Where Every Boy is an 0rnithologjst.

The Island of Heligoand, in the North
Sea, is nothing but triangular rock, of
perhaps hundred acres; but there is
probably no spot of equal size ON the
carth's surface that is of more interest TO
students of birds. The fact is that this
little island is the only place in the world
of which the ornithology has been prop
cRy worked. Every little boy on the
island is born and bred ornithologist.
Every unfortunate bird which visits the
island has to run the gauntlet of about
forty guns, to say nothing of scores of
blowpipes and catapults.-Ncw York.

Quite the uglicst face ever saw fob

whom the world called beautiful. Through

KISSING THE ROD.
Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't

Oh, heart of mine, we shouldn't
Worry so.
What we've missed OF calm we couldn't
Have, you know,
What we've met of stormy pain,
And of sorrows driving rain,
We can better meet again
If il blow.
We have erred in that dark hour
We have known
When our tears fell with the shower,
All alone
We're not shine and shadow blcn
As the gracious Master meant:
Let us temper our content
With His own.
For, We know, not every morrow
Can be sad;
So. forgetting all tho sorrow
We have had,
Lotus fold away our fears
And put by our foolish tears
And through all the coming years
Just be glad

sailed back to Dahomey, and with hi;
"moncy" bought immense privileges
which were the foundation Of the French
trade.

Eye-Piece for the Lick Telescope.

The Gundlach optic works of this
city have just completed an eyc-piece
for the great Lick telescope. The eye
piece is constructed on perfected
theory and is a great deal larger than
any before made. Eye-pieces of the
same pattern arc in use in many of the
obseryatories in the country, and every
where excellent results are obtained.
The Gundlach glass uses all the light
gathered by the large field lens and at
the same time covers the area of the
larger glass of the telescope. There
are two lenses in this eye-piece. They
are six inches apart. The larger one is
called the field lens. and is IL inches
in diameter. The other lens is the eye
glass proper. 1t is 5 inches in dame
ter. and is composed of three lenses, a
double concave, double convex. and
meniscus. cemented together. The
field lens is Of crown glass. The con-
cave and convex lenses are also OF
crown glass. The meniscus, or cor
recting lens. is of flint glass. No other
eye-piece of anything like equal dimen-
sions has ever been made. The largest
now in use is not over 2 inches in di-
ameter. and that is far above the aver
age size. The light from heavenly
bodies seen through the Lick telescope
and this eye-piece will be 10000 times
as bright as that seen with the naked
eye.-R0cheSter Democrat.

The Produce Market

BUTTER-There has been very steady
market on all choice grades during the
week The receipts have been very little
and a good paat of the arrivals have been
of choice butter, but for such there
has been a good request and this has not
only kept the supply from accommodating
but also kept the market closely cleaned
up. Aside from these there has been
very little doing and grades below the
best have met with a very slow sale and
as a result prices have ruled easy and in
the buyers favor. Choice Western cream
cries have been bringing zoe, while choice
Northerns have sold well at 20 PIC.
Dairy lots continue to come forward IN
large quantities, but they sell at wide
range of prices according to quality.
Some very choice have brought as high
as Is l9c but most lots will not bring
over lie. The demand for imitation
creameries and ladle packed goods las
been dull and prices are fairly easy. Old
stock is heavy.
