In prehistoric times the art was under

take an edge like knife, but it was lost,
and men have been trying for centuries
to rediscover it. Edison said once that

be as easy TO telephone across the At

Hardened copper wire would be better
than anything now in use for all cleo

The future JeIescoDe.

The great telescope of the future will
be refractor-not reflector. Further.
there is no limit to it's size that can ap-
parently be set at the present day. These
are conclusions which Mr.. Alvan Clark,
the leading lensmaker Of the world, has
reached, according to his paper in The
North American Review. Telescopes
consist Of two essential parasitic eye
glass and the object glass; The object
glass now consists Of two lenses-one of
crown glass, the other of flint glass. This
is to correct the alterations Of light and
color which result from the use of sin
gle convex lens.
The object glass of the telescope is
only following the general tendency to
great size that is manifest everywhere
in our time, from city business build
ing to steamship. In 1926 the greatest
telescope Of the time had an object glass
that was 81 inches across 1t was said
then that no telescope could ever have a
larger one. But the gradual increase in
size went on, till two years ago the tele-
scope of the Lick observatory was put
in place with an object glass of feet
aperture. Furthermore, Mr.. Clark has
now in his workshop at Cambridge
"two remarkably fine disks of 40 inches
diameter" ready for the final polishing
The glasses must of course increase in
thickness accordingly, and it might be
supposed they would absorb so much of
the light that passes through as to dim
the image. But this is not the case.
The two lenses of an object glass feet
across would only require, both together,
a thickness of 8 inches, and the glass is
SO clear that the light is not appreciably
diminished. 1t is certain that with these
mighty telescopes the Goth century holds
in store achievements for astronomers no
less wonderful than those awaiting other
investigators.

The county commissioners of What
com county are giving much attention
to matters pertaining to the revenues of
the county, and under their supervision
a revenue bill has been prepared for
presentation TO the legislature which
on the whole is a great improvement
over the present system, and, II
adopted, will save much confusion and
trouble and will also result in great
convenience and economy. The main
features of the bill, so far as the mode
of making the assessment and returns
of property are concerned, are much
like the present law. There is radi-
cal change in the mode of collecting
delinquent taxes. The new plan is to
have the treasurer collect them as
other taxes and enforce payment by
simply advertising property and max
ing sale without the expense and de-
lays Of suit. This is radical and de-
cided change for the better. The most
IN FOiA auA lthNult VI lllc Dlll Is Tue pIO-
vision that there shall be but one as
SCISSOR for the county and his assess
ment shall also be an assessment upon
which the Incorporated cities of each
county shall levy their tax. When the
assessment shall be completed the
councils Of the several cities in each
county shall fix the rate Of their levy
and cause it to be certified TO the
county treasurer, who shall collect the
tax as county taxes are collected and at
the same time, and distribute The
money to the cities to which it belongs.
The ,plan proposed is to have one as
SCISSOR, one tax collector, one time for
the payment Of all taxes and one place
at which they shall be paid. The great
advantages both rs to economy and
convenience Of tax payers are manifest
from a mere statement of the proposed
system, and it is difficult to see why
any objection should be made to the
new arrangement.

The New Whatcom Independent
realized a long-felt ambition yesterday
afternoon by graduating into neatly
printed five column daily. The enter
prising proprietors do not ask for sup
port on the "home enterprise" ground,
neither because of their political creed,
which is democratic, but purely on the
merits of their journal as wide-awake,
up-to-the-times newspaper. The new
daily drops the old name of "Inde-
pendent" for what it considers the
more appropriate name Of "The
Times" The HERALD offers friendly
hand to its evening contemporary and
wishes it every success. Certainly its
advent just at present evidences con-
siderable nerve on the part of its pro-
prietors, but that is not a strange
virtue to the fraternity of which they
are members. Should the HERALD be
compelled, as The Times predicts, to
"rehash" from its columns all news oc-
curing after p. M, it will at least be
so worked over as that even The Times
will fail to recognize its own children.
Late last evening, after the appearance
of The Times, it was rumored that
Colonel De There had also determined
TO graduate the Express into a daily,
to keep even with his evening COM
petitor, and if so, The Times will find a
rival in the field worthy its noblest
steel, for the editor of the Express
knows how to work.

David Dudley Field lays before the
public his plan of settling the labor
question. It is, in brief, that the state
shall pass law making business cor
porations divide their capital, consisting
of the value Of their buildings, money.
machinery, etc., into small shares-Mr.
Field himself suggests s. as the amount
of one share, so that their workmen can
become purchasers of some of the stock.
He believes this would reconcile the in
terests of capital and labor in such a
way that there would be no more trouble.
Mr.. Field, being a lawyer, ought to know,
however, that laws amount to little
without public opinion to back them.
If he and the other apostles Of reform
would go on a mission Of educating both
employers and employed up to the point
where each is willing to give the other a
fair chance, then his law compelling cor
porations to cut up their stock into small
parcels might stand some chance Of en-
forcement.

Fish Exhibit at the Worlds Fair

1t is acknowledged in Europe that the
United States leads the world in the
science and art Of pisciculture. The
United States fish commission is prepar-
ing an exhibit for the Columbian fair
that will still further open the eyes Of
Europe to what we can do. II you can
not take in everything at the exposition,
omit something else, but be sure and see
the fish commissions exhibit. Part Of
the live fish display will be arranged to
give the effect that you are standing at
the bottom of the sea looking up through
multitude of fishes at home in their
native waters.
There, too, will be the fish hatcheries,
which will show all the world how our
skilled fish culturists hatch in small
ponds millions of shad, Goldfish, mack
erel, ETC., and distribute the young fry to
the various waters in which fishermen
can catch them when they are full grown.
This part of the commissions work has
been 50 effectual that already the annual
catch of shad has perceptibly increased
in the Delaware
The methods ofneep sea dredging will
also be amply illustrated. The fish that
can be distributed in the fresh waters of
the country constitute perhaps those in
which the larger portion of our people
are directly interested-as, for instance,
trout and whitefsh. These will receive
their due share of attention. 1t is to be
presumed, too, that the commission will
by no means neglect the opportunity to
show the farmers of the country how
each one of them may have his own fish
pond and draw a food supply from II
without endangering the health of his
family from malaria

The Pope,s Jnbilee This Year.

The pilgrimages to Rome in honor Of
Pope Leo began with the first month of
1898, and they will continue at intervals
until their close in December. The pope
had a golden jubilee FIVE years ago. That
was to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
his assumption Of the priesthood. The
present golden jubilee will celebrate the
Goth anniversary Of his conservation as a
bishop. twill be seen that his advance
ment was rapid. Deputations from diff
ferent countries will visit Rome at inter
walls during the jubilee year. Many
events Of the greatest importance in
Roman church ceremonials have had and
will have place.
One was the creation of number of
cardinals. Another is the issuance of an
encyclical early in the year which, it is
said, will deal especially with the ques-
tons of patriotism and state education.
1t is said that the pope wishes to i'm
press particularly on the people of the
United States thatlove of country is part
of the Catholic churchs teaching, and
that his holiness believes in the thorough
AUGMENTATION of Catholic children in
this country.
Most novel TO the Protestant mind,
however, will be the ceremony of beat
ifcation." This amounts to solemn
ceremonial proclamation that the spirits
of certain eIninently devout and sanity
persons who have departed this life are
released from the place of waiting souls
and have entered the state of heavenly

Spring management of Bees.

There is only one thing which is
really essential to look after, as soon
as tAe bees are set from the cellar OF
in early spring, no matter which way
the bees have been wintered, and that
is to see that they have plenty OF hon.
ey to last them until pollen becomes
plentiful. This can best be done on
any cool morning by raising the cover
from the hive and turning back the
oailt. or whatever covers the combs,
dIag this carefully, so as not to
asSklse the bees. If plenty OF sealed
honey is seen along the top-bars OF the
frames, the bees are all safe; and II
otherwise they are not SAFE and
should be fed enough to last four or
five weeks, always remembering that
bees consume more honey at this time
than they do during the fall and win
ter months. Having made sure that
they all have honey enough, there is
no further need of molesting the bees
till the weather becomes warm enough
for them to work in the fields or trees
gathering pollen: in fact, it Is now be-
lieved that further disturbance is pos
itiyely detrimental, inasmuch as it
often causes the loss of bees and brood
as well as a greater consumptiVe OF
honey, without any proportionate gain

Symptoms of Chambers.

A man may think horse has
cold. In three or four days the ami
mails has apparently recovered except
slight discharge from one nostril or
sometimes from both. The discharge
is oily, greenish in color, sticky and
tenacious, sometimes mingled with
bits of hay and grain. 1t comes from
ragged ulcer in the nostril. Before
dying the horse may travel about
for three or four years, but he is all
the time spreading the contagion,
particularly through water-troughs,
which he infects with bacili. We
detect glanders by the discharge and
by lump which always forms on tic
under jaw. If in doubt we give
horse purgative and two drachms
of turpentine, which raises his tenn
perature and develops the disease at
once if it really exists. 1t should be
remembered that it is comparatively
easy for man to catch the glanders
from a horse, and that if does, a
frightful death is NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

There is no more resson why the

shonld be entirely uniform than that

should be. 1t is a principle we'll

know of in natural species Is in the

much in habit that the fact must have
been noticed by almost every one.
