AN INDIAN THEORY.
The Cause of Earthquakes, Tidal
Waves md Volcanoes.

when ! lived among the Dakotas,"
said an old army officer. Il found men
who, like Buddha, gave seven years OF
their lives 10 prayer and fasting, that
they might become pure in the sight OF
God, or the Great Spirit as they call
that being. After they have proved
themselves before their people by per
forming so called miracles, such as
holding their hands and arms in boil
ing water and not being burned, shot
with poisoned arrows and not harmed.
bitten by rattlesnakes and not poi
soned and many other tests that have
witnessed, they are accepted rs holy
or wise men. The Indians believe that
they can get the word direct from God.
or the Great Spirit, the same as the
wise men and seers OF old used 10 do.
have asked these intelligences 10 tell
me about the cause OF earthquakes and
tidal waves, and they explain 1t like
this:
They say volcanoes are the safety
valves Of the earth; that the rim of the
earth Is gradually cooling. As it cools
II contracts, making the pressure on
the hot lava in the interior greater. At
last something must give way, this
rim must crack open, or the volcanoes
must burst forth and emit this com
pressed lava.
Sometimes il Is relieved in one way
sometimes in another. Should the
earth crack in midocean, where the
crust is usually thinner, then the wa.
ters of the ocean fill in, and there is a
great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of not lava, large masses
of the rim are thrown up, and Islands
appear. Sometimes they stay on the
surface of the ocean. sometimes they
fail back and are again covered with
water, but that upheaval so lifts the
water that a great wave is started for
the shore that carries death and de-
struction In its way.
MANY Of the old safety valves In
the earth are now closing up; only a
few remain. The crust is becoming SO
thick that the cooling process is mC"e
slow."-Seattle Times.
