Sev eral hundred individual articles are in the collect ion, which he has placed on display in the Carnegie library. He is inclined to think that the various implements of* war and the 'chase were left by the Catawba tribe, .which roamed along the Ca tawba river valley in their day, i * gradually diminishing with the ad vent of the pale face until the pres ent time, when there is said to be not one-person of pure Catawba e\ traction. The Catawba reservation near Hock Hill, S. contains the remnants of a once vigorous tribe. Oiie Alexander county field, prob ably an early battleground, yielded the greatest number of individual pieces, these l"ing almost exclusive ly arrow point*. Judge Williams says' that the points, made- of wonder fully sharpened granite, were noj at tached to the arrow firmly, but fastened in such a manner that the force of the staff caused the point to penetrate the body of an opposing rwarrior, and that when the arrow Was n moved it left the tip in the Hbody. When it i^ remembered thai the Indians universally poisoned their arrow points it may be surmised that a large number of Indians died ^particularly unpleasant deaths in that Alexander county field. ? Other pieces of war include 'stoiv 'spear heads, tamahawks and war clubs, which the Indians used in their barbaric style upon the bodies of their enemies.

Mont KvnL.rll "Interference Cuter sup ply of Los Anf#Ii? by a mob o' rancher* who turned water out of the aqueduct in the Owens Valley 200 miles north of the city brings back into the now* one of the most upec tacular engineering achievements In America," says a bulletin from the Washington, IV C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. "The construction of New York? mammoth new water works involved a if re at amount of labor and expense, continues the bulletin, "but the dra matic element of conquering a desert was lacking. Even the engineering adventures of the old Romans In bringing the Water supplies for their cities in great arched canals was sui passed i? the construction of the huge conduit that made its way 250 miles to divert a river across the desert, through mountains and over and un der canyons that the residents of a great city in a land of little rainfall may have abundant water. . "In lUOtS when Los Angeles toUnd it necessary to go far a- field for an in creased water supply, most of the Owens River, hidden away behind mountains and deserts, was going-to waste into Owens Lake, a salt water depression from which it was lost by evaporation. Only a tew ranchers lived in the valley and the water riifhts of most of these were bought up by the city. Later the watershed of the river in the high Sierras was set aside by the Federal Government as a forest reservation. "More than $20,000,000 was spent bv the city on its aqueduct and an a'rmv of 5,000 men was kept busy. Construction started in. November, 1908, and water was delivered to the city from the completed aqueduct within four years. In order to bring! the new supply from its far-away source the city's engineers had bored ?i;; miles of tunnels and had built lo miles of steel siphons and concrete flumes, 22 miles of canal and ldf miles of concrete-covered conduit. "The Owens- Valley from.>vhieh Los Angeles' water starts on its long trans-desert journey, is a narrow cleft iin the Sierras. Seven miles will span it at a 1 must any point. To the cast-, ward are the brown Inyos, to the westward tin- white Sierras. This lat ter range of mountains forms tho roof -shed of the United States, Mount Whitnev, snow-clad monarch ot them all, rises v to a height of 14,502 teet. twenty-three other peaks exceed 500 feet in elevation. "Along the Sierras the snows He deep throfWHhe year. From the base !>') streams debouch and pour into Owens River from a drainage area of 2,800 square miles. To insure a water free from alkali, Los Angeles, went .'}.r> miles above the mouth of trie river to buil<l the intake of the aque duct. The first 22 miles, from the intake to the toe of the Alabama foothills, is in the form of a canal 5.0 feet wide and 10 feet deep, un cemented and at a slightly highci elevation than the river. It is near the end of this open canal tnat ranch ers diverted the canal water back in o the ?"i ver bed. "Cutting off the flow of the aquej duct did not mean an immediate stop j page of water flowing into the Loa Angeles mains. At Maiwee, a few miles south of Owens Lake, is a basi..i covering 15 square miles where a re serve supply of water is kept. On the northern side of the (.oast Range near Los Angeles is another reser voir and south of the range are others. The loss of the water is a serious matter to the city, howovei, because the past two years have been abnormally dry. The normal flow is >00,000,000 gallons per day, but it fell Idst year to less than 180,000,000 gallons. # ' "Sta'rting :it an elevation of more nan .'1000 fee- above s'ea level the V<,ueduct watt * is still 2,500 feet ^her than I Angeles when it a hes i h ;? < \>ast Range.

They dropped lu qulti' casually at the "malrle" and i'uiiio to , shake hands with the heir apparent of the Swedish crown. 'IXiuao Flemish burgher* have ever been thus, according to Pierre Van i'aanseu in the Atlanta Constitution. There need be no surprint; in their customs. When Louis V III, king uf France, arrived Id Ghent to he present at the marriage sot Ida s|ster to the archduke of Aus tria, a special entertainment was given In the market squar??_-(>n the one side of the square wall a luxurious lodge 'draped In eriulue and velvet, where seats had been arranged fdr the car* dlnal princes of the church and the king. Home good burghers arriving be fore the king calmly occupied the royal and prjncely scats. When the king put In an appearance the burghers refused i to give Up their seats to the cardinals, though they made room for the king Of France. Indignantly, the cardinal archbishop of Rhelms, who was pres ent, ordered one citizen thrown into the river. The bailiff asked him : "On whose authority ahali I do this?" "On the authority of a prince of the blood and a prince of the holy church," came tho order, , "Your highness," replied the bailiff, "thte man you want me to throw, into the river i? a cloth weaver, and, that means a little more than a mere prince of France with us." Two Simple Reasons Why Eggs Were Hard /Xllybtel, the eg*rs are hard again, and you know the children arb'n't al lowed to cat hard-boiled eggs," pro tested an exasperated housekeeper re cently to her 'colored cook. 'JIIow Is It that you can't seem to leafh such a simple thing as how to boll jin egg soft?" ' "Ah don't know, Mis' Gray," pro tested Iihybol, amiably distressed. "Ah sure does try ter have dem al?s de way you wants 'em ; Ah sure does. Ah looks at de clock do whole time dey's biljn\ so's de hand won't get away f.um me. Ah cain't guess how come dey's hard-btled ag'in ? onless 'twas Ah' kep' my eyes on de hour hand 'stld qb de minute haiid. Mis' Gray." An excuse hardly more acceptable was that offered by Hannah, a Scan dinavian of some experience In Amer ica, for Hilda, her sister, trot 'newly arrived, who was employed In the I same household.;. Hilda had boiled the egtfs too hard. "It is because she vor alvays too slow," explained Hannah apologetical ly. "Sire hov alvays take Ileelda ten minutes to boll hers eggs t'ree min utes," ?

Lightning and Radio The bureau of standards states that a radio antenna, if grounded, or pro vided with a lightning arrester, has Borne of the properties of a lightning rod, but, as commonly installed, has these properties in such limited de grees. that it. is, not to be regarded, as effective protection against lightning. On the other hand,' on account of its relatively small size, it does not ap preciably Increase the possibility of a direct stroke. A. modern lightning rod system,"* however. Is designed and In stalled with a view of protecting against direct strokes, and when this is properly done, a high degree of protec tion is obtained. Many lightning rods in actual use ure not properly installed, and It i*S to those that Isolated cast's of damage to rodded buildings are nsnnlly traced. Few Climb Mount Ararat Mount Ararat has long been the goal of mountain climbers and Its sides have boen attacked with varying suc cess, for generations. \Vith an altitude of over 17,<XX) foot, its precipitous sides present ditllcult problems in clinching. A proposed railroad to the summit, while within the range of engineering possibilities, is an almost fantastic scheme. A legend persists that frag ments of the ark still lie upon the summit of Ararat, hut the few hardy climbers who have reached this .goal discourage the belfof. Noah, after de scending the mountain with his ship's company, Is supposed to have planted a vineyard below the snow line, where he was afterward buried.
