While all the rest of the Indians, so called, were nomads, moving from, place to place on the warpath or In search of food for themselves or their animals, the Cliff Dwellers thousands of years ago occupied the cliffs, cleft3 and cav erns of the Painted Desert of the Colo rado In southwest Arizona and) down in Now Mexico. t These Cliff Dwellers gave their counr try Its peculiar name from the fact, well attested by modern travelers, that tho mountains In that arid) and barren region have all of the hues of the rain bow. This iy due to ero9lon, that is, the action of the vain, the cloudy and the rivers on tho soil ire the valleys and on the face bf the Inaccessible cliffs. Only within the last few years has nature's greatest wonder In America, the Grand Canyon of tho Colorado, come- Into de served prominence of the traveling pub lic. Not far from It, near the New Mexico capital, Santa Fe, stands the little pu eblo, or Indlaiv village, of tho Taos, famed in Wcotcrro history a9 the place where Kit Carson, the hunter, trapper, mountaineer and guide, lived for years among the Mokls, Zunis and Pueblos of the region, who, glnre the immemorial tlme3 have occupied the stono-cllft dwellings of this Painted Desert. Pueblo and Tnos Reproduced. At the World's fair this entire pueblo and taos I reproduced without tho slightest impairment of Its plzc, ar rangement or deslgru It stands there with all the quaint attractiveness of its unique physical aspect, and In tho big quadrangle arc- shown, tho grave of Kit Caroon. the house ho occupied, the abode and cliff dwellings of tho natives who now occupy the upper tiers of the cliffs In the rocks and reach them, men, wo men and children, by frail ladders, which, the Inst member of the tribe hav ing come home, they draw after them, thus closing the dwelling- for tho night. In the plaza, the center of the building group, the women are seen wcavlnc blankets of wool, which they card them selves. Their work, beautiful in Its color schemey, is so carefully done that tho rugs and blankets are waterproof and mothproof. The wear and tear of even the most severe use has no effect upon the wonderful output of the most primitive looms. This pueblo of Taos Is Hanked on its southern) front by an exact duplication of the Battle Rock mountain, which In its natural state looms hundreds of feet above the ourroundlng country and for thousands of years was tho spot where the forefathers of the Zunjs, Mokls arid' the Pueblos fought out their differences or met to peacefully adjust them. The replication of the Battle Rock at the World's fair overlooks the entire pic ture of the fair, and thousands of Irlt ors now resort to It to gain an idea of tho architectural and other outv rd beauties of the wondrous Louisiana Purchase exposition. The Cliff Dweller descendants have erected a theater, primitive, it Is true, but not the less attractive, some ninety feet behind Battle Rock and there "very afternoon and evening, exclusive of Sunday, they give a wonderful per formance of the dances and ceremonials of which they have long been famous In the annals of American ethnology Zuni Family in Front of Cliff Dwelling. I Given the Snake Dance. Ju3t as at Oralbl and Wolpl in tho Painted Desert, there has been for many years art annual ceremony called) the snake dance, first seen, by the way, by white men in 1897, so these Indians at tho Louisiana Purchase exposition dance the snake dance, the green corn dance, tho coyote and the agle reels, and all their children above pa poose age, of which there are many, take part in tho exercises, either as singers or tom-tom beaters. Live snakes of the most poisonous varieties aro used Jn the snake dance and the reptiles are vexed Into almost ungovernable fury by the feather-wands of the sniake dancers. They dance with a wild orgy In which to the thunderous beating of tho tom toms and the- weird chanting of the wo men and children, the dancers catch up the wriggling reptiles from the boards of the stage and take them' Into tholr mouths, whirl the snakeB about their heads In horrifying festoons. In their own country the Zuni priests dance thls snake dance on cr about the 20th day of August, and only when rail Is need ed. Recent special reports from the Gov ernment at Washington are sufficient warrant of the fact that it always rains in Moklland fifteen days after the priests liberate the reptiles used- In this Htrungely- fascinating pagan ceremonial. Travelers who have attended as many as ten of the snake dances at Wolpl say that It Is of record that no priest has ever been bitten by a snake during the snake dance. That these semi-savages are Immune to the effect of snake poisoning may well bo Imagined. Another explanation of their safety may lie In tho fact that the rattlesnake Is comparatively harm less when It lies uncoiled. The reptile can only use Its fangs In striking, that is, by springing from a colled position toward its victim. At the Cliff Dwell ers' exhibit at tho World's fair each unako dancer carries about his neck a little receptacle like an amulet ln which a quick antidote for snake blteS Is sup posed to be kept. Three hundred Zuni, Mokl and Pueblo men, women and children) are at the Cliff Dwellers' exhibit at SL Louis, and they have been aptly designated! the eth nographic centerpiece of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. While every big exposition or fair has its contingent of native tribes, the feature of the Cliff Dwellers at the St. Louis exposition is that never before have the Zunis, Mokls and the Pueblos of historical Taos shown themselves or their ceremonials away from the Cralbt and Wolpl In the Painted Desert These natives are different from other North Americans in that they are cleaner-limbed, more docile and altogether more tractable. Their peaceful life In' fixed abodes extending .as a distinct tribe over thousands of years may also account for their fine appearance and admirable traits.
