Pm Not Afraid.

Mrs. Helen Williams tells the follow.
ing: Not long ago 1 stood by the death
bed of little girl, From her birth she
had been afraid Of death. Every fibre
of her body and soul rccoiled from the
thought Of it.
Don't lot mo die." she said, "don't
let me die. Hold me fast. Oh, I can't

Jenny" said, "you have two little
brothers in the other world, and there
arc thousands of tender-hearted people
over there yho will love you and take
chre of YOU"
But she cried out again despairingly,
"Don't lot me go; they are strangers
over there"
She was little country girl, strong.

she was raised on the frontier, the fields
were her homo; she Stunned the pre-
sence of strangers with that childish
embarrassment born OF beautiful ina.
gination and faith in the possibility OF
unknown manhood and womanhood in
othors, based doubtless upon the coming
worth Of her own womanhood. In vain
we tried to reconcile her to the death
that was inevitable "Hold me fast,
she cried, ''don't let me CO."
But even as she was pleading, he,
little hands relaxed their olinging hold
from my waist and lifted themselves
eagerly aloft; lifted themselves with
such straining effort that they lifted the
wasted little body from its reclining
position among the pillows. Her fact
was turned upward; but it was her eyes
that told the story. They were filled
with the light OF divine recognition
They saw plainly something that We
could not see; and they grow brighto,
and brighter, and her little hant
quivered in eagerness to go where
strange portals had opened upon he
astonished vision. But even in tina
supreme moment she did not forgeu tx
leave word of comfort for those wht
would gladly have died in her place.
Mamma she was say, ''mamma
they are not strangers. I'm not afraid.
And every instant the light burned more
gloriously in her blue eyes until at las
it seemed as if her soul leoped fortl
upon Its radiant waves, and in tina,
moment her trembling form relapsec
among its pillows and she was gone.

The Great Russian Telescope.

The great telescope for the Russian
government has been completed by Alvan
Clark and sons Of Cambridgeport, Alassa.,
and Is ready for shipment. This lnstru
ment has an aperture of thirty inches and
a local length Of forty-fve feet. To test it
the Clarks erected in their grounds tenn
porary tube on pier of brick twenly-seven
feet high. This mounting Is in the open
air. A few days ago some of the astrono-
mers of the country were invited to view
the heavens through this telescope before
it is sent to Europe. 1t is now the largest
telescope IN the world and number &C.
cepted the invitation and visited Cam
bridgeport. Among those attracted by the
great instrument was the astronomer of
the Providence Journal, who describes
what he saw in that paper.
The night was very cold, but still and
clear. The objects viewed by the party
were Saturn, Jupiter and the great nebula
In Orion. The view of Saturn revealed
the most delicate markings On the rings
and disc, and gave TO the moon Titan, a
perceptiblc disc. The planet did not ap-
pear much larger than in telescopes of less
size, but the light was very brilliant,
revealing features which are rarely seen.
Owing to atmospheric or other causes, the
definition was not as good as IN smaller
| instruments. The view of Juplter was
exceedingly fine, the wonderful cloud
colorlng appearing IN all its glory. The
moons appeared like planets of consider
able size. The definition was, however,
far from perfect and it may be said here
that there are but few nights in a year IN
| which the air Is in snch condition as to
give good definition in great telescope.
The loss of definition from atmospheric
causes increases very rapidly with increase
| OF aperture, and the most perfect definition
| Is secured IN small Instruments of good
| construction. The matter OF definition
did not affect the seeing in the view of the
great nebula in Orion and this splendid
| object came out IN all its wonderful pro-
portions. This nebula has probably re-
ceivcd moro attention from astronomers
than any other object In the heavens.
The naval observatory at Washington has
recently issued large volume on 1t, giving
drawings by tue earliest astronomers.
The great telescope objective will now
60 to Russia where 1t will be mounted by
the government for the use of OTTO Struve
in the observatory Of Pulkowa, nine miles
south Of ST. Petersburg. There Will soon
be larger telescope in this country, as
one OF thirty.slx inches aperture, ls being
constructed for the Lick observatory on
MT. Hamilton, California. Mr.. George
Clark while In this city last iall mounting
Dr. Swifts telescope in The Warner oD.
sorvatory, expressed the opinion that thirty
six inches was the limit for the present.
He believed that second refracting teles-
cope of that size would not be made, but
the tendency would be to tho use of
smaller instruments that could be used to
/ greater advantage and on more numerous
occasions. There ls reason to believe that
the thirty-slx inch telescope will be sonnc-
whst disapl o:nting, however perfect 1t may
be optically.
