A Delicate Undertaking That Required
Many Cushions.

Delicate Embarrassing Auuk AeNuAAea
Many Cushions.
There was a very plain but very substan-
tial looking pine box, tied up with numer-
GUS coils Of rope and nailed hight at all
points, lying on the floor Of dingy and de-
serted room at the old naval observatory.
The observe ion slit in the revolving dome
had been closed, and the great tube Of the
big 26-inch equatorial telescope was swung
around and hung dejeetedly alongside Of
its pedestal The old skyscraping work
shop 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 tel
escope, the great 20-inch lens, some 250
pounds Of quite ordinary looking glass,
valued at $4,000. It was the last of the ap-
paratus 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 q new tube that is being manufac
tuced in Cleveland
The task of removing the great lens to
the new observatory was one of the most
delicate pieces Of work in connection with
the transfer Of the station. The glass was
packed in special case wedged into place
with folds Of soft paper placed at regular
intervals over its surface and allowing for
fitting box might pinch the glass and
change the perfect image which it now
gives. This inner case was packed in the
outer heavy box with plenty of soft pack
ing In between the two and then loaded
carefully upon a thick mattress in the bot
tom of a spring wagon.
1t was tied in plac9 with several ropes,
and rolls of packing were wedged between
tho box and the edges Of the seat, and then,
with three men sitting around it to prevent
any possible slip, the wagon started of at
a funeral pace, which was maintained till
the precious case was fairly landed at the
new station on the hill.
The new mountings for the glass were
held back by the Homestead strike, and
will probably not be received for three
months more There will be some changes
in the mounting Of the instrument, and the
terrestrial clock will be run by weights in
stead of water power, as has been the case
heretofore. This is one Of the most impor-
tant parts Of the telescope mechanism, as
by it the great glass is swung round at a
speed that just corresponds to the motion of
the earth, keeping any particular point Of
the heavens constantly in the field, which
is necessary in making measurements and
for other purposes. Washington Post.

He was q beggar with the old worr
clothes, unwashed face, unkempt hair ant
unbrushed shoes. He waded up to thI
counter and told between his sobs, tears
groans and sighs how his stomach yearned
for a sandwich Clerk Sumner went to th'
safe, threw open its massive doors and from
its inner receptacles drew forth new and
shining five cent piece, which he laid kind
ly and gently into the quiveripg and black
ened beggar's hand.
Now, my poor friend, what do you pro
pose to do with that money!" seriously in
uuired the serious clerk.
The beggar looked down at his soiled and
tattered garments. He scanned his bene
factor curiously for a moment and then in
q tremulous tone said
''Young man, you sec me as I am, wear
ing the habiliments of an outcast. Yet
am honest, and will give you a truthful
answer. 1 shall first go and buy me good
supper then will take bath and cock
tail, and mayhap after that adorn this
handsome form with new suit Of clothes.
If there is any of it left after that I shall,
upon my word, deposit it in the bank.

sportine prospeots of 1858

The year promises well for international
sport. In addition to a yacht race for the
Americas cup there is a prospect OF a polo
team coming over from England. Mr.. Fox
hall Keene, when he sailed forSLiverpool on
the 10th Of December, carried a letter
from the Polo association authorizing him
to arrange for a series Of matches between
British and American polo teams to be
that the Worlds fair and a desire to learn
how much we have advanced IN the game
will bring the Englishmen over. If n team
does come it should be provided that a re
turn match be played in England year OF
two later. We owe the Englishmen a
visit, and a seasons play abroad would do
our players inestimable good-Harper's

The reason why stores on one side of Z
