I could see that the interpreter longed to remain overnight among his, people and to take in this show. "Well," I said, "ie it worth climbing the mesa in the dark?" ""I think, you will like it," be answ- ered; ""it iv a funny little dance and the children -go to se -e it." So I did not order up the team. After 'supper, when the twilight had faded into that clouded blackness be- fore the stars appear, I scrambled after my guide up the mesa trail. When we reached the end of that pant- ing climb, the .houses of the people were murkily' lighted by their oil lamps, but most of the householders were abroad, going toward the various kivae, To the central one we went, and down the ladder. The place was lighted by large- swinging arge swinging lamps, borrowed for the oc- eaaion from the trader, lamps that have wide tin shades and may be quickly turned to brilliancy or dark- ness by- a little -wheel e,t the side. I had expected to find it a. gloomy place, whereas they had arranged something very like the lighting of a theatre. It was, a trifle difficult to find, a place in that crow"ded vault. The afar end was kept clear, but the two long sidesand the ladder -end were packed with -Hopi ;1 women and their little ones. Just as. ' I have seen in our theatres, the child- ren could scarcely repress their ner- vous interest, now sitting, now stand- ing on tiptoe$ turning and watching, as if this would hasten matters. I seated myself on the lower hung of the ladder, believing this place Would be most desirable from my point of view because from it I had a view of the kiva'• centre and could most easily make my way to- the upper air when things became too thick. A orowdedkiva is rather foreign in at- mosphere when filled to •capacity and with lamps going. But I soon found that I would be disturbed. From above came the noise of rattles and the clank of equipment, calls, and )lie. shuffling of feet. A line of dancers descended upon nee. I moved to let them pass into the lighted centre- spaoe. They were garbed in all the color and deaign of Hopi imagination, and wore groteslque masks. They lined lip, and I .sense their. mission was one of merrymaking. Two clowns headed the band and soon had the audience •canvulsed. They hopped about, postured, and carried on a ALL CLEANI tC 01"'S E N date t i verywor,mrie M;+id.olicll•warli mil 111 ;;',;✓, Sit Harry Johnson The British Empire has lost ono of its most eminent servants by the death of Sir Harry Pohnston, G.C.- M.G., .C.M.G., H.C.B.

His skill in conciliating natives and in adjusting grievances became proverbial on both the East and West Coasts The crowning suc- cess of his active career was perhaps the consolidation of the British Cen- tral Africa Protectorate.
