The interesting information comes
from 'Cam bridge, Mass, that a new
series of experiments in the difficult
art of photographing the heavens is
being made at that place. The in
strument used is the so-called Bush
Photographic telescope, manufactured
especially for the Harvard Obserya-
tory, and the north star was selected
as the first object upon which to test
its powers. The apparatus used for
stellar photography is exceedingly
delicate and complicated. There are
four photographing lenses, two feet
in diameter. In front of these is the
spectrum for photographing stars.
Its thickest edge is three inches and
the thinnest seven-eighths of an
inch. The lenses are of the finest
optical glass. Their average weight
is 100 pounds. The bed plate of the
telescope is 10 feet Al inches and its
breadth is feet. This swings on a
steel axle 10 feet long and weigh
ing 1900 pounds. The wheel to
which the clockwork is attached, reg
ulating the movement Of the instru-
ment to the motion of the earth, is
5 feet in diameter. Not only astron-
omers but multitudes of other folks
who are interested in knowing all
that is to be known concerning the
material universe will await the rev.

IT seems incredible that IN a rich
and vigorous young city any condi-
ton would be permitted which is
certain to destroy at least 800 human
lives in a year. That summing up
of fatalities which might be avoided
confesses a mOnstrous greed, an I'M
speakable Indifference on the part of
the public. Railroad trains running
into Chicago kill that many people
regularly, and horribly mangle three
times as many more. Why? Because
to avoid the slaughter would involve
the expenditure of money. It is not
in war Of defense, it is not by the
volcanoes eruption, it is not by the
swift and fatal flash of lightning.
They simply kill and bury 800 per-
sons each year rather than elevate
the railroad tracks. They simply
condemn a thousand to misery rather
than spend the money necessary to
insure the city safety. They know
this number have been killed regularly
for years. They know in all reason
the number will be increased in fu-
ture. Will Chicago continue to MUIR
der her own children rather than
compel obedience from her servants?

The Board on Magazine Arms of
the United States army, after a
thorough examination and test of all
existing types of rifles, has recon-
mended the Krag-Jorgensen gun as
the best small arm for use by our
troops. Fifty-three guns in all were
tested by the board, and there can be
no doubt that the result of their ex-
animation, reached, as it was, by a
unanimous vote, will give to the
American army the best rife now to
be had in the world. The Krag-
Jorgensen rifle is OF course maya
zine gun. 1t carries five cartridges,
is capable of very rapid fire, does not
get overheated readily, and has a
cutoff which renders it available for
use as single loader. This last is a
most important point. The official
weapon of the United States army
for twenty years past has been the
old Springfield rifle, wonder in it's
day, but now entirely out of date.
1t was high time our troops were
armed with something better. 1t
seems pity that the best gun is not
now, as it has been SO often in the past,
the product of American ingenuity
and skill, but our Magazine Arms
Board was right in adopting the best
weapon obtainable regardless of its
nativity. The new gun is of small
caliber, like most of the recent
weapons. These rifles have proved
more deadly in war than those of
larger caliber, notably in the Gillian
civil war last year. The Krag-
Jorgensen is about four and a half
feet long and five feet four inches
with bayonet. 1t weighs, with the
bayonet, nearly ten pounds. Gen.
Grant, Acting Secretary of War, has
approved of the findings of the board,
and the work of obtaining the guns
will go ON as rapidly as possible.
Our army is small, and it does not
often have to engage in hostilities,
but we all want it to be ready, if
actual War should come, to do the
most effective possible service: and
to this end it is necessary that it
should have the best rife to be had
in the world.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

Amusements and Terrors OF ieel
Water Diver.
Edward II. Littlefeld native OF
Block Island and resident OF Provl-
dence, now so years of age, modestly
claims to be the most experienced
submarine diver in the world. And
truly he has had some wonderful eX-
periences in his forty-four years in
the business. Mr.. Littlefeld has
taken 100 bodies out of sunken ships,
and has walked all through and
around some fifty vessels lying from
fifteen to 1853 feet deep.
The deeper one goes in the water
the greater is the pressure, and under
the ordinary system the air cannot be
forced down to the diver if he is 200
feet deep, and will not hold his suit
out from his body much below 100
feet. In that case the diver must 60
down by slow degrees, to avoid the
numbness caused by the Tightening of
the suit. In 1860 Mr. Littlefield
went down 1853 feet to recover the
bodies of a lady and her daughter,
who were drowned on the ship of the
husband and father. OF this he says:
"Now, it's queer, but there's some
thing about bodies under water. Did
you know that if you went into the
cabin of vessel where one was that
it would start toward you, almost as
if it were alive? 1t is that which
makes the shock so terrible. You
can't avoid them. They come as if
they want to be taken away. Well,
the captains wife aud daughter
were in the state-room at the foot of
the stairs, and | had to open the
door. | took some blocks and braced
my whole weight against the door.
[ weighed 200 pounds, and the suit
weighed 265 more. I knew there'd
be terrible shock, SO | got all ready.
The door gave way at last, and broke
into kindling wood like a fash.
The conclusion of the water flung
the bodies toward me like lightning.
[ shut my eyes, and, reaching out t.
grab the bodies, caught the woman's
as she flew toward me.
Il sgnaled and was taken up.
Then / went down to hunt for the
little girl. [ found she had come out
when her mother did, and loated
under the cabin table. Why, that
table was set just as when the
vessel sunk. and there was food on
the plates at that very time. / was
pulled up with the little girl"

however, was the object in which the
Spaniards were chiefly interested and
they made many inquiries of the ma
tives as to where gold was produced.
Invariably the latter pointed south,
and as Columbus fancied he lay off
the mainland of Asia he concluded
that the place they referred to was
the Island of Cipango, believed to be
Japan; that ne was near famous

ical Prester John. Thus two days
later Columbus began cruising amid
the archipelago of islands, now known
as the Bahamas, in quest of Cipango,
and Oct. Is came upon an island
which he called Santa Maria de la
Conception. Here the natives were
as simple and naked as on San Saliva
dor and regarded the Spaniards
as people descended from the sky. In
succession he touched at the islands
of Exuma and Exumeta, where he
was received with transports of Joy
by the natives and then set out for
Cuba which he promptly identified in
his mind as Cipango. Oct. % he ar
rived in sight of the enchanting ISL
and and anchored in river to which
he gave the name of San Salvador.
In writing of the island Columbus
said: ut is the most beautiful ISL
and that eyes ever beheld, full of ex-
cellent ports and profound rivers. :"
After exploring part of the coast and
holding converse with the natives he
became more fully convinced that he
was on the borders of Cathay and he
dispatched ambassadors to seek the
Grand Khan. During the absence of
his enyovs he met with the humble
potato and subsequently with the to-
bacco plant. When the messengers re-

the following day the Pinta, under
Martin Alonzo PinZon, deserted him.
This had a most depressing effect
upon the great navigator, yet he
pushed on until Dec. he reached
the eastern end of Cuba. The fol-
lowing day he advanced in sight of
beautiful Hayti, which he called
Hispaniola. Of the natives Column
bus wrote: "If anything was asked Of
them they never said no, but rather
gave it cheerfully, and showed as
much amity as if they gave their very
hearts," Another writer says: at
is certain that the land among these
people is as common as the sun and
water, and that mine and thine
the seeds of all mischief, have no
place with them. They are content
with SO little that, in large coun-
try, they have rather superiority
than scarceness, SO that they seem
to live in the golden world, without
toll, living in open gardens; not in
trenched with dykes, divided with
hedges, or defended with walls.
They deal truly with one another,
without laws, without books, and
without Judges" December % the
grand cacique, Guancanagari, visited
Columbus, bringing him presents,
and asking him to proceed a little
further eastward, and anchor OPP
posite his residence. Two days later
Columbus set out for the residence
of the Indian chief, but, during the
night voyage, one Of his vessels, the
Santa Maria, was forced upon
a sand bank. Guancanagari wept
when the news was brought
him, and Immediately ordered
all his people who had
canoes to unload the vessel. In
little time the cargo Of the vessel
was landed, and although it was Of
priceless value to the supplemented
natives not one cents worth was
stolen. No wonder Columbus wrote
to Ferdinand and Isabella: $50 low

swept chimneys, and quite large
percentage of those returned as cause
unknown" should also be included in
the list. AS long as fires are kept
burning day or two the danger does
not seem SO great, though it is there
just the same; but the first big fire
after several months is liable to end
disastrously when the chimney is full
of SCOT. All sorts of rubbish may
have accumulated as we'll, and the
safe way is to have the chimney
swept out before commencing the fall
fires. In some foreign countries a
fine is regularly imposed for allowing
a chimney to catch fire, even when it
burns nothing but the SCOT, and hence
does little harm. Severe enactments
of that kind are apt to defeat them
selves if enforced too rigidly, but they
help prevent mysterious fires" quite
frequently.

that he has not had time to do GER

Liverpool Is Doomed.

Liverpool men of business are
greatly alarmed by the prospective
transfer of the Inman landing place
to Southampton by rumors that the
Cunard and White Star Lines will also
withdraw from Liverpool and by the
threatened competition of New Mil
ford and Bristol as British ports of
arrival and departure for the trans
atlantic steampship trade.
They complain that the benefits OF
the transatlantic trade have been
hardly realized before the city is
threatened with the loss of them.
The conviction spreads that the Mer-
sey Docks Board have done much by
their parsimony to injure LiverpooPs
prospects in trade. Recently the
board proposed that the steamship
companies assist them in building in
the North Town a deep water land
ing stage for the exclusive use of the
passengers to and from New York.
Most of the companies replied that
they could not see why they were
called upon to contribute to the ex-
ecution of the plan, and the matter
was dropped. Public opinion, aroused
by the prospect of a heavy loss of
trade, has now compelled the board
to revive the plan in such form that
the city, if necessary, will pay the
whole expense. The execution of
this plan will include the building
of a short railway from the Canada
dock station across the dock to a new
stage railway connected with the
Northwestern main line. It will be
hardly possible to begin within a
year, as grant of powers from Par
lament will be required.
The days of Liverpool as the great
transatlantic port of England are
numbered. It owes it's present pre-
eminence not to the superior facili-
ties of its port, but the enterprise of
its citizens. The mouth of the Mersey
IS not harbor in the proper sense of
the word, and it is only by constant
dredglng that the bar is made passa-
BILE by heavy draught steamers.
southampton, from it's nearness to
London, is much more convenient
for transatlantic travellers who wish
TO avoid the trip through the Irish
Sea. New Milford, where &C i've
preparations are on foot for the start
ing OF Lord Dunrayen's projected
line, has similar advantages. and
with some improvements its finely
sheitered harbor can be made one of
the finest in England. 1t is only as
the great commercial emporium of
Nortnern England that Liverpool
can continue to hold it's own.

sovereigns. The supplemented and
naked natives fled at the approach of
the Spaniards, but soon returned,
making signs of alteration, for they
believed that their visitors had de-
scended from the skies. The Span
iards experienced mutual surprise,
for the Indians differed from any race
of men before known to European
civilization. Soon the most friendly
relations were established and the In

THE separation of the young min
eralogist, Nerhoeff, from Peary's
north pole party, and his supposed
death, has given rise to much gossip
and surmise, and is likely to develop
into a scandal such as manages to at
tach itself to all recent arctic expedi-
lions. The next thing will be the or
ganization of party to hunt Ver-
hoeff. While on the way it will sue
coed in losing or killing one of it's
members. Then another scandal will
arise, and SO on indefinitely. For all
the good they do, the public could
we'll afford to dispense with such
expeditions. Certainly, it would
gladly be rid Of the apparently in
evitable petty gossip that follows
each one.
