THE LICK TELESCOPE.
Interesting Points About the Largest In.

Interesting POINTS About the Largest Ahe
strumeat of the Kind Ever Made.
Passengers out of Boston on the Bos-
ton & Albany railroad may have noticed
just across the Charles river, at the first
bridge out of the city and opposite Cot
tagc Farm station, q handsome resi-
dence, and back of it a low, %round-top
observatory, and outside, near it. a long
white model of a telescope, and in the
same yard a two-story brick building.
The building is the factory where the
great Russian telescope was made, rs
we'll al many others also famous, and
where work is now going on for the
Lick telescope, which will be the largest
in the world. OF the two discs of glass,
each n yard in diameter, for the Lick
telescope, the flint glass has
been made a long time, but the
crown glass, although ordered five years
ago, was only received by the Clarks
in September last. 1t was made, after
repeated trials and failures, at an
establishment neal Paris, the only one
that could get out such a piece Of work.
Each glass cost S25, 900 in the rough,
and they can not be finished before fall.
At first, machinery could do a little
rough grading, but for months past the
bare hand only has been used in apply
ing the polishing substance, which is
rough. The glasses have now reached
a stage where tho removal of the small
portion of the surface in the wrong
place would ruin them. They are fire.
quently tested, set in q circular iron
frame, called a cell. No instruments
can be used for the test. but the long
experience of the Clarks has given them
a Judgment which is unerring. The
tests will be made in the model of the
telescope outside the building. This
model is of the size of the proposed
Lick telescope and is tifty-seven feet
long. These two lenses are set six
inches apart in their iron frame,
which has openings to allow
of the glasses being properly
cleaned on each side. Lenses and
frame together weigh C. 700 pounds.
While every thing. now appears to be
perfect, some slight defect in the glass
that has not yet appeared, or an acct
dent. may render useless all the labor of
months. When completed the great
telescope will be placed in the observa-

miles of the beholder. twill cost $780,
900, and will be covered by a steel dome
seventy-fNe feet in diameter, weighing
n%inety-five tons. Besidcrs the observa-
tory there are many other buildings, con-
tanning all the valuable instruments
necessary for a complete establishment
to carry out Mr.. Lick's intentions. The

LIFE IN RUSSIA.
= Sliort Sketch of the Life and Customs of
the Russian Peasant.

= Short Sketch of the Life and Customs of
the Russian Peasant.
The life of the Russian peasant is the
most pitiful, the most wretched that the
reader can imagine. At the time when
the people of the western countries of
Europe are advancing toward a more
favorable stage of life the Russian
peasant remains in the primitive state.
Tho causes for such a stagnation are
obvlous-the barbaric oppression of the
government in all imaginable and UNI
imaginable ways and forms on one
hand, and on the other the absence of
KIN, Wedge, the only condition of in
dlvidual and social progress. $50
long as the rays of knowledge are OBJ
structed by the thick and impcnetrable
vail of Ignorance, so long as the apos-
ties of truth are kept in the prison cells
and Siberian mines, so long as our
rising generation is trained in tradi-
tional ways, our population will never
be relieved of their wrctched life,''
wrote one of the most prominent Rus
san critics in 1868. Twenty years have
passed and what advance has the peas
antry made? Absolutely nonc.
have lived among the Russian peas
ants Tor over twelve years, during which
time | had a favorable opportunity of
studying their life in all its phases. The
Russian peasant, although hardened by
ms circumstances, is naturally kind.
No stranger has as yet met with a re-
1usal of hospitality, be it to the extent
or q I.y ,,iaao of h,o,I ~ ~sol4,o
lodging in a little hut, ave must
divide what we possess" says a simple
russian proverb, which, be it said to the
credit of the majority of the population,
is strictly adhered to-.
The life Of the Russian peasant is full
OF misery and Indebtedness. The con-
slant care and hard struggle for his
aally existence, the heavy taxes that he
Is burdcned with and which he is bound
10 pay under any circumstances, all this
Is sufficient to deprive him of all the
enterprise and ambition that are pecu-
liar to the more civilized and con-
seqIently more happy nations. Total
darkness and blind superstition
are the main features of his
character. The belief in the evil
spirit as a mighty power, having
great deal to do in the fate of every
lh%aiT,idual. has taken deep root in his
mind and no reason seems able to ex-
!r'cate it. Any tale of the supernatural
taken rs Il matter OF fact and any
matter of fact is looked upon rather
scept'cally. l can recall facts of shock
ing superstition that will to a certain
.Ntent illustrate the character of the
peasant, One happened in a small vii
,ase IN the vicinity of Kicf. On one
uaiH; riiny autumn night Il poverty
stricken old man threw an infant into
,ne river, or, as he said, handed it over
~ the devil in exchange for a purse OF
sola that he supposed was hidden in q
certain secluded place. and that could
noe be found unless some innocent hui
n lin being were sacrificed. In another
image sick woman was choked to
I Iea,h by her kind neighbors in their
"nspcrate efforts to squeeze the devil

ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Gallant Victims Claimed by the Ins a iate
North Pole.

Gallant Victims Claimed by the 1nsatiate
North Pole.
There is q terrible fascination about
Arctic exploration which not all the
dread tragedies that mark its history,
the hundreds of victims offered up to
the Moloch of the North, the many gal
liant hearts that became forever still in
the regions of eternal ice, can check.
Melville, who might be supposed to
have had enough of polar experience
during that awful winter on the Siberian
coast when the Jeanette was lost, has
been impatient ever since to head
an expedition III search of that
death-inclosed point of latitude
where never observation has been
taken nor the flag of any nation
has waved. The ex-engineer of the
Jeanette has sought IN vain for finan-
cial aid for this pet project of his, but
the most liberal friends of geographical
discovery have been deferred by the fate
of the Jeanette and Greedy expeditions,
and the various Governments which
once encouraged these enterprises now
look upon them with distrust and dread.
Colonel Glider, who was with the Rodg-
ers at Wrangel Island and ira rcrsed
Siberia after the burning Of the vessel,
now proposes to set out with a party of
Esquimaux in the direction of the pole.
A United States naval officer has also
started on a similar expedition.
What a long and glorious record of
adventure, heroism, suffering and death
Arctic exploration furnishes since the
Norsemen and Icelanders first entered
Batfin's Bay over eight centuries ago.
History can boast of no nobler list than
that of the hardy voyagers who braved
the terrors of the sea of ice and pene-
trated the regions of eternal silence.
The Cabots,' who discovered this CONT
nent, Sir Hugh Willoughby and Will
liam Barentz, the first victims of that
deadly cline, Henry Hudson, whose
discovery of the river and bay that bear
his name overshadows his daring ex-
plorations beyond Smith Sound; Ross,
Parry, Franklin. Mcclure, McClintock,
Kane Hayes, Hall, belong, Greedy.

that will rank as high as those

ings to the Arctic adventurer. The
pole draws him toward it as the needle,
ven though the pathway be that of
death. The stories of fearful suffering,
the stout vessels which have been caught
in the deadly embrace of the ice foes,
the numerous graves that dot every
headland looking out on the frozen wa.
tiers and the shattered constitutions OF
those who returned from the polar re-
gions, have no effect upon Arctic explo-
ration. Like the Minotaur, the insatiate
pole CLAIMS its quota of victims regular
1y. Colonel Glider and Engineer Pcary,
however, will not take any crews with
them, but propose to rely entirely uFon
the natives. That is an improvement
upon former expeditions. ALBANY DR..
