him to 'fstep this way" The room which
he now entered had q cheerful appearance.
1t was well lighted, and a bright fire was
burning in the hearth. Upon the rug,
with his back to the fire, stood somewhat
careworn-looking man of about 40 or 90.
He stepped forward, however, with pleas
ant smile on his face, and held out his hand
to the visitor,
seWen, John" said he cordially, $50 you
made up your mind at last to come to Eng
land. You have done well and 1 am de-
lighted to see you. But what has happened?
1 have been puzzling my brain ever since
your letter came to hand. John West
cott,' as could not help saying to Marian,
has got some surprise in store for US
And Marian was somewhat Ofmy opinion"
If sign of embarrassment crossed West
cott's g face as he drew chair toward the
hearth, it escaped Mr.. Carter, for that gen.
tleman had bent down to stir the fire into
brighter blaze, as though to give more
cheerful appearance to his welcome, and at
the same time to hide the slight tone of re-
proach in which he spoke The merchant
was evidently one of those men who, when
having an unpleasant duty to perform, are
glad to get it over as agreeably as possible.
The young visitor, after q quick glance
about the room, as. if reviving his memory
as he had done in the square and Mr.. Cir
dlestone's office, quietly remarked: $50 it
seems strange to you, Mr.. Carter, that
should care to revisit my uncle's old
home?"
"Indeed, it does" replied Mr.. Carter
frankly. "I had concluded long ago that
no possible motive could induce you to re-
turn. Has there not been more than one
strong reason during the last Is years why
you should come back? But you have all
the while remained abroad" Receiving no
reply Mr.. Carter went on. "Was there not
the prospect. of partnership" said he.
"Did not Mr.. Girdlestone, as we wrote and
told you, seem to set his heart upon having
relation in the house?-That did not bring
you home"
"I had chosen a profession" replied
WestcOtt. "Even the certainty of Inherit

could not tempt me to retire from the navy.

"Wel1," said Mr.. Carter, half apologetic-
ally, "perhaps 1 ought not, you will say,
express any opinion on the subject. Your
refusal to come into the business
led to my propotion. Mr.. Girdlestone,
desparing of getting you to join the firm,
made me junior partner. But
was there not another reason, a far weightier
one, for visit to England year ago? And
still, John, you stopped away" Mr.. Carter
looked, as well as spoke, reproachfully
now.

his voice, ''at the time ofmy uncle's death "

had left his property-except your share in

Irregularities In Density.
Many difficulties surround the construc-
tion of an object glass. 1t must be perfect
in the fullest sense of that word. Unless it
stands two severe tests all the optician' s
work upon it would be lost. The first of
these is to examine the glass by an Iceland
spa. prism and tourmaline. If
there is any unequal density in a
glasl this instrument will, at once de-
tect it, and if improperly annealed it will
show it by a remarkable series of irregular
figures, both black and white, which con-
denim the glass at once.
The next test is to examine the glass for
impurities. To accomplish this screen is
placed over lamp, and hole cut in the
screen. The light from this hole is passed
first through a condensing lense and then
through the glass intended for the objective
1t will instantly bring out any imperfee-
tions existing in the glass, and if possible
these imperfections are ground out.
Another serious drawback to all optical
work is changes in the temperature. Tests
to ascertain imperfections in the glasses
cannot be conducted in an ordinary apart
ment, or out of doors, for the reason that
the weather is so variable.
An Underground Apartment
must be used entirely, As built under Mr..
Brashear's shop, this cave, or cellar, is sur
rounded by an air space of 18 inches, and
the temperature there has been known to
change but three degrees in whole month
1t is also absolutely necessary that no
tremor interfere with the experiments, or at
least that it be reduced to the minimum;
therefore every part of the testing apparatus
is isolated from the building, and SO perfect
are the conditions that the makers know

stead a pleasant-voiced woman.
''Oh, my husband is not home from the
mill yet, she said in reply to my inquiry.
"Will you step in and wait for him?''
The mill! Ny ideas of Calico were
somewhat modified and was more at ease.
And, presently, when the astronomer"
came in, clad in the ordinary garb of me-
chanic, and carrying a dinner bucket, I
began to think 1 had made some mistake.
No. 1 had not, and in a very few moments
had lost the odor of lubricating oil in the
interest of what the man was telling me.
Never Courted Publicity.
John A. Brashear was of remarkably re-
firing nature. He told me then enthusias-
tically all about his observations the night
before from the roof of his house, but
blushed painfully when 1 turned the con-
versation upon himself. When we were
through, he fairly begged me to not print
his name with the matter.
Three days ago l once more sat with John
A. Brashear. I found him still the modest,
reserved man that he used to be when he
was unknown to fame. In the1S years that
have passed all Pittsburg knows his career.
