THE NEW TELESCOPE FOE THE CHICAGO Obj
SERVATORT

The great Clarke telescope is shortly to be set up
In the Dearborn Tower at the University OF Chi
cago,
This instrument was manufactured By Mr.. Alvin
Clarke, ofCambrdge, Massachusetts, 1t was or
dered for the Mississippi College by Dir Barnard
who was then at the head of that institution, but
il new President of Columbia College The OBJ
iect glass was nearly completed in 1861 but the
instrument could not. ofccurse, reach its destna-
ton. The friends of Harvard College Immediately
began subscription to secure it to that institution
designing to put 10 up in place OF their own ia,
NOUS Frannhoier, but the subscription Jagged for
while and the University of Chicago stepped in
and carried of the prize.
Mr. Clarke received 81, ,lS7 for the object glass
and was engaged to mount it for $1,000 This lat
ter work is already completed, and the telescope
will be shipped and put up early in the coming
spring. The tower which is to receive it was built
by the munifcence of Mr.. J. Y Scammon at an
expense of $25, 600, and is named be him the Dear
born Tower, in memory of his wife, who died while
abroad some years since
The Clarke telescope is refractor, with an OBJ
jectlve eighteen and three-quarteT inches in the
clear apeture, and focal length of twenty three
feet Compared with the Harvard instrument
the largest of the kind in existence, wrote the
late Captain ellis, Superintendent sof the Nation
al Observatory at Washington 1T is asthrty -four
to twenty one, being thus more than oneh half lar
ger than any now in use. The eyes of the whole
scientific world are turned to Chicago awaiting the
result. When the instrument is properly noun
ted and manned no one can predict its future
When first completed the object glass was In
serted in a rude board tube, and drawn up by
means of tackle for trial In thus sweeping but
a small belt of the heavens, il caused at once dis
covery for which it received the most favorable no.
tice of foreign scientific associations and also took
the largest astronomical reward of Paris-The
Leland prize of fye--hundred francs. 1t is a mat
ter Of just pride and congratulation that this in
strument was manufactured by one of our country
men.
Professor Mixer who has managed this enter
prise from the beginning, is now in this city com
pleting the equipment of the Observatory. As
the most recent result of his efforts in this direo
ton meridian circle is ordered of the largest size
which has ever been manufactured, ana similar to
the Olcott circle Of the Dudley Observatory at Al
bany 1t is to be made BY Messls Pistor & Mar
