BIG TELESCOPES.
Things That May BE Revealed with the
Modern Glass.

Modern Glass.
There have been wonderful develop
ments in the science of astronomical
observations during the last few years,
but it is believed that we are only on
the threshold of greater discoveries
than any that have yet been made.
Astronomers are greatly interested in
the immense Photographic telescope
which has lately been completed for
the Harvard college observatory and
will be sent to Peru, where the atmos-
pheric conditions are said to be far
superior to those at any other station
hitherto occupied by astronomers. 1t
is the gift, says the Los Angeles Call
Times, of Miss C. w. Bruce, of New
York, who, at the suggestion Of Prof.
Pickering, furnished the fifty thousand
dollars which the instrument has cost.
The object glass is constructed SUBJ
stantially like an ordinary portrait
lens, but is two feet in diameter, with
Il focal length of eleven feet; in -ap-
pearance, therefore, it compares with
an ordinary telescope of the same di-
ameter very much as a mortar with a
Krupp gun. In Photographic efficiency,
as measured by the quickness with
which it can secure the impression OF a
faint star or nebule, it is about four
times as powerful as the thirteen-inch
lenses OF the telescopes which are now
engaged in charting the heavens, and
the compound lens enables it to cover
an area nearly five times as large: l. e.,
in five minutes it will photograph stars
as fast as the older instruments could
reach in twenty, and will take in five
times as large a portion Of the sky. BY
longer exposure fainter and fainter
stars can be reached beyond any limit
now assignable. 1t has been supposed
until lately that we had about reached
the limit of capacity in. telescopes the
making of lenses for these instruments
being most difficult and tedious job,
requiring several years to complete,
and necessitating the greatest care to
avoid even the smallest flaw, which
would render the telescope worthless.
If, however, there is anything in q re-
cent discovery which is reported to
have been made by an inventor in Eu-
rope, we may expect before long TO see
telescopes constructed compared with
which the most powerful now in use
are mere toys. This inventor claims to
have discovered method by which a
number of lenses may be welded to-
gether without detracting from the eff
ficicncy Of the glass. If this is true
what wonderful discoveries may not be
in store in the field of astronomy? AL
ready with the latest telescopes; in use
it is impossible to see an object On the
face Of the moon as large as Our court
house. With a telescope of greatly in
creased power we should be able 80 find
out what those so-called canals on The
plrnet Mars really are, and whether
that planet is inhabited, as appears
probable from the fact that it ilaG a.
atmosphere, while its surface is diver
sified with land and water The pos

a taste for anything beyond their i'm
mediate surroundings.

TRADE UNIONS IN ENGLAND.

Over a Million Members in 800 Bodies

One of the leading feG t,l1'e, Of d re-

Of trade unions f~r the year -. given
pending the issue OF fuller "details in
the report OF the chief labor core

ports Of 500 separate unions have been
dealt with, 1872 Of which are registered

with 5S5.3o9 members, paid in sick al
lowances over 81, 600 600 and So unions
paid as accident benefit to disable
members $4,000. For the purpose of
comparing 1892 with the previous yc:r
only 381 unions are available that be-
ing the number supplying rctarns for
both years. The increase of member
ship on these 3S1 unions during 1892
was 80, 161, or a little over per cent.
upon the membership of 1891. The to-
tai income of the 3S1 societies showed
however, an increase Of 21S per cent.
There was also a very considerable rise
in expenditure, amounting, in fact, to
nearly A per cent upon the outlay of
1891. The chief share Of this increase
was due to heavy demand upon the un-
employed and dispute benefits, which
in 1892 absorbed $1,9OOO00 more than
in 1891.
Particulars are also given with re-
gard to cooperating farming in Eng
land and Scotland in 1891 and 1892
Forty-seven societies have made re-
turns, showing that a total of 1862
acres was being farmed in 1893, an in
crease of 121L over 1892. The capital
employed in 1893 was $3.50, ZOO, an in
crease of $4,000 over 1892, and the net
loss sustained amounted to 81, 100, as
compared with 3.41O in 1852.

GREEK DEPUTIES AS BANDITS.
No Wonder the Land of Homer Is Unsafe
for the Traveller.

Tor the Traveller.
The discovery that two Greek depu-
ties have been acting as protectors of
the bandits in the land of Homer
shows the alarming power which rob-
bers have acquired there. The ban
dts, says a Berlin paper, Understand
how to win the sympathies of the
Greek officials. Indeed, the mayor of
Duzesti recently gave a dinner in the
city hall in honor of a robber band. A
few days ago it was announced that
the two Greek deputies, Chianussis
and Iiadjigakis, were arrested on the
charge Of being professional robbers
The complaint against these two depu-
ties is a unique document, reading as
follows: AT the beginning of August,
ks92, band of robbers, under com
mand Of Messrs. X. Tsanl1a and G.
Tsouka, armed with Chassepot rifles,
crossed the Greek border at Kastanlza
ana appeared upon the Turkish estate
Of Hairedden Bey. After stealing
everything possible the robbers took
possession of the landed proprietor,
flairedden Bey, and took him back to
Greece. The deputies Ghianussis and
Hadjigal1is had already informed the
border soldiers that their friends.
eleven III number, would cross the Dor
der with Turkish prisoner, and made
arrangements that they facilitate as
much as possible the return Of the
Greeks to their native country. The
soldiers carried out the wishes OF the
deputies in the most friendly way and
even supplied the band with viatuals.
One night was passed on the Turkish
border On the following Eig.t the
band with the prisoner proceeded TO
the village Teha, which belongs 10
Deputy Ghianussis, where the deputy
and his two brothers, Constantin and
Alexander, awaited them. After G
short rest the robbers took their pris-
oner TO the village of Duzesti. On Cc-
to5er the two deputies, accompanied
by Kristodolos Dimakis, the mayor of
kastanea, who was charged with the
pursuit Of the robbers, appeared in
Duzesti, where long conference with
the prisoner followed. It was finally
told him that he would be held captive
until his family sent certain ransom
for him. This happened, in fact,
in November. The money was divided
between the two deputies, the mayor
of Kastanea and the band of robbers"
1t is certainly small wonder that
travel in parts of Greece is reported
unsafe, when even members Of the ma
tional legislature, called to make laws,
are accused of being professional ban
dts.
