THE ISLANDS sHRIHK1EINe

The gradual disappearance from view of
number of Chesapeake Bay islands is
causing no little concern to residents of
the Eastern Shore, Well along in the
nineties many of the sea islands we're
prosperous communities and contributed
in no small measure to the prosperity OF
the counties in. which they are situated.
To-day some of them are almost entirely
hidden from view, nothing remaining to
mark the once busy towns but few RAM
shackle buildings here and there that
were not worth removing to the main
land.
Here many residences have been moved
further up on the island within the last
decade because Of the apparent sinking of
the lower end of the island. From tie
steamboat landing out in Tangier Sound,
to the island, to which it is connected by
pier something over mile long, there
once we're fertile fields.
Smiths Island, below Crisfeld, which
lies partly in Maryland and partly in Vir.
ginia, once was one of the largest islands
onthe Eastern Shore, but for the past 10
or Is years the waters have risen over it
to such an extent that hundreds Of island.
ers have raztd their homes and with all
their belongings moved over to the main
land where they rebuilt and began life
anew.
Hollands Island, once the richest island
On The The SShte=e SShte=e ffEeaa n.ementasE stand-
point, and the most thickly settled, now
has but very few over 100 persons living
there. Ten or Is years back it was about
eight miles long by five miles wide, to-day
it is not over FIVE in length and its great
est width is barely mile. Captain
William c. Bennett, one Of the wealthiest
men on the island, bought batch of
town lots in Cambridge four years ago,
razed every dwelling house that he owned
on the island, brought them to Cambridge
in his vessels and rebuilt them.
Sharp's Island, it was once thought,
would become great watering-place for
Baltimore capitalist, took about 800
acres of land to build summer resort.
They started in by erecting magnificent
hotel, and would have proceeded further
with their Improvements had not their
attention been attracted by the graz
rising of tue water over the island, whe !.
upon they abandoned their scheme "a
left the hotel to its fate. The waves frd N
the bay and river have almost completely
demolished the hotel. Thirty years aao.
old residents Of Sharp's Island, say, thby
could get from what is now the manila IA
to the island by crossing a wide bridR Be
that spanned the stream which made Ii
an island, but now there is nea rly 70 hr
miles of water between the two points.

NOON DOES NOT AFFECT POTATOES

Aft.r exhaustive experiments in potato
planting the United States Department of
Agriculture has to say that, in season,
one time is as good as another to put
potatoes in the ground. Almost every
one, even if he were not reared in the
country, has beard of the idea about
planting potatoes in the dark of the
moon. The field workers of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have been investi-
eating the matter and have found that
20 per cent. of the farmers of this alleged
enlightened country put in their crops
and do good many other things about
the farm governed solely by the moons
phases. Many farmers will tell you that
If you plant potatoes in the dark of the
moon they will run to tubers, and il in
the light of the moon they will run to
tops, and crops are planted accordingly.
There is usually basis in fact for any
superstition; and the moon superstition
is so deeply rooted that a number Of
experts from the Department of Agricul-
ture, while going up and down and across
the land, have made it their business to
study the question, and see whether there
might not be germ of truth or, at least,
some reason for the general belief that
the moons phases have an effect on ami
NAL and vegetable life. They have con-
cluded after patient investigation that the
moon myth is one of the comparatively
few myths that date back to pure savagery
and has absolutely not an atom Of ecien.

perstition for several years and raising
just as good crops when the moon was
one way as when it was the other. There
fore, once and for all, it is conclusiVely
decided that there is nothing to the
theory that potatoes should be planted
in the dark of the moon. All OF this
may not seem very serious investigation
for great government.to undertake, but
the work nevertheless has been inter-
esting to the scientists, and if they have
succeeded in weaving few from the
old superstitions about planting potatoes,
they have been well paid for their work.
