TELESCOPES.
Points of Difference Between the Rejecting
and the Isefracting Instruments.

Points of Difference Between the Rejecting
and the Refracting Instruments.
A very pretty little experiment, which
illustrates the two methods of form
ing an optical image and by way Of cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refracting and rejecting
telescopes, may be performed by any
one who possesses a reading glass and
magnifying hand mirror. In a room
that is not too brightly illuminated pin
sheet of white paper on the wall oppo-
site to a window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position of the sun. Taking first the
reading glass, hold it between the win
dow and the wall parallel to the sheet
of paper and foot or more distant from
the latter By moving it to and fro
little you will be able to find a distance
corresponding to the focal length Of the
lens, at which a picture of the window
is formed on the paper. This picture,
or image, will be upside down because
the rays of light cross at the focus. By
moving the glass little closer to the
wall you will cause the picture Of the
window to become indistinct, while
beautiful image of the houses, trees or
other objects of the outdoor world be-
yond will be formed upon the paper.
We thus learn that the distance of the
image from the lens varies with the dis
lance of the object whose image is form
ed. In precisely similar manner AN
image is formed at the focus of the OBJ
ject glass of refracting telescope.
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror, and detaehing the sheet OF
paper from the wall hold it nearly in
front of the mirror between the latter
and the window When you have adj
justed the distance to the focal length
of the mirror, you will see an image of
the window projected on the paper. By
varying the distance as before you will
be able to produce at will pictures of
nearer or more remote objects 1t is in
this way that images are formed at the
focus of the mirror of rejecting tele-
scope. Garrett p. Serviss in Popular
Science Monthly.

dition Of the hotels was compelled to
double up with stranger He was a
very pleasant man of German descent
and did nothing erratic until he went
to bed Then he removed the casters
from the legs at the head Of the bed, SO
as to make it lower than the foot, placed
his pillows at the foot of the bed and
went to sleep with his head at least IL
inches lower than his feet. He slept the
sleep Of the just and had to be called
half dozen times in the morning. We
went down to breakfast together, and
ridiculed him for his peculiar sleeping
posture. He quoted some German sci
enlist with five syllable name as his
authority, and so convinced me of the
fact that it is entirely mistake to sup
pose that pillows and holsters are neces-
sary that discarded both and found to
my surprise that he was right. The dis
covery was a revelation to me, but it is
certain that to some people at least a
pillow is nuisance instead Of a COM

Of the milk trade as discovered by him

be "dyed" to suit the London fancy.
This is effected by mixing about one
teaspoonful Of liquid "anotta," yegeta.

every eight quarts of milk. In vain he
explained to his London customers that
the proper color Of most milk is white.

Mules peiIrious with Pleasure.

~ saw an odd sight in Luzerne
county, said Eckley B. Coke. six
mules that had for four years hauled
cars in the lower workings of coal
shaft to and from the foot of the shaft
had to be brought up, owing to the
flooding of the mine ON account of fire.
The mules in all that time had seen no
light stronger than the flicker of the lit
tie Davy lamps the miners carried. The
sun was in its zenith when they reached
the surface, and the atmosphere was as
clear as crystal.
1.-THE astonished creatures closed their
eyes to shut out the flood of strong
light and kept them closed while they
were being driven to pasture lot a
mile distant and turned loose. There
they stood trembling, as if they were
afraid something evil was about to be-
fall them. Presently they half opened
their eyes and peered around in open
mouthed amazement twas clear they
couldn't understand it.
"When they had become accustomed
to the sunlight, they elevated their
heads and slowly swept their gaze over
culm piles, sky mountains and horizon
again and again. Toward shutdown
they broke into chorus of joyous brays,
the like of which was never heard from
mules before.
"After n quarter of an hour of that
music they took to kicking, jumping,
whirling around like teetotums and
rolling ON the sod MS if they had gone
mad. For four days they spent their
time gazing at the new sights of field
and sky, refusing food and water, not
even nibbling at the grass and not as
much as blinking an eye in sleep. -

DEEP IN THE SEA.

Deep in a sea no plummet ever sounded
A buried city sleeps in its unfathomed grave.
The storms of time surge on and beat above it;
Stately and sad it rests beneath the restless
wave.
There, when the tropic Gains lie still and
brooding,
The mariner may lean and see the towers be-
low
And hear the faroff bells forever tolling
Above the noiseless streets where none may
come and go.
Beneath the storms and tides of this life's pas
sion
There rests untouched shadowy country
lying fair.
o temple beautiful 1 well remember
And count the blessed hours we walked to-
gether there.
Changeless in change. at peace beneath the

Clean white and still the closters of that
past for me.

A Problem In WIznrdrY.

We want to know why persons who
believe in wizards, or, at all events,
consult wizards, nearly always prefer to
believe i'll men or women who are of a
race inferior TO their own or in circum-
stances which prove that their occult
powers are of no use to themselves. The
rule is not inyariable, for there have
been great wizards like Paracelsus, Rog-
or Bacon, Michael Scott or Cagliostro.
who were acknowledged by those who
consulted OF feared them to be in all
ways their superiors, but it is seldom
broken. In all the letters ON country SUI
perstitions which we have published,
and the much greater number for which
we could find no room, the wise" man
or woman has always gypsy blood or
some popularity of appearance marking
out him or her unfavorably from their
kind. The wizard of India is usually
naked savage, while those who resort
to him are civilized beings clothed care
fully in muslin The reverence Of the
whites for the black Obeah man or
woman in the West Indies is the sub
ject of countless narratives, especially
in the French islands. London Specta-

Lavender.

Our fashions are French, but the new
color is, asa rule, our own. Last year
it was that puzzling pink magenta
which Mr.. Sargent painted in lady's
silk dress in the New gallery. This col
or has been revived for 1894, and in a
mitigated form, less voyant with a
good deal of the virulence Of it reduced,
it will be very popular. But still it
won't be the color, which is never re-
viyal, but always novelty. The new
color promises to be an aggressive shade
Of lavender, very sharp, very pronounced,
a little criard, something of the color of
a Michaelmas daisy. 1t again is color
for the brunette, so that we shall proba-
bly, have dark hair come into fashion. -

OF the episode in Mr.. O'Brien's novel
At least the soldier who gave Stonewal
jackson the severest check which h
ever received answers perfectly to th'
description of tone Of the most dashine

own words by 8 writer in "Donohoe'f

"Some time after the Mexican war ]
was yet in commission in military SER
vice, and stationed at st. Louis. The ad.
herents of the Young Ireland party Of
1848, in the north, brought pressure upon
the war department to grant me leave
of absence. I visited New York, and,
after conference with the leaders, with
their assistance I selected two men, each
unknown to the other. I kept them in
different quarters of the Astor House for
some days, training them verbally on
what I wanted them to do for me in Ire
land, giving each different section. l
desired to know what were the military
equipments and arms in the patriots or
oanized IN clubs and other bodies, and
the warlike resources attainable in the
country. They returned and reported
There was no means at all sufficient with

"General' make the tour of inspection
