for drawing off the water from the reservoir will
be constructed on the upstream side Of the
masonry dam near its north end. The substruc-

walls into three separate water chambers Each
chamber will have an inlet opening constructed
about thirty feet above the original river bed and
just above the cmbankment that will be made

will discharge it into the old river channel The
overflow varies in height from 10 feet at its
junction with the main dam to about ten fcct

This overflow runs along the side hill and nearly

The new Croton dam at Cornell which was be-

INDIANS OF INVENTIVE MIND.
The ornaments of this class Of Indian are not
Of crude workmanship. bat are Of excellent finish
and design The general conception of the Indian
is that Of an individual totally. or largely, de-
void of invention. There can scarcely be- more
erroneous impression. In place of lacking ca
pacitics for invention. the Indian. on the con-
trary. is person Of great inventive genius, and
bis crude surroundings and the infrcquent need
Of exercising his talents prevent his ee-
MUS from being developed. In other gen"r-
ations and under other conditions the inventive
genius of the Indian was developed 10 an extent
far beyond the modern conception. The mound
builders and the cliff dWellcrs have LEFT inonu-
ments which display genius equal To. If not
surpassng the originality of the modern in
VcntOr.
An attempt is being made by the National
Museum to eliminate this ignorance Of the Indi-
an as far as il lies in the SCIENTISTS power. Con
sequcntly. with this work Of education in view.
the scientists are preparing groups Of figures
dealing directly with the life and customs Of tho
Indians and as far as possible forming fac-similes
Of the home life Of the unciviliZcd man, his code
Of religious belief and Wurships, and the aids
which he employs in parformins the littic work
which his necessities and the love for adornmcnt
require Among the group of hgur,s which
have recently been placed on exhibition in the
west hall of the museum is one representing the
methods employed in working silver into deco
ratiOns and useful articles.
BELLOWS MADE OF BUFFALO HIDE
Among other erroneous impressions concern
ing the Indian is that no forge is used in
melting metals. but that the slow ana rather un-
satisfactory method used is simply placing the
melting pot in a bed of glowing Goals. The
hibit entirely dispels this impression. The first
thing to attract attention is a forge, in crude

Mrs. Fields TeIls an Interesting Anecdote
 og the Author.
 Speaking of L0ngfellow. in her vol ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs Jane J. Fields says:
 His kindness and love of humor car ried him through many tedious inte~ ruption. He generously overlooked tn fact of the subterfuges to which men and women resorted in order to get an interview, and, to help them out, made as much of their excuses as possible Speaking one day of the persons who oamo to see him at Nahant, he said: One man, q perfect stranger, cane with an omnibus full of ladies. He descend ed, introduced himself then, returning to the omnibus, took out all the ladies, one, two, three, four and five, with little girl, md brought them in. I en- tertained them to the best of my ability, and they staid an hour. They had scarce ly gone when forlorn woman in black came up to me on tho piazza and asked for dipper of water. Certainly" l replied, and went to fetch her glass. When 1 brought 1t, she said "There is another woman just by the fence who is tired and thirsty I will carry this to hor. But she struck her head as she passed through the window and spilled the water on the piazza, ''Oh, what have I donei she said. eff I had 8 floor cloth, would wipe it up. ," "Oh, no matter about the water, I said, If you have net hurt yourself. " Then I went and brought more water for them both and sent them on their way re- freshed and rejoicing
 Tt would be both an endless and un- profitable task to recall more of the cu- rious experiences which popularity brought down upon him. There is a passage among Mir. Fields notes, how ever, in which he describes an incident during Longfellow' s last visit to Eng land which should not be overlooked. Upon his arrival the queen sent a grace fuI message and invited him to Windsor castle, where she received him with all the honors, but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an English nod carrier who came up to the carriage door at Harrow and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the Voices of the Night.

TRAPPING CROWS.
It Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the Willy
 Birds.

Tt Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the Willy
 Birds.
 Crows are trapped and sold to sports men for shooting matches, usually bring ing BIO per 100, but, like other things, when scarce they bring moro.
 It is no simple matter to trap crows, for tho crow is willy bird, and to catch him in net set for that purpose re- quires skill, and patience as well, but tho hunger of the crow is always the srapper's B greatest aid. One man alone would make but little headway catching crows and would probably sit all day in his little bough house ready to spring his net, but the crows would give his bait wide berth because they would know that he was there.
 After placing tho carcass of some ani- nal on field the net is set close to 1t by bending poles of saplings, on which the net is hnng flat to the ground, where they arc held down by triggerlIke pegs, and line run 90 yards or more to 9 house built of boughs, where the trap per is secreted.
 Another carcass is usually laid some hundreds of yards distant on the same or another field, where there is no net set. Tho trappers, usually two in num- Der, go Into the bough house together before daylight, and when the crows be- gin to assemble on the fields one of them goes out and walks away. The crows, seeing him leave, grow little boldeF and approach the bait in ones and twos, but stop only long enough to get beak- ful of the flesh and fly off again. The carcass where there is no net set is of course the best patronized, buS the trap l per on the outside makes 1t his business to walk near enough to that to keep the crows from settling on it in numbers and thus satisfying their hunger with out going to the one where the net is After awhile their hunger gets the bet ter of their judgment or their fear, and they gather on the carcass where the net is This is the opportunity of the man in tho bough house, who, with a vigorous pull on the line, springs the net over them. Quick work must be done then by the trappers, who rush up to the net, to keep the trapped crows from crawling out at the ends and the front, where 1t Is not staked fast to the ground. With their hands covered with stout buokskin gloves, to keep the crows from biting and scratching them, the captured birds arc put In bags ready to be carried off the field. From 40 to 60 arc frequently caught at one pull, but it Is rare thing to get more than two springs of the net in one day. -Phiia- delphia Record.

The nn rrnnrler Woman.

In CD article which the late Mir, Du Maurier wrote some years ago for The Magazine of Art apropos of the typical pretty woman" of his drawings, oo- CUTS the following quaint and character istio passage "I do hope the reader does not dislike her-that is, if he knows her
 -I am so fond of her myself, or rather so fond of what want her to be She is my piece de resistance, and have often heard her commended, and tile praise of her has sounded swect in mine ears and gone straight to my heart, for she has become to me as daughter. She is rather tall, admit, and trife stiff but English women arc tall and stiff just now-and she is rather too serious, but that Is only because I find 1t sa difficult with a mere stroke in black ink to indicate the enchanting little curved lines that go from the nose to the mouth corners, causing the cheeks to make a smile.
