They were of two kinds—orna mental and what may bo called, for t’.io lack of a better word, superstitious. Tlio former were composed of small stones, of which blue was apparently tho favorite color, set in silver or gold and joined to gether in a chain. The latter, the amu lets, were made of figures of gods, from three to seven inches long. Three or four of 'these were hung in a chain of beads. Tho sacred imagC3 were lielieved to ward off danger of infection, misfortune' or had luck. Sometimes these amulets bad no gods on them. Imt were composed of cowries or hits of stone arranged in tiie forms of locked horns, fish Or cres cents, emblematic of their supposed powers. This superstitious power of the necklace is widely spread today among people who are not very high ill civiliza tion. In South America there are found necklaces of a peculiarly marked seed which belongs to a plant growing only on the mountains, alO>g the snow line. These seeds when first gathered are blue iu color, and are strung oil strings. They are highly valued, not only for '.lair beauty hut because of the great difficulty in obtaining them. I11 the <-ld graves, which are. found now and t.,cii, tlrings of these seeds aro often discovered, and they are supposed to bring tin- greatest possible luck, especially to children. But one does not have to goamong the peons of South America or the negroes of Africa with their gee geo necklaces to find evidence of superstition. Thousands of people place necklaces of coral bocals around ilie nocks of babies with tho be lief that they will assist the children in teething, and there are many persons who wear necklaces all tlio time, think ing that they bring luck. Tlio southern negroes constantly wear their bead neck laces, 1,siking u j mu them as genuino charms, and they aro very particular about keeping them intact, holding that than Imforo and to overflow. The water found an outlet at tlio north end of Caclio valley, Idaho, and, as wo havo said, became tributary to the Columbia. Tho lake continued to overflow until the waters had cut down tlicir outlet 370 feet. During this period, unless there wero some peculiar conditions near tlio point of discharge, the lake must have been , fresh. The discharge of tho lake was finally stopped by a climatic cliango which lowered its surface below tho bot tom of the ontliw. and again tlio basin became partly if not wholly desiccated.' This second low water period lias con tinued to the present day, and Great Salt and Sevier lakes aro tlio representatives of aii' ient Bonneville. ' The largest of these representatives of tho ancient sea is Great Salt lake. In 1850 i; covered 1,750 and’in 1800 2,100 square miles. Its maximum depth is about fifty feet and its mean depth ap proximately fifteen feet.
