their prairie homes to join the show.

first saw city. They were so as

that they actually became timid and
could not be persuaded to leave the

Indians are keen witted and soon be-
come accustomed to anything and ev-

the show this season return to their
tepees in the fall they will be greater

will have to tell and the construction

sun worshippers. To the sun they
attribute all things. The sun-their
God-makes day; causes the rain to
fall; the crops to grow; governs their
health; causes the flocks to increase
and their own ranks to multiply.
Mr.. Edward Arlington, who with
the Miller Brothers is an equal part

and who has made an exhaustive
study of the Indian says: There is no
question but what the Indians are sun
worshippers and have always been.
This is particularly true of the Pueb-

were among the cliff dwellers, and

the Pueblos, it is evident among all

creation Of a new star are shown.
In the first are seen two great dead
suns'-which may be larger than our

or elongated, like two dogs Juggling at

And. IN fact. these two dead stars
are pulling against one another. and

their mutual attraction This seems
