KANAA BURIAL GROUNDS.
eolivis's Eearsome Valley Of the Shad-
oW of Death.

oW OF Death.
There is valley in Bolivia. South
America, which might well be called
the Valley Of the Shadow Of Death 1t
has been inhabited for On indefinite
period Of years by the Kanaa Indians,
who are kindred to the various South
American tribes and number now onl!
a few hundred souls.
That they were once very powerful
tribe is indicated by the condition OF
the land which they as a tribe still IN
habit. One cannot travel any distance
through their land without coming
upon the old and forsaken burial
grounds Of the kanaa dead. These
places cannot be called grareyards, for
the bodies are not buried, but rather
placed upon elevated platforms, wrap
ped in the garments Of death and
bound to the crossbeams that they
may not be displaced
In one Of these burial grounds there
will be probably fifty high skeleton
platforms. and on each will lie from
three to FIVE Of the kanaa dead. Ihe
air in that part Of Bolivia is very pure
and preservative. for it is one Of the
highest plateaus Of the continent, al
though Kanaa valley is just little
below the plateaus height A traveller
passing through that land at night and
by moonlight would be awe stricken at
the gloomy vision those graveEards
present.

length. some 100000 cubic yards Of
sand. The prevailing westerly winds
continue picking up the surface par
ticles from the westward slope. whirl
them over to the inward slope, where
they are again deposited, and the entire
ridge by this means alone moves grad
ually inward IN the course Of years
there has thus been formed Z. complex
system Of dunes, all approximately
parallel with the coast and with one
