A WONDERFUL INSTRUMENT.

Middle-Rged and elderly people will
 remember the excitement created
 throughout the world some thirty or
 forty years ago by the wonderful i'm
 provements made in the telescope by
 Lord ROsse. The two great defects
 which had hitherto baffied opticians
 were spherical alteration and absorp-
 tion of light by specula. By long series
 of carefully conducted experiments he
 succeeded in discovering a mode of
 operation by which the last defect was
 wholly obviated, and the other greatly
 diminished in amount. The metal for
 the speculum of his great telescope three tons weight-was poured into au iron mould which wos kept in an anneal-
 ing oven over sinteen weeks, SD that the
 metul should cool equally. It was then
 polished and mounted at a cost of Sl50,- OOO, the adjustments consisting of sys- tenn of chalns, pulleys and counterpoising weights, so complete in all its parts. that the ponderous instrument of twelve tons weight could be moved so as to point m any direction with almost as much precision as the ordinary equatorial of the observatory. Many miner improve ments have since been made in tele- scopes, and the finest mechanism in the world IS made use of in their construc- tin. Alvsn Clark X Sons have perhaps brought the business to the greatest perfection, and are now engaged on the | Lick telescope, which will be the most l perfect and by long odds the most eI- pensIve instrument that has ever been made. The labor already expend- ed upon it, and that which is to follow, clearly indicates that the cost when | completed will be something immense.
 The contract for the Lick telescope | was made in 1880. and it was not till 1884 that the object glass was successfully moulded. The objective of the telescope is to have thirty-six inches clear sper- ture. The difficulty at the outset was m the casting of the crown-glass, which "oo ib ell Ol aTlS. hutn the founder has succeeded in casting his lump of glass. weighing several hun dred pounds, the clay pot in which it IS contained is broken away. The out side portions of the glass itself. being lmpregnated with the clay and other impurities, have to be cut away. This IS a most tedious process. If any ordi- nary cntting-tool were used, the glass would be apt to fly to pieces. It has to pe sawed by wire working in sand ana water. The process is therefore very slow and involves much time. The mass Of glass has to be pressed into the shape of disk, which can only be done by heating it nearly to the meltiOg point. so ts to le.ome plssto

Avoid the Wear and Tear.
Tine Century


 IL is remarkable fact that. although Christmas has been kept on the 25th day of December for more than thousand years. it's arrival seems as unexpected as if it had been appointed by the president No one is ready for it. although last year every one resolved to be SO, and about the middle of December there begins rush and hurry which is really more wearing than a May moving.
 In giving presents. be more anxious to give something which supplies want than to send some pretty 1T ,e which can only prove in the end an additional care. A little fOrethought and friendly putting Of yourself in anOthers plac. will make this possible. In the great world of books something can be found to suit every taste. Flowers are always a graceful gift. and can never become burdensOme by lasting after one has grown tired of them. There are numberless other things which can be procured, without a wear and tear of mind and body which make the recipient feel as David did of the water from the well of Bethlehem. that what cost so much was too valuable to be accepted.

This patient FrenchmRn tried to secure a perfectly moulded glass, but one after another flew to pieces in cooling. until he had made twelve successive failures. At last, in February 1884, after three years of time and labor. he succeeded in moulding glass that he believed to be perfect, and that is the object glass that Clark S Sons are now at work upon, which, with the completed telescope ready to mount, will, it is said, cost sl,000,OO0 and 1t is beleived will. in com pass of vision and magnlfying poUer. far surpass anything of the kind that has ever been attempted, and bring the moon within an apparent distcnce of 30 miles from the earth. This great telescope should enable us to determine whether the moon is inhabited or whether the ''msn in the moon" is a myth.

THE English are now considering the
 project of building a Narrow Gauge
 railroad from Suakin on the Red sea
 to Berber which Is on the main river
 Nile just below the mouth of Atbara
 rIyer. It is also said that they will give
 the contract for building the road to
 Americans; but We have DO idea our
 Narrow Gauge Co, will get the job, as
 the English government want from five
 to ten miles built a day, while tour
 folks" have only succeeded in building
 five miles in two years, The distance
 from Suakin to Berber Is 2SO miles,
 and at the rate of five miles every two
 years. ii would take "our folks" just ll2
 years, to build it. Wolseley and his
 little army would get tired of waiting for the wagon" besides our Marrow Gauge folks would be so aged, that they would not enjoy their wealth after they got il. Still ue shall not discOur- age "our folks, for no man can tell
 when lightning Is going to strike, though
 they do sey "it never strikes twice ID
 the same place" Well, who said it did?
 Yet, If Gladstone should hear Of our
 narrow-guage railway building and should cable for our best experts In the business, we could not suppress that patriotic spirit that sometimes is like ly to rise in the breast of every adult fellow citizen, and though We should have to delay the building of our read til their return-wO could not deny the old man, but would say in the fullness ot our heart, "GO down unto the shores of the Red Sea; even unto the town of Suakin, and build thou a narrow gauge road across the desert to Berber, where the children of Gladstone are sorely pressed by the False Prophet. Be not afraid, but brace up in the fullness of thy might. Take no camels nor asses with thee, as thou wilt find ne of these things lacking on thy arrival" We sin ceIely trust, however, that the old man will overlook Us in his search for expert expeiiters of narrow gauge railroads; not that We should begrudge hIm the use of ous best men for hundred years | or such matter. but because we have | pity on the poor Engli1h sailors and l soldiers on the Blue and White Nile.

BROWNS concurrent resolution, ask ing Congress to purchase a strip on the north Sestern border Of Sonora, ID order to give Arizona seaport, has passed both houses. We trust that the pro ject will not end in this resolution, but will be presented to Congress Tn such a way that its importance will be recoS- nized and measures taken to bring about the desired end. By the way, Il 6 presenting of this resolution would be a good begInuiug for Delegate Bean. If Col. Bean has the push We think be has Congress will be glad to do its part in orderto get nd of his importunIties.

IT seems that all that IS necessary to haul money out of the Territorial treas ury is to go off on some pretendel mIs- sion with some of the productions Of Ariz lna, and then present a bill for whatever is desired and the amount Is forthcoming. That Is what Murphy and Church did two years ago, and that is what Murphy is doing now. We need no expositious to call attention to our mInes. If we had loo Silver Kings, 2G0 Contentious and Grand Ceutrals and 800 Quiiotoas, we could easlly sell all O. them But the days for selling "wild- cats" have passed and no amount of exposition will revive them. We trust that the good common sense of members Of ths Legislature will cause them to vote against giving Murphy n single red cent He IS entitled to nothing and that is what he should have for his pay.
