'Judge W4lHam found the greater
part of the relies hear hk old home
in Alexander county* Other* came
from Mecklenburg, Wilkes, Iredell,
Cabarrus and Catawba counties. 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. Stone knives also
aie in the - collection, presumably,
used for tile delicate task of ripping
off the >calps of their fallen foes.

"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. # '

Labor's Head
I Fl vmieh t'Krghera Had
i rfte Democratic Spirit
The <rown prince of Sweden, guest
of iht; it, my or of the midgut tpu of
Uruge^ In Flanders. expressed surprise
at the ? democratic manners of the
burghers of the (own. 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," ? Youth's Companion.
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.
A Passive Helper
The new pastor observing a poorly
dressed individual who whs sittinsr in
the rear of the church greeted him
said : u \
"1 am not sure hut that we could
t\nd Home place for you in chiirch
work." J
