some pains to plan out the most feasible
method of mounting such colossal
tubes, the weight of which would prob
ably be about fifty tons. He agrees
with Mr.. Common in thinking that
they can be most easily moved II
f1oated in tanks of water, thus tightening
the friction that would wear away the axes
if unrelieved. They should be deeply sub
merged, and round the upper opening sew
eral receptacles for eyepieces should be
formed, so that the observer could find a
convenient eyepiece at every side OF the
Newtonian tube. A refracting telescope
forty-eight inches in diameter and 200 feet
in length is actually in course of construc-
ton at Paris. M. Mantois. the enterprising
optician, asserts that pressure of time is the
only reason that still larger aperture was
not undertaken. Whether these enor-
nous telescopes that seem to defy ex-
perience will have any value from an
astronomical point of view or any special
function in observation yet unfulfilled is
knowledge that will come with the coming
century.
The captivation that lies in the study of
things that are seen but still are non-ter-
restrial is such that one CLEAN of knowl-
edge gained repays any amount of striving
or expenditure. If the CLEAN be very
faint there is no repining, but hopefully
and cheerfully comes redoubled striving
and expenditure. 1t seems to be the ideal
investment where gain goes on forever.
All the results of lofty aim and genius
combined are still but the slow coming to
light of natures treasures gradually un-
earthed in the natural process of develop
ment. "O'er that art" sis an art
which nature makes" Onr planet itself,
by it's rounded form and motions giving
successive views of heavens expanse, is
an observatory whose special functions
can never be superseded.

ocean depths the marvels of the southern
heavens were cleaning unnoticcd and un-
known. In the British Isles the use of
the reflector has been more favored than
elsewhere.
Even when it had been discovered that
the intrusive colors could be nearly elimi-
mated in the construction of the refracting
lens the reflector was often preferred, for
the furnishing of the mirror was not
lrremediable, and the effect of spherical
alteration was not considered to be very
noticeable defect
In 1874 Lord Rosse constructed levia-
than reflector six feet in diameter. Like
the great refractors it had its own domain
and brought many CLEANS of light from
the seeming voids that fully repaid the
thought and care and expense of its con-
struction. We hear little of it now, as the
general observations of the Observatory of
Birr Castle, Ireland, have been carried on
with three-foot reflector and other smaller
instruments; but a famous optician re-
Gently asserted that if 1t were repolished
and mounted with the accuracy demanded
by modern work it would prove mag

sphere of the reflector.
If there had been anv danger of its dis
appearing from view, that danger is passed
and its future is assured.
The Photographic plate being selective
as to color, the colorless image produced
by the reflector will always yield truer de-
tails than the more or less tinted image of
the refractor.
The Astro- Photographic Congress of 1887
selected the latter to ensure uniformity in
the charting of the heavens, and as a
needed concession to the general inapti-
tude and lack of patience in managing the
reflector.
Messrs. Roberts and Common, who have
always practically upheld its merits, ad
mitted, however, that it required thorough
skill as to its requirements to obtain the
best results. Though during the forty

Death Of j. w. Brooks,

At an early hour this morning, Mr..
j. W. Brooks, afamiliar figure on our
streets, closed his eyes on the cares of
this world and passed over the river to
the mystic land beyond.
Mr.. Brooks was an old pioneer of
the Pacific Coast. He was one of the
stream of adventurous youth that
braved the perils of a trip across the
plains in the early days. He was an
early settler in Oregon and helped to
subdue the Indians of that prosper
Gus State. He also teamed in Idaho
years ago. During the White Pine
eXc1t ement he ran freight teams from
Elko to that Ell Dor ado. For the last
eight or ten years he has been a resi-
dent of Elko, and since the 18th of
April, 1891, has been in the employ
of Payne & Miller at their lumber
yard, driving the delivery team, load
ing lumber and generally overseeing
the work about the yard.
III VhAo SupaSlty, uC WIS UIS IlOSU
faithful and honest of men. Mr.. Mil
Ter, the manager of the yard, has left
MIR. Brooks in charge of the yard for
weeks at a time and on his return
would find everything attended to as
faithfully and honestly as if he had
done the work himself.
| The deceased leaves no relatives in
this part is the country to mourn his
loss. A sister residing in Ohio or H.
hnois and son whose residence no
one here knows are his only known
relatives. In regard to his family
and relatives he was peculiar, never
telling anyone about them, and when
his family affairs we're preached he
always refused to give any informa,
ton.
The funeral will take place to.mor.
row afternoon at 2 2 o'clock from the
Presbyterian church and his remains
will be laid away in the Odd Fellows
cemetery.
Goodbye, faithful friend, and hon
est man May you sweetly sleep un-
til the resurrection morn.
