PHOTOGRAPHIC TELESCOPE.

New Astronomical Instrument at the Yale Observatory-August Msteoric Displays to bs Photographed. The new astronomical instrument termed a sextuple' photographic tele- scope has just been completed by the firm of Warner & swazey of Cleveland, O., and is about to be shipped to this city. It will be placed in the Yale ob- servatory, and though intended for gen. eral astronomical photography, will be- gin it's picture-taking with the appear ance of the August meteoric displays. In certain respects, it is unique among photographic telescopes and may revo- lutiOnize present methods of work. It has six cameras instead on one, and together they cover a field ill the sky equal to that which would be occupied by 2, 400 full moons.
 By the use of the new instrument on the meteors it is expected to develop new facts relating to their height above the earth. The astronomers will place single telescopes at distances of two miles from the sextuple instrument, and, by means of electrical connections. will photograph simultaneously. The plates will then be compared and oalcu- lations will be made with view of establishing the distance of the meteors from the earth. >-.,:

IN FAVOR OF ADRAW WBRIDGE
INTERESTING HERRING BEFORE |
 GOVERNMENT ENGINEER.

strong Arguments Advanced In Behalf of q Drawbridge Over West River at Kimbsr- ly AyeHus-fhs Iteinonstrants to he Heard September IT.
 The hearing in the common pleas court room yesterday afternoon before Lieutenant Colonel II. r Roberts, of the United States corps of engineers, on the proposed drawbridgc over West river, occupied nearly four hours md then only one side of the question was heard. Judge Pickett md Attorney Ely, who fought for the bridge In the interests of the F.. A. Chatilcld com pany and several others, presented their case In full nearly and were anxious 10 have the question at issue settled im- medlntely so far as it concerned them or their clients.
 Attorneys filling and Webb objected to the proposed bridge In The interests of the town of Orange and the Win chester avenue railroad. They did not present their full side of the question and prayed for il p0stponcmcnt of the case on the grounds that they had not hnd sufficient time to prepare for the hearing.
 | Messrs. Pickett and Ely pu; the fol- lowing gentlemen on inc stand, who testified that the bridge was n necessity: N. D. Sperry, Heury Brrchcr, William | Alling, Lucicn Sanderson, x. A. Hull and George A. Pickett. The testimony of the latter gentlemen proved the most interesting of the day. Mir. Pick cit is q member of the Chatiield com puny. He deposed that the drawbridge was necessity. mnsmuch ns West river was navignble far above this point; that his company was put to great extra expense because mastpd vessels could not reach the company's dock owing to the low bridge which now spans the river, that his company did . business of from s150,00 to S200, 900 Il year, over SG0, 900 of which was done at the plant on West river, that from six teen to eighteen tons of clay and other material was used each day at the plant in question, and that it had all to be brought by way of the river.
 He further stated that he knew of two other manufacturers that would locate on the rivers bank providing a drawbridge was constructed, and that he did not see by what right the Win chester Avenue Railroad company ob- jected to the construction of the bridge and that the bridge if built would not be asked to be opened only during high tides and that traffic would not be de- layed.
 On being cross-examined MT. Pickett stated that for private reasons he could not mention the names of the manufao- turers who, he fsAaid, would locate on the rivers bank. The referee upheld him in this and informed him that he need not tell who the parties were.
 There was then some wrangling about the postponement" of the case and how evidence should be submitted. It was finally agreed by all that the hearing be adjourned until September r; that all dispositions be, made in writing, and that the arguments be prepared in manuscript form and presented to the referee after the close of the hearing, SC, that be could forward them to Wash ingtont with his 4opinion in the case. Colonel Roberts is at present, of the opinion that forty-foot draw should be built.

hoardcd their money and their gold expecting a great demand for it. They soon found that business and invest mentS were paying and they used their money as rapidly as possible. Today 5l in money is worth & in real estate or merchandise at fair prices. Enact free coinage and business, real estate and merchandise will be on a par with money and capital will be seeking la- bor instead of labor seeking employ ment, and all the money there is in the country will be put in active use at once.
 Q.-Is it a fact that gold is worth s20.67 an ounce, and silver 62 cents an ounce simply because it costs this to produce it.?
 A.-No. This argument is an in- genious fallacy. Labor is factor in the production of commodities, but money is creation of law. The stamp of the government makes money a. etfectually from paper, nickel, or cop per, as from gold and silver. Without this stamp nothing is money. Bime- tallism is an impossibility withoLt the enactment of a positive law defining the relation between gold and silver. The cost of producing the precious metals is more irregular than that of any other commodity. A single mug get weighing hundreds of pounds has been found on the earth's surface. In Virginia, at the Whitehall mine. seven men in seven days washed out Oi a gravel pit thirty feet square slS7, GOO in gold. In the mountains miners re. celyc si per day and wood is B pel cord. ln Virginia wages are Sl per day and wood si.25 per cord. 1t costs just as much now to produce an ounce of silver as when it was worth sl. 20. Miners claim that it costs g in labor to obtain sl in gold silver or lead as rule. Mining is an attractive venture and men engage in gambling, because they love the hazard.

Silver Cstechisn.
Ores < Metals.

A.-Ihat the United states mlnJ shall coin silver whenever offered, free of charge, the same as gold, and shall make the silver dollar just l6 times as heavy as the gold dollar
 Q.-When was this free coinage abandoned?
 An 1873.
 Q.-What was the result?
 A depreciation of silver bullion, or an enhanced value of gold and money.
 Q.-Why so?
 A.-At least four-fifths of our silver was used for money, and to exclude silver from four-ffths of it's former use would certainly depreciate it's com mercial value.
 Q.-Was there any occasion for thus excluding silver from coinage?
 A.--None whateyer.-Up to that date the mines of the United States produced eight times as much gold as silver. viz: sl ,23O, COG, 900 gold and sl5s,- 01,000 silver.
 e. Why, then. was it done?
 A. The English and European bankers saw that the production of silver was rapidly increasing anl would add materially to the volume of money in the world, and thus relative ly deprcciate the value of their secu- rites, and worst of all would eventual ly transfer the financial center of the world from Threadneedle street, Lon- don, to Wall street, New Yord.
 Q.-What did they do?
 A.-The bankers and financiers sent an agent to the United States who professed great wisdom in monetary matters and who succeeded in per suading the congress of the United States to exclude silver from the coin age and to adopt the single gold stand ard of England.
 Q.-Is it absolutely certain that the characterization of silver caused the commercial depreciation of silver bull lion?
 A.-As evident as cause and effect. For hundreds of years, with free coin- age of both gold and silver, there was no decline in silver bullion, and at times nine-tenths of all the coined | money in the world was silver, and now only one half of it is silver.
 Q.-Will the free coinage of silver in | the United States be restored?
 A.-Without a doubt Senator J | D. Cameron has already been nomi- | hated in the west for president in 1896 by the republicans or platform of free silver and protection. The dem- ocratic platform for the next presi- dent is almost sure to be free silver and free trade.
 Q.-What would be the effect of adopting free coinage of silver by the United States alone?
 A-Practically all the silver is pro- duced in America and it would be worth sl.29 per ounce in tle domestic currency Of the United States East efn nations could only obtain it by paying this price. There would be no use for gold abroad unless Che balance of trade vas against Us, and if pre- mium was established on foreign ex- change it would check imporlations and thus keep the balance of trade in eur favor aud gold at par
