The fishery dispute in Behring sea seems
likely to be settled by the seals themselves
without the arbitrators. This season the
seals have almost entirely abandoned
their usual haunts round the famous
Pribylov islands, and unless this eeser-
ton is temporary the sealing industry in
Behring sea may be considered practi-
cally dead. Sealing experts declare that
the seals have followed the japanese
warm current, which this year from
some unknown cause has been DETECTED
toward the south, off the Aleutian
archipelago. The fish on which the seals
feed live mostly in this warm current.

office, library, reading roo. .sJunce-
ment room and a lecture room.
One special feature Of construction is
in making the reception hall the local
point of the building. On the third floor
will be rooms for the ladies' auxiliary,
board of managers, boys work, large
dining hall and a kitchen. The building
will be heated by steam, lighted by cleo
tricity, and the light and ventilation are
exceptionally good. There is a complete
system of electric bells and speaking
tubes. The cost is $4,000 exclusive of
furnishing and gymnasium appliances.
The beautiful building at Detroit was
completed considerably earlier than that
at Germantown. 1t is five stories high.
The total cost of building and lot was
almost $3.50, 900, and at the dedication
the entire sum had been raised and the
building was entirely free of debt. Be-
sides the usual reading, reception and
social rooms, gymnasium, baths, swim
ming pools, classrooms and lecture hall
Seating 800 people,, the building con-
tains three stores, which yield an annual
income of g., 900. The hall is frequently
in demand for entertainments of high
order, and this, too, yields a source of
revenue to the association.
The results of the new building were
very apparent in the first years work
by the addition of over 1900 members.
The membership has grown steadily,
and now crowds the great building to
the number of almost 2. 600.
The Y. M. G. A. of Charleston
has building which cost SAC, 900, and
which has been erected on plan diff
ferent from most association buildings
in the country, in this, that the money
was secured in small subscriptions, prin-
cipally from the young men.

Outline plans of the observatory and
telescope have already been agreed upon.
The site hasn't been chosen.
"This is still an open question" said
Professor Hale. "a great telescope
cannot be moved around like a piece
of furniture, and it must be located
where the best conditions for its use
will obtain for years to come. OF course
it will be in Chicago and not too far
from the university. We shall have to
avoid a site too near buildings or that is
liable to be invaded by builders. Smoke
is one of the things we must get away
from. 1t is an enemy to the astronomer,
even if only a light film. The atmos-
phere of Chicago is by no means bad for
observations. 1t is as good as that of
Germany, England and parts of France"
The object glass Of the big telescope
will be between forty and forty-five
inches. If the latter size is selected the
glass will exceed the diameter of the
Lick telescope by nine inches. The tube
Of the telescope will be between sixty
and seventy feet long. 1t will be swung
on huge columns, but its movements
will be controlled by simply pressing a
button in a keyboard, which sets in
operation an electric motor.
The observatory will contain several
telescopes besides the large one. There
will be two Of twelve inches and others
smaller, as well as every variety of in
strument known and needed in the ex-
ploration of the armament.
The glasses will cost between $55, 200
and $4,000. The mounting will reach
probably 100000. The dome will cost
$4,000, and to this sum must be added
the cost Of the observatory equipment.
The observatory will be in operation
In year, though the great telescope
will not be. 1t will probably be mounted
by the same concern which set up the
Lick glass. 1t will require three years
and perhaps longer to grind the lens
from the rough.

THE GREATEST TELESCOPE.
The Gift of Mr.. Yerkes to the Uniyersit,
of Chicago,

The Gift of Mr.. YerlSes to the University
of Chicago.
Mr.. Charles T. Yerkes is one of the
best known of Chicago's many famous
citizens. He went to the Illinois me-
tropolis several years ago from Philadel-
phia and bought the North Side street
railway. He substituted cable system
for horse cars, and the bitches in getting
the new plant to work properly aroused
the wrath of patrons and the animosity
Of the papers,
But Mr.. Yerkes kept on "sawing
wood keeping his temper, improving
details and raking in the nickels. Next
he appeared before the public as the pur-
chaser of the West Side car lines, and his
latest act to call out adverse comment
from the critics was his arrangement for
erecting handsome tombstone in adj
vance of death in Brooklyn's famous
Greenwood cemetery.
Just now, however, Mr.. Yerkes is a
very popular man. Some time ago the
president of the University of Chicago,
which has been more richly endowed at
the start than any other educational in
stitute in the world, decided that an OBJ
servatory would be good thing to have.
A great many rich men had contributed
toward giving the univer.i,y big send
off, and of course could hardly be called
ON for additional bounty.
But President Harper CHANGED to rec
ollect that some one had told him that
Mr.. Yerkes had remarked that he was
much interested in the new educational
enterprise, and would be glad to help it
along if his aid was needed. Therefore,
when the street railway magnate got
back from European trip recently, Mr..
| Harper visited him and told him what
was wanted. 1t was desirable that the
scope of the astronomical department
should be as wide as that of the univer-
sity's other branches. A great telescope
was necessary to insure this result, as
well as an observatory fitted up with
every instrument for which there is use
in studying the armament. 1t could not
be said what the cost would be.
"Then go ahead and find out" said
Mr.. Yerkes. Build the finest and
largest telescope in the world and get
every adjunct needed to make the OBJ
servatory the most complete anywhere.
I'll pay the bill"
With the Kent chemical laboratory,
the Field biological laboratory, the
Ryerson physical laboratory and the
Walker museum, the Yerkes observatory
will make the scientific equipment of
the university the finest in the coun-
try. The fame of the great telescope
will round the world. II will add to the
reputation of the university and the city,
not to speak of Mr.. Yerkes.

THE GERMANTOWN BUILDING.

These are the Young Mems Christian
association and the Young Womens
Christian association. In the United
States the former dates back only to
1851 and the latter to 1866, yet the two
now have membership of 100000, To-
Gated in 1000 towns and cities, own
property worth over $4,000, 900, and
have done an amount of good almost in
calculable on any mathematical basis.
Although, as just noted, the first Y.
M. G. A. society was formed in 1851, the
first building owned by the association
was not erected until 1867, and with that
initial experiment in property holding
came disaster. The block was situated
on one of Chicago's principal streets, and
was known as Farwell hall, because the
eminent merchant and philanthropist,
John V. Farwell, had contributed $50, 900
toward the expenses. The hall was dedi-
Gated Sept. 30, 1857, and was destroyed
by fire Jan. z, 1868. 1t was promptly re-
built, and lasted until Oct. 0, 1871, when
the great eonfagration made nearly the
whole city desert of smoke and ashes.
Nov. 20, 1874, the third and still intact
structure was consecrated to the pur-
poses of the organization.
And what are those purposesl Well,
they include almost every plan for phys
ical, mental and moral culture. One
doesn't have to be a church member in
order to belong to the Y. M. G. A. He
pays fee large enough to preserve his
self respect and still so small that it is
but little strain upon his purse. Then
he has the freedom Of the gymnasium,
of the library, of the bathrooms and re-
duced rates for admission to the lecture
hall entertainments. He may join In
the regular religious meetings if he
chooses; if not, he may stay away with
out causing comment. The plan seems
TO be to provide places where young men
and old ones, too, for that matter
may spend otherwise lonesome hours
in healthful, wholesome way. They
can exercise, they can read, or they can
get spiritual or medical advice if they
want it.
In the brief years since the Y. M. c.
A. and the Y. w. c. A. had their being
they have done so much and done it SO

tire equipment will be provided from
the funds at the disposal Of the associa-
ton, whose endowment fund is now
$4,000.
The organization now has total
membership of 1851, including So life
members, 459 active members and 1,50e
associate members. The latter are the
girls and young women enjoying the
benefits of the institution at nominal
cost.
The association conducts classes in
bookkeeping, stenography, sewing,
dressmaking, millinery, nursing and
other occupations. A bureau Of en-
ployment, boarding house directory, a
woman's work exchange and Bible
classes are maintained.

The Negro Problem.
To THE EDITOR- .FgC 4,

~ he GD1IOh-
Dear Strive are told that "the
secrets of the Lord are with those that
fear him." After Abrabam's faith had
been severely tests and Gcd found that
he could be trusted. He took Abraham
into his confidence and told him Of his
plans in reference to the Judgement Of
Sodom, and so Abraham knew what was
coming and conducted himself according
ly. Abraham interceded himself in be-
half of his friend Lot and Lot was marri-
ed and saved. God is still taking men
of faith into his confidence and permits
them to see into his plans and purposes
by his Holy Spirit which he has given
them. In the Summer of 1888 was in
the Spirit for several days and during
that time some of the most wonderful
things were revealed to me. I told of
some of them but was thought to be in
sane. A plan of solving the Race Prob
lem was presented to my mind Now I
just want to say to the Colored people.
that God is carrying out that llan. The
Mighty God Of Jacob has made bare HE
arms and the problem is bsing solved.
Only let the Colored people obey his in
structions and victory will be theirs.
Watch and pray, and whatsoever Jesus
saith unto you, do it, and the day will
soon dawn when we shall be recognized
