There is also a method of estimating altitudes by means of tables worked out on the basis of the reading of the barometer. Differences of temperature affect the density of the air, and consequently exert a certain Influence upon an aneroid barometer. This influence has to be taken Into account when differences of altitude are being determined by the aid of this instrument The table, showing allowances that must be made for temperature, most generally used Is that prepared by Professor Airy, late astron omer royal of Great Britain, in which 31 Inches of pressure represent the zero of altitude, assuming that the temperature is 50 degrees Fahrenheit. funeral Far Snake time ago a rattlesnake was captured In the Blue Ridge foothills by wood haulers.

WILD WESTCOTTS" VERY LAUGHABLE Decent Pan That Ought to Stay at Cort Till Straw Hats Stale There's a lot of fun in "The Wild Westcotts" at the Cort Theatre, Chicago. Mr. Frazee, producer of this comedy success, has provided this attraction with the cleverest bunch of youthful actors the season has crowded into one delightful entertainment. It is a peach of a show viewed from any point, with a flood of intelligent laughs and plenty of other reasons for urging the wise and the elegant to spend their money at the Cort Theatre box office. The show is uproariously funny, clever clean as a whistle; it is a play that contains neither profanity nor dirt. Indeed, there is a certain informed innocency in "The Wild Westcotts" that bespeaks more intelligent sophistication than you will find in a half dozen wisecracking dramas of the night club and the pothouse.

If the theatre's guests are after speed, brightness and lively comedy, The Wild Westcotts" is the, play for their money. Performances will be given every night, with matinees on Wednesday and Saturday. The management announces that there will be no increase in the usual popular scale of prices that prevail at the Cort Theatre.
