upon this strange figure ON the cider

At length local millionaire-Dr. H.

use, and the citizens of Rochester pre-.
sented him with splendid 16.inch tel
escope-the instrument We have been
describing-at that time the third larg-
est in America. 1t was noble gift and
quickly did the recipient prove the wis
dom of their donation. In three success

from the Vienna inatitute for comet dis
coveriee.
But in searching for comets his keen
vision was constantly detecting minute.

the southern hemisphere.

out an observer, and the history OF
astronomical achievements demonstrates
the important TACT that clear seeing is
as necessary as good equipment for ac'
complishing great results.
Prof. Burnham, with six-inch teles-
cope, became famous by discovering nu-
merous double stars which had escaped
the eyes OF astronomers with far more
powerful instrumenss. The fifth moon
of Jupiter is visible in 26inch telescope
at Washington, and also in the 23.inch
refractor at Princeton, but it was neces-
cary for the keen-eved Bernard to point
it out before the Washington and Prince
ton astronomers could detect the little
satellite. So. in order to make the splen-
did equipment and unsurpassed location
OF the Lowe observatory available for the
beat results, it became necessary that g
trained and experienced director should
superintend che scientific work.

who fastens those lower buttons, which

must get on his knees to do il, and
there are so many things fellow can

new method of eupjugating the male
man. A very swell ulster isstens with
one button at the bust, the coat being
cut away sharply below that point. and
above turning back in the universal
wide revers.
The ulster's cape has undergone many
changes, all in the line OF jauntiness.
The dressieet cape is really like a pair
of epaulettss. for it may be said that
the cape exists only as it falls over the
shoulders, and the ulster is capeless st
front and back. Over the shoulders it
falls in three or four great stiff, futed
folds that begin to eet ont at the collar
and continue to iut out to the very tip
Of the widest point OF the full sleeves.

BASE BALL AT ST. Paul.

The western lea gue has dropped Sioux
City from its mer bership and taken IN
St. Paul. The rangement is not quite
satisfactory to tie St. Paul sportsfor the
reason that tho franchise was given to
Capt. Comiske. instead of Walter Viii
mot a reside of St. Paul. Wilmot,
formerly Of the Chicagos, is a player
without guie and a gentleman. The
fact of his being a resident of est Paul
vas the only thing that moved the ball
cranks of the sanity city to make an
effort for position in the western league,
ns the game had been so boldly and un
mercifully jobbea right before their eyes
in recent years. that the true lovers OF
the sport had lost all interest in it. With
Wilmot to run it. they felt sure of a
square game and the old fever spread
rapidly among the cranks, but when
everything was thought to be arranged.

fion. and whenever it develops really

ferred to the Cincinnatis.

Sioux City club have been signed by
Comiskey for the ST. Paul club.
