Hendersonville, N. C. In a tiny mountain cabin near here, alone except for his dog, Robert Morris, seventy-seve- n years old, faithfully tends a fire started by members of his family five generations ago and hopes that before his death arrangements will be made to keep alive forever the flame that has been burning for 147 years. The aged mountaineer is the last of the Morris family, descendants of a brother of William Morris, who during the Revolutionary war gave all his wealth to the colonies and died in a paupers prison. He has never married and knows that when he dies there will be no son or other relative to take over the task of keeping the fire burning. That task fell to him more than 20 years ago, when his mother died. Her deathbed exhortation was to keep the fire going, and he has carried out the wish. Pioneers in Great Smokies. Ancestors of Morris were among the first white settlers of this Great Smoky mountain region. Matches were unknown and the building of a fire was a laborious process, accomplished only by rubbing two sticks together or by use of flint and steel.

I Pueblo Ruins in Idaho Studied by Museum Party Bruneau, Idaho. An archeologfrom the American Indian museum in New York city has penetrated the near wilderness of this region in search of prehistoric culture of the Pueblo Indian. , Led by Godfrey J. Olsen, director, the group will excavate a hitherto untouched area in their hunt for indication that the Pueblo tribes may have entered Idaho territory. caves and Rumors of walled-u- p cliff dwellings with picture writing in Owhyee led the explorers on. Culture of the Pueblo tribes has been traced to as far north as Contact, Nev., Olsen said, and it was considered highly probable that the prehistoric people had come into Idaho. , Search will be made along river and creek beds and other logical routes of travel the Indians may n have taken. a Idaho, virtually virgin territory as far as archeological expeditions are concerned, has been subjected only to one other such search. This hunt, also conducted by Olsen, was in 1929 along the banks of the Snake river, winding stream of no return. ical expedition Heavens Discovered to Glow With Invisible Ray ' Fort Davis, Texas. Dr. Otto Struve, joint director of the Mount Locke observatory in the Davis mountains and the Yerkes observa-- 1 tory of the University of Chicago, discovered that the midnight sky is lighted up with infra-re- d rays that dim the stars.

This choir will furnish the singing for the quarterly stake conference to be held at Randolph March 20th (next Sunday.) The conference program appears elsewhere in ths issue of Hie Reaper. A new camera installed at the observatory here was responsible for the discovery. The camera has a spherical mirror and a thin lens of ultra-violglass. Dr. C. T. Elvey and I used this instrument for photographing the sky with infra-re- d plates sensitive to radiations intermediate between the reddest visible rays and the heat rays, Dr. Struve said. We found to our surprise that the night sky is constantly luminous in infra-re- d light so that if our eyes were sensitive to these radiations they would see the sky as a luminous surface upon which the stars would appear relatively pale.

The blaze burns in a granite fireplace in the little cabin. The fireplace bears the date 1879, but it was built especially for the fire long after the cabin itself was constructed. Banked carefully during the day, while its aged guardian is tending his live stock and a few chickens, the blaze is allowed to flame - up brightly at hight. " - " ' Had Ten Months Schooling. Tall and spare, William Morris is a typical citizen of the mountain region where he has spent his entire life. His education was limited to about ten months in a tiny, nearby church, but among outsiders he is quiet and dignified. He speaks with a low, firm voice and appears reserved except with his mountain friends. An ambition of his youth to leave the mountain country for good soon - vanished and he has never remained away from his cabin for any length of time. , He went to New York last year to appear on a radio program and the visit resulted in the one concession to modernity to be found in the cabin a radio receiving set. Plans of individuals and organizations to preserve the fire after the death of its last ancestral keeper already have crystallized in a letter by the North Carolina Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution to the museum division of the' national park service. The D. A. R. has asked that the fire be moved to the Great Smoky mountains national park and preserved as a memorial, with William Morris as caretaker as long as he lives. After his death another caretaker would be appointed. lO Local and Personal J. Reulben Clark, jr., first councilor Bob Telford and Keith Jessop moin the first presidency of the L. D.
