CENTRAL HIGH NOTES Dr. Apple Speaks The morning session had the pleasure of hearing Dr. J. H. Apple, president of Hood College. Frederick. Maryland, speak at the morning session of chapel yesterday. Dr. Apple had spoken to the afternoon session Thursday, and commented on the fine courtesy that he had received at the hands of the princ iple. faculty and students of the school. During the course of his talk, he told the real story about Barbara Fritchey, who Whittier has made famous in his poem. He said that the real Barbara Fritchey was a little school teacher who waved an American flag from the porch of her schoolhouse on the main street of Frederick the entire time the Confederate Army was marching through the Maryland town. General "Stonewall" Jackson, he said, placed a rebel guard with a bayonet to see that she was not injured by any men of the passing army, and later sent a regi mental band to serenade the brave wo man. This story was told to Dr. Apple by a woman of Frederick, who was one of the little girls under the charge of the Yankee school teacher. The purpose of his talk was to inter est the girls of the school in the col lege he represented, and he urged that every girl, who can possibly arrange, go to college. He then pointed out some of the advantages Hood College offers, Your Plants pi fijjjjjj flowers, ! If!

W." asks if It is true j that the aneroid barometer is sup- I planting the mercurical instrument j for ascertaining heights, predicting i weather changes, etc., by measuring : the pressure of the atmosphere. I I wish it were true, for, as "A. W." I says, the aneroid is a delightfully ; interesting instrument, I know of few | mechanisms that I would rather put 1 into the hands of intelligent youth j than a pocket aneroid barometer, j I commend it to the attention of i those who are puzzled in the selcc | tion of Christmas or birthday pres | cnts. A bright boy will learn a lot |of science, and learn it so uncon | sciously and pleasingly that its ac i quisition will seem like play, if he I carries a watch-shaped aneroid In j his pocket. But, as to substituting the aneroid for the standard mercurial barom eter, I am very doubtful if it can ever be done, that is. for accurate observations. I<"or ordinary pur poses the substitution was made long ago. The mercurial barometer is a cumbersome and frail Instru ment. constantly in danger of be ing broken, and requiring many precautions in its use, while the aneroid, in its smaller forms, is just as portable as a watch. Then, too, it is sufficicetly accurate to be used by aeronauts, mountain climbers, the precaution being taken to compare its indications as frequently as pos sible with those of a standard mercu rial instrument. I have carried a "watch aneroid" to the top of the highest Alps and found that it indicated the eleva tions accurately enough for ordi nary information. A similar in strument, of less range, graduated to indicate changes of a few feet will most Interestingly show, by the movements of its needle, the difference of elevation between two lloors in an office building or a house. I have thus measured the depths of caves and of complicated cavi ties, formerly the cisterns of active geysers, or boiling springs. In the Yellowstooie National Park. Few things can add more to the interest and profit of a country vacation, es pecially in a hilly or mountainous region, than the possession of a small aneroid. As to reading the coming weather changes on its face, that is not so simple, because the relations of the atmospheric pressure to the local weather are not always clear Nevertheless, with practice, much may be learned in this respect from the Indications of an aneroid. For that. purpose a "clock aneroid" is preferable to a smaller instrument. In the form of the "weather-glass" this instrument is commonly used on ships. But, it Is as an instrument of popular education that the aneroid barometer ought to be better known and more widely distributed. Its con struction in itself is full of informa tion not generally comprehended. Who ever thinks of the almost con tinuous changes in the pressure of the air. which play like the touches of fingers upon our bodies? These changes are sometimes concerned In the torments of neualgic pains, al though the sufferers may never ima gine where the enemy is concealed. We are weighed by a mass of air many miles in height, gradually thin ning above and becoming denser be low, and the total average pressure of the air at the bottom, 1. e., at the earth's surface, is sufficient to push a column of mercury to a height of about thirty inches in a vertical tube from which the air has been exhausted. Such a tube constitutes a mercurical barometer. The average air pressure, which keeps the mercury at a height of thirty inches, amounts to about fifteen pounds per square inch on all surfaces exposed to it. But even at sea-level, the pressure of the air, owing to alterations of temperature, moisture, etc., may be come so diminished that the mercury will rise only 27 or 28 inches, and then the force of compression on our bodies falls to 14 or 13% pounds per square inch, and the nerves may become aware of it. Just as they may when the pressure rises so that the mercury goes up to 32 or 33 inches, increasing the compression per square inch to lt>% or 10 pounds. In a general way low atmospheric pressure accompanies stormy weath er, and high pressure fair weather. So, in a sense, the weather follows the barometer es the tides follow the moon. But, if you rise above the sea level the mercury descends just as it would have done if an area of low pressure had come over it while it was at sea level, but in this case there are no attendant weather changes. For ordinary, rough meas urement it may be said that the barometer- falls one inch for each 900 feet of ascent, in climbing a mountain, after you have got up a few thousand feet you may become partially deaf owing to the difference in pressure on the two sides of your ear drums. They are swelled out by the denser air within. The aneroid barometer, instead of carrying a long tube of mercury, is furnished with a little metallic box made with very thin elastic sides, and then perma nently exhausted of air. The changing pressure on the out ride of the box easily causes the sides to sink in or swell out, and this slight motion is magnified by ingen ious levers, and then transferred to a needle, or "hand", moving around to a graduated dial, which shows just how much the pressure has in creased or decj-eased. —*> CHIEF TO RETURN Getysburg, Pa., March 29.—1t is expected that Gettysburg will soon hace with it its chief of police, who has been in France for eighteen months.

High Winds Cut Off Light at Marysville Marys ville, Pa., March 29.—The high winds of last night played havoc with electric light wires in several sections of the town. In Maple avenue, near the Marysville High school, a large tree was up rooted and tore a number of wires, leaving that section of town without light for several hours. Wires were torn in other sections, but employes of the Juniata Service Company were immediately notified and soon had them replaced. A number of billboards and trees were uprooted, but other than that little damage re sulted.

One winter you will use more eoal than you will another. That is natural. Some winters are colder than others. The winter of 19171918 was a severe winter. We will wager that you used a great deal more coal in that one winter than you have during the present winter. If you had an old style furnace this would, no doubt, have been noticeable. If \ou would have had the CALORIC Pipeless Furnace during that cold winter, you would have saved many tons of eoal, and especially when coal was so scarce. RESIDENCE OF IIOWARI) Z.

Of all the arrangements of the hymn, "O, Jesus. Thou Art Standing," the con ception of the late Pr. William Wallace OPehrlst. for a number of years director of the Harrisburg Oratorio Society and one of the biggest musicians in the east ern part of the United States, probably is the best. Pr. Gilchrist wrote the .nost penitent parts of the hymn into solos for contralto voice and contem plated the presentation by a voice of exceptional range, his lowest note being B below the staff and the highest E. The melody of the solo is employed as a theme for the choruses which follow three solo settings. The composition hnc had little recognition here, hut it frequently appears on the church pro grams in the big cities and invariably proves inspirational and compelling.
