QUEER INDIAN BELIEFS.
Th* Fiv# Worlds of the Bella Coola
Sun Worshipers.
There is au odd feature In the theol
ogy of the small Indian tribe of the
Bella Coola which inhabit British Co
lumbia In about latitude 5*. They be
lieve that there are iive worlds, one
above the other, and the middle one is
our owu world, the earth. Above it
are two heavens, and under it are two
underworlds. In the upper heaven Is
the supreme deity, who is a woman,
and she doesn't meddle much with the
affairs in the second world below her.
The zenith is the center of the lower
heaven, and here Is the house of the
gods, in which live the sun and the
rest of the deities.
Our own earth Is believed to be an
island swimming in the ocean. The
first underworld from the earth is in
habited by ghosts, who cau return,
when they wish, to heaven, from which j
place they may be sent down to our ;
earth. If then they misbehave again
they are cast into the lower of the un
derworlds. and from this bourn no
ghostly traveler returns.
The Bella Coola are sun worshipers,
for Senex. the sun. the master of the
house of gods, who is called the father
and the sacred one. Is the only deity
to whom the tribe pray. Each family
of the Bella Coola has its own tradl
tlons and its owu form of the cur- '
rent traditions, so that in the mytholo
gy of the tribe there are countless con
tradictions. When any one not a mem
ber of a clan tries to tell a tradition
which does not belong to his clan it
Is like a white man trying to tell an
other's joke? he is considered as ap
propriating the property right which
does not belong to him.
SMOKELESS POWDER.
It Came Through Experimenting For
High Explosives.
The idea is very general that smoke
less powder in being practically
smokeless achieves its greatest eud.
but as a matter of fact its smokeless
feature is incidental and was an ac
cident.
When the idea of modern loug range !
gnus was conceived it was at once ap
parent that the old black powder lack- ;
ed explosive force, aud thousands of
experiments were made with various
chemicals to procure a powder of high
explosive properties, and this was at
last accomplished.
Wlieu the new powder was tried. ,
much to the surprise of every one It :
was found that practically no smoke ,
followed the explosion, though this
could of course have l>een predicted
had the question ever arisen. The
volume of smoke from black powder
Is due mainly to the quautity of char
coal In the powder, an Ingredient not
found in the smokeless explosive.
Smokeless powder, though a great j
boon to the sportsman. Is of question
able value on the battlefield, so far as
Its smokelessness is concerned. The
smoke clouds of old days were fre
quently most advantageously used to ;
cloak movements of troops and bat
teries and really interfered with the
enemy much more than with the j
troops creating the smoke.? Exchange.
Saved by Fireflies.
The gigantic tropical fireflies which
swarm In the forests and canebrakes i
of most of the low lying West ludian
islands once proved the salvation of
the ci^y of Santo Dorajru-'O- A JJojJy of
buccaneers, headed By the notorious
Thomas Cavendish, had laid all their
plans for a descent upon the place. In
tending to massacre the Inhabitants
aud carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actually
put off their boats for that purpose
As they approached the land, however,
rowing with mnttled oars, they were j
greatly surprised to see an Infinite ,
number of moving lights in the woods j
which fringed the bayou up which
they had to proceed, and, concluding j
that the Spaniards knew of their ap- 1
proach. they put about and regained ;
their ship without attempting to land.
The Wonderful Banana.
Some people believe that the banana
was the original I'urbidden fruit of the
garden of Eden. In any case it is one
of the curiosities of the vegetable
kingdom, being not a tree, a palm, a
bush, a shrub, a vegetable or a herb,
but a herbaceous plant with the status
of a tree. Although it sometimes at
tains a height of thirty feet, there Is
no woody fiber in any purt of its struc
ture, and the bunches growing on the
dwarf banana plant are often heavier
than the stalk which supports them.
No other plant gives such a quantity
of food to the ai re as the banana. It
yields 44 times more by weight than
the potato aud 133 times more than
wheat. Moreover, no insect will at
tack It. and it is always immune from
diseases of any kind.
Convinced.
"Do you thiuk a college education
helps a man in business?"
"Sure. I've had two college boys
here workin' for we duriu" the past
rear, and I was afraid to discharge
??ither one of 'eui for fear they'd find
fault with my grammar when I done
it."? Chicago Record-Herald. ?

PENN'S BIG
RELAY CARNIVAL
Entire Country to Be Represent
ed at Corning Meeting.
RECORD ENTRY LIST EXPECTED
Athletes From Over Two Hundred
Universities and Schools to Be Guests
of Pennsylvania Men on Franklin
Field April 30.
The Athletic Association of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania will give Its
sixteenth annual Intercollegiate and In
terscholastlc relay race meeting on
Franklin field. April 30, open to all the
colleges of the T'uited States and Can
ada. There will be three races to de
termine the college championship of
America, and they will be open to any
college or university that desires to en
ter. One race will be for a mile, each
man to run a quarter of the distance.
BILLY PACLL, PENNB SENSATIONAL BUN
KER.
[Paull. Pennsylvania's crack runner, who
established a new Intercollegiate record
for the mile last year. Is expected to
eompcte In the relay races to be held on
Franklin field April SO.]
The second will be a four mile event,
each uian to nm a mile. The third
contest will be a two mile affair, each
man to run a half mile. The Univer
sity of Pennsylvania will be found rep
resented iu ail three, and It is ex
pected that Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Cornell, Columbia, Chicago, Wisconsin,
Michigan and several other big uni
versities will euter in the comiug races.
Last year this meet reached the high
water mark, with over sixty colleges
present and close to 175 schools, the
entire country, with the exception of
the Pacific coast slope, being repre
sented in both the scholastic and col
lege events. An even better record is
expected this year.
The management has sent out the In
vitations to the colleges, and many ac
ceptances have been received. Some
changes have been made In the college
groupings, but in the main they are
the same as in former years. They are
not hard and fast, but may be changed
upon well founded protest.
In addition to the championship and
group races among the colleges there
will be the one mile freshman cham
pionship and the special events open
only to college men, graduate or un
dergraduate. These are as follows:
One hundred yard dash, 120 yard hur
dle, high jump, broad jump, shot put,
hammer throw, discus throw and pole
vault. Gold watches will be given in
these events. It is expected that close
to 200 teams will compete.
A silk banner will be given to the
winning team iu each relay as a col
lege trophy, and to each member of
the winning team a gold watch. Each
<>f the members of the team that fin
ishes second will get a silver cup.
Cups will l>e given as third prizes. Sec
i ond prizes will be given only when
| four teams contest and third prizes
when six teams contest.
One Cold Saved.
Logic- is logic, whether It touches the
affairs of natious or a cold In the
head. The conviction, says London
I Tit-Bits, was forced upon a Liverpool
woman whose coachman, although lie
had been ill for several days, appeared
; one morning with his hair closely crop
! ped.
"Why, Dennis." said the mistress,
'whatever possessed you to have your
hair cut while you had such a bad
cold?"
?'Well, mum," replied the unabashed
Dennis, "I do be takin' notice this long
while that whiniver I have uae hair
cut I take a bad cowld, so 1 thought
1 to meself that now, while 1 had the
' cowld ou to me. it would be the time
of all others to go and get me hair cut
tin' done, for by that course I would
save meself Just one cowld. Do you
see the power of me reasonln', mum?"
How She Loved Him.
He? When shall we wed? She? Oh,
! John! Why do you take our engage
i ment so seriously?? Fllegende Blatter.
WORK THAT TELLS
Th?i Kind Alaskan R tartar* Appre
ciate
Cures that last are ouros that tell.
To thoroughly know the virtues of a
medicine you must Investigate the
cures and see If they prove perma- j
nent Doan's Kidney Pills stand this i
test, and plenty of proof exists right ;
here In this locality. People who test
ifled years ago to relief from backache
kidney and urinary disorders, now de
dare that relief was permanent and
the cure perfect Can any Alaskan
1 sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
I J. Prenatt, 311 Third Ave., N., Se
i attle, Wash., says: *'The relief I re
ceived from Doan's Kidney Pills over
three years ago, has been permanent
and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm
the public statement I gave in favor
of the remedy at that time. For two
years I had attacks of backache and
my kidneys were so weak that the
least cold I contracted settled in them
making my condition worse. Doan's
Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the
pains in my back and regulated the
passages of the kidney secretions. A
the present time there is not a symp
tom of my former trouble remaining.
I adv'-,e anyone afflicted with kidney
complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills
a trial."
