A. p. A. LEADER ASSAULTED
Mem bers of the Order In Kansas City
Greatly Excited.

Kansas City, No, Sept. IL. Rev. ]. a.
Dearborn, exState president of the a. I.
A, was found lying in yard in the rear
of j. S. Stones confe ectionery store, No.
1921 East Ninth street. at o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Dearborn had been struck
over the right eye with heavy blunt
instrument and had been stabbed, but only
slightly, three times in the left side, just
over and above the heart.
The assault occurred about IL O'Clock
last night but the injured man was not
found until 3 o'clock this morning. Al
though none of the wounds are serious,
the attending physicians fear that posi-
bly, the exposure may make the case
serious one.
The news OF the assault spread like wild
fire through the city. The members Of
the A. p. A. passed it from lip to lip with
startling Tapidity, and soon intense excite
ment had been aroused.
Not only were members OF the order
highly excited, but politicians generally,
and especially Republicans, ON account OF
to1ay's primaries. eagerly sought reliable
information. The excitement was largely
caused a;d greatly added TO by the claims
Of the A st.. 2. A, made even before any OF
the details were known, that it was an
.assassina tion' or an attempted "assas-
siDatiun.''

The principle of optics involved is
this: In looking into a telescope, the
eyes are fixed not upon the lens but up
on the point where the incoming rays
of light are focused.
The Importance of the invention of
the sectional lens will be the better real

dous difficulty of making a very large
lens. The object glass of the. telescope
in Lick observatory is SO inches in diam
eter, and it took months and months of
work, months and months of repeated
failure to get proper results. The
Yerkes telescope has 40-inch lens, the

tions exercised, with the thousands and
thousands of dollars spent on the work.

Which Might Be Made with Free Silver
Advocates.
Silver is now worth about so cents an
ounce. The silver bullion in a dollar
lis worth about 81 cents. Free silver
coinage would raise the price of silver
ito 129 cents an ounce, and the silver in
ian American dollar would be worth one
dollar in gold the world over even with
out a government stamp on it."--Ex-
congressman II. P. Bland in Y. Y.
World of July l, 1896,

willing to back his opinion with money,
and who wUuld have anything to lose

Second-That, the price q silserwin

Third-That the price OF silver VIII
Ibe less then so cents per ounce when a
free coinage act has been in effect six

| Fourth-That at no time within one

If you cannot get gwen bets, give odds.
The price of silVerss determined main
ly by the cost of production. All the
silver the world can use can be produced
at less than rs and probably less than
20 cents per ounce. No legislation can
raise, except for a short time, the price
of silver. 1t is to be hoped that we will

AS the slightest blister or other ir-
regularity necessitates a new pouring
the difficulty of thatcperationin increases
greatly with the size of the mold. but
it is primarily the danger attendant
upon the cooling process that has set an
absolute limit to the size. The surface
of the glass cools and contracts rapidly,
while the mass within is still hot and
presses outward. Though months are
allow ed for the glass to cool, a disloca-
tion of atoms, with consequent uneven
density and uncertain clearness cannot
be prevented. The error becomes so
appalling in objectives of over 30inches
that there are some who claim that the
largest glasses are no longer the best for
all purposes; that the anomalous size
of 40 inches has more drawbacks than
advantages. The statement is empha-
sized by the fact that the largest glasses
are absolutely unreliable in very cold
weather. The frame of the objective
remains comparatively rigid while the
glass tends to contract resulting in an
uttSI IlOl VI ullc lOcuS.
The sectional lens, being composed of
pieces from two to five inches in diam
eter, obviates the dangers of pouring
and cooling, and minimizes the element
of unreliability. The frame into which
the sections are put is made of compo-
sition similar to type metal, which is

can be only one-tenth as great as in

Mr.. Gathman has built a telescope
with a seven-inch sectional lens at his
private observatory in Chicago. The
instrument is working admirably, and
is said to be the equal of the telescope at
the Northwestern university, which has
fine objective of 1Sh inches. Gath
mann has become wealthy through sew
eral other successful inventions, not
ably submarine torpedo boat, the
plans of which have been adopted by the
German navy. He expects to use part
of his money in building u telescope
with a Go-inch objective. If sufficient
capital is provided, he will at once VEN
ture upon the making of n lens twice
that diameter. According to the claims
OF the inventor, n sectional lens of 30
inches will be twice as clear, and there
fore twice as powerful as single-g1ass
lens of the same size. Moreover, as
the difficulty of making large molds is
removed, it will be much easier to make
q sectional lens of 100 or 120 inches, than
a single lens, like that of the Yerkes
telescope. As the power of lens va

eter, tho sectional lens of 100 inches
would La twice as clear and admit nine
times as much light as the Yerkes lensa
that is, it would be IS times as power
full. The tremendous power of such
q glass can hardly be conceived at
first thought. With the best telescopes
now In existence, the moon is still 90
miles distant. But the instrument, as
calculated would bring the satellite to
3,h miles range. Thtnleof standing on
mountain and hooking into valley
three miles from your eye; then you
will understand how themoor will look
through the new telescope.
But this is not all. The ogfSy reason
for setting limit of 12O inches il that
the instruments fur grinding noN in
use could not well handle larger sur
face. Mr.. Gathmann himself is now
working ON new grinding machine,
with which he hopes 10 be able to make
a lens of almost any size. Be that as
it may, there can be no doubt that an
improved grinder will soon be invented
after the sectional lens has been intro
duced into science and demands the APP
pliance. There is no reason for an alb
solute mechanical limit to the capacity
of the grinder, as is the case with the
glass mold.
Imagine lens $50 or 300 or 500 inches
in diameter! There is no reason why
one should not be Inade before the next
century begins. With such an instru-
ment the moon would be a few blocks
away. Mars could be brought so close
that we could see the cities; the peo-
pie walking about; the mysterious
"spots" on the sun may be studied as
though we had them under micro
scope; stars, millions and billions of
stars away off in an infinity that we had
never dreamt of peeping into, will be
marked on the astronomers chart; in
deed, If the making of telescopes does
notpresentsome new difficulty, that sets
another limit to size, the most ram
bling fancy could not overshoot the
mark in its speculations.
The possibilities, logical as they are,
seem almost too grand to believe. But
we laymen can only sit and wait, and
, admit that this is an age of wonders.
