ONLY A PIECE OF GLASS.
Moving tho Great Telescope Lens at
Washington.

Moving tho Great Telescope Lens at
/ Washington.
There was n very plain but very SUBJ
stantial locking pine box tied up with
numerous coils of rope and nailed tight
at all points lying yesterday morning
on the floor of IA dingy and deserted
room at the old naval observatory, says
the Washington Post.
The observation slit in the revolving
dome had been closed and the great
tube of the big 2G-inch equatorial tclc-
scope was swung around and hung de-
jcctedly alongside of its PEDESTAL
The old sllyscraping workshop of the
government had been closed up for
good, and in the pine box on the floor
was all that was valuable of the old
telescope, the great 26-inch lens, some
two hundred and fifty pounds of quite
ordinary-looking glass valued at $50, 900.
1t was the last of the apparatus of the
old observatory that was to be carried
up to the new station on the heights
above Georgetown, and there to be
fitted to new tube that is being manu-
featured by Wagner & Swasey, of Cleve-
land.
The task of removing the great lens
to the new observatory was one of the
most delicate pieces of work IN connec-
ton with the transfer of the station.
The glass was packed in special case
wedged into place with folds of soft
paper placed with regular intervals
over it's surface and allowing for cx-
:pansion by heat, as in that case
tight-titting box might 'pinch" the
glass, and change the perfect image
which it now gives.
This inner case was packed in the
onter heavy box with plenty of soft
packing in between the two and then
loaded carefully upon thick mattress
IN the bottom Of a 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 a
funeral pace, which was maintained
till the precious case was fairly landed
at the new station on the hill.
