Australian Iaxe1in Exnert..

The most important weapon of the
aboriginal Australian is the long spear,
which he throws by the aid of a "wom-
erah" or throwing stick The spears
are from seven to 10 feet long, and the
throwing stick measures about three
feet. AS cattle stealers the natives give
the Australian police much trouble.
When they have speared a beast they
cut off only enough meat for immediate
use, leaving the carcass to rot. Next
day. should they want more meat, they
do not scruple to kill another animal.

A siphosl Under the Hudsou.


Carrying the aqueduct under the
Hudson River promises to be the great
problem of the entire undertaking,
there being no precedent to copy from
1t is estimated that the Hudson siphon
will lead the great river of drinking
water down 1000 feet before a solid
bed will be found on which it can rest.
Test borings TO hnd out just what the
depth of the siphon must be have been
carried on almost continuously for two
years.
East of the Hudson the water sup
ply will pass thru series of little hills
and valleys that make the Topography
of the country like the teeth of a giant
saw. Between the east bank and Hill

waterway under small streams and

Great Enganeerisg Problems Involved.
With such a wonderful engineering
project underway as the Panama Canal
it is quite natural for the American
people in general to lose sight for the
moment of lesser engineering feats, but
in New York an engineering project is
being developed, W hich, in It's hugeness,
does not fan far short of the Panama
Canal, altha its sole object is to fur
nish water TO the city of New York.
! The Panama Canal is scheduled to
unite the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
at date not later than 1915, and at
cost that will probably reach $780,
100000. The New York water system
is scheduled to reach completion at
about the same time. at a cost of about
1852. 100000. A little over 500. .000.-
600 has already been expended on the
Panama Canal. while. altho close to
$27, 600, 600 worth of work on the water
system has been contracted for. no pay
ments of any consequence have been
made except for engineering fees. With
in a few months, however. the contrac-
tors will have started their drain on
the New York Treasury, and from that
time on the flow of gold from Father
Knickerbocker's pocket will give that
OF Uncle Sans interoceanic scheme a
close race
AS finally agreed upon, the Catskin
water supply undertaking will traverse
a total of lis miles. composed of an
aggregation of giant locks and dams
connected by great open cuts and deep
tunnels. All of the outlay of S162.-
100000 will be devoted to impounding
and delivering the waters Of the ESQ
pus. Rondout., Schoharfe and Catskill
watersheds The estimated daily yield
of these sources is $50. 200, 900 gallons,
but for the present at least only the
product of the Esopus watershed IS
available. This is because of the deci-
sion of the State Water Supply Com
mission. which has excluded the other
watersheds from being included. The
Ashokan reservoirs. in the Esopus VAL
ley, however. are being constructed with
the idea of taking care of the yield of
all Of these sources.
Greatest Artificial Reservoir.
The Ashokan Dam, which will create
the greatest artificial reservoir in the
world, is now under construction. The
reservoir will imprison the waters of
Esopus Creek and Beaver Kill River,
in Ulster County, SIS miles from the
center OF New York City, and will cover
an area of IA 200 acres. At it's nearest
point to New York it will be eight miles
west of the Hudson at Kingston, and
will extend inland a distance of 10
miles, with an average width OF nearly
mile. In area the reservoir will be
nearly equivalent to that of Manhattan
Island. At some points it will have a
depth of 100 feet. and the average
depth Of water before the wastage be-
gins to flow over the sills of the spill
way will be 80 feet. This great reser-

LID ENTIRELY OFF.
The Anti-Noise Injunction Was Not
Recognized Last Night.

The lid was off in Washington last
night-the anti-noise lid.
Along Pennsylvania avenue and the
streets running into it between 9TH street
and the White House there was one con-
tinual rattle and roar. 1t gave reason for
the opinion that Washington is a leather
lunged city, and Teutonic, Gaelic, oriental
and English yells blended in shouts meas
uring as great as Taft's victory.
AS the evening wore on parties of gay
young people appeared along the down.
town streets. Attics, it seemed, had been
secured for instruments that delight the
small boy and cause discussions in flats.
Horns and rattlers proved the most pop
ular. but where they failed tin pan or
whistle was impressed into service.
Even in the residential sections the anti
noise lid was off. Not infrequently the
usual quiet was broken with a Taft,

were without pupils last evening. Large

lace, Pennsylvania avenue, and geometry,
history and domestic economy were for
