1t appears to be the general opinion
Of sheep owners that there will be many
sheep sold this fall, says the East Oregon
ian. Wethers and wether lambs are
usually sold when there are buyers, but
this year there win probably be almost
all sold which can be disposed Of. Feed
has become scarce and the prospect Is
for shortage OF hay for the winter. Con-
sequently the effort will be to get rid Of
as many as possible. There are now too
many sheep for the amount Of range
which is available, and by diminishing
the amount OF sheep the grass will Inn
prove and not so great an effort will be
necessary to find feed for what sheep are
kept.

SPECIAL PASSPORTS.
The State Department Has Decided Ths
They Are Not to Be So Common Hereafter

The State Department Has Decided That
They Are Not to Be So Common Hereafter.
For years the granting Of special pass
ports to persons going abroad has been
abused to such an extent, and SO many
people have procured them, that the
state department has issued peremptory
orders to refuse them hereafter except
upon the special order of the secretary.
It has been customary by the war de-
partment always to request special pass
ports for any officer, no matter what his
rank may be, when going ABROAD, even
for pleasure, and up to within a few
months ago the requests were promptly
granted. When, however, a batch for a
lot Of lieutenants were requested dur
ing the summer the secretary crossed
over to Secretary Lamont's Office and
protested vigorously against this action,
so that orders have now been issued d.
recting officers Of the army to take the
same passports for which other persons
paw 81, which contain their accurate
description.
A few weeks ago Nh. Whitelaw Reid
applied for a special passport for him
self and family, and it was only with
the greatest difficulty it was secured.
These passports are handsomely engross-
ed affairs and engraved on heavy parch-
ment, and there are few instances where
a man having n with him has trouble
in getting around countries Of Europe,
which are on the lookout for anarchists,
nihilists and would be monarch killers.

A PRISON EXPERIMENT..
Massachusetts Will Try to Prevent Some o

Massachusetts Will Try to Prevent Some OF
Her Convicts From Becoming Hardened.
An experiment in the treatment Of
convicts is about to be lnauguratcd IN
the state prison of Massachusetts, at
Charlestown, which may, as expected,
be of much practical beneftin behalf Of
prison reform. 1t is something like a
return to the system Of solitary confne-
ment, although in this case the prisoner
will be allowed to decide for himself If
he desires that mode of life during the
period Of his incarceration. A convict
doing this will see no one but his keep
er, but will be given plenty Of exercise
and good, wholesome food, provided
with work and be kept in q comfortable
cell.
The evil after effects Of the present
gregarious method of keeping convlcts
will, it is believed, be prevented by the
new system. Many men who depart
from the path Of propriety and are made
to suffer for it legally 60 to prison with
a determination to reform and to lead
good lives when their sentences expire,
but they are thrown constantly into the
companionship of hardened criminals,
who will not fail to insist upon a con-
tinuance of the prison acquaintanceship
after they get out.
There are numerous instances On rec
ord where a man who has been released
from prison and endeavors to lead a re-
spectacle life is forced back into crime
by those who were companion convicts
with him and who adopt system OF
blackmail and threats to compel him to
enter into relations with them. The
Massachusetts mode will allow well dis
posed prisoners to separate themselves
from the other convicts and let them
leave their cells when freed. undismay-
ed by the fear Of meeting criminals who
know they also wore the stripes and
will take familiar advantage Of their
knowledge Star.

TRYING A BIG TELESCOPE.
Preliminary Test OF the Forty Inch Lense
For the Yerkes Observatory.

Preliminary Test OF the Forty Inch Lenses
For the Yerkes Observatory.
In Cambridge on Sunday evening
there was an experimental test of the
great 40 inch telescope now being made
for the University of Chicago by Pro
lessor G. E. Hale, the astronomer. IN
der whose dictatorship the new Yerkes
observatory Of the University Of Chi
cago will enter upon its career; a friend
of his, a rising young physicist last
connected with the Massachusetts, in
stitute of technology; MI. Clark and his
assistants. The great lenses, the largest
that the world has ever seen, each OF
them equal in diameter very nearly to
an ordinary buggy wheel, weighing
with their mountings more than 1900
pounds, were maintained in their posi-
ton high in air by a great steel tube,
So feet in length, and seeming in the
dimness of the night almost intermina-
BILE. The ponderous tube is poised mid
way upon a great shaft, which permits
free motion in every direction, and this
again is perched upon a massive pier OF
masonry capable of upholding in safety
the tons Of weight which it is called
upon to bear.
Mounting the s~tepladder which serv-
ed as a temporary observing chair, Pro
fessor Hale placed his critical eye at
the tube, and then in deliberate success
sion applied the different tests known
to astronomers. To the uneducated eye
the glass on this preliminary test was
truly at perfection, but the trained eyes
Of the experts caught points at times
whereby the delicacy of the instrument
might be increased. Then the planet
Mars came within range of the instru-
ment.
The first view of this object by Pro
fessor Hale brought forth EXPLANATIONS
Of delight, for this telescope by far ex-
ceeded in light collecting ability any
instrument which he had previously
turned upon the planet. Mars showed
itself as a great reddish yellow disk,
whose clean cut edges attested the ex-
cellence of the instrument. Its bright
ness with 40 inches Of aperture was al
most sufficient to blind the eye. and its
great disk was figured with the dark
and light markings which define its to-
biography. For an hour or more the plan
ct was kept in view, delighting every
one of the assembled group with the
splendor of the sight. Then began a
search for the satellites. These are faint
stars, visible at their best only with
good apertures, and so close to the
planet as to be hardly beyond the glare
of light which it difuses. The outer
one, Demos, was easily caught, bat
for some time Phobos, its companion,
could not be discerned. It was at last
seer by Mr.. Clark almost against the
body. of its principal, and for nearly
half an hour it was followed by the diff
ferent members of the company.
The lenses, excellent as they have
proved to be, will again be placed in
the shop, and with the knowledge gain
ed of their minor inaccuracies of figure.
they will again undergo local treatment
until they reach that high standard
which has placed the Clark glasses al
ways in the van in point Of interesting
astronomical discoyery.-Boston Tran
