STORY OF THE FLOOD
One of the Strange Legends of
the Yuma Indians.
CAUSE OF THE GREAT STORM.
The Tipping Up of the Earth Caused
the Deluge Which Engulfed the
World—The Mysterious Ark and the
Escape of the Chosen Few.
To this day the great deluge recorded
lu the Bible is a mystery textile North
American Indian. lie will not he led
to believe that, the flood was brought
about by the sins of man. He is
equally unwilling to believe that it was
the work of an angry God, as he could
not see how the Almighty should be.so
unjust as to punish the Indians of
America for the naughty things of a
race of people across the ocean. An¬
other reason which makes it still more
difficult for the Indian to believe that
the flood was a punishment to the
world is the fact that with him there
is no sin. In his language there is no
such word, nor docs he expect to be
punished for any of his acts.
But though there ts no equivalent to
the word sin in the Indian language
(nor iu the Indian mind until the
Christians came), the Indians have
their philosophy iu regard to what is
commonly so termed. Some of their
teachers (most of whom claimed to
have been taught the philosophy of
life and Its laws directly by disem¬
bodied spirit or by ethereal beings
from other planets) taught that ns
man lives here so Is his life hereafter
If he is quarrelsome or warlike here,
so he will be in the more spiritual life.
If he is sereno and contented here, so
he will be there, etc.
The deluge, as described by the few
who were miraculously saved, was the
more grandly terrible In that it came
on suddenly. From the highlands oc¬
cupied by the Indians they saw the
waves of the sea sweep In upon the
land and recede, only to advance with
immensely increased volume and stu¬
pendously huge breakers. Then there
came a terrific storm that seemed to
blow from all and In all directions.
The storm caused huge waterspouts
which appeared over the wild ocean
us far as the eye could see. The terri¬
fied people fled to the mountains, but
these were all soon to be submerged,
with the exception of one. This moun¬
tain which alone remained uncovered
by the flood is called Avee-heiiah
(Mountain of the Moon), yet today it is
not a very high mountain.
For awhile before the mountains be¬
came submerged there was a great
calm, aud a dense fog covered the
earth. Then suddenly a mighty bout
appeared to the awed view of the lu
dians. It approached and stopped at
the several mountains still uncovered
by the waters, and at each point where
It touched, as tf guided by invisible in¬
telligence, the Indians, as if obeying
an unspoken but potent command, en¬
tered the boat.
The boat rested first at a place called
Avee-qiia-lul (mountain peak), now Pi¬
lot Knob, on the border of Mexico
There was a mesa on the top of this
mountain, though sit this day it does
uot exist, and ou this mesa the Indiana
first celebrated their delivery. This
they did by playing sacred games,
chanting sacred songs, etc. On rocks
at the foot of this peak there are hiero¬
glyphics in an unknown language,
which Some of the Indians believe were
made by those who survived the flood.
Petri tied driftwood is still to be seen
two-thirds the distance up the sides of
Avee-heliali, which drift, the Indiana
say, was deposited by the waves of the
great flood.
The Indians, having rested for a time
on the mountain peak, again entered
the boat and were carried eastward,
eventually to a small valley. Here
they again rested, and then, leaving
the boat, they wandered from one place
to another, after a time returning to
the valley. To their surprise, the boat
was gone. It could not have floated
away, for the land was dry whereon
they had left it, the flood having sub¬
sided after a great calm of its waters.
The boat could not have crumbled to
pieces, for there had uot been time for
its decay. They could only conclude
that the mysterious boat, having ful¬
filled' its mission of preserving a few
of their race, had disappeared as mi¬
raculously as it had appeared.
The spot where the mysterious boat,
or ark, had rested was marked hv .the
Indians placing there a huge log. They
called the place Qual-jo-para (boat's
resting place). This spot is held sacred
by the Indians, who wiH seldom point
it out to strangers. Not many hundred
years ago, it is said, some Indian war¬
riors were passing the spot, and one of
them to show his skepticism shot an
arrow into the side of the great log.
Immediately a stream of blood gashed
from the spot pierced, and the skeptic
fell dead. The story of the event was
carried to all the near tribes, and since
then Indians passing the place fear ta
even look leisurely at the log.
A reason given by the Indians as the
probable cause of the flood was that
there was a tribe of Indians who, like
Colmubus, believed that the earth was
uot flat, but round, and to prove wheth
ee this theory were true thousands
fr&m the different tribes banded togeth
er and started out on a journey to find
the edge of the earth if it was flat.
The flood occurred soon after the In
dians start oil ou this journey, so that
they really believed that those udvea
hirers had reached the edge of the
earth and their weight had tipped the
earth to such an extent as to cause the
water to rush in ou the land.—Los An
geles Times.

Rome Points of Peril That Are
Dreaded by Seamen.
MERCILESS KENTISH KNOCK.
This Real Davy Jones’ Locker Is a
Vast Cemetery For All Ships That
Are Gripped by Its Relentless Sands.
Sable Island’s Fingers of Death.
The exact Jocation of Davy Jones’
locker is not shown on any ocean chart
extant, principally because it is a state
and not a place, hut if any one ocean
death trap deserves the title it Is the
Thames estuary. The British naval
department has a chart upon which
it marks the position of wrecks with
a black dot. On this chart the Thames
month tract Is a solid black spot. So
numerous have been the wrecks that
the dots run together. The point
where the black dots actually pile one
on top of another Is the Kentish Knock,
and this Is the place among all of the
ocean's danger spots that deserves the
title of Davy Jones’ locker.
At the Kentish Knock it Is not keel
shattering rocks of piercing points of
coral that wreck the ocean travelers.
It is sand, treacherous, clinging sand,
that grasps th? doomed ship with a
grip of steel and holds It firmly while
the angry sea beats it to fragments.
Many a vessel posted at Lloyd’s as
missing would tie duly accounted for
if the-Knock sand would give up Its
booty. There Is no hope for ship or
man when I-'nther Neptune asks toll at
the Kentish Knock, for the nearest
laud is twenty miles away and the
nearest lifeboat at Margate, thirty
miles away.
The sands of the ocean are far more
dangerous than the rocks. The sand
banks extend over more space, tliere
fore offer more points of contact than
the rocks, which usually rise In one
slender pinnacle. The waters flow over
them in smooth wuves, aud there are
no warning breakers.
Next to the Thames rnouth tract in
point of danger is the Hugh, the salt
water river ou which Calcutta stands.
The most trying part of a large vessel’s
voyage from New York to Calcutta Is
the last few miles of this calm river,
in this strange river In windless weath¬
er aud flat, calm water vessels have
been lost, dashed to pieces on the ever
shifting sand banks by the force of
the tides. The sands grasp the kee! of
tlie marked vessel, aud she stops, hut
the tide moves on with relentless force,
and the helpless ship Is carried over
on her beam ends. She careens over
and founders with all on board. One
of the worst shoals In the Xlugli bears
the name James aud Mary. It was
the name of a great Indian merchant
shipwrecked on the sunken sand banks.
Another danger point dreaded by the
master mariner has neither sand nor
rocks, but a great submarine waterfall
In the English Channel there Is a point
Just beyond the Shambles banks where
there Is a sudden drop In the sea hot
tom. The channel tides sweep over
the banks and down this sudden drop
creating rapids equal In fury to those
of Niagara. The American ship Georgian
foundered In Portland race, the name
by which this danger point Is known,
and all hands went down with her.
Ships bound to New York from Eu¬
rope [mss quite near a deadly hidden
shoal which runs out from Sable Xs
land, lying off Sable cape, in Nova
Scotia. The shoal runs out for miles In
five directions like the fingers of a
great hand reaching out for what it
can destroy. When the gales blow-,
heavy seas boom upon the shoals with
sufficient force to shatter the stanchest
vessel afloat, and when the wind ceases
the benches are strewn with wreckage
and the bodies of those who have per
[shed. The distance from the shore Is
too great aud the surf too heavy for
the life savers to reach a struggling
vessel, and few lives are saved at this
point. Ten vessels have been wrecked
In this trap In a single day.
The rocky danger points in the ocean
have nearly all been tagged, and light¬
houses have been erected ou the most
dangerous -all except one. There Is no
lighthouse on the Virgin rock, and
there never will be. Out in the uuid-At
ianttc a glaut pinnacle rears its head
up from the ocean floor and endeavors
vainly to reach the surface of the ser
It is too short by about eighteen feet.
There It stands with its sharp point
hiddeu by the ocean waves, waiting to
pierce the bottom of some unsuspecting
vessel and send It down to join the pile
of ships - ribs and dead men’s bones
that litter the floor around Vts base.
The waves seem to be iu league with
the rock, for If a vessel of light draft
tries to pass over Its head the waves
shoot it down into a trough at the bot¬
tom of which the point of the rock is
waiting to rip out her keel.
These danger spots, however, are but
annexes to the real Davy Jones’ locker,
the Kentish Knock, that cemetery of
ships and men where dripping ghosts
of master mariners and their men flit
over the ruins of their vessels.—B. It.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local treatment as the can¬
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf¬
ness is caused bv an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
thr Eustachian Tube. When
this tube.is si flamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closeu, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inllarnation can
be taken out and this tube re¬
stored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forev¬
er; nine cases out» of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is noth¬
ing but an inflamed condition of
t he mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred

Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.
You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can’t gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
it is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because Die
body requires that you eat a suffic¬
ient amount- of food regularly.
But tills food must be digested,
and it must lie digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can’t do it,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di¬
gest .the food.
Nothing else can do this. When
the stomach is weak it needs help;
you must help it by giving it rest,
and Kodol will do that.
