Schenectady ( ' on that side of the pinery' , 

 referring to the large number of pines 

 formerly growing between Albany and 

 Schenectady). According to Macauley, 

 the Ohnowalagantles, whom he calls a 

 clan of the Mohawk, lived at Schenec- 

 tady, which was situated about 17 m. w. 

 of "Albany, N. Y. He adds that the 

 Schaunactadas, apparently only another 

 form of the name Schenectady, whom he 

 calls a clan of the Mohawk, dwelt along 

 the Hudson at Albany and southwardly. 

 The lands of Schenectady were purchased 

 from the Mohawk by Arent Van Corlaer 

 and others in 1662, and the present city 

 founded. It suffered severely during the 

 later Indian wars, and in 1690 it was 

 attacked by French and Indians and 

 many of its inhabitants were mas,sacred.

Schist. A term applied to fissile and 

 foliated rocks which, although often mas- 

 sive in appearance, split readily in one 

 direction owing to parallel arrangement 

 of the constituent minerals. They are 

 quite variable in composition and are re- 

 ferred to as mica, hornblende, chlorite, 

 or quartz-schist, according to the predom- 

 inance of the particular mineral. The 

 schists were commonly referred to as slates 

 by early geologists, but the latter term is 

 now confined especiallj'' to those varieties 

 that split with considerable regularity. 

 Schists are widely distributed and were 

 extensively used by the native tribes in 

 the manufacture of implements. A major- 

 ity of the grooved axes and many of the 

 celts, gouges, and other articles, includ- 

 ing spear and arrow heads of e. United 

 States, are made of this material. The 

 color is usually gra}'. In texture the 

 schists are exceedingly varied, but the 

 tribes made' use only of the hard and 

 tough varieties. (w. h. n. )
