Cherokee Once Powerful.

The Cherokees are an important
tribe of North American Indians. The
name means upland field. the tribe be-
Ing peculiarly upland. They may have
so designated themselves 10 their first
European visitors. They are probably
the people known additionally TO the
Delawares as Talligewt. a powerful
body which once occupied the val
legs Of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers,
and afterward was driven south by
the Delawares and Iroquois. When
first known to Europeans their center
was In the southern Alleghenies. and
they occupied the mountains OF south
ern Virginia, North and South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama n Tennes-
see. Their chief settlements were on
the head waters of the Savannah and
Tennessee rivers, and were respec-
lively called Elati Tsalaki, or Lower
Cherokee, and Atali Tsalaki. or Up
per Cherokee, speaking two different
dialects. AS the white settlers pressed
upon them they retreated westward
until by the treaty Of 1885, they sold
all their remaining country, and the
main body removed TO a tract assigned
to them west Of the Mississippi. A
considerable number remained be-
hind, and gradually concentrating In
western North Carolina, are now
known as the eastern band of Chero-
KEGS. numbering about 1000.

In a paper dealing with the Univer-

fects of long daylight and long dark
ness In high ATTITUDES. the Scientific

As to the former, apart from the
tendency to shorten sleeping hours In
order to make the greatest possible
use of the long day. there seems to be
a kind OF stimulation Of the nervous

especially noticed in newcomers, but
the natives are not exempt from II.
On the other hand, the coming of the
long winter night is followed by a kline
Of reaction, though no general depres-
sion of vitality is apparent.
With the cessation of work the
period of ~sociability begins, and the
circumstances favor a lapse of self
control. This Is the time when Arctic

for instance, is a form OF hysterical
