DoStOn, January y.
Mr.. Gardner was inaugurated Governor
of Massachusetts to day The tenor of his
message is principally on the subject of our
foreign population, the hate of Americans
for them, the dangers to be apprehended
from them. He notices the great increase
of immigrants since 1910, and the crime
incident to it, and urges that craftsmanship
should interfere within the limits of the
Constitution, to direct ameoration and con-
troll these elements; he contends that the
dominant race must regulate The incoming
class, and recommends that all schools OF
the State, shall use the same language; to
dlsband all military companies founded in
developing exclusively foreign sympathies
to retain the Bible in all our public schools,
and to oppose every measure tending to a
union of Church and State. The Cover
nor is particularly severe on the subject of
imported demogogues, red republicans and
others who seek their own advancement at
the expense of the best interest of the coun-
try.
In regard to the present depressed con-
dItlon of industry, he says,our remedy is
not so much in Legislative enactments,
and IN tariffs us in cultivation Of a feeling
of patriotic nationality and united deter.
mination. encourage industry of the Amer
lean laborer BY consuming the home pro-
ducts of the shop, the factory and the field
in preference to imported fabrics or foreign
products. He recommends the repeal oil
the unconstitutional features of the LIQUOR
bill, and signifies his willingness to sane
ton constitutional act to suppress inlem-
perance.
He alludcs to the aggressions OF slavery.

a MAGNIFICENT EYE OF ScIENCE-The
Telescope recently procured for the Obser-
vatory as Ann Arbor Michigan, is the third
in size in the world. - 54a4
The object glass is thirteen inches in di-
ameter. Few persons have correct idea
Of the time, the to;l and the skill requisite
to prepare one of these glasses.
First, there are the manufacturers Of the
rough disks. A mass of glass weighing
about 800 lbs. is melted together When
in state of perfect fusion, the furnace is
walled up and the whole is left to cool grad
ually The cooling process occupies some
two months. By this process the glass is
annealed. Afterwards the furnace walls
are removed. The entire mass is then frac-
tured, the manner of doing this is a secret
with the manufacturers; but it is accom-
pllshed in such a way that every piece is
homogeneous in refractive power The
pieces arc next softened by heat and press
ed into moulds giving disks of different size.
The Telescope makers purchase these and
grind them into the required thickness and
lens-form
Two separate disks, one of crown, and
the other of flint glass, are necessary to
form an object glass. One of these is con-
cave, and the other convex. 1t is by the
union of the two that the object glass is
made aelromatic .I1 al1 Z.
The grinding is slow and difficult pro-
cess. As the utmost exactitude must be
obtained. First, the edge is ground TO en-
able the maker to see whether the glass is
clear and without air bubbles 1t not un-
frequently happens that many disks have to
be rejected When very superior glass
is. finished, it is of great value. The twelve
inch glass of the Cincinnati Observatory
alone cost $4,000.
And SO it is, that these grea: ldless eyes
