DIX. LEWIS SWIFT. near FaSaucud.
At this point it is expected that, owing
to the exceptional advantages in the
way of atmospheric conditions, splendid
results will be obtained. The observato-
ry will also have the advantage of being
situated farther south than any tele-
scope in the world, having sweep of
the horizon of nine degrees, an area
such as has never before been possible
in a glass of the kind.
The glass itself is superb 16 inch
refracting telescope, made in the best
days Of Alvan Clark, the veteran lens
grinder Of Cambridgeport, Mass. Ac-
cording to the makers testimony, it is
the best instrument he ever made of the
size.
Next fall, when the Mount Lowe rail-
way is completed, there will be erected
on the summit of Mount Lowe a com.
plete astronomical observatory at an al
titude 1900 feet higher than the Lick
observatory. The telescope now on Echo
mountain will be transferred thither,
and the institution will be placed in
charge of Professor Lewis Swift.
This celebrated astronomer was born
at Clarkson, Monroe county, N. Y, Feb.
80, 1920. He was the son Of farmer
with large family and a small income
and worked hard On the farm until, at
the age Of Is, fracture Of the hip rem
dered him lame for life Then he at
tended school for three years. walking
daily to the Clarkson academy and back,
distance of over two miles, on crutch-
es. He finally fitted himself for lee
turer on scientific subjects and followed
that vocation for several years.
In 1865 he read DR.. Thomas Dick g
works OH astronomy and became 50
enamored of the subject that he deter
mined to devote his life to that science.
With his own hands he made his first
| telescope and through itviewed the Do
natl comet In 1862 he discovered the
great Swift comet, which made him
famous and caused his removal to Roch.
ester, where the Warner observatory was
erected and equipped for his use. DR..
Swift has now to his credit the discov-
cry Of nine comets and $50 nebul&. His
last great discovery was made in 1892,
when he found the large comet of that
year. DR.. Swift is very frugal in his
habits and does not use tobacco or slim
ulants. He has been twice married, ani
Of his five children, four survive.

There is an extra incentive this year for
each club of the National league to win
the pennant and even to finish second or
third. Since 1891 the players of League
club have had no pecuniary inducement to
urge them on in their efforts to win the
championship as there was prior to that
time, when a worlds series between the
winners in the League and Association fol-
lowed the ending of the regular season,
wherein the two>teams shared in the re-
ceipts of the post championship games.
During several Of these worlds series the
contending players proflted largely by gate
receipts. Especially was this the case in
1887, when the Detroit and St. Louis teams
played their celebrated worlds series,
travelling around to the principal cities
in special Pullman car and drawing
large crowds everywhere. The two teams,
i'm series of Is games, drew $42, 900 into
the grounds at St. Louis, Detroit, Brook.

THESE ARE THE DAYS
When the Girl Who is to be Vaccinated
Scenteth Trouble From Afar.

Baltimore Telegram.
These are the days when the
thoughts Of the "mery, merry mai.
den" turn to vaccination, and In con-
sequence the preservation Of her
health and beauty-but more particu-
larly her beauty. There Is testy old
doctor on North Charles street, who,
if he despises one thing more than
another, it Is the giddy, gushing girl;
and one day just such one tripped
daintily up to his office door, rang the
bell, and, when the doctor made his
appearance, told him with giggle
she had come to be yaccinated.
"Where 2" asked the doctor, bluntly.
"Where?" echoed the maiden In
wide-eyed wonder.
"Yes on the arm or above the an"
A delicate shrek broke of the doc
tors sentence.
ooh ! on the arm, Of course" said
little Miss Giddy.
"Well, take off your clothes"
"Sir"
"Take off your waist"
"But, doctor, Pm alone, l have not
mamma with me-"
T'll soon fix that" and with dex-
trous movement he makes small rip
in the seam of the sleeve OF the pretty
] silk waist and exposes bit Of white
e arm about the size Of silver dollar.
D doctor, will 1t hurt?'
e Certainly
S "Oh, my how do you do il, with a
n scrape or lance?"
"Neither; l use this"
y And he held up knife big enough
|, to chop a mans leg off.
7, with this" he continued, II chip
e a chunk out of your arm about the
D. size OF the pound Of flesh 'Shylock
% wanted from 'Antonio's' body. Now,
Is if you make the least outcry during
d the operation you'll be sure to con-
tract smallpox. Be quiet nOw."
le The now half-faintirg girl closed
'e her eyes and gritted her teeth. A
1t slightly painful scratch was felt upon
st her arm, then "all was over"
/. SIS that all ?" asked Miss Giddy.
n "That's all" answered the doctor.
ed Then she passed on her hOmewart
Ii way a martyr to vaccination, and tn
doctor wiped the gore from his dagger
US and calmly awaited the next victim.

LOVES VIGIL.

Say not 81 am lonely"
When mornings new light
Drives swiftly away
The phantoms of night,
My spirit is with thee,
Sweet Alice, to bless,
And clasp thee, and fold thee,
In endless caress.
Thou art never alone,
When the worlds madding strife
Makes turbid and dark
The wild pillows of life;
When thy soul is storm-tossed
On life's turbulent sea,
! would fly to loves haven,
Sweet spirit, with thee.
Thou art never alone,
When the far, solemn light
OF infinite worlds
Gilds the vast dome of night,
When earth falls asleep,
Like an infant at rest,
lovingly clasp thee,
In dreams, to my heart.
Wherever thou art,
The vigil Of love
Will be sleepless as that
OF the angel above;
1t will follow thy steps
To earth's ultimate zone,
And whispen "I'm here
Thou art never alone"

Well RaDtIzed,

At one of the smaller cities Of New
England there was an Episcopal
church which had two mission chapels,
commonly known as the East End
Mission and the North End Mission,
from the parts of the city where they
were respectively located, says the
Boston Transcript. One day the
rector gave out the notices in his
most distinguished high church tone.
as follows: "There will be service
at the North End Mission at 3 O'Clock,
and at the East End at 5. Children
will be baptized at both ends"

it is essentially bookkeeping ma

PASSING OFF THE BOOT.
Trade Effects of the Increased Use
of Shoes by Men.
ITO BE CoNTINUED.)


The diminished use Of boots is mat
ter of concern to the manufacturers
of them and to the producers Of heavy
leather and heavy calf skins. Twenty
years ago the calf boot industry was q
leading one in New England. Whole
towns were studded with factoriess
which produced calf boots exclusively.
For a decade the sale has been grad
ually falling off. and to-day 1t Is OF
hardly any Importance. A few manu-
facturers Of shoes include boots as a
specially, but the demand is too light
too amount to much. When calf boots
were more in vogue manufacturers
consulted the partialities Of the cow
boys. to whom prices was secondary
consideration. The legs We're frequent
ly corded with silk stitching. The star
and crescent and other fanciful orna
mentations We're inlaid on the legs Of
the boots; Their We're high heels and the
boots were striking specimens Of me-
chanical art. The soles were inlaid
with copper, zinc and brass nails.
The cowboys no longer pay $15 or $50
for pair of boots. The want sub
stance instead of show. But they
We're not the only wearer of calf boots.
They were extensively Worn. Many
men prefer them to-day, though the
number is growing less. The old-fash
toned stogn boots We're formerly sold
in large quantities: they are well-nigh
obsolete. There followed a demand for
Il lighter and more stylish article. A
kip boot of finer texture was produced
about equal in appearance to the best
calf boot but this, too. has fallen
somewhat into disuse. and the sales
the usual amount. Where there We're
twenty factories producing boots ex-
clusively. there is now not one. Even
the farmers are using heavy shoes in
stead Of boots. and if it becomes Il nee
essity to wear lons-legged boots, they
buy rubber. Twenty years ago the en-
tire stock of Salem and Peabody was
heavy boot and brogan leather. To-
day there are less than half a dozen
tanners making it. Brogans and plow
shoes are Indispensable in many Sec
tons of the country. and there are
comparatively few exclusive manu-
facturers of these now The Creed
moor. Dom Pedro. English ties and
Creole congress are supplanting them.
The decline in the consumption of calf
boots affect the tanners Of calf skins.
It is question what is to be done
with heavy skins. The tanners must
necessarily buy more or less of them.
They cannot select light and medium
weights exclusively. and IL they tan
them in the finished state. There ia.
nevertheless. use in this world for
whatever is good for anything. and
there will be some way Of disposing of
heavy calf skins, though for the mo-
ment it appears difficult to point out
the direction into which they will be
moved.
