The Lunette Souchard.

There has been introduced of late for use by tho French army, it is reported, what is known as tho lunette Souchard-that Is, a powerful binocular glass for determining the exact distance of an object from the observer. When the glass is in focus there are interposed by movement of the fin gers between the eye and the object two prisms of Iceland spar; then thore are brought into the field of vision two images, the one being the real object the other a smoky facsimile in line with and at the rear of it, the second image being more ele- vatcd as the distance Is greater. Tho ob- ject which serves for the adjustment of the glass is either soldier of ordinary stature or one on horseback. If the head of the real image reaches to the shoulder of tho facsimile he is distant just 800 meters, 80 5S inches to the meter; if to the waist of the image GOO meters; if to the knees 1000 meters; if the feet of the image ap- parently rest on the head of the soldier the distance Is exactly l, 400 meters; if there Is q space between the feet of the one and the head of tho other tho distance can only bo approximately determined.

MISS CLARK FOUND.
The Missing Schoolteacher Was Working
 as n Servant at Fitchburg, Mass.

Servant at Fitchburg. Mass.
 SYRACUSE, Aug. 27.-Miss Lucretia Clark, the schoolteacher who mysterious ly disappeared from her home in Plain field, N. J., about three weeks ago, has been restored to her friends here. She was found yesterday by relative in the house of Mayor Charles $. Hayden, 2S Holt street. Fitchburg, Mass, where she had taken O place as housemaid under the name of Mary Burke. It is feared that her mind is unbalanced.
 The way Miss Clark found her way to MT. Hayden's house is very strange. She remembers nothing from the time she took the train in Plainfield until she found herself pricing furniture in Macy's store in New York city. She has a hay re- memberance of going to Fall River boat bound for Boston, but why or when she got there she cannot explain.
 Expert medical aid will be employed and everything possible done to restore her to mental health. Physically there is no perceptible change in her save for the peculiar look of her eyes that bespeaks the deranged mind.
 Miss Clark disappeared from Plainfleld, N. J., Aug. 9, about s o'clock in the morning. She had leased school build ing there and had made extensive ar engagements ro open a young ladies school.
 Miss Clark ts highly educated woman, with good family connections. She has means and was for some time teacher in Miss Baird's fashionable school for girls in Norwalk Conn.

The Big Parade.

BOSTON, Aug. 2S.-Seven hundred and fifty thousand people saw the parade of over 25, 900 Knights Templars today, and with one accord pronounced 1t the grand est pageant ever seen in Boston. People were everywhere-in the streets, in the sidewalks on the roofs of buildings and street cars, clinging to tops of telegraph poles, whenever the vigilance of the police and linemen was relaxed for a moment, in wagons and drays filled with seats in the side streets and on hundreds of grand stands large and small, along the route.
 Never in the history of ancient Boston has a greater host of strangers crowded within the city's gates, and for many years the spectacle of today will be the precedent with which great gatherings in New England will be compared. It was a good natured crowd, and, considering its size, was well handled.
 The leading division of the pageant, preceded by platoons of Boston's sturdy policemen, was very imposing. The 150 aids, under command of Chief Marshal Right Eminent Sir Knight Samuel c. Lawrence were all mounted on handsome horses, and with their bright trappings and new uniforms made a brilliant dis play.
 The division which was led by Right Eminent Sir Samuel C. Lawrence, grand commander of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, as chief marshal, with Right Emi- nent Sir Charles c. Fry as his chief of staff and 54 of the most prominent knights of the Boston commandery as aids, included the representatives of the | grand communicates of the United States, as escort to the grand marshal, with 93 | aids from the more prominent command cries of America; the Boston command cry, with Sir Eugene A. Houlton, past
 commander, as chief of division and Emi- nent Sir Frederick Comee As chief of staff, 1 with eight aids; the Detroit command
 cry, Eminent Sir Arba M. Seymour com
 mander, as special escort to the Most Emi-
 ncnt Grand Master Hugh McCurdy; the
 officers of the grand encampment in car
 riages; the members of tho grand encamp- | ment in carriages. There is competition of the most lively
 sort between the Pittsburg and Philadel- phia communicates to secure the triennial
 conclave in 1898. The claims of each city
 are being presented with a pleasant yet
 unceasing energy on both sides. Pittsburg
 rooters are to be found everywhere where
 there is likely to be gathering of Knights
 Templars and are extolling their city for | all it is worth

Sash weichts.

Tho ingenuity of man in converting the useless odds and ends of industry into ar ticles of convenience and utility Is shown to advantage in the ordinary window sash weights. Without these housckeepcr's s life would be burden, but few have any idea ofthe materials of which the weight is composed. The one quality on which it's utility is based Is weight, and almost ey- cry metal that cannot be used in any other fashion finds Its way into the sash weight.

lNMAN'S FATE.

 and Gone to the Bottom.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-Robert W. h. man, Jr., who jumped overheard from his yackt Adelaide when she collided with the steamer Perseus of the Iron Steamboat company at 7:30 o'clock on Monday night of Norton's point, in all human probabil- itv sank within few minutes and was drowned. B. $. Clark, his partner, offered a reward of $500 for the recovery of his body and chartered a steam launch to go out and look for it. There are certain friends of MT. Inman, who was rather an eccentric man, who think that he got ashore and concealed tho fact that he had survived, but there does not seem to be the slightest basis for such a theory.
 The main facts of the collision are that the persons who were on the yacht Ade- laide lost their presence of mind and leap ed into the water when they should have remained where they were, and that the Perseus is not adequately equipped to save human life The Adelaide, which was reported by the panic stricken survivors as having been stove in and as being in a sinking condition sustained hardly any damuup whnfpyer
