Treaty Recorded ON Rock

Comparatively few persons know
that a full-blooded Iroquois Indian is
allowed to hunt or fish anywhere in
New York state at any time and that
this fact is recorded in Indian sym
bolics on large flat-surfaced rock near
Smallwood, n. Y. TIE unique history
in connection with this rock was
brought out recently. The fishing and
hunting concession was a part of the
original pact between the Indians and
the colonies In 1926 a hunter kicked
away some moss and discovered the
symbolic pictures in stone. but not un-
til some years later was its existence
brought to light. Later delegation of
Indians visited the historic stone and
assisted in tie translation.

Green, White and Yellow
Colors Of Mexico's Flag

The colors Of the Mexican flag,
green, white and red, are symbolical
of the aspirations Of Mexico at the
time it began Its life as an inde-
pendent nation. However, states an
authority in the Washington Post, the
meaning of the national coat of arms
is much more deeply rooted in the his
tory, in the traditions and in the per-
sonality Of the country. The eagle
which perched upon cactus plant,
strangling a serpent, Is rich in mean
ing, rich, in symbolism. For centuries
on end 1t has lived in the hearts Of
the Mexicans, in the hearts Of the peO-
pie who descended from the first set
tiers of the Valley of Mexico; and be.
sides being very much alive in cher
ished traditions, 1t may have lived in
reality; it must have lived in reality.
In the beginning Of the Fourteenth
century the Aztecs, an Indian tribe,
wandered into the rich valley Of Mex
leo from the north, and spread
throughout that part Of the country. In
1926, having halted on the shore of the
principal lake, they beheld, perched
upon a cactus plant, royal eagle OF
extraordinary size and beauty, with
a serpent in its talons and its broad
wings opened to the sun. This was
considered an excellent omen by the
priests and the place was chosen as
the site of great Aztec city. The
foundations of this future metropolis
were laid at once by sinking piles into
the shadows, for the low marshes were
half buried in water. Such were the
beginnings of the Great Tenochtitlan,
capital of mighty empire whose de-
gree of civilization astounded the con-
quering Spaniards led by Cortez into
Mexico.
During colonial times the nopal and
the eagle appeared at various times
as decorative motives in the coat Of
arms Of the City Of Mexico. When
independence was attained in 1921
the tricolored flag was adopted, and an
eagle rerched upon the nopal Cactus
plant) and strangling a serpent, be-
came the national coat of arms.

History of Slavery in
New World an Ugly One

The history of slavery in the New
world is an ugly one, replete with
stories of the inbuman cruelty which
was often inflicted by slave-owners
upon the unfortunate wretches who,
through accident of birth, were
doomed to a life of servitude. Prob
ably nowhere were slaves more harsh
ly treated than in the British-owned
island Of Jamaica IN the West Indies,
declares a writer Iii the Philadelphia
Record.
During the early days Of the colony,
thousands of negroes were seized In
Africa and imported to work on the
large plantations. The sufferings of
these unfortunates is almost indescrib-
able. They were packed like cattle IN
the pitch-dark, reeking holds Of the
slave ships, chained hand and foot to
the walls and floors. Often pestilence
broke out among them, and they were
allowed to die and rot by the crew,
who, fearing to catch the disease
themselves, lowered food and water to
them through an opening in the deck.
The ship resounded with the means
and prayers of the dying the
screams of mother clutching dead
baby in her withered arms.

Formation of Quicksand

Quicksands usually occur on fiat
shores underlain by stiff clay or other
impervious materials. They appear to
be formed by the continued collection
OF water within the sand bank which
is prevented from running off by the
underlying impervious layer. The
grains of quicksand have rounded sur
faces. Quicksand is Of very light
weight. The infiltrsted water sepa-
rates and lubricates the particles, rem
dering them unable to support heavy
weight.
