. His
experience taught him that it was equally
safe, IT not safer than to spring to the ground
on the appearance of danger. OF course las
in the case Of threatened collisions, or on
approaching an open draw, this is not an in
variable rule but it had governed him thus
far, and governed him in the present case
All the while that "99'' was mrchng. Jolt
ing and tearing over the ties. she was labor
ing like ship in the sea to reach the Offend
ing obstruction. Though she was wounded
and almost mortally hurt, she fercely fought
her way onward, until the forward trucks
struck the edge of the frog, and not only
twisted it out of place, but fractured it from
end to end
Jarvis Brinton had obeyed orders; he had
broken the frog and scattered the men who
had placed it in position.

Soon after, that sultan awoke one morn

Man and winked at his crimes. Another sui
tan insisted that the Old Man should obey
him, and was soon after found dead.
In 1124, many of the assassins were killed,
however, in furious war; but in 1191, they
killed Count Conrad, of Austria, and forced
the Crusaders to form treaties with them.
They terrified every one and lived and ruled
by fear. They spread over all of Asia, and
were talked about over all Europe. The most
wonderful stories were related Of their chief
though none could well exceed the truth.
They had great castles and lived in them on
the fruits of their crimes.
But the worst and strongest criminals can
not flourish forever. Men kill them to escape
their crimes as well as to punish them. 1t
was so with the "Old Man of the Mountain"
and his assassins, The Mongol Tartars be.
came tired of murder and robbery. They col
ected great army in 1852, destroyed the
great castle of the Old Man and many smaller
castles, and slaughtered 1900 assassins Then
the rulers of Persia and Syria attacked them,
and killed some and drove Others away.
A part of the fugitives escaped to India
and became Thugs, and the Thugs had the
y.
They have been caught by the British often,
and are always executed when taken. But
they exist there still, and probably will do
SO for years, because the people are afraid
Of them.
The Old Man has not lived ON Mount
Lebanon for centuries. The ruins of his cas-
tie remain there and can be seen still. The
name of his followers has been carried over
the world and is given to all secret muir
derers; but probably not one in thousand
who reads about assassins knows or at least
remembers, about the Old Man of the Noun
tain, or reflects that the name of his terri
Bile followers, and that one of the worst of
crimes, is derived from the hemp-plant from
which ''hashish" is made and by which the
assassins are designated
Information of this nature is valuable, be-
cause it turns attention to what is useful as
well as interesting, and so diverts the boys
from stories about pirates, who ought to be
and often are, hanged and about robbers and
miscellaneous raseals This is just as exciting
as the story of "Sinbad" The story Of Sin
bad is not only humbug and lie, but it
is an impossibiity. This, ON the contrary, is
as true as the arrival of William Penn in
Pennsylvania, though thousands who know all
about him never heard of the Old Man of

AS he did SO, he stepped back from his po.

fireman was scarcely a second behind him in

- Indians. An elaborate treatise on
gesture languages is now in course
OF preparation, which will prove beyond
doubt that Aztecs Of ancient times practiced
the same sign language that is now used by
the Indians. For many years the chronological
Bureau of the Smithsonian Institution has de
voted much time to preparation of treatises
on North American Indians, but on account
of the difficulty in securing definite informa-
ton the study of the sign language has here
tofore been devoid of satisfactory results.
The work when completed will be an ex-
haustive treatise on the sign languages, which
were used by all the tribes, both modern and
prehistoric. Major Scott, OF the Seventh
Cavalry, has the work in charge, and he is
the best living authority on sign language,
according to the Kansas City Times.
Through the untiring efforts of the Smith
sonian Institution many new and wonderful
discoveries have been made concerning the
minute details of this era of which so little
is known. Until recently nothing authentic
was known of the high degree Of civilization
America, and many of the ideas Of scientists
could not be proved and were accepted by
the public as mere matters OF conjecture.
The entire Bureau of Ethnology has made
every effort TO unravel the mysteries that have
confronted the scientific world and so far
the work has met with remarkable success.
The researches among the picture writings
and hieroglyphies of the Aztecs have, been
most interesting Major Seotts unfinished
work goes into details which show in most
convincing manner that the Aztecs practieed
the same sign language which is now used on
the Western plains. They. attained a much
higher standard Of civilization than the mod
ern tribes have reached and consequentIv
were more proficient. They carried the prin-
eiples much further and Transcribed the ges-
lures made by the hands into written char
acters on stone and wood. From all indiea-
tions it is evident that almost all of the pic
ture writings Of Mexico were evolved from
the gesture language.
Some convincing examples are shown in the
unfinished work, and are accompanied by re-
productions Of many picture writings taken
from pueblos in New Mexico and from the
walls of old palaces in Yucatan. Individual
words are selected which appear to be best
fitted to demonstrate the theory advocated.
For example, the word rain" in the modern
Indian sign language is represented by hold
ing the hand above the head with the fingers
pointing downward. In an Aztec pictogra ph

will not understand what the Thugs of India
are unless they do, nor understand all their
histories state, nor know the origin OF the
word assassin"
More than one thousand years ago, there
was great quarrel among the Mohamme-
dams in Persia, and a conspiracy was formed
to overthrow the Abasside cahphs by a
Magian.
This conspiracy had to be secret 1t ex-
tended through Persia and Arabia and Syria
and Egypt, and one of the conspirators be-
came Caliph of Egypt.
He collected great school at Cairo and
taught everyone to obey exactly what he
was told to do, at any price.
Another school in Persia taught that every
thing is lawful and nothing true. The schools
had very fine buildings and wonderfully fine
gardens, with fruit and flowers and foun-
tains.
Boys were picked up in the streets and vii
lagos outside and given an Intoxicating drug,
called "hashish, then put into these fine
gardens and richly clothed, and made to be,
lieve they were in Paradise.
They were told that their whole duty was
TO obey their Grand Master, the Old Man of
the Mountain, who lived on Mount Lebanon
and ruled thirty cities. He had very few fol
lowers.
He had his name because he always lived
in the mountains. He had generals and am
bassadors and guards and body called ''de-
voted murderers;"
Whenever he hated anyone he sent one of
h;s subjects to kill him. These subjects were
occasionally given hashsh, a drug, to intoxi-
cate them; and because those who used it so
often committed murders secretly, all secret
murderers were finally called assassins- and
Once sultan sent an ambassador to COM

The Old Man called in several OF his sub

"Stab yourself to the heart"
The follower did so. He took another to
the edge of the precipice and said:

The man obeyed Then, turning to the
ambassador, the Old Man of the Mountain

The young engineer did not return to his

out upon the track. Both hands rested upon
the lever, and feeling that no more steam
could be needed, he shut it off, in the hope
that he would be able TO draw the fires Of
his engine when the charge was over, and thus
save it from being badly burned.
The first look ahead showed him second

were laying the frog. Old "90' had another
