Frior Bacon's Brazen
Head Is Old Legend

According to a legend prevalent
in the Middle ages, Roger Bacon
(1214-1292) spent seven years con-
structing a brazen head, which he
fancied would tell him how to sur
round the island of Great Britain
with a wall Of brass. This head
was to speak within a month after
Its completion, but no special hour
was set for so doing. Bacon, accord
fngly, set his servant to watch, spe-
ctAlly enjOining him to notify
his master in case the head should
speak. AT the end of the first half
hour the servant heard the head
exclaim: Thine is"; at the end Of
the second half hour, Thine was"
and at the end of the third half
hour, Times past" whereupon it
fell with loud crash and was shat
tered to pieces. The servant neglect
ed to call Bacon, thinking he would
not care to be disturbed by such a
trifie, and thus the knowledge nee
essary to build the brazen wall was
never acquired.
This belief in the existence of
talking brazen head was widely
spread In the Middle ages. Gerbert.
q French churchman, is said to
have made such a head; and AL
bertus Magnus is alleged to have
constructed an entire man of brass.

This was believed death. Nova

The legend probably has a basis
of actual occurrence behind it. 1t
is quite possible the Indians adop-
ted these heroic remedies. Truth
is the same on the shores of the
Mediterranean or the banks of the
Euphrates as on the rim of the
Grand Canyon in Navajo land. AS
far back as the earliest dawn of
recorded history, ancient peoples
had already learned that marriage
between blood relatives is bad, and
many of the early races had ban
ned it.
There is all probability that a
similar set of facts led to the same
deductions in the minds of the an
cient Navajo as with the old He
braic or Greek tribes.
Facts will finally register them
selves on the human consciousness

NAVAJO INDIANS HAVE A GREAT FEAR
OF DEAD AS SHOWN BY THEIR ACTIONS

Gap Trading Post is 95 miles
north of Flagstaff on the road to
Lee Ferry. Seven miles farther
north is the last of the Indian
stores on that road, the Cedar
Ridge Trading Post. To the east
on the Keam's Canyon and other
roads, north of Holbrook in Ma
vajo county, there are trading
posts even greater distances from
the railway.
The Indians often travel on their
scraggly ponies or in their light
wagons for a hundred miles and
more to these isolated trading
posts to supply their simple needs
of coffee, sugar, calico and to-
bacco, and to barter wool, hides,
sheep or pinon nuts. The mer-
chants also act as money lenders to
the Indians, who pawn their tur-
quoise and silver jewellery for
small loans of cash or as guaran-
Much of the Navajo jewelry which
finds its way onto the market rep
resents unredeemed pledges of
the Indians with the traders.
For many miles south of Lee

base of a great sandstone cliff
which is an enormous incline. 1t
is closely paralelled by one of the
greatest geologic faults in Ari-
zona. The ground-up whitish
lime material within the fault it.
self stands fifty to hundred feet
abov the silt floor of the valley.
It is a conspicuous and interesting
geological feature of that section
of Arizona.
The Navajo have a great fear Of
the dead, whom they appear to re
gard as unclean. Dead bodies Of
their people are quickly disposed
of in hastily made and shallow
graves or in inches in the cliffs.
Sometimes they are even aban-
doned following death. On occa-
sions when the Navajo are con-
vinced that one of their family Is
dying, they will drag the sick per-
son out of the hogan. Usually the

Close your eyes and walk at a
