Aneroid Barometers.

The aneroid barometer has It's uses,
as il Is a small instrument which may
be carried around without getting out
OF gear, may he read at a glance
without adjusting" and Is as useful
compared to a mercurial barometer as
watch compared with a grandfather
clock. However 1t Is only very
roughly accurate. and even for de-
termining the altitude of a mountain
is not wholly satisfactory. A boy in
Boston Technology Institute was
the. altitude Of a building with an
aneroid barometer His answer was:
II would let Il down to the ground on
a string. and measure the string. "
The professor. who seemed to think
this was about all an anerOid was good
for. gave the boy an "A" for his
answer.
Now what do you know about that ?

Perhaps Henry D. Thoreau of Con-

only American author of renown
whose works were not published until
after his death. He published but
two books while alive, both at his own
expense. One of them had a moder-
ate circulation, the other almost none.
All his life he kept a journal, and all
of this has subsequently been pub
nshed, so that his works now total
about 30 volumes. all of which are In

SociGble in Food Hunt

English scientists insist the eels are
the only residents Of the water which
can hunt their food In company, work
ing In a pack as wolves do and rush
ing up a stream, eating all they meet
or find, flesh, fowl or insect, devour-
Ing spawn and nosing out the small
fry from their hiding places under the
rocks and weeds along the banks.
It has become a common expression
among the scientists to speak Of the
eels as the wolves Of the stream,
counting them even worse than the
pike, that dashing, big eater Of the
waters, tigerish ID ferocity and appar-
emily never full Of food. These learned
writer's declare they have known a
large number Of eels to attack a vic
tim in mass formation, when one Of
their number would be unable to be
master Of the situation.

Notables of Athens
Gathered in Agoro

The Agora in Athens, probably the
richest prize of archaeology today, was
the most famous market forum in the
world. A tourist, in the days of
Herodotus, went to the Acropolis.
But an Athenian went TO the market
place, the Agora, where he could buy
-four, and olives, Hymettian honey in
lieu Of sugar, and currants from Cor
inth. Or he tarried and listened to
homely snub-nosed Socrates standing
IN an arcade confusing an Athenian
by a few cleverly selected questions.
In the Agora Solon posted his laws
which earned the perpetuation of his
name in the word "solon" for lawmak-
er. There Demosthenes delivered the
famous orations against Philip Of
Macedonia. There Socrates stood
stock still for Il hours or more, while
he thought out new principle of phi
losOphy. Also, ii was through the
Agora that the sharp-tongued cynic.
Diogenes, wandered with a lantern,
fruitlessly searching for an honest
man.

CRIsFIELD WON SHORE LEAGUE
Declared Winner of the 1926 Pennant
BY the League Directors

Crisfeld was declared the winner Of
the pennant in the Eastern Shore
League at a meeting Of the League
Directors on Monday following the de-
cision Of President J. Harry Rev that
Dover should forfeit twenty-three
games and Cambridge twenty-five
games because they played Atkins,
whom the President claimed is class
player. Dover closed the season by
dividing their final four games with
Easton. Easton won the two games
played in Dover while the Senators
captured the two contests staged in
the Maryland town. Crisfield will
participate in the Five State Series
which will open in Crisfield next Mon
day with the winner Of the Blue Ridge
League. Frederick and Hagerstown
are now engaged in a series of five
games to determine the winner of that
circuit. Hagerstown won the pennant
for the first half of the league, while
Frederick won in the closing session.
The first two games Of the series will
be played in Crisfeld and the third
contest will take place in Easton. The
scene Of the battle will then shift to
Blue Ridge territory where the re-
mainder Of the games will be played.
