LENS OF THE YERKES' TELESCOPE.

shipped here. 1t will not be sent in an
ordinary freight car, but in specially
chartered palace car, where, during the
entire journey, it will be watched over
by Mr. Clark, in whose shop it was
ground, and a body of skilled workmen
and several Well-knOWn astronomers. This
lens is four inches larger than that of the
Lick telescope, and when it is in position
it is expected that wonderful discov cries
will be made, especially in regard to Mars
and its canals.
The cost of the glass has been enor-
nous. When it came from Paris in the
rough 10000 had already been eXpend-
ed upon it. 1t is estimated that the grind
ing and polishing will cost as much more.
Several hundred thousand dollars have
been expended upon the grounds and
buildings for the new observatory with
it's numerous Instruments and the elabor-
ate and enormous brass tube for the
great telescope. Besides this an endow-
ment was made to supply a permanent
fund for the maintenance of the insti-
tuition. The crown glass is about three
inches thick in the middle and one and a
quarter at the outer edge. The two pieces
of the lens weigh together 1900 pounds.
In spite of their great size they are eX-
tremely fragile and require the utmost
care in handling.
Prof. George Yale of the Chicago uni
versity, director of the Yerkes observa-
tory, has a cottage at Congress club on
Geneva lake for the summer. He will
erect small telescope on w. S. Harbert's
Conservatory Hill' for conducting his
astronomical work until the Yerkes tele-
scope is in place.

Commerce street lumber district last

coal in stock and at the dock was the
steamer Raleigh of Detroit with coal
cargo. The plant of the Brodesser Man
ufacturing company, the Schlitz Brew
ing company's barns and the Gallun
tannery We're among the adjoining places
badly damaged. At one time it looked
as though the Schlitz brewery was
doomed. but detail of firemen succeed
ed in protecting it. A general alarm
had been turned in and it took two
hours hard fighting by the entire fire
department to check the flames. The
total loss. including the damage to the
steamer Raleigh, is estimated at less
than 100000

HOMESTEADERS DEFEATED.
Col. knight Talks About His Famous
Land Case Decision.

Land Case Decision.
Ashland, Wis, June 6.I[Special i
The reversal of the Ashland land cases
by the United States Supreme court is of
great Importance to the Wisconsin Cen
trail, for it finally disposes Of questions
relating to the Centrals land interest in
Northern Wisconsin. Some of these
city limits, and are valued at 100000
and over. The issue involved, concisely,
was that the grants of the Wisconsin
Central and Omaha overlapped each
other. The two companies attempted to
fix the matter up between them, but
were prevented by the interior depart
ment. The Omaha grant came first, then
the Central. The Omaha accepted it's
moiety, and the lower court decided that
the lands claimed by the Central, went
back to the government, and on the
strength of this decision they were oc-
cupied by settlers.
"The decision confirms the Central S
title" said Col. Knight in an interview.
Il purchased the lands of the Central,
and a number of people claimed that
the Central had never earned the lands,
and they homesteaded it. Some of the
parties to whom I had sold, took this
view, and brought suit to recover pur-
chase money, but the Supreme court de,
csion wipes these out now. l warned
certain parties in Ashland last fall not to
log on these lands pending the decision OF
the court. l told them that if they did,
and we won, we would seize their logs.
This will be done at once.
Col. Knight purchased the lands about
ten years ago, and a number OF Ashland-
ers homesteaded them in December, 80,
or January, 1890 Their outlay OF time
and money must be considerable.
