 Field Marshal Haig, former Premier As quith and Lords Derby, Chaplain, Dur ham and Lonsdale were among the many notables present. Lord Lonsdale walked for three miles with the crowds on their way to the course when his automobile broke down.
 Thousands of persons camped all night on the course, and at daybreak still thousands of others trooped along the various roads or came to the Downs in automobiles, taxicaps, dogcarts and jaunting cars. Notwithstanding the great popularity of the automobile as a means of conveyance, numerous coaches of four were to be seen along the road ways carrying their gayly dressed rac- ing enthusiasts to the track.
 The result of the race proved a wind fall for the bookmakers, for enormous sums had been wagered, ranging from a shilling to hundreds of pounds on the badly defeated favorites

Old schooners Become Baroes.

Disposal Of large numbers Of old
schooners, to say nothing of an over
supply of new wood ships, has been a
problem for the past few years. River
and canal men, meanwhile, have been
facing shortage Of barges: Putting
these two facts together, Eastern ship
builders have now evolved new form
Of schooner barge, made by removing
the upper works and the below-deck
cabins and bulkheads Of the schooners.
Such barges are capacious and have
the advantages of speed in towing and
seaworthiness for coast work, and If
lost from a sea tow can make port
with a. jury rig. In South America as
well as the United States, rebuilt
sch00ners for barge work already are

Thermometer Deterioration.

OSkVt1VvOSuVtus
Even thermometers become old, and
consequently inaccurate with age, mer-
curial instruments reading too high
and spirit instruments too low. In the
former case the bulb appears to shrink,
thus forcing the quicksilver too far up
the stem. This gradual shrinkage is
supposed to be due to the fact that the
external pressure on the bulb may be
considerably higher than the internal
pressure, the air as far as possible hav-
ing been removed before the glass is
sealed. On the other hand, the spir-
it thermometer is sealed with the bulb
covered in freezing mixture, in order
to lock up in the glass as much air as
possible. The instrument thus starts
with sthe internal pressure which in
time appears to be reduced either by
expansion Of the glass under the In.
ternal pressure or by leakage.-Scien-

This fight occurred in the Panther

C'atawba Indians
Quit Reservations
To Work i'm Mills
Land Given to Them Is So
Unproductive They Are
Compelled to Migrate in
Order to Make a Living

so, the Indian has turned mill hand.
They are making good workmen and
are drawing from SO to IS day.
o. M. Pursley, contractor Of Rock
Hi, says that the condition of the
Indians who have stuck to the reser-
vation is pathetic. With prices gone
soaring as he believes that most Of
them still there would be on the verge
of starvation, if it wasn't for the small
state appropriation.
The number of Catawbas is steadily
dwindiing. Infiuenza killed many Of
them, and civilization general is mean
ing death to the tribe that was once
strong and possessed of rich lands.
There aren't many pure blooded
Catawbus left, but when they marry
outside their tribe it is only with men,
bers Of the white race.
How South Carolina shall deal with
the Catawba Indians is q problem.
Some say that the state should double
its appropriation to them. Others say
tnat they should no longer be treated
as wards but that they should be given
ter contcnders believe that with such
incentiye the Satawats would make
thelnse'> - independent. Z the same
time tnelc IS a general ioelng that
the Il should do better by the rem
nant tl'e tribe than it has in the
past.
The "a awbas retain some OF their
old customs, even if they haze become
modem enough to 60 to work in the
mills, Thev have a chief, in name at
least, IL ti.c person Toad Harris, one
of the Iew remaining pureblooded Ca
tawbas. He decides minor disputes,
but when anything OF importance is at
stake, each Catawba decides for him
self.
The indians have a school on their
reservation, and one Of the brightest
indian maids is the teacher. Her name
'a Rosa Wheelark, and she is q grad
late Of Carlisle. Many Of the Catawbs
spare the time from fighting The high
cost of living. Some want tr learn and
some don't, just like any other chill
dren
Time WAS when the Catawbas lived
ripe old age, and legends handed
down contain records Of many who
lived longer than the allotted three
score and ten. There arc few or the
reservation more than sveenty years
cid, but under the conditions Of pow
erty and wretchedness that now besct
the tribe not many of the young ones
will live that long.
For the last few years the girls Of
the tribe have been marrying when they
were only fourteen years old, in the
hope of bettering their condition Many
of them chose Whito hnshanIc hu+ M.
Z few have found that marriage
brought worse instead of better conGi-
tions.
1t is the younger and more enter
prising of the tribe who have gone to
.he mills to work, and it is predicted
that they will DO well and that their
success will show the rest Of the Ca
