THE SOURCE DISCOVERED.
Water Main Laid by the City Caused
the Trouble.

The source OF the small stream of
water that has bubbled through the
pavement in Center street, near Wyo-
ming avenue has been discovered This
stream Of water caused a coating of ice
to cover part of the asphalt pave where
Centre joins Wyoming avenue, and re-
suited in Sunday nights accident by
which Morgan Williams, of West
Scranton, was injured.
An excavation has revealed the fact
that the leak was in an old main laid
by the city to carry water from Wyo-
ming avenue to the station house in
Centre street. Several property owners
in that street have also connected with
the main since it was laid.
After the pipe was laid bare yestcr-
day and repaired. it was found that the
water in it was frozen and it had to be
thawed out. AS a result of the leak
the Centre street station house has been
without water for two days.

CHENoWETH INJURED.
Fell from the Scaffold of a House on
Which He Was Working.

John ChenOwith. ii carpenter, en-
ployed by the North End Lumber COM
pany, met with an accident Tuesday
afternoon that will probably contine
him to his home for the remainder of
the winter.
While engaged at work on a scaffolG-
ing he lost his footing and was precipi-
tated to the ground. FellOw-workmen
hurried to his assistance and found him
to have suffered a severe fracture to
his leg. He was removed to his home
on Wayne avenue, where he received
medical attention.
This is the third accident that has
befallcn him within a short period.

Major Poweir. Aphabet:

Maj. Powell of the bureau of ethnology
some time ago compiled an alphabet for re-
cording the Indian language. 1t comprises
about eighty characters, and has been SO
arranged that it can be used by all Indian
scholars. and all the types and characters
which are used in this alphabet can be
found in any printing office, which is the
primary idea of its cShPifa Atom Some Of
ths shades OF pponladiati6a orisouuds, SO
delicate as to be hardly distinguished at
all, are shown by accented letters or in
verted mathematical signs, and the like so
that there is no possibility of making a
mistake as to the sxact pronunciation of
the Indian word. In connection with the
graphophones which are used this is
thought to make the reproduction of the
language of each tribe almost exact and
perfect.
AS matter of fact, the sounds will be
transcribed to manuscript. so as to avoid
all chances of loss, but the main reliance
OF them will be the graphophones.
The bureau of ethnology has not yet ex-
tended its scope beyond the study of the
subject in America, but it is hoped the Ian
guage of all the peoples inhabiting this
part of the world will be retained in this
manner.
Prof. Mooney of thu bureau is now In
Mexico, and will remain in the southwest
some time, studying the mescal rites of the
kiowa Indians and others. A graphophone
will be sent him, which he will use in pre-
serving the rites of the Indians as uttered
by them while under the influence of the
mescal. ys---

PRESERVATION OF LANGUAGE
Native Hawaiians Talk Into the Grapho-
phone.
Valuable Work of the Bureau of
EthnOlOgy - Taking Down the
Rituals of the. Indians.

Members Of the native Hawaiian delega-
ton here have visited the bureau of eth
nology on F street and have talked into
the graphophones provided there for the
purpose, SO that record Of the Hawaiian
language can be preserved. One of the
Hawaiian songs and also one of the speech
es by the natives has been SO preserved.
Mr.. William Churchill. ex-consul general
to Samoa, has also recorded one of the
Malfetoa war songs, supposed to be about
400 years old, which has been handed
down to the Samoans from generation to
generation. He also sang several other
songs into the reproducing machines, one
of them being the national hymn, which
was the farewell song to Admiral KIM
b,:riy.
The bureau of ethnoiogy in this manner
has preserved the languages of a num-
Der OF Indian tribes of the west. Prof.
Mooney took graphophone during the
gnost dance craze among the Indians sew
erai years ago and with this a large
number OF the speeches of the Indians.
while In a trance condition during the
ghost dance. and Of which no duplicate
could he had, were obtained.
1t is explained by Chief Clerk Hodge
Of the bureau that the rituals Of the In
dams are learned by them orally. These
rituals are taught, being handed down
from father to son. so that II uninterrupted
the whole rite, ritual or song. as the case
may be. can be repeated from end to end
without break If the Indian repeating 1t
is uninterrupted. Sometimes it takes four
or i've hours to repeat one Of these rituals.
Prof. Mooney travelled $4,000 = miles
through the different states and territories
of the west to secure the records Of the
Indians during the ghost dance craze. He
was several years in this work, and OBJ
tanned material from the Indian tribes
which could not be again secured, as SINH
lar circumstances will not exist. Differ
ent songs were sung by the ghost dance
craze Indians which would not be repeated,
as they would not be remembered by the
Indians, and they could not reproduce
them II they chose.
The Indian Language.
Ths language OF the Indians since the
tribes have become associated with the
whites has changed materially. It is
thought that in the future, when the tribes
become fewer and more scattered, the Ian
guage will be entirely obsolete. The In
dams themselves win become ashamed, 1t
Is behaved, Of their language, and viii
strive to hide all possible trace of Il.
The study Of the Indian language Is be-
coming more general all the time. There
are many little papers published in the diff
ferent languages Of the tribes Of Indiana
