Tho Grcat Lick TelescOpe,

The object glass of the great Lick telescope
is now practically completed, and only awaits
examination and ap roval by the experts who
are to be appointed by the Lick trustees to
1est it. As all our readers probably know,
this enormous lens, by far the largest ever
made is thirty-s inches in diameter, and
has focal length of ffty-seven feet. 1t is
composed of two lenses, of which the front
one (outside) is an equiconvex lens OF crown
glass, while the other is concave lens OF
flint glass; one side of this-the one next the
eye-is very slightly concave, in fact almost
flat; the other, next the crown glass lens, is
considerably concave, the curvature being
somewhat deeper than that of the crown
glass surfaces The inner surfaces OF the two
lenses are separated by clear air space Of
about six and half inches, and there are
perforations in the steel cell which allow a
free circulation of air between them. The
glass disks were made by Fell, of Paris, and
they have been figured and worked by our
own Clarks in their modest but famous estab-
lishment in Cambridgeport The object glass
weighs $50 pounds. Popular Science News.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
HOW ELECTRIC CABLES ARE LAID
UNDER GROUND.

The Great Lick Telescope for San Fran
cisco-It IL Built at CambridgepOrt.
NIass..Silk Culture in America-Bun-
dies of Cable Wire.
One great trouble III putting telegraph and
telephone wires under ground is the difficulty
of insulating them. In spite OF utmost pre-
cautions and coating with extra tubing, the
electric current from one will skip through
the intervening air to another and confuse
messages. 1t is doubtful indeed il there is
any substance altogether non-conductive.
Pittsburg inventor, however, believes he
has a scheme for practically perfect insula-
ton His invention is given to the public
through an electric manufacturing company
of that city. By his plan he claims that tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light wires may
be placed underground without detriment to
the cleainess of the messages.
The method whereby electricity passes
through the air from one wire to another is
called induction This induction is as active
above ground as under, with the difference
that in trenches dug beneath the earths sur
face the bundles of wire are necessarily
nearer together than in the air, and the force
of induction is stronger

Frightened Future of Silk Culture,

Some years ago Edward W. Serrell, Jr.
of New York, undertook to solve the
problem of the automatic reeling of silk.
1t was difficult one, but it appears that a
satisfactory end has been reached after the
expenditure of several years of labor and con-
siderable sums of money. The outcome is a
silk reel which is now being put into opera
ton in the south of France through the CO.
operation of some of the leading banking
houses of Lyons This machinery makes SO
great saving in labor as to largely subor-
dinate this side of the question, and it is for
this reason that the silk raisels of our country
hoped by its aid to bring their efforts in es-
tablishing silk culture to successful ter
mination.
If the experiments contemplated are
brought to a successful issue, the increasing
of the home market for cocoons may then be
looked into with greater hopes for success.
The market for the product of this estab-
lishment is already an active one, as we in

Sand Paper.

Sand paper is at present made with pow
dered glass instead of sand. Glass is readily
pulverized by heating it red hot and throw
ing it into water, and finishing the powdering
in an iron mortar. By the use of sleeves Of
different sizes of mesh the powder can be
separated into various grades, from the finest
dust to very coarse, and these should be kept
separate A strong paper is tackled down
and covered with a strong size of glue, and
the surface covered with powdered glass Of
the desired fineness; when the glue is dry the
surplus glass is shaken or brushed off, Mus
lin is better than paper, and lasts much
longer in use

Mourning Millinery.

First mourning bonnets for widows are
made in very close cottage shapes with but
few loops or bows, and some Of the best orders
have been made with plain fiat folds of Grape
around the entire edge, and no loops or bows
of any sort. The veil should extend to the
feet in front and to the waist at the back,
with the front hem eighteen inches in depth
and the back hem six inches. Roll Grape is
preferred, and all wells are made from the
piece. Wells with woven borders are quite
out of favor.
For other than widows the wells are not as
long, many of them extending only short
distance below the waist. For parents or
children veil of medium length may be
worn over the bonnet, which should be very
simple in form, for it is impossible to arrange
veil satisfactorily over ny sort of trim
ming. Bonnets made of Carmelite, with a
veil of the same material, are preferable to
Grape for many occasions, and are in quite
general use for ordinary wear.

Mourning Jewelry,

In mourning goods there are many exceed
ingly beautiful designs. Some of these are
carried out in black onyx, which, by the way
like fine English Grape, is always in fashion
and some of it is finished in black enamel
In the exclusive fine goods, especially where
floral patterns are employed, pearls and
diamonds are much used for the enrichment
of the jewelry. For gentlemen's wear are
mourning scarf pins Stimulating small flower
in black enamel or onyx with a diamond
quivering in the center Ball ear rings appear
in onyx and jet goods, as do also bead
bracelets and necklaces The variety Of de-
signs and finish in queen chains for mourn
ing affords wide field for selection.-Jewel-

DRESSES FER FALL.

1t is suitable for all outdoor occasions, or
travelling. 1t is of two kinds Of goods. The
lower skirt is of bayadere striped pattern
and falls plain and scant. The overskirt is of
plain goods and is draped full. It may be of
any of the colors now SO fashionable. Ladies
must select their own colors. It may be said
that dark blue and the deep rich wine color
now so common suit almost every COM
plexion.
The costume in the picture is draped rather
full for very heavy goods With drapng
slightly more scant the same model will serve
very well for the thick cloths of winter The
overskirt is arranged in cascade to show the

Asphaltum in Building.

The use of asphaltum in building is stated
to be largely increasing, principally as a pre-
vention against damp cellar walls and under
ground mason work, coating for cisterns, etc.
The usual method of applying it is to reduce
to semi-liquid state, in large iron pot over
good fire, sufficient asphalt to about two
thirds fill the pot, care being taken that the
fame does not rise over the top of the pot
and ignite the asphalt. The wall is made as
dry as possible, and the joints somewhat
rough, to admit of the asphalt penetrating
the pores and securing hold; the wall is then
covered with asphalt applied with long
handled brush, while the material is hot, and
brushed in well, a coating one-half inch thick
being as perfect protective as thicker one
A barrel of asphalt, as found in the market,
heated and applied to vertical walls of brick
will ordinarily cover about $50 square feet of
surface and produce most lasting results.

tASHIONuETS.

Invitations to wedding or large party
should be sent out quite two weeks before the
event.
In entering dining room at dinner party
the host leads the way with the lady who is
to sit at his right hand, and the hostess brings
up the rear with the gentleman whom she is
thus to honor.
Elaborate designs of embroidery are not
now used as much as simpler rows of feather
and brier stitching, done in white or red on
blue wool, or blue on white, for the collars,
cuffs, vests and borders of morning dresses
for the house, and also for children's dresses
and cloaks.
Features in fall fashions are waistcoats Of
various kinds, long over draperies, long
waists, short shoulder seams, sleeves loose
above the elbows, full skirts, side panels, lit
tie or no looping to skirt draperies. many but
tons, high tapering hat crowns, high coiffurcs
and very high dress collars.

Engagement Rings.

A solitaire diamond of from one to two ant
a half carats remains the favorite ornament
for the engagement ring. For those who like
colored stones, a ruby or sapphire lin pref
erence to an emerald or pearl is set with d
diamond diagonally, or ''cross-head," as it is
called. The bride now gives her fiance al
engagement ring containing cats eye with
diamond each side, or else sapphire be
tween diamonds embedded in tho gold in
gypsy fashion. The wedding ring is a simple
gold band, not too broad-indeed, very much
more slender than that formerly worn; il
should be of gold of eighteen or twenty-five
carats, the first being harder and more dur.
able, and the latter more yellow.

Dress at Weddings.

At noon weddings in church, conducted in
the quiet English fashion, only the bride and
her maids are without bonnets, even the
BRIDES mother wearing bonnet, made of the
fabric of her trained dress. At afternoon
weddings in church the bride designates such
of her friends as she wishes to come without
their bonnets, giving the ushers lists of their
names and of the seats assigned to them.
Other guests wear visiting costumes of cloth,
velvet, or of silk combined with velvet. to
the church, and also at the reception imme-
diately afterward at the house At evening
weddings null dress toilets are most worn,
but in this era of informality they are not
obligatory for ladies, as they are for men,

The actors come i'll front of the lamp and
their shadows are thus shown wildly on the
sheet, their bulk increasing and decreasing
according to distance. When they jump over
the lamp from behind their shadows appear
to descend from the roof, and when they
jump back again--that is, from the sheet
their shadows appear to vanish into the sky.
The actors may be dressed in various fam
tastic ways; for instance, an old man may be
represented by a boy in his fathers great
coat, tottering along by aid of stick; an old
woman may be played by little Kate or Jen-
ny in grandmother's bonnet or shawl, and
Tiny Toddles may be made to appear as
miniature clown by means of a paper cap
and large pair of knickerbockers with legs
stuffed. In this way amusing scenes have
been performed; the more activity displayed
by the actors the more fun. Tables chairs,
etc, may be introduced, and much merri-
ment is caused by one boy jumping over the
back of another and vanishing at each jump.

Inexhaustible Fertilizer.

DR.. W. J. Graham, of Dakota, who has been
pursuing prolonged investigations of the al
kali which is more or less abundant on the
western plains, states that the basis of the al
kali is common salt, derived from rock salt
formation underlying the region; and by per-
meation to the surface it there undergoes the
chemical reactions which give it its apparent
form and composition. He believes that the
alkali will afford valuable and really mex
haustible fcrtilizing material.

For Cleaning Gloves.

Benzine or naphtha is excellent for cleaning
gloves, but it is too strong for delicate colors.
Those of light shades may better be cleansed
by putting on the hand and rubbing with a
piece of sponge dipped in milk; little white
soap may be used also. The greasy nature of
the milk keeps the kid soft and counteracts
the alkaline effects of the soap. Black kid
gloves may be renewed by the application of
a mixture of sweet oil and ink or the dressing
made for ladies' boots. A crumb of stale
bread rubbed over the glove will often re-
move much dirt.
