Building a Great Telescope.
ALyAN CLARKs GROWING WORK
BRINGING THE MOON WITHIN A HUN
DRIED MILES.
BcsToN. March 19.-The largest re-
fractng telescope in the world is now
in process OF construction in the mod
est workshop of the venerable Alvan
Clark, the eminent telescope maker,
in Henry street, Cambridgeport The
two disks of glass go to form the lens
of the great Lick telescope, which will
be placed in the observatory on the
peak of Mount Hamilton, bequest of
the California millionaire, James
Lick. These TWO circular glasses are
valued at $25, 900 each, and, if de-
stroyed, they could not be duplicated
within the next six months for million
of dollars. The disks were cast
in Paris, the order being given
five years ago, but the fail
ures were so numerous that they
were not received by Messrs Clark
until last September. When finished
the lens will be 80 inches in diameter,
SIX inches wider than the one which
they recently completed for the Rus.
sian government. Since receiving
the blocks last September Mr.. Clark
and his sons have been constantly at
work upon them, but they do not ex-
pect to have them completed much
before next fall. When completed
the two lenses will weigh about 700
pounds. The work of polishing the
disks has now reached that stage
where the removal of few grains
more or less from the wrong place
would ruin them. The only ipstru-
ment used is the hand smeared with
rouge, a polishing substance finer
than the finest emery.
Some idea of the power of the in
strument may be gained from the
statement recently made by an as
tronomer, that gazing at the moon,
240, 600 miles away, that orb by this
telescope will be brought to within
less than 100 miles from the eye of
the beholder. Mr.. Clark on Monday

Consul RYDER, at Copenhagen, fur
nishes the state department at Wash
ington with some very interesting and
suggestive facts concerning agricul-
ture in Denmark. 1t IS shown, for in
stance, that the farmers Of that coun-
try are much better off than those of
Great Britain and France, because
they began some years ago to turn
their attention to dairy and livestock
business instead of devoting their eff
forts entirely to the growing of grain.
This is lesson which American agri.
culturalists need to learn above ali
others. The time has come when they
can no longer rely upon profitable
prices for wheat, corn and cotton, and
the sooner they begin to change their
operations accordingly the better it
will be for them in every respect.

A VALUABLE crystalline for wood
or paper may be obtained, it is stated
by mixing very concentrated solu-
ton of salt dextrine and laying the
thinnest coating of the fluid on the
surface to be covered by means Of a
broad, soft brush. After drying, the
surface has beautiful, bright, moth
er-of-pearl coating, which, in conse.
quence Of the dextrine, adheres firmly
to paper and wood. The coating may
be made adhesive to glass by doing it
over with alcoholic shellac solution.
Sulphate of magnesia, acetate of soda
and sulphate of tin are among the
salts which produce the most attrac-
tive crystalline eoatings. Paper must
first be sized, otherwise 1t will absorb
the liquid and prevent the formation
OF crystals.

GRADUALLY, but with altogether
too slow a pace, England is waking
to the fact that the House of Lords is
unnecessary, absurd and worthy only
to be abolished. The House Of Lords
has no right to exist in a country that
processes to be governed by the people
to the extent that England does. Mr..
Lab0uchere introduced resolution a
few days ago, IN the House of Com
mons affirming that "a hereditary
chamber of legislation is inconsistent
with the principles of representative
government and defeated by slen-
der majority Of thirty-six votes. The
minority vote was twice as large as
ever before, and the narrow margin
might have been wiped out had all
the Liberals voted. This direct thrust
at the House of Lords shows that the
Commons are growing weary to the
Anticipated shackles that hamper their
action. The Lords are not a salutary
check to English legislation they are
a prejudiced, bigoted stumbling block
in its path.

THE public debt of Great Britain at

ed that Premier Gladstone's proposed
land measure for Ireland will add
$3.50, 100000, or $3.50, OOO,O 600, to this
debt, increasing the amount to 81 500,
900, 0OO-a staggering load that would
require greatly increased taxation and
burden every enterprise of industry
and commerce. But few statesmen
would have the courage to offer such
a measure to the people on whose
support they depend for the possession
of power.
