LARGE TELESCOPES.

Care and Accuracy Necessary for Their
Construction
The great care and accuracy necessary
in the construction Of one OF our great
sky-Searching telescopes is well demon
strated in the follow from the Wash
ington Post:
The great lens (weighing some two
hundred and fifty pounds) Of the Wash
ington, ID. G. Observatory, was recently
moved to the new station on George
town Heights, and was very delicate
piece Of work. The glass was packed
in a special case wedged into place wllh
folds OF soft paper, placed ut regular
intervals over its surface and allowing
for expansion by heat, as in that case
a tlght-titting box might pinch tho
glass and change the perfect image
which it now gives. This inner case
was packed in the outer heavy box
with plenty of soft packing in between
the two, and then loaded carefully upon
q thick mattress in the bottom Of
spring wagon. 1t was tied In place with
several ropes, and rolls of packing were
wedged between the box and the edges
Of the seat; and then, with three men
sitting around it to prevent any possible
slip, the wagon started off at funeral
pace, which was maintained till the
precious case was fairly landed at tho
new station on the hill"

EAR DRUMS NOTNECE

Hearing Acute but May Cause Death
Washington Star: Don't speak so

mo ear drums?"
No; l lost them several years ago"
Prom Il shock or concussion?''
Not at all; l was troubled with a
catarrhal affection, consequence Of
which was the formation of assesses
that destroyed the drums Of my ears"
But 1 did not know that person
could hear without ear drums
'On the contrary. l can hear consid-
cradle better than other people, because
1 hear with the exposed auditory nerve
instead Of through the medium of the
drum. For instance, it often occurs that
l will hear band of music coming up
the street several minutes before any
body else does"
And you can hear voices better al

''Decidedly. If you We're to stand
whisper articulately, l could hear what
you said without any difficulty. 1t is
not an advantage but rather distressing
ON occasions. When a number of peo-
pie are talking together in my presence
l can not help hearing what every one
Of them say, whereas you would be able
to confine your attention to the remarks
of one individual. When a person
speaks at all loudly it hurts me. AS Il
rule l avoid riding on horse cars, be-
cause the rumble makes the tears run
Town my checks. In one respect think
my misfortune is an advantage, for |
believe hat I enjoy music more than
others do"
$50 the loss of the ear drums actually
renders the sense of hearing more
acute?'
Undoubtedly it does, so long as the
other parts are uninjured, but their de
structiOn EXPOSES the delicate mcchan-
SIN of the ear which it is their chief
purpose to protect. Accordingly my
auditory apparatus is constantly in
danger of trouble, which might at any
time render me totally deaf. Besides,
any internal liberation in the pasSag IS
would be very apt to pierce the delicate
wall of bone which separates them
from the brain. That is how Rosco1
Conkling died, though very few people
know IT."

Apple CrusIs.

Apple crusts are excellent Tor break
fast or for a simple dessert. Cut tho
crust from small slices of bread of med
ium thickness, spread them with butter
and sprinkle them with sugar and lit
tie spice Of some kind. Pare tart ap-
pies, cut them into pieces the size VI
the bread squares and scatter with
sugar and trifie of spice. Bake in the
oven until the apple Is cooked and serve
hot. Other fruits, that are quickly
cooked, or preserves, may be used In
the same way, emitting the spice. II
peaches or fruit jam are used, a hot
sauce, whipped cream or q meringde
added to the crusts after they are taken
from the oven, will change this simple
into quite an elegant dish. The apple
crusts are especially nice for children's
desserts.

too far to reach me. Up to that time
had not believed In splitting snakes, but
as this black fellow struck forward to-
ward me two thin bright streams came
from his mouth. One of them struck
me in the face, wetting my right cheek
close beneath the eye. 1 paused for Il
moment in establishment, uncertain In
my surprise whether any of it had gone
into my eye, but as / felt nothing l
concluded it had not and wiped the
drops from my face with the sleeve of
my coat. Then l captured him.
He was added to my collection of liv-
ing snakes. where he often afterward
repeated the performance behind the
glass of his cage for the amusement of
myself and my friends. The poison WAS
spurtcd from the fanSs. as had many
occasions of observing, by the force of
muscular compression in the act of
striking. and not by the impetus Of In
hailed breath.
| l know from observation that the
/ poison of this snake will destroy the
sight of animals. temporarily at least.
The eye, after being touched by it, APP
pears rs if covered by a white opaque
film After Il time. however. l have
seen this disappear and the normal ap-
p@arance resumed. Further than this
i l have not examined its effects.
! In consequence of the great develop
ment of commerce with Africa and the
greater frequency with which travellers
and scientists visit its strange fastncss-
es, there is every probability that its
deadly snakes as we'll us Its other Won
ders will get that scientific attention
which our present ignorance Of them
demands.

Berlin is enlarging its boundaries, and
when it's suburban towns are all taken
In it's three million inhabitants will make
it the second city in the world. Accord
ing to Mr.. Frank Carpenter, no other
city has increased so rapidly in ropula-
ton; before the Franco-Prussian war
it's population was about 100000, but
on the basis of the one billion dollars
which Germany received from France,
the capital had a great boom. Berlin
is n very well managed city. 1t is stated
by the same authority that it makes a
clear profit of S1.25O,OOO a year. 1t
owns two-thirds of the gas stock, and
controls the fire insurance business. The
streets Of Berlin are mostly paved at
the expense of 100000 yearly.

GETTING ENGAGED IN HOLLAND

Curious Way a Young Dutchman Manages
His Love Affairs.
In many Of the provinces Of Holland
there is a marriage custom in vogue
which is as curious as any to be found
in a years search through South Amer
lea.
When Dutch swain fallsso deeply in
love that he feels it imperative to
breathe the story Of his affections into
the ears of his loved one he starts out
for her home bearing in one hand a
sweet seed cake wrapped in paper. Ar
rived at the family residence, he enters
the living room, and, without address
ing the girl, he places the cake upon a
table near her. If she opens the paper
and begins to eat, it is sign that the
love-suit is acceptable to all. But if the
cake is left upon the table untouched,
then the lover must look somewhere else
for sweetheart Sometimes the girl
leases her lover by dallying with the
cake before eating. In case she refuses
him, the whole affair is kept entirely
secret and no one outside the family is
ever the wiser.

each. Twenty-three are poor and pro-
duce 139 pounds each. In explanation
of the last group, however, it must be
said that some of them are heifers
which are expected eventually to show
themselves entitled to admission to the
higher classes. The best COW in the
herd made GAG pounds of butter worth
$161.5O; the poorest COW made liz
pounds worth S2S.25. The cost IF keep
ing each cow Is estimated at 81.

the Glover CrOp.

The Glover Crop.
1t Is q matter OF regret that the re-
ports Of the departure Mt of agriculture
give no estimate of the crop Of clover
seed. The culture Of clover is beconl-
ing so general in the west that an
unusual number of farmers are inter-
ested this year in the price Of the seed
The quotations on the Toledo and
Chicago markets where it is rated at
from $500 to $3.50 for prime seed for
December and January deliveries indi-
cade that in the judgment Of the deal
ers the crop is a short one. Without
having any definite information and
basing our opinion only on casual and
scattered remarks through our agri-
cultural exchanges we are satisfied that
the main clover seed crop this year
will be inWestern and southern Iowa,
Missouri and eastern Nebraska. III
counties in southern Iowa where far
mers pay attention to the crop. there
is an unusually large acreage and an
unusually yield per acre, but in the ag-
gregate there will be good deal of
seed of good quality. Des Moincs seeds
men are buying largely and are sell
ing to distant buyers faster than it is
bought The demand even here ex-
oeeds the supply.
1t may be that the clover seed will
fall from it's present level as soon rs
eastern buyers supply themselves with
sufficient seed but the probability is that
when owing time comes seed will be
high and scarce. We therefore advise
farmers who wish to sow to secure 1t
early. Fortunately when the farmer
once has his land seeded it requires but
little seed in the future, for clover, If
it has been allowed to mature seed be-
fore being turned under will furnish
almost if not altogether enough to re-
seed it when the sod is turned back
to the air and sunlight again. We have
secured excellent crops which had not
been seeded at all. the seed in the
ground beeirg amply sufficient for a
stand.
