MONOCLES IN EUROPE.
Their Use Believed to Have Originated In

Their Use Believed to Have Originated In
the British Army.
In every capital of Europe the mono
Gle is common enough. 1t attracts no
attention on the street. In row Of men
at the theater considerable proportion
are sure to have it. Perhaps half the
officers in the German army wear mono
cles They are to be seen in abundance
at any meeting Of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies in France are
not ashamed to go among their constit-
uents wearing them. A session of the
English house of commons glitters with
solitary eyeglasses. The single eyeglass
is said to have originated among the
officers Of the British army.
About the beginning Of the century
an order was issued that army officers
should not wear eyeglasses or specta-
cles Itwas supposed that they gave the
wearers an unmilitary appearance. The
order caused severe Inconvenience to
many short sighted officers, and one Of
them, belonging to crack regiment,
invented the single eyeglass. He
claimed that, being an eyoglass. its use
was no contravention of the order which
prohibited spectacies and eyeglasses. 1t
soon became very popular in the army
and was afterward adopted. On account
probably of this origin the single eye
glass is very generally worn in Europe
by army officers.
1t is by some thought to give an as
pect of determination and ferocity to
the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend an
air Of feebleness. New York World.

Linooln,s view. on Assassination.

That night as we walked back to the
White House through the grounds be-
tween the war department buildings
and the house I fancied that saw in
the misty moonlight man lodging be-
hind one of the trees. My heart for a
moment stood still, but as we passed in
safety came to the conclusion that the
lodging figure was creature of the
imagination. Nevertheless as parted
from the president at the door of the
White House 1 could not help saying
that thought his going to and fro in
the darkness of the night, as it was
usually his custom, often alone and un-
attended, was dangerous reoklessness.

TRYING A BIG TELESCOPE.
Preliminary Test OF tho Forty Inch Lenses
For the Ycri-es Observatory.


For the Ycri-es Observatory.
In Cambridge on Sunday evening
there was an experimental test of the
great 40 inch telescope now being made
for the University Of Chicago by Pro-
fessor G. e. Hale, the astronomer, un.
der whose dictatorship tho new Yerkcs
observatory OF the University Of Chi
cago will enter upon its career friend
of his. rising young physicist last
connected with the Massachusetts in
stitute of technology; Mr.. Clark and his
assistants The great lenses, the largest
that the world has ever seen, each of
them equal in diameter very nearly to
en- ordinary buggy wheel, weighing
with their mountings more than 200
pounds, were maintained in their posi-
tion high in air by q great steel tube,
63 feet in length, and seeming in the
dimness of the night almost intermina-
BILE. The ponderous tube is poised mid
way upon q great shaft, which permits
free motion in every direction, and this
again is perched upon a massive pier Of
masonry capable of upholding in safety
tho tons of weight which it is called
upon to bear.
Mounting the stepladder which serv-
ed as temporary Observing chair, Pro-
fessor Hale placed his critical eye at
the tube, and then in deliberate success
sion applied tho different tests known
to astronomers. To the uneducated eye
the glass ON this preliminary test was
truly at perfection, but the trained eyes
of the experts caught points at times
whereby tho delicacy of the instrument
might be increased. Then the planet
Mars came within range of the instru-
ment.
The first view Of this object by Pro-
fessor Halo brought forth exclamations
of delight, for this telescope by far ex-
ceeded in light collecting ability any
instrument which he had previously
turned upon the planet Mars showed
itself as a great reddish yellow disk,
whose clean cut edges attested the ex-
cellcnce of the instrument. Its bright
ness with 40 inches Of aperture was al
most sufficient to blind the eye, and its
great disk was figured with the dark
and light markings which define its to-
biography. For an hour or more the plan
ct was kept in view, delighting every
one of the assembled group with the
splendor of the sight Then began a
search for the satellites. These are faint
stars. visible at their best only with
good apertures, and SO close to the
planet as to be hardly beyond the glare
of light whisl it diffuses. The outer
one Deimos, was easily caught, but
for some time Phobos, its companion,
could not be discerned. It was at last
seen by Mr.. Clark almost against the
body of its principal, and for nearly
half an hour it was followed by the diff
ferent members of the company.
The lenses, excellent as they have
proved to be, will again be placed in
the shop. and with the knowledge gain
cd Of their minor inaccuracies of figure
they will again undergo local treatment
until they reach that high standard
which has placed the Clark glasses al
ways in the vaaasn point of interesting
astronomical discovery. Boston Tran

EDITOR HERALD Gould you not find
space in your valuable paper for . plea
on behalf OF the struggling students of
the city Of Los Angeles? It is not gem
orally known that goodly humber OF
our most prominent men of today,
may say that 80 per cent OF them have
had to work their way through school,
and although the public school system
has placed . good education within reach
Of all who have parents or guardians
to provide food or clothing for them,
how ara the young men and women
who have to rely upon their own efforts
to gain living to take advantage of
this provision for their mental welfare :?
These are the people who need aid and
from whose ranks have sprung our most
noble men-namely, Lincoln, Garfield,
and other bright stars in our national
constellation. These mon would never
have amounted to what thev did had
they not received aid in their student
days, and the men who helped
them have done q glorions thing in
that they gave to this nation some of
the best presidents she ever had in the
executive chair. Who can tell but that
among the struggling students Of Los
Angeles there may be future presi-
dent? / have q proposition to make
through ths columns Of your paper to
the people OF Los Angeles, and 1t is
this. viz, that some church or ladies'

TO be honest and deserving could

able them to earn their board

hours. l have seen moro food thrown
away In . day by the servants OF rich
people than would keep some hungry
students q week. Now. if there was q
bureau OF information, such az have
suggested. they could tend their names
and addresses there and for an hour or
two's work . student could earn his
meals. These people would have the
satisfaction Of doing good at no more
expense to. them and the additional sat
isfaction of knowing that nothing Is
wanted, quote passage in
the current number of the Review
OF Reviews: "The school board is con,
cerned chiefly over theological issues,
but II 1t were possible to confront every
citizen with the spectacle of these pale
faced, scantily-clcd and poorly-fed he-
roes. there would be no need for further
argument or appeal. II the comfortable
and well-fed citizen could but feel for q
single day what each Of these scholars
feel, who come to school in want of
food. II would not be with discus-
sions OF abstract theology that the
time of the board would be occupied
but something practical would be done.''

this band.
Hoping you will insert this where it
may be seen and read by the benevolent
citizens Of Los Angeles. and that some
thing may be done for those whose
cause have championed. am yours,

They Make the Busiest Night of the Year
In q Newspaper ONCE.
There is one night in every year in
every great newspaper office when work
is done that is the least understood of
all that goes ON in the making Of daily
paper, one night when the highest state
Of fever attends the excitement and
strain of the most intense work that
falls to the lot of any men, except SOL
diers in war. That is election night.
That is the night when few men sit
down at 6 o'clock before virgin, sheets
Of paper, with the knowledge that be-
fore 2 o'clock the next morning they
must cover those sheets with the cleo
tion returns Of nation, digesting
mountains Of figures and apprising the
public Of the results in the most con-
densed forms, weeks in advance of the
official announcements, as sparks might
be counted while they fly from the
shapeless iron on blacksmith's anvil.
And these calculations must stand the
test of comparison with those which the
rival newspapers, working without col
laboration, as eager competitors, will
publish at the same moment.
The election figures come in driblets
and atoms and must be put together as
the Florentines make their mosaics
Some of it, we shall see, is plucked
from the very air-as magician seems
to collect coins in a borrowed hat-be-
gotten of reasoning, but put down be-
side the genuine returns with equal con-
fidence and almost accuracy.
