Ave. sae lid iv ee LEGEND OF CREATION As Told by the Indians of the Pacific Coast. How Spee-ow Climbed Into the World Above the Sky and Stole the Daylight Box. Among the Indians of the Pacific coast the doings of the Spee-ow, the Maker or Changer, form the subjects of a number of popular stories. These tales treat of the beginning of the world, and are extremely interesting. The history of Spee-ow, as heard by the flickering light of a log fire, runs thus, though it is difficult to give ex- actly the Indian rendering: A long, long time ago there was no light in the world; it was always night, and the People went about in darkness. The chief Tah-mah-na-wis was a tall man with a long white beard. He was never seen, but was known to the people by his deeds. Hig name was Spee-ow, the Maker. By his magic he found that there was another country, beyond the sky, ruled over by the spider. This spider chief was very large, and carried a long rope with him to help him in his travels about his land. One day when he was on a journey he came to a place where the ground, which 1s our sky, had cracked open a little. Not knowing what this meant, the spider tyee (tyee means chief) let down his rope to ascer- tain how deep the hole was. He let down 80 much rope that he was unable to pull it up again; so he tied it to a tree and went to get help. While he was gore the blue jay, who is always prying into other people's busines the hole to learn what was there. lowed the rope until he came to the coun- try below, where we live. There, by his noise, he attracted the attention of Spee- ow. Spee-ow immediately investigated the matter, and saw the blue jay, who had alighted on the rope. The great Tah-mah- na-wis at once started to climb up and catch the bird; but when he approached, the jay ascended a little way and again alighted. Up climbed Spee-ow, and up flew the jay, until both passed through the he in the sky and were in the country of spider. This place Spee-ow found to be a fine land, much Ike what our world now ts; and he thought he would look around and learn how to make his own domain re- semble the new region. As he did not know what or whom he might meet, Spee- ow changed nimself into a beaver, and went to a swamp to hide until he could as- certain the nature of the tnhabitants. Now It chanced that the spider tyee had set a beaver trap in this very swamp and poor Spee-ow was caught fast. The e came to visit his trap, and, thinking ow was a beaver, killed him and bor: to the lodge. But Spee-ow being a 1 Tah-mah-na-wis, was not really killed; still lived in the dead body of the bes and in this manner was carried into t tyee's wigwam. When the spider ¢ reached his home he skinned the be threw the body into a corner, and stre the pelt ic dry. Then he went out. Soon he returned, bringing with him the sun, moon and stars and the medicine box, with which he made the daylight. All these he put in their regular places, and again i parted. Spee-ow saw his opportunity to o tain ght, so he jumped up, resumed hi own form, took the sun, moon, stars and the medicine box, and ran to the hole where the rope was hanging. On his way he plucked a fir tree, then started to slide down the rope with his load. Owing to his haste and the heavy load, he dropped the stars at the very beginning of his descent, and they are still up there, in the sky. The moon also escaped his grasp, but the sun and the medicine box containing the daylight the fir tree he brought safely to the ea and, when he arrived, he opened the da light box and threw the sun into the a! Thus the world was first illumined. ow still lives “beyond the moun- From his dwelling place he hurls forth the sun every morning, and it falls into the ocean. Then Spec-ow shuts the daylight box and mikes darknets, so that he can journey unseen by the people, and sets out to bring back the sun.- This tip takes all night, and each morning, after he opens his box, he throws the sun again. If he did not open the daylight box he covld not see where the sun fell, so there is y while the sun is in the air. Spee-ow always throws the sun the same distance, but the winter nights are long because the rain and storms make his journey slow and difficult. Also, in the summer, his people desire more time to work and travel, and Spee-ow opens the daylight box very early, and so ends the day. He cun make a quicker trip after the sun in summer, because the roads are good. The fir tree he planted near his lodge, and by his magic he increased the trees unt they covered the land. The spider tyee, when he found that he had been robbed, tried to pull up his rope, but, in the darkne: for his daylight box was gone—it slipped from his hands and fell to the ground, close by the lodge of Spee-ow, who immediately by his magic turned it in- to stone. On the Snoqualmie river may be seen a curious rock formation, resembling a column of paint squeezed out of a gigantic paint tube. This, the Indians assure you, is the spider tyee’s rope. The tyee sits by the hole in the sky, close to the moon, and sends down many little spiders to look for his lost rope. You can see these spiders floating in the air in summer time, but they cannot find the rope, because it is stone. The tyee every now and then shades the moon as he himself peers down and searches for his property. ———.—__ X RAYS EXPERIMENTS. Photographing Curious Objects Un- der the Roentgen Beams. Prof. Fox, at Georgetown University, has, like hundreds of others, been conducting experiments with the so-called Roentgen rays, the university laboratory having a gratifying collection of Crookes tubes and other accessories. Among the experiments undertaken was the photographing of a chick in the egg. This was not a success, although a coin placed inside an egg shell was reproduced nicely. A most interesting phenomenon appeared in photographing a coin with a glass rod lying on it. That part of the photograph of the coin where it was covered by the rod seemed enlarge as if the X rays are susceptible to the or- dinary laws of refraction. All these pho- tographs were taken through a vulcanite plate holder. The experiments showed that tungstate of calcium was the best fluores- cent material for use with the X rays. Dr. Kingyoun of the university medical fac- ulty has been experimenting successful) to show the use of X rays fh getting im- pressions of bacteria. —_—__ BOOTH-TUCKERS’ CHILD DEAD. It Was but Six Weeks Old and Was 111 When Mrs. Tucker Left England. At Salvation Army headquarters, in New York, yesterday, a cablegram was received ‘from London announcing the death of the infant child of the Booth-Tuckers. The child, which was six weeks old, was taken ill after the embarkation of its parents on board the steamer St. Louis at Southamp- ton, and a telegram to that effect caused the father to return to London, as tele- grafhed to The Star? Mrs. Booth-Tucker, however, was too ill to be taken off the steamer, and came on to America, arriving Saturday. Commissioner Booth-Tucker, be- lieving the child was out of danger, sailed on the Majestic last week. Imniediately after receipt of the news of the Booth-Tucker child's death there came to Salvation Army headquarters word that the daughter of Mrs. Booth-Hellberg, in charge of the Indian province, had died Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Mars Booth-Hell- berg have been in the Punjab ever since the recall of Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker from the Indian command. Se Worlds Type Setting Record. The world’s record for the greatest num- ber of ems set in one hour on a Mergen- thaler linotype was broken Sunday night at St. Louis by B. J. Mensing, a com- pesitor on the Post Dispatch. In that time he set up 10,685-ems, 585 more than did Green in Chicago, who held the former rec- ord. he event was a seven-hour cont between Robert Francis of the Globe Dem- ocrat and B. J. Mensing, for a purse of $200. About $1,000 changed hands on the result, Mensing won the contest, setting 74,100 ems to 45,800 by his opponent, an had ten minutes lost time.
