 The first has no mark. The second is graven with teardrops, 

 called by the Indians '' the weeping heart."

40 The council fire. Uncommon variety. The three uprights 

 are the signal flame of the council fire. The crossbars indicate 

 the sticks of wood that are crossed in this fashion, as by the

 torch. 



These cross sticks symbolize the extent of the Indian lands, 

 or the roots of the great " Union tree " which extend north, 

 east, south and west.
