Advertising by One Concern.
Much has been written and sad about
advertisers and advertising. but 1t Is per-
haps not generally known that, not only
is the greatest amount OF advertising
done in America. but that the largest
personal advertiser Is an American. Seve-
raj houses, both in Europe and America,
expend upwards OF half a million dollars
per year in advertising; but the adver-
tiser referred 10 has actually expended
during the past year over a million dol
lars wholly I'm advertising This vast sum
Of money has not been squandered but
has been carefully. JudiciousIy. scientit-
cally expended. and II has paid n profit
OF fifty cents for every dollar expended
Here Is certainly a valuable lesson for
those who advertise or have advertising
In contemplation. 1t shows that half
hearted attempts at wooing the Goddess
of Fortune by advertising are not profit
able. and that even extended efforts are
improbable unless done systematically,
scientifically. and with the greatest care
and judgment. IL Is not our purpose 20
give the name OF this advertiser. who.
besides being the largest one In the world.
IL certainly the most retiring and modest.
but We may say. incidentally. that he
Is the protector OF the pre-digested food.
Paskola, which. however. Is only a small
part of the business transacted by this
concern. Men Of this special genius are
rare and the success which attends
their efforts still rarer. hut such success
shows what can be accomplished by well
conceived plans and superior snoEt. -.

astronomers will go Wild with delight in
anticipation OF the work OF the iity-inch
telescope to be provided by Messrs. Car
ncgie and Ph.pps.
IMPROVEMENTS FOR STAR-GAZERS.
In the telescope for the Chamberlain
Observatory a new departure Is made
in construction, from which great benefits
are expected TO result. y reduction IN
weight in telescope with tube more
than forty feet III length means less
friction, less hexure. and greater ease IN
motion in every direction, and more sat
isfactory work all arCahd. SO aluminium
was used by the makers OF this instru-
ment-not the metal in a pure state, but
an alloy which is now made. and while
scarcely any heavier than the pure metai,
has the tensile strength and stiffness OF
the best red metal or brass. This alloy
of aluminium, as used in the Chamber
lain telescope in certain parts, greatly re-
ducss the weight.
Professor George A. Fargis. 5. j., OF

mcnt that Is attached to the telescope

lege that registers the tim- OF the transit
OF the stars. Every movement OF star
is carefully recorded 10y the photo-chrono-

when a star begins its transit, and the
instrument photographs its movements.
The desire now so popular CT many
TO acquire aknowle1ge Of the heavens
and TO become familiar with astronomy

tions by the modern scientists. There Is
no telling what win be the outcome OF
the modern appliances on the telescopes
