bis pupils among whom he moyes about in

With very many Of the pieces which he thus
memorizes a single reading is sufficient, with
others two or three are required, according

Of the productions. When he desires to at
tend to his private correspondence he turns

not differing in any particular from those
used by seeing persons, and without an as
sistance writes his letters more rapid than

all the important works published for the

The Weeks Record.
Only one change is to be recorded in the
standing Of the American Association clubs
since last week. The Athletics have taken
fifth place from Baltimore, having won
three out of the four games played since
Saturday. The Alleghenys have settled
themselves more securely in second place
than they were a week ago, but have also
moved Just q hsir-bresdth from St. Louis
at the top. In the matter of games won the
clubs from the two sections divide the hon.
ors equally, the Eastern and Western teams
having together won and lost nine. The
terrific defeat the st. Louis sustained yes
terday at the hands of the Nets was a sur,
prise, and gives hope that the ons-time
famous club will yet make an effort to land
on top. although their move onward is paiu'
fully slow.

The Pompey Stone.

The famous Pompey stone, now in
the state museum at Albany, is the
most noted of very limited class of
relics. 1t is a bowlder about fourteen
inches long and twelve wide, bearing
on its face an unmistakable figure and
inscription. 1t was discovered at Wa
tervale, in the township of Pompey-
not far from Manlius, Onondaga coun-
ty, about sixty-tive years ago. His
torians and scientists have speculated
on its origin without positive results,
and it still remains as perplexing an
enigma as when first brought to no.
tice. The figure in the center of the
stone represents a serpent twining
about the trunk of tree. At the left
is plainly engraved Leo De - VI,
1920
On the right of the serpent is a cap
ital l. with several inferior marks,
doubtless meant for small letters, be-
meath which are two peculiar charac-
ters that look very much like Indian
tOtems.
This stone is supposed to furnish the
earliest known evidence of the presence
OF Europeans on the soil OF New York
state, and TO have been designed for q
grave monument for some unknown
Spanish adventurer who, with his COM
rades, had penetrated the wilderness
in search of gold during the early part
Of the sixteenth century. Rochester
