STONE ARROW AND SPEAR
HEADS.
How They Are Still Aanufac-
tured by Indians in Gen.
trail Mexico.

Ia the foothills and canyons Of
New Mexico and Arizona | have
often come upon small areas from
six to a dozen feet in diameter,
thickly strewn with fakes and chips
of flint, quartz and the black vol
canic glass called obsidian, says a
writer in the New York Advertiser.
Among these chips 1 have found
stone arrow and spear heads and
other implements, in more or less
perfect condition, indicating that
these places were the sites of the
workshops Of our barbarian ante
cedents in the occupation of the
country. But that is all past. The
Indians of today have become
skilled in more effective weapons
and implements, and those of stone
have gone out of fashion in the
United States. 1t was not until
very recently that l had an oppor-
tunity of visiting one Of those prim-
tive armories operated in an Indian
village in central Mexico and Of
watching a weather beaten, wrin-
killed. old man plying the vocation
of chipping out of stone these old
knives, arrowheads and what not
with consummate skill.
Obsidian is quite brittle as COM
pared with other varieties of stone
used in this manufacture. 1t is
comparatively easy to chip this
material into shape if enc knows
how. A strong T-shaped instru-
ment is made Of hard wood, the
body about twenty inches in length,
the ss-pieces ten inches or a foot
long. Seating himself upon the
ground, the work man selects bit
of stone to suit his purpose, places
the cross of the T against his breast,
the lower end of the body held and
guided by his left hand, while in his
right hand, clamped vicelike be-
tween his knees, he holds a piece
of obsidian. Placing the lower end
of his wooden instrument against
the stone, he gives a sudden, quick,
strong pressure of the body against
the T, which results in splintering
off flake C the brittle material
The oper" w is repeated again
and agar VII the greatest nicely,
until the stone is reduced to the
desired proportions. Every Indian
is not his own armorer or artisan.
1t requires long practice to attain
the necessary skill, and usually one
or two of the men act in the capa-
city of implement-makers for an
entire village, and they seem to
find it a profitable industry. The
stone used is carefully selected,
and is often brought long distances
to the workshops. [ have found
heaps of obsidian chips in localities
very far removed from the nearest
place where the mineral is found

two sent shots of 500 pounds, one
of $50 pounds, two of $50 pounds,

An Oily Product Derived From

Than Carb0Lc Acid, and
Not Poisonous.

An oily product yielded by the
coke ovens at the Thornciif collier
les, Sheffield, England, has been
analysed by the chemist III charge,
who finds that it possesses remark
able power as a disinfectant. After
careful and varied tests it IS pro
nounced more affective than carbollc
acid, and neither poisonous nor cor
rosiye. Besides, it adheres closely
to any object or part Of body to
which it has been applied; but,
while not soluble in water, 1t mixes
with that liquid, and can thus be
distributed easily. Chemists say
that it has q place between the ben
zine and paraffine series OF products

MACFARLANE'S FRED MAC WINS
THE SIXTH EVENT.
Arbitrary Action of One of the
Members of the Jockey Club.

lc COlIlHudLlOli vi IdCS HuuIDcI
six, which was postponed from last
Saturdays meeting Of the Hawaiian
Jockey Club on account of dark
ness, took place at Kapiolani park
yesterday afternoon. All three Of
the judges were present, besides an
audience Of about one hundred.
At 2:25 the judges assembled the
stand, and the race was called.
Messrs. Focke and Dexter acted as
timekeepers. After scoring four
times, the contesting horses-Au-
punt, Fred Mac and Linda Win
their respective positions, got the
word. Aupuni succeeded in getting
an advantage of about 10 feet at the
start, and increased it to con-
siderable distance after leaving the
quarter pole, and still further in
creased it before reaching the half
stretch. Although all the horses
moved like clockwork and at a
rapid gait, Aupuni had such an
advantage as would make him a
sure winner, but unfortunately
struck a soft place in the track
shortly after passing the half-pole
and broke. This gave Fred Mac
the advantage, and he maintained
it to the end, winning the heat and
! the race in the extraordinary fast
time of 2 :42.
After few moments spent in
arranging some minor details, a
Emile dash running race was de-
cided on between Ballantine's
Queen l. and Macfarlane's Little
One for a purse of 800 aside, the
horses to be ridden by their respec-
tive owners.
When the arrangements for the
the race had been perfected, Mr..
Focke refused to allow the event
unless he was paid $25 for the use of
the track. This created no little
dissatisfaction among those pres
ent, and Mr.. Focke's action came
in for a great deal of adverse crit
icism. Notwithstanding the fact
that the owners of both horses are
members of the jockey club and
that several other members of the
club present made no objection,
Mr.. Focke still insisted upon the
payment of $25 for the use of the
track, claiming that he was acting
under the orders of Secretary Ber-
ger, of the Hawaiian Jockey Club.
The desired sum was raised among
those present, and paid Mr.. Focke
under protest, and the race went
on. The officials named above
acted in the capacities of judges
and timekeepers.
A fair start was made and the
word given. Little One made tt3ie
