the citizens and merchants of Alex

How Little Girl Suggested the Invention
Of tue Telescope.

Some of the most important discover
les have been made accidentally; and it
has happened to more than one inventor,
who had long been searching after some
new combination or material for carry
ing out pet idea, to hit upon the right
thing at last by mere chance. a lucky
instance of this kind was the discovery
of the principle of the telescope.
Nearly three hundred years ago, there
was living in the town of Middeburg.
on the island of Walcheren, in the Meth
erlands, 7 poor optcan named Hans
LipperSheim. One day, in the year
lGOS, he was working in his shop, his
children helping him in various small
ways, or romping abont and amusing
themselves with the tools and objects
lying ON his work bench, when suddenly
his little girl exclaimed:
"Oh Papa, See how near the steeple
comes" Half startled by this announce
mcnt, the honest Hans looked up from
his work, curious to know the child
amazemeut. Turning toward her, he
saw that she was looking through two
lenses, one held close to her eye, and the
other at AIMS length; and, calling his
daughter to his side, he noticed that the
eye lens was planoconcllve, (or fiat on
one side and buIging on the other,
Then, taking the two glasses, he repeat,
ed his daughters experiment, and soou
discovered that she had chanced to hold
the lenses apart at their exact focus, and
this had produced the wonderful effect
she had observed, His quick wit and
skilled invention saw in this accident 4
wonderful di-covcry, lie Immediately
set about making use Of his knowledge
of lenses, and ere long he had fashioned
a tube Of pasteboard, in which he set the
glasses firmly at their exact focus.
This rough tube was the germ of thai
great instrum mt the telescope, to whicl
modern science owes so much. And i
was on October 22nd, 1908, that Lip
pcrsheim sent to his governmet three tel
escopes made by himself, calling then
''instruments by means of which to Sc
at a distance
Not long afterward another mar
Jacob AdrianSz, or NJ titus, of Alkmaar
a town about twenty miles from Am
sterdam, claimed to have discovered tn
principle of the telescope two years eal
lier than Hans Lipp .rshcim; and it i
generally acknowledged that to one c
these two men belongs the honor of il
venting the instrument Bat it seem
certain that Hans LipperSheim ha
never known nor heard OF the discover
made by Adransz, AMI 50, if Airians

ton with his fathers residence, stand.
ing two squares from Central Park-has
cost 100000, while the decorations on
the inside of the house will cost $500, 900,
the woodwork in the hall alone costing
$50, 900, that hall being 46 feet long by
Is feet wide. You can see by this how
much more money is being spent on the
interior of rich mems houses than on the
outside. Young Vanderbilt has bowl
ing-alley in his attic.
Mr.. Charles Tiffany has built 5000,
900 house at Seventy-second street and
Madison avenue, of the extraordinary
size of 125 feet by 100, with its roof 113
feet from the ground. Each floor will
be distinct residence for the various
branches of the Tiffany family. The
style of this house is called Dutch Re-
Nuisance, and Dutch forms are much
coveted by New Workers, who fancy
that they will be ranked with the old
Knickerbocker families if they can get
up notched gable somewhere.
Edward Clark, the sewing machine
man, has called his big hotel at Eighth
avenue and Seventy-second street the
Dakota. A Mr.. Hardenburg is build

The two new houses of the brothers
Robert and Ogden Goelet, on Fifth

to be ornamented in the style of the
East Indies, with silk hangings on the
walls, and furniture and stuff dragged
out of the old temples of India.

Home, which is mixed landlord and

city, called by such names as the Rem

In these seven buildings there is an in

Death Of a Sacred Elephant.

The Siamese nation has been plunged
into mourning by the death of "His
Sublime Grandeur the Court and Body
Elephant of the King" Says the In
dian Herald: eve regret to learn that
the animal departed this life in high
ly sensational manner, fraught with If
reparable disaster to the staff of the
household. One morning after hearty
breakfast. he went mad quite unex-
pectedly, and trampled five of his at
PENDANTS to death. To shoot him would
have been sacrilege. An attempt to
tranquilize his perturbed spirit by en-
circling him with huge ring of holy
bamboo, especially blessed by the high
priest of his own particular temple,
proved worse than Intellectual, for he
broke through the ring and all but ter
minated the high priests career upon
the spot. He was then with great diff
Guilty driven into close court of the
palace, where, after several furious en-
deavors to batter down the walls with
his tusks, he suddenly toppled over on
his side, and uttered last cry of rage.
Naturally enough, this heavy calamity
was attributed to criminal carelessness
on the part of one or other of the at
tendants entrusted with the sacred ele-
plants feeding. The king thereupon
Intercepted the members of his sub
lime grandeur's household in person
with respect to their treatment of the
| illustrious deceased, and failing to eli
cit any individual confession of delin-
quency, decreed that they should one
| and all be punished. Having thus
indicated propriety, his Majesty
assumed the garb of woe, and is under
stood to be still inconsolable for the
| loss"

SPRING FEVER,

Persons should not think lightly of that ieel-
ing of extreme debility, so common in the spring
of the year. 1t is often the forerunner of i'll.
health. 1t renders the system very susceptible
to disease and is caused by the blood being flied
with poisonous humors. The blood, by all means
should be kept healthy, otherwise its power tc
assimilate nutritious food becomes impaired, and
dyspepsia, liver complaint, headache, nervous
debility, extreme langour, weak kidneys, want Of
physical and mental endurance, and general pros
tration is the result. Since prevention is better
than cure don't wait for the final result of sprine
time ndisposition, when the first symptoms O.
langour are manifested, but begin using DIR
Guysott's Yellow Dock aud Sarsapasilla. AS
spring medicide, it excels all other remedies
gently but surely expelling the poisonous BLOOD
humors with which the system becomes impreg.
mated by the Incidental effect of changeablt
winter weather. 1t makes the blood red, rich
and pure, causes it to circulate with moye vim
enables it to renew the wasted tissues, and car
ries strength and vitality to every weakened part
of the human system, restoring impaired bodily
functions, and checking all decay of the urinary
digestive, and pulmonary organs, which, if neg
lected, too often ends in premature grave.

member lessons that they pay for
roundly.
The best OF it is that the railroad
managers are getting educated. They
have been compelled to appeal to COM
mercial bodies, to merchants, to public
Journals and public opinion, to save
them from the consequences of their
own acts. They have learned that
they cannot afford to make Transports
ton so profitable that new roads by the
score will start up to divide the bust
ness. They have learned that unlim-
tied diluticn of stock has its disadvan-
tages They have learned that public
distrust of the good faith aud wisdom
of railway management is particular
ly expensive inconvenient crop to cul-
tivate. They have learned that a mo-
nopoly is in greater danger just in pro-
portion as it becomes more powerful
and profitable. These are wholesome
lessons. We doubt whether any Com.
mission ever could teach them as eff
fectively as the experience of the last
year of unrestrained and unreg,Ilated
seif-government.-N. Y. Tribune.
