ODD INDIAN CUSTOM.
The Ilnalnpnln of the American Des
ert Itake Up Stoncn Into
Lour Windrows.
Near the town called The Needles,
about 12 miles across the Colorado
river, on the California side, -writes
AV. E. Curtis, from Flagstaff, Ariz., to
the Chicago Iteeord, is an area of
about 1,000 acres, more or less, where
the llulapais Indians rake up the stones
in windrows in a most mysterious man
ner and for a reason that has never
been satisfactorily explained to the
white citizen of that section.
It is a dreary and dusty desert. Itain
seldom falls. The surface of the
ground, a hard clay'that has been bak
ing in the sun for centuries, is covered
with broken lava and pumice stone,
which at some time was discharged
from one of the great volcanoes, njTo.se
silent craters can lie seen in tha San
Ucrnardino mountains. This is the or
dinary appearance of the country for
Iengucsaround. You can travel an hour,
or ten hours, for that matter, in any di
rection away from the river bed, with
out seeing anything green or any plant
or thing of life, except a cactus or a
sage bush. Under the shadow of a
group of mighty hills is a mesa, or table
land, that is almost level, and there,
once a year, upon some anniversary,
whose significance is not understood,
and cannot be ascertained, the In
dians of the Ilnalapais tribe gather at
night and rake the lava and pumice
stones into windrows. Some of the wind
rows arc two miles long. Thsy are reg
ular in length and in intervals, and the
average height is about 12 or 15 inches,
just about the height of a windrow of
hay left by u horserake in a meadow.
"THE FOOT SIGN."
An Intert-Htliifr DlNcnaalun Over In
SlKnlllcnnee Wax Stirred Up bi
lbo Dreyfua Cane.
When a man is wilting with one leg
thrown comfortably over the other the
foot that is bunging loose undergoes a
little movement at each beat of the
heart. While the charge of Capt. Drey
fus was pending Marquis du I'aty dr;
Clam made a psychological study of the
prisoner. Among other things lie sud
denly asked Dreyfiifc a question calcu
lated to arouse emotion in hi in, if he
was guilty. Hrcyfuh was in the pouturc
mentioned, and the movements of his
foot were suddenly Intensified. The
marquis urged this u a proof of the
prisoner's guilt, and it really seems to
have played a part in securing his con
viction. J)r. A. Lutaud combated the
marotiiB' inference at the time, and
qii'i-' iustifiably, the New York Medical
.loin i I thinks, but cunuot ugree with
JJr. l.utnud when lie says now, In a Kar
elin' article reflecting on du I'aty de
Cln that such movements of the foot,
whl( li lie calls "instlnetlve," have noth
ing to do with the movements of the
heart. The movement has been called
"the sign of the foot," but Dr. Lutaud
proposes to call It "du J'aty's sign." 4
