Studying Mokls Customs.
This montn two score of American
ethnologists and urcheologlsts, besides
some from Europe, have gathered In
the Mokl puebloy to study the cus
toms, habits, thought und traditions
jrf man In prehistoric America, as they
lbvo coino down through generations
ef Mokls.
Spanish adventurers under Cor
onado reckoned In 1542 that there
-were about 111,000 souls In tho Tusuy
an confederacy of Mokl tribes. Now
thcro are but a few hundred Mokls.
They uro known also as llopls; und
their name slgnlties "peuce loving."
They have u tradition that several
hundred years ugo tho warlike
Apaches waged a terrific wur ugulust
the tribe. The remnant of tho Mokls
Hcd In terror und took refuge on tho
two great tablelands of red sandstone
which rise sheer boiuo 70 feet out of
a vast sea of sand. Tho great rocky
formation has been a verltablo Ul
bre.tar of dofense to the tribe and from
the day Uie nncestrul Mokls fled they
and their descendants- have' dwelt
tbero isolated, llulu is the all-essential
element in the success of Mokl
agriculture, and in tho desert region
rains como capriciously.
Tho date of the Mokl snake dance
jls determined by an old medicine mnn
In tho tribe. When during August the
sun nt Its setting glints the sacred
rock Unit stands before tho door of
the tribal klva, tho old medicine man,
lloul, mounts tho highest point at
either Walpl or Orulbl and solemnly
gives notice that 10 sunsets hence tho
bolemn snnko ceremonies will take
place. He ends by Invoking all to be
gin immediate preparation for the oc
casion. The women aro to bnku for
a tribal fenst, to dress themselves und
their children In their best irarments,
and the men are to perform their bev
eral parts In tho ceremonies.
A certain number of young men, ap
pointed for tho purpose, start out ut
next dawn to perform their pnrt of
the preparation for tho dance. They
are Jakulnll (snnko gatherers). They
roam over tho desert with a forked
stick in one hand and n bag made of
skins in tho other. They know where
lo look for rattlesnakes and boiuo
(times they get more than 200 serpents
In a week. They plant the forks of
(their Btlcks over the neck of tho re
(Cumbent enako, and by an adroit move
ment throw the reptllo Into the bag.
fThe serpents are brought to tho pueblo
(and turned over to tlio old snake
rests.
The Preliminaries.
I Six days after the ofllclal announce
-
ment of the annual snake ceremonies,
mysterious rites among 27 of the fore
most men In the Mokl tribe begin In
n chamber hewn Into the rock down be
low the pueblo. This Is the klva,
the holy of holies of Mokl belief.
Dr. J. Walter Fewks of the Smithson
ian Institution Is the only white person
who hns ever entered the klva, and ho
eays that the ceremonies there consist
In washing the serpents captured and
brought there by young men. The old
men engago In bnrbarlc Incantations,
and chant appeals to the serpentB to
bear messages of devotion and friend
ship to tho powers thnt rule the rnln
clouds. The snake priests wear noth
ing to protect themselves from the rep
tiles' fangs. Each day they wash the
rattlesnakes, sprinkle sacred cornmeal
on tho serpents' heads, and deposit tho
crentures In Jars. Meanwhile the Mokl
housewives cook and bako In prepara
tion for the event of the ycer tho
snnke dance on the plaza of the pu
eblo. Tlio gaudiest tribal finery Is
brought forth and made ready. White
and Nnvajo Indian visitors come across
the desert to see the public ceremonies
nnd for a week all Moklland bustles
und buzzes.
At the setting of the sixteenth sun
from the ofllclal announcement by old
Hon I the Minke dance takes place. Late
In the afternoon the spectators arrange
themselves In vantage spots overlook
ing the plnzn where the dance Is per
formed. Some 12,500 persons r.re gen
erally on hand to see the ancient mnr-
voIoub ceremony. Tho roofs of tho

Mokl
children with scnrccly n stitch on them
sll along the cornices with their brown
legs hanging down. There nre cow
boys from all over tho territory, report
ers from newspapers, scientists from
the cities, nnd hundreds of Indians In
brilliant and (uclnt costumes. It Is
a rare scene; "one fit for a snlon pic
ture," said an enthusiastic artist. Tho
white people laugh, the dogs and chil
dren make tumult, while every ono
nwnlts the opening of the dance. At
Just about six o'clock, when the sun
Is dropped Into the yellow desert
away to tho west, some ono calls:
"Here they come." Instantly there Is
silence. Everybody knows thnt tho
antetopo men young athletic snake
dancers are at last Issuing from their
stone chambers. Tho braves are
scantily clad, and on ench leg .s a
small terrapin shell, In which aro
placed small pebbles, which rattle as
tho warrior moves, and make of him,
In sound nt least, a human rattler.
Tho dancers are smeared with red,
white nnd black paints. Around cr.ch
brow Is bound a flaming handkerchief,
tho upper forehead being painted a
deep black, and the lower half with
black and white bands.
Live Snakes In Their Mouths.
The band forms In n clrclo Rnd a
sack of serpents Is brought forth and
Is placed In tho branches of n cotton
wood shrub known ns tho klsl Just
where It has stood on Mokl dance
dnys for countless generations, A
chief, hideously painted, opens tho
sack and as each brave marches past
thrusts his naked arm within and Jerks
from It several writhing serpents,
which he hands to the buck. The
snako dancer bends nnd seizes the
snakes by their middle with Jils teeth,
while he holds one or two serpents In
each hand. The serpents rattle, hiss
and straggle while tho human cap
tors, gesticulating nnd stamping, Join
In a solemn rhythmic movement, In
which, after ench man has been sup
plied with serpents, the wholo band is
soon participating.
The Mokl women and tho several
hundred Mokl bucks who do not pur-
ticlpato in the dancing at first sit In
muto owe. As tho danco proceeds the
red-skinned spectators start a low hum
ming, which grailually develops. Loud
er and louder rlrfes the din of dis
cordant voU.es until tho women be
como wildly excited, nnd leap to
their feet. Meanwhile the dunce goes
qn. The dancers glisten with per
spiration and tho paint on their
bodies runs down their buro backs
and legs. Some of the older ones,
to show their prowess with venomous
reptiles, carry three and five rat
tlesnakes about with them. They

Spanish Coin of 1709
in Delaware Bay Fish
Cape May, N. J. Frank W.
Hughes of Cape May Point
caught a nine-pound weukflsh In
Delaware Hay. When he cleaned
the fish Hughes found In it a
Spanish coin dntcd 1700. It Is
supposed that this came from
one of the Spanish ships of thirt
time which was wrecked off the
Delaware capes. Hughes was
accompanied when he caught
the fish by Horace Carson, who
some time ago found a pearl
valued at $500 In a cluui that
he caught off the Fishing Creek
clam beds.
wenve the snakes about their liend9,
they coll them In huge balls and toss
them up and down; they twlno them
about their necks and tuck them be
tween the belts of their kilts nnd their
nude waists, and carry them, held nt
the middle, In their mouths. All tills
time they nre hopping about the sun
baked plaza. Now they clrclo about
the klsFwth their burden of serpents
In their hands. Then nt a signal by
old Kopall, the snake chief, the danc
ers form In threes, nnd with the snakes
wriggling for freedom In their hands,
they march backward and forwnrd.
Another signal and they form in a row
and toss the serpents to und fro. Then
the dance stnrts anew. More circling,
marchings nnd counter-marchings In
ones, twos nnd threes. Occasionally a
reptile wriggles Itself loose from an
Indian's hand. It is, however, Instant
ly picked up like so mucl) rubber hose.
An Hour of Horror.
The snake dance lasts about fifty
minutes. At Its close the Indian spec
tators have risen to their feet, and uro
weaving their arms and bodies hack
and forth In time to the rapid chorus
they are shouting over und over again.
The dancers are dripping with per
spiration. The white visitors are dazed
at the Incredible scene. No ono who
has not seen It would believe theso
men can be so thoroughly Indifferent to
tho serpent's venom.
Suddenly at a signal from wrinkled
Kopall the dnnclng ceases nnd the high
snake priest advances to an open
place. He solemnly sprinkles meal in
a ring, denoting all compass points to
which serpent messengers nre to con
vey the Mokl petitions. At another
signal the rattlesnakes are thrown In a
heap within the circle. Menl Is hastily
thrown upon the wriggling heap, whllo
a guttural Invocation Is pronounced. In
u moment each of the dancers snatches
several of the serpents In his hands,
nnd starts at full speed for the narrow
trail which leads down from the mesa
to the plains below. There the grue
some burdens nre thrown upon tho
snnds nnd permitted to go their wny
In pence.
The dance Is over, but there's anoth
er scene. When tho athletic dancers
have come running back to the plaza
they hasten to the sacred klva, whero
they remove till tho trappings of the
ceremony. Then they come out mid
drink deeply from n bowl of mysteri
ous decotlon of herbs brewed only by
Salako, the oldest snnko woman In
Moklland.
Then the Mokls go home In silence.
They have performed tho most Impor
tant scrvlco In their lives mid have
propitiated tho rnln god as sacredly as
they know how. Their wives nnd
sweethearts wait upon them nnd wash
them of Ihelr paint. On tho morrow
the pueblo feast tnkes place, and tho
new green corn and melons arc eaten
without stint.
Very nnturnlly tho question Is asked :
Are not the rattlesnakes used In tho
Mokl ceremonies drugged or deprived
of their fnngs? If not, why aro not tho
half-mule snnko dancers and priests
bitten? Whlto people who hnvo seen
several Mokl snako dances say they
have never known a Mokl to confess
he was fanged, but every year specta
tors 8eo snake dancers pull awny from
their arms serpents that have fnstcned
there. Every year some of tho reptiles
coll and strike at their captors. Tho
best-posted scientists who hnvo looked
upon Mokl snake dancca Bay that tho
priests and dancers have a certain
manner of handling tho creatures, and
thnt the strnngo broth which the snnke
handlers drink renders venom harm
less. At any rate It Is unique among

HARE FEARED BY IGNORANT
Harmless Little Animal Figured
Largely In the Superstitions Which
Are Considered of the Past.
Among old superstitions none waa
more prevalent than thnt relating to
the hare's foot, which was curried for
luck.
Pcpys notes in his diary that his
hare's foot lacked a Joint, and that ho
would obtain n proper one. it wa9
usual for fishwives on the east coast
of England to carry a hare's foot In
their creel, but they were very ungry
when the children shouted: "Ye'vt
9 hnre's fit In yer creel."
"To kls the hare's foot" means ta
jo without dinner. If n hare ran along
a village street, the people said there
would be a fire. If a hare crossed a
fisherman's path when going to sen,
he turned back. Seeing a hare was
Bald to be the cause of that unhappy
deformity, harelip. It was thought
that a witch could turn herself into
a hare, and that a hare could only b
shot with n sliver bullet.
