Show The Boy Agassiz. Louis Agassiz was so expert a fisherman fisher-man when a little boy he could catch them in his hand, fascinating them first by strange motions of his fingers. He kept a number of pet fish in a stone basin behind his father's house and was clever at taming field mice and all sorts of little animals and insects. He was an expert little cobbler and cooper, could make water tight barrels as well as a man and manufactured pretty shoes for his sisters' dolls. Chicago Liter Ocean. |
