THE CHARLES A. VOGELBR CO., Baltimore, I'd.
Alpena weekly argus., 1888-02-15
Jones and l."

Luke Sharp announced his new
story "Jones and l." now being pub
lished in the Detroit Free Press, as
follows:
1 have beenand gone and done it
You may not believe it, but / have
written novel All by myself too.
/ have long intended to write novel
and have at various times threatened
to do so, but up to a few months ago
friends and well-wishers kept me from
it. People said to me, and l have to
admit that their statements had great
weight, that there was Mr.. Howells,
and Mr.. James, and Rider Haggard,
and William Black, and Hardy, and
Clark Russell, and Frank Stockton
and other estimable gentlemen who
had with much toll raised up repu-
tation for themselves and that it was
pity that man like me, who had
already plenty to live on, should sud,
denly swoop down on them as it were
and knock tho undsrpinning from
them. This argument has kept me
for years from writing a novel. But
Of late / have been thinking what
have those gentlemen done for me
They have given me great deal of
pleasure, it is true, but then l always
had to buy their books so l don't see
that l am under any obligation to
them.
Having come to this conclusion, l
may say that this story will commence
in week or two in the Detroit Free
Press, and no appeals from the afore-
said authors or others will prevent it.
1t is rather embarrassing for mod
est man like myself to announce his
own story in this way, but somebody
has to do it, and as no one else has
read the story but myself, and as this
announcement has to be made this
week, it was thought that perhaps l
could do it in more ablebodied man
ner than some one who hadn't seen it.
On reading the story critically through.
l may say that / was rather pleased
with it. The technique seems to be
good and up to the modern standard.
The treatment of tho love making
scenes | consider mastery, as they are
left out altogether. 1t is healthy
story, for there are no deaths in il
and so the death rate is considerably
below that Of Detroit or any other
city that | know of. The scene is
laid in Belgium principally in the
three cities of Bruges, Client,
and Brussels. 1t is therefore Tale
of Three Cities, and is thus one city
ahead of Mr.. Dickens celebrated
novel. This throwing in of third
city without raising the subscription
price of the Free Press, shows that no
expense has been spared in making
this story all that it should be. /
notice that the author has gone very
carefully over the manuscript and
where any of his characters showed
signs of self.analyses or threatened to
air any occult theories, the writer
has eliminated the sentences with
blue pencil and written something of
his own. This | consider "A great step
in advance. The manuscript is in
neat typewriter hand and reads well,
so l hopeit will seem equally interest
ing in the new type of the Free Press.
"Jones and l" will begin their
journey through Belgium two weeks
from to-day. For later announce.

"Not much. He's crosser'n bear

When the American came back to
the hanson he said
"See that ?" showing the crisp bank
notes, 81 got back my G100."

ers to this day why stranger took

REPAIRING BARNS,
Few Suggestions Which May Prove Va
liable to Many Farmers.

A Few Suggestions Which May Prove VAL
liable to Many Farmers.
A barn improperly repaired is often
better left alone. Too little attention is
generally given to light and ventila-
ton. All know the consequences of
improper ventilation, but the necessity
of light is not so generally understood,
or if known is not appreciated. Grass,
for an apparent illustration, does not
do well in shady places; it has a sickly
look and is unhealthy. A close OBJ
server can notice the same general ap-
pearance in animals, especially in
calves and colts deprived of light.
Plenty of light is necessary for
the most perfect development of
almost all animals. To say that
too little light in barn is the
cause of considerable lameness among
horses is putting it rather mildly. Take
an animal from a dark stall, lead him
to the door upon a bright sunshiny
day when the ground is covered with
snow. Immediately hitch him up.
Take drive of several miles. and dur
ing all this time observe the actions of
the animal closely. If he does not
make some misstep, stumble over or
hit his foot against something, es-
pecially if he is refined up tight, it will
be a miracle. If you would know the
full effects Or the exact feelings, try it
on yourself. Stay in dark room for
several hours. then go out into the
bright sunlight when the ground is
your eyes. A person once having
tried the experiment will thereafter
see that his driving horse, at any rate,
will have sutfi cient amount of light.
The stables can be very easily ar
ranged so that each animal will get at
least part of the light of one window
But better still, the light should be
such as to make the whole stable equal
ly bright. The alterations will, of
course, depend upon the building. An
other essential point is the subject of
drainage, which too often is the cause
of impure air and many diseases of the
feet, as well as of the system generally.
1t must be further remembered that a
healthy colt is naturally full of mis-
chief, and if he gets half chance is
very liable to get tangled up in the
managers or divisions between stalls ii
these are not properly adjusted. Even
the old reliable animals, when not at

The work that is being done at the
Lick Observatory is of a character to

great gift of James Lick as in man.

cess which has even thus early mark
ed the labors of the scientists of Mount
Hamilton demonstrates the wisdom Of
the founder of the great observatory
and his knowledge of the needs of this
branch of science. He wished Cali
fornia to possess the most powerful
telescope in the world. and that she
now has it has been abundantly
demonstrated. Several important
discoveries have been made al
ready. and new and still more
important ones are likely soon
to be made. The study of the
orbit and mass of the binary star
eighty-five Pegasi has had interesting
results This very difficult star was
discovered by Mr.. Burnham, of the
observatory, and all the observations
of it have been made by him, as the
star was too difficult to be measured
by less expert observers. A recent OBJ
servation with the great telescope af-
forded sufficient data for a computation
of the orbit of this interesting binary
star. This orbit has been computed by
Prof. Schaeberle, who finds that the
period of revolution of one of the
component suns about the other is
twenty-five years less (than the period
of Saturn's revolution about the SUM.
Combining Prof. Strawberries ele-
ments with the parallax of this star
(0.54 sec.), it is found that the total
mass of both component stars of this
binary system is about eleven times
the mass of the sun.-San Francisco
