A Colossal Telescope.

The great telescope, proposed by NJ
Deloncle, to be built Tor the Paris Fix.
hibition in 1900 is TO be of colossal
proportions. 1t is to be built on tho
rejecting principe, with tube OF not
less than 1872 feet i'll length, being
moro than twice that OF any existing
telescope. At the bottom OF the tube
will be concave mirror feet 10
inches in diameter, which will retlecS
the light it receives from the heavens
back to focal point. The mirror is
expected to weigh 8 tons; this will be
nine times heavier than any yet con-
structed 1t is calculated, il the mir
ror is satisfactory, that it viii project
four times more light than any exist
ing telescope, and that it will enable
US TO discover new wonders in the

New York next spring, following the
rendezvous at Hampton Roads, Va,
will not take place unless congress
makes an additional provision for II
proper celebration. This is what Sec
rotary Tracy told committee of
citizens from Tidewater, Va, who
came to Washington to urge an appro'
priation of $500, 900 Tor carrying out the
objects of rendezvous and review. lie

if it is attempted on the small sum of
money already appropriated for the
purpose. SO far only six nations have

made the secretary thinks 1t would be
better to withdraw all such invitations
and declare the review off.

The Light OF Planets.

The question rs to whether the
light OF planets is capable OF casting
shadows must have, especially during
the last few months, been in the
minds OF many, says Nature, and per-
haps many observations have already
been made, lbut unfortunately not
published With regard to this ques.
ton, EAstronomie for November CON
tnins two notes, the first OF which,
communicated by NJ. Marcel Moye on
August 80, relates to the p anet Mars.
His observations were made just be-
'ore the meridian passage and in n
room where the light OF the planet
could enter the open window. In
this way white paper, invisible In the
corners OF the Groom, was easily dlstln-
guish when placed on the wall opposite
the window, while one could SEQ well
the shadows between the fingers OF the
hand; placing n newspaper IN the
light OF Mars, only tho place OF the
table and the number OF the words
could be recognized, but not read, as
was the case with Jupiter. Nj. Moye
concludes then that Mars certainly
casts shadows, less strong than those
of Jupiter, but still appreciable;
In tho note on the light OF Venus,
NJ. Leon Guiot tells us that on August
20, when about to get up to observe
Jupiter, he was astonlshed at the
brilliancy of the light that entered his
window. Observing his watch, which
wns hanging on the wall, he was actu-
ally able to trace Its shadow on the
wall, for he says that all was visible
as in the light OF the moon; one couli
oven read the newspaper. 1t was
about this time that Venus was con
stantly seen with the naked eye in full

How Shot 10 Made.

Shot is made OF q mixture OF lead
and some form of arsenic The
effect OF this arsenic is to render tho
lead less brittle and OF q better con-
sistency for taking the round form.
The lead is melted in q large vessel,
and the arsenic compound is intro
duced into the middle OF the molten
mass and stirred in. Tho vessel is
then covered and left for some hours,
during which time the arsenic becomes
thoroughly combined with the lead,
and the mixture is then tested by
dropping little OF it through acolan-
der into water. II the drops assume
long form, or are flattened on one
side or in the middle or are otherwise
imperfect it is understood that tho
proportion OF arsenic was not correct.
