of is a matter which Prof. Lowell is not in
agreement with the larger number of astronomers who
have opportunities of observing Mars Let how

place there distinct markings Mars. These mark
ings have been known for very long time; and have
been mapped by many observers since Schiapare the
Italian astronomer announced certain pecuarties about
them 80 years ago. A point of which Lowell makes
great deal is that maps all coincide very closely
in setting down the places where the lines Mars
near and in tracing the directions which these lines
take 1t is hardly to that the lines appear
to nearly all observers as straight lines.
A new question however. arises: The question of
the trustworthiness of seeing" If imagines an

Signed Notes. Not Orders.

Some few months ago travelling men
who are alleged to have represented
themselves to many of the principals OF
schools in Montgomery county as repre-
sentatives of the State Board of Educa-
ton placed in the hands of the principals
certain books. The teachers in many
cases were approached first by an illeged
examination of schools for repairs. Ma
nv orders for these books resulted. The
teachers evoke up" few weeks ago
when they found they had signed notes,
Many of the books since shipped have
been refused only to be returned to the
teacher with "warning". In the case
of Mr.. Daniel W. Shorb, of Boyds, he
even signed the note, thinking it at the
time only an agreement, and being busy,
paid no further attention to the matter
The salesman, instead of delivering the
books in person to him, forced the win
dows at his residence and placed them
inside the living room, where they now
lie. The "agents" claimed to represent
