1.-THE traditions among the Indiansl
Of America should be of particular in
terest to us. The use made by Co
lumbus his knowledge of eclipses is
we'll known. When he and his compan-
ions were facing starvation as prison
ers OF the Indians, he threatened to
deprive them Of the light of the moon
II they did not bring forth the provis-
ions which they had promised. They
at first paid no attention to his threats.
But when the eclipse began, as he
knew 1t would. they brought him abun.
dance OF supplies and looked upon him
| us being with super.human power,
Among many scattered Indian tribs
dogs were supposed to have some par
ticular relation to the moon. probably
due to their baying at II. There tribes
would thrash their dogs soundly dur.
ing an eclipse, because they thought
the Big Dog was swallowing the moon,
and that by whipping the little ones
they could make him desist. The Pc
ruvians, whose wonderful ancient CIV
ilization Is being opened up to us by
recent explorations, were among this
group. Like the Greeks, they thought
some dreadful calamity was portended
by an eclipse. in addition to striking
their dogs to make them howl. they
made noise on their musical instru.
ments. hoping thus to arouse the pity
OF the moon and so avert the disaster.
Mexican mythology states that when
there was an eclipse OF the sun or
moon one of these bodies was beins
devoured by the other. Here also the
people endeavored TO stop this pro.
ceeding by making unearthly noises.
A very salutary superstition prevailed
among the orinoko Indians. At the
time OF an eclipse they seized their
hoes and labored with great vigor on
their crops thinking that the moon
was holding herself in anger at their
habitua1 laziness.
