DREADED SNAKE UNDER FALLS
According to Indian Superstition, Rep

Destruction Of Villages.

Formerly. according to Indian su-
perstition, there dwelt under Niagara
falls q gigantic snake, which now and
then would make Its way to an Indian
village and coil itself around the town.
1t swallowed the people, and made
itself further obnoxious by poisoning
the springs and wells with its spittle.
The Hiwassee river, in the south
ern Allegheny region, is infested by
an enormous leech. Occasionally q
certain ledge Of rock Is exposed when
the water Is low, SO that people are
tempted to cross over 1t. Anybody
who tries to do so, however, is ineyi-
tably seized and sucked down.
Near the head OF the Savannah
river are the famous Talula falls. II
has been well known for centuries
that the Thunder Spirit lives beneath
these falls. and Its roaring may at
any time be heard in the noise Of the
cataract.
One hundred miles to the southeast

Dead mountain, which Is the abode OF

mate. In Santa Fe, through the ef-
ports Of the School Of American Re-
search, there has been fostered a rem
a%issance Of this ancient American
architecture. n of the fairest results
being the Museum building, or Tenn
pie Of st. Francis and the Martyrs.

produced in the facade, without de-
