The Telescope Of the Future.

What the telescope Of the future caa
do may be partly learned from com.
parative survey of its past history aud
progress. When Galileo, in the early
part of the Seventeenth Century, showed
his first telescope, which magniied only
three diameters, to the astonished
authorities of Venice, little did they
dream of the possibility OF the Lick re.
tractor Of to-day. Galileo's first instru.
ment was similar in construction to the
ordinary opera glass. 1t was no more
powerful, and was far less perfect. In
TACT, it consisted merely of two single
concave. Even his last and best tele.
scope, magnifying thirty diameters, was
much inferior to some of our spy glasses.
But even with this small instrumental
equipment a new world was unveiled.
He saw the spots on the sun, the phases
of VeEus, the mountains of the moon,
the satellites of Jupiter, the rings OF
Saturn, and thrust back the barriers OF
the steller world. 1t mag be remarked
that there are two general classes OF
telescopes, the refracting and the re-
fecting. Much success has been attained
by the Herchels, Lassell and others in
the construction of rejecting telescopes,
but the refractor has proved itself the
superior. The refracting telescope is
composed of two principal parts, the OBJ.
ject glass and the eye glass. The object
glass has a general convexity of form,
aud its purpose is to collect light from
the object and bring it to focus near
the eye glass, where it forms bright
image. The eye glass, in its turn, mag.
mites this image and renders it visible to
the eye on an enlarged scale. But in
order to enlarge the image we must col.
lect considerable light, and the more we
or spread out this image the
more light we must collect to render it
visible, and consequently the greater
object glass or light-collector, we must
have. Hence it was that simultaneously
with the first telescopes arose the desire
to get more light in order to obtain a
greater magnifcation.

Military Cycling.

Recently q few soldiers from Fort
Sheridan, in command of Lieutenant
Hunt, the detachment having had very
little experience in riding, went to Pull
man, Just from curiosity to see how soon
they could make the march from Pull
man to Chicago, a distance Of fifteen
miles, states General Miles. They started
in the morning with their full equip.
ment, the same as men fitted for a cam.
paign, in regular marching order. They
made the distance, as am informed by
the officer, in one hour and twenty five
minutes marching time. They were in.
structed to stsr: early in the morning
and arrive between nine and ten. In
order not to be delayed they were di-
rected to start early, and instructed
the officer that if he found that he was
coming in ahead Of time he could stop
and rest at any place he wished. He
rested quite long time, and covered
the distance, as say, in the marching
time of one hour and twenty-five min
utes. The ordinary time of marching
over the same distance, equipped as they
were with their rifles and full equip
ment, would have been at least five
hours. I asked the officer how the de-
tachment stood the march, and he said
they we're very little fatigued, and
would have turned around and gone
back over the ground again with pleas

Noting Each Others Faults.

Once upon time man and his
wife agreed to write down the faults
they saw IN each other and read them
carefully. with a view toself-improve-
ment. They were to be handed to each
other at the same time. So one
morning before leaving the house the
husband handed his wife bulky
envelope and in return received Il
little sheet of note paper. ''Of
course" read the wife after the hus-
band had gone, 'you have some
faults, and would really take it as a
token Of your love for me if you would
try to correct them. l notice that you
never wash the dishcloth out when
you are through the dishes, and that
you use one towel for everything, in
stead of a separate one for the silver,
the glass, and the china ware. as my
mother did. Occasionally 1 come
home and find you with your hair in
carl papers. The girl 1 used to go
with before l met you would never
show herself to any one unless her
hair was frizzed. You are probably
as good as the average wife, but 1
hope you will try to correct these
faults, as we'll as Others 1 will speak
about next time" When the hus-
band reached the Office he untwisted
the little note in his hand and read
the following: 81 love you, John.
If you have any faults l do not
know what they can be.
You have never shown any faults
to me-" The woman was a great big
storyteller. She knew her husband
had faults, but sought to please him
by saying he had none.-Atchison

Chcap Gas in ENGLAND.

Statistics regarding the manufac-
ture and sale Of gas In England show
that in the year 1889 the public
works sold gas at 81 cents.
A profit of 224 cents was made on the
gas at these figures as shown by the
statistics in British reports, after in
terest and sinking fund were paid.
The re are 173 public gds works owned
in Great Britain, and the average
cost to the public OF the gas manu-
factured is really only 59s cents, in
Guiding interest and sinking fund.
A lower price OF gas increases the
number OF consumers very greatly in
England, although the difference in
cost is as 60 to so in favor of the
public gas companies The statistics
show that 405 private gas companies
only have an average of 2,1S1 Gus
toners for each. The public works
have an average number Of consum-
ers each Of E, 646. The English sta.
tistics are conc usive. as showing the
advantage OF public ownership OF

"How long do you think this will

the latter.
"Not long-possibly not five min

"Let me hide my face on yoll

conducted herself like a heroine till

"My poor darling" he answered,
tenderly clasping her in his arms.
"How little we thought of this few

Ten minutes went by. The wind
still blew with violence. Now and
then a gigantic wave came IN toward
the ship, its vast point rising over all
around, towering higher as it ap.

threatening to be the last. Suddenly

clark! Did you not hear "a human
voice?" she cried.
The Captain listened but could
hear nothing. Raising his hand tc
his mouth he shouted,-
"Hel-lo-o! Hello!"
"Ahoy!" came family up the wind.
"Hillo! Hillo." shouted the Cap
tain again.
"Ahoy-ahOy!" came back in reply,
clearly and distinctly There was no
longer any doubt. Help was at hand.
''God be praised!" said the Captain.
"a life-boat is coming to take US of. Z"
"You are saved, my darling!" ex-
claimed Mr.. Hazelton, embracing his
daughter.
Mary said nothing; but her lips
moved in silent Thanksgiving.
The boat soon came in sight. Gra-
ham stood we'll forward, directing his
men and shouting words Of encour-
agement to the people he had come
to save, and in few moments, gain
ing courage from his example, all
were safe on board, although the
transfer was made with no little diff
flculty and danger.
What was the astoniShment of
young Hazelton when he found it was
his own sister and father who had
been rescued! His heart smote him
as he remembered that but for Gra-
hams persistence he would have re-
mained on shore.
With difficulty the life-bOat reached
land; no craft less buoyant could have
survived that night; but it seemed as
though Providence rewarded the gal
lant crew by bringing them safely
home again.
One more item and our story is told.
Love, says the old adage, often
springs from gratitude; it must have
been so in this case, for barely a
twelvemonth after Roy Graham and
Mary Hazelton became husband and
wife; and they are the happiest pair

Some of the revelations of the cen.

For instance there are now more than
half a million almond trees actually
bearing in the United States; there
are hundreds of thousands of bearing
cocoanut trees; there are more than a
quarter of million olive trees; pro.
ducing fruit equal to the best Medi-
terranean varieties. There are
more than half a million bearing ba-
mana plants, 200, 900 bearing lemon
trees, 1000, 900 orange trees, and 81, =
600, 900 pine-apples. And the value

Gas for Steam.

It is said that gas bids fair to super.
sede all other fuel for making steam.
at least in stationary engines. The
system has been at work in a large
establishment in London, and the re-
suits obtained are simply astounding.
Burning about 300 cubic feet of gas
per hour under thirty foot boiler,
steam is said to have been raised to
fifty pounds pressure in forty min
utes. Gas and air supplied under
pressure to pipes that run parallel
with and under the boiler, and furn-
aces and chimneys are dispensed
