small Lenses Combined.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Professor T. S. @.
Lowe, of Pasadena, CAL, the inventor
and owner of the Mount Lowe railroad,
and also an astronomer of note, thinks
the invention of Chicago man has rev.
olutionized the entire scope of telescope
research. Mr.. Lowe is making bust
ness trip throuph the East, and is stop
ping in Chicago for few days. He has
examined the new telescope invented by
L. Gatham, of this CITY. Mr.. Gatham
and his new glass have heretofore been
pronounced exceedingly visionary, and
the inventor is naturally elated over the
Endorsement OF man of the scientific
standing of Professor Lowe. Mr.. Gath
ANS method of construction is diametri-
cal[y opposed to the old plan. Instead
of the large lens, which, owing to the
difficulties surrounding manufacture,
has always been full of defects, Mr..
Gatham has built telescope composed
of number of small lenses, two inches
stiff glass frame, or sash, and are ex-
ceedingly dense and clear. The COM
bined effect of the small lenses causes
them to act as single lens. Telescope
builders haye denounced this theory as
totally impracticable. Professor Lowe
says the idea is a success, and is one of
the most important discoveries for years
in astronomical science, and he adds:
''I confess that when the idea was first
presented to me was not favorably i'm
pressed with its practicability. prom
| ised to look at Mr.. Gatham's invention,
however, at my earliest opportunity,
and so Tuesday night examined it. T.
can only say I was exceedingly surprised
and pleased to see the moon and belts of
Jupiter in looking through Mr.. Gatham's
7-inch telescope. The oceans and divis-
ions of Mars were also defined in an as
tonishingfy clear manner, notwithstand-
ing all the adverse conditions which sur
round Chicago for astronomical observa-
tions. I have 16-inch instrument on
Mount Lowe, but if Mr.. Gatham's tele-
scopes were put upon the market, the
Mount Lowe Company would be willing
to place one of them. see no reason
why 50-inch instrument could not be
made which would work wonders in as
tranomical discovery. Such telescope
as the Lick could not, in my opinion, be
put in the same class with telescope
built on these lines. Itopens the entire
question anew, and it looks to me as if
no limit can now be put on the poss1bili-
ties of sidereal research. It is certainly
wonderful discovery
Mr.. Gatham says he can build an in
strument for $1,000 which will be as eff
fective as the famous Lick telescope.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh, manufactured by F. J..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure in the market. It is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspoonful. It acts directly on the
blood,and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Address.

he declined the invitation, as / think
most inexperienced persons would do
The slate is blasted ont in huge blocks
and is hoisted out by steam and turned
over to the men who know how to re-
duce it to the proper size. Huge blocks
of it are taken in hand by these work
men, who cut uotch into one end of
each piece. Then they take chisel and
a mallet, and they are 80 skillful in di-
recting their blows that they can split
the blocks Of slate in almost any way
they please. If you watch the slab on
which one of them is working, you win
see a little hair line running through ii,

The smaller pieces thus produced are
taken in hand by another set of men,
who split them up into sheets of the
proper thickness fo- roofing slate. This
they do with long bladed instrument
about the shape Of a putty knife, but
many times larger, and il You saw
them do it you would marvel how they

He Went Fishing and Forgot That It Was
His Wedding Day.
The Rev. George Harvest, minister OF
Thames Ditton, a great scholar and
sldllful fisherman, was one of the most
absentminded men Of his time. He was
engaged to daughter of the bishop Of
London, but on the day Of his wedding,
being gudgeon fishing, he overstaid the
appointed hour, and the lady, justly Of
Tended at his neglect broke off the
match. With Arthur Onslow, the
speaker of the house Of commons, Mr..
Harvest was on terms of great intimacy.
Being one day in punt together on the
Thames, he began to read beautiful
dassage from some Greek author, and
throwing himself backward in an ecstasy
fell into the river, whence he was with
difficulty fished out,
VIXEN Lord Sandwich was eanyassing

at Eton, went down to give him his

The Loon as a DOdEsr.

There is no denying that all the looms
ever Matched up 10 date have been
"artful dodgers" in superlative degree,
The question is often raised whether
they are quick enough to dodge bullet.
/ once had guide who drew a distine-
tion quite too fine, as | thought He
claimed that loon could see the fash Of
a percussion cap at the breech Of a muz-
zle loading piece and could dodge, but
admitted that, with the rife loaded like
all modern ones, at the breech, no loon
could escape shot rightly aimed For
my part, do not believe the interval Of
time between the fire at the two ends Of
the barrel to be measurable by eyes OF
birds or men or anything short of q

As to the question, however, it is
possible to reason with tolerable conf
dence. We know the speed Of rife
bullet. Call it /, 400 feet second. I'm
agine your loon at that distance or
nearer. Then reflect how slowly birds
head must move to use up more than q
second in dropping few inches under
water. Gravity alone would carry 1t
farther than that II is easy to believe
that If the wary bird happens to be look
ing toward the hunter the rife fash
suggests danger. A half second would
give ample time to dodge, provided the
action began promptly. II Is safe to say
that II takes looms weight in lead to
kill him, and we may call il settled
that, il loon does not dodge bullet,

He Was Favored by Rain Until the Manager
Drowned Him Out.


Drowned Him Out.
The retired left fielder was telling the
story. Hank MoGinnis, " he said,
twas the greatest first baseman ever
seen. He could play the bag outer sight
when he was a mind to, but he was the
LATEST man in "a counties, and he
didn't play no ball when he could git
outen it. He was allays turnin up with
a spiked foot or a split thumb or some
thin of the kind, an ginerally made out
to lay off more'n half the time. The
summer we were playin in the Western
league we struck o manager who was
onto Hanks curves. He took him to
one side when the season begun an tol
him that he wouldn't stand no gratis.
He marked out to him that if he didn'
play every day he would git laid off an
lose his pay. Sore heels an thumbs was
barred.
Hank, bein lazier than ever that
year, was oonsiderbul stirred up about
this. He didn't have no likin to play,
but he was hot after the long green, an
he KEEP playin along an kiokin like a
bay steer all the time, Finally he got q
couple of days lay off an went to see
his mother, SO he said. He got back on
time an complained of being sick, but
the manager tol him t. git inter th'
game or lose 90 cold plunlSs, an he got
in. Mex day we couldn't play, There
was big rain. jus before the time
t. call the game on the day after that
they was another big rain.
can it went on like this fer a straight
80 days. 1t would allays rain jus be-
fore the game, whether we was home or
away. Hank be got fat loafin around
an was ON first rate terms with hisseh,
Finally the manager had to let out some
of the men to reduce expense, an Hank
got the run. Then the rains stopped.
Now, what do you think that man done
SOS he could git his money without
workin? Seems he knew somethin about
rainmaltin, an when he took that trip
home he got his chemicals together an
didn't do thing but make rain every
afternoon jus before the game. "-Buf'
