Great TELESCOPES.

/ should like to call attention 10 the
fact that the history OF the great tele-
scopes at Mount Hamilton and at Wash
ington will serve TO lay away finally a
widely published opinion which we used
to hear repeated every few weeks-name-
ly. the great telescopes are Of little use
The work Of these two great telescopes
(not TO speak OF many others) has con-
clusively shown their great superiority
over less powerful instruments in every
field OF astronomy. in the observations
of planets, nebulae. stars. comets, satel-
lites, in spectroscopy, and also IN those
departments of astronomical photography
for which they are adapted.
Smaller instruments have their appro-
pirate fields, and In some OF these they
will always be more convenient than
larger ones But the great telescope.
when properly used. is and will always
be pre-eminent. The proof is easy to give,
and l trust that we shall not hear any
more idle detraction OF the work OF our
great instrument makers, the clarks, or
of their European rivals.-Forum

BEHIND 4 CORAL VAIL.
East Indian Natives Who Live Shut Ous
From the World.

A curious discovery has been made on
the Island of Kitaba, one of the Trobrtand
group off the northeast coast or New
Guinea. A great many sailors passing this
little island have imagined that 1t had
no inhabitants, because they saw no EVIL
dence OF human occupation. Sir William
McGregor. the Administrator OF British
New Guinea. says the island has an area
OF only five or six square miles. On Gil
sides II presents a low and slightly slop-
ing margin, usually about quarter or
mile broad covered by heavy timber.
Within is a precipitous coral wall, when
can be assembled only at few places:
The bank rises TO the height or SVo 10 y"
feet. Once at the top, the visitor hnos
within this wall a plateau, which occupies
the whole of the centre Of the island. and
IS from 80 TO 100 feet below the coral wall

Then unscrupulous and bad men got
among the small farmers, and they
had to sustain them though they knew
they were bad men, for they felt that

feeling that this kind Of work would
naturally produce has been intensity
ing in that State for the last 10 years.

to be the most feasible lines, the new
railway will run ssuthsrly aud westerly

the great cattle ranges Of Eastern and

thence in comparatively straight
course 10 point near Wadsworlh,

SOCIETY THIEVES.
Swell Guests Who Prey Upon
Their Hosts at Banquets.

Everybody has heard Of the EQUATOR
zieme," the professional fourteenth
person" at dinners. There were men
in Paris not SO very many years ago
who made it business TO serve al
short notice as guests at banquets
where the the accident of thirteen at
table occurred, thus satisfying the
superstitious by adding one to the
number. The individual thus called ID
was introduced as a friend invited to
the repast, and there was nothing
about his appearance or demeanor
which could arouse suspicion that he
was not present on the same footing
with the others.
1t seers surprising to find such
custom, in a modified form, newly
introduced into New York society,
says correspondent in the St. Louis
Glo6e-Dcmoc,at. The fashionable
hostess now a days, In giving a dinner
commonly engages detective OF
gentlemanly aspect and address to take
the part of guest at her table. He is
invited, not for any superstitious reason,
but to protect the tableware and other
household property from beng stolen
bv the other diners. Most strange
does it appear that the entertainer
should take such precaulion against
possible dishonesty on the part of the
people whom she knows we'll enough
to regale with intimate hospitality, but
experience has shown that it is very
likely to be pocketed, and the fact has
long been notorious that no small and
costly piece of brio a-brac is safe in
the most exclusive drawing room.
"Kleptomania" is the term charltably
applied to a thieving habit which is not
SO very rare among persons OF good
social standing.
The other day at Newport, said the
chief CT the principle detective agency
in This city, one OF my men was employ
ed TO look out for large reception.
He saw handsomely dressed women
deliberately take and secrete the top of
a beautiful vase. The object could
have been of no use to her, but the
loss of 1t would have spoiled an orna.
ment worth $1,000. He stepped up
to her and said pleasantly: Madam, l
presume that you want to have dupli-
cate of that vase2 Oh, yes, she replied
in some confusion. We'll, he replied,
l guess you had better put 1t back, and
you can get duplicate by sending
your artist here. OF course she gave
it up at once. Nothing more was said
save that her name was reported to the

SYMPATHY MISPLACED.

A few years ago tie writer was on a
train on an Indiana railroad, and in
front Of him sat a woman in deep
mourning When the conductor
came through she told him that she
had no money nor ticket, that her
child was lying at the point of death at
Elkhart, and that she was trying to get
to it. She begged and cntreated the
conductor 10 carry her to that point
where, she said she had friends who
would pay him well for his trouble. "
You must pay your fare or ges-
off the tram, said the conductor, blunt
ly.
You certainly will not be so ;nhuman
as 10 keep me from reaching my dying
child ? SAID the woman, as the tears
came to her eyes.
The conductor reached for the bell
cord as the engine whlstled Tor small
station. The passengers began to
grow indignant, and there was talk OF
a collection to pay the woman's fare
when the conductor, taking the woman
by the arm, said In loud voice: This
woman is spotter. Seven years ago.
