Astronomers have hitherto held fast
to the dogma that the objective lens Of
a telescope must consist of one piece.
Mr.. L. Gathmann of Chicago has, how
ever, built inch telescope, the object
lens of which consists of seven large
circular pieces of glass, one in the cen
ter and six arranged in circle about it
and six smaller disks at the outer an
giles. These pieces, together with the
intervening Opaque substance, are of
course so ground on the surface as to
form one complete lens, and the trans
parent segments, therefore, all focus at
one point
Many astronomers who have inspected
it have marveled at tho distinctness
with which it magnifies the heavenly
bodies. The great gain comes from the
better quality of glass that is used. As
everybody knows, the limit has now
been reached in the casting of mass OF
glass for telescope lenses, because, the
surface cooling and solidifying first,
bubbles or other imperfections remain
in the interior This difficulty is re-
moved by selecting small portions of
perfect glass and building up the lens
by segments on the Gathmann plan.
The use Of lead TO strengthen or tougher
the glass in large lenses is also obyiated.
and much more transparent quality
of glass is thus obtained. -lndustria.

One Respect In which Oklahoma Hotel
Keepers Are Up 10 Date,
The hotels of Oklahoma up to last fall
were few and far between. Having tried
several with little satisfaction, party
of hungry "tenderfeet" was directed by
commercial traveller to little place
on a corner The commercial man said
it did not look inviting, but it was clean
That was an inducement the party had
not heard of in that section, and 1t
turned in for supper The dining room
was one in which the family lived. A
folding bed stood in one corner. An old
time bureau was opposite. A box stove
was in the way, and about 1t were
several old fashioned rockers. A few
family pictures hung from the wall,
with the old. old motto, invoking the
blessing of the powers celestial on the
household. The party asked for supper
and was told to be seated until the meal
was prepared. Two girls, delicate and
with much WEAKNESS in their faces
spread the table. When the meal wal
brought on, they simply said, Supper |:
ready" and disappeared.
The party gathered about the meal
and it was agreeably disappointing
While it was being devoured-that is tn,
oest word to use, even at this distance
from the table-the two girls came into
the room, accompanied by their mother
a woman whose hair was white ant
whose face was a study. There mus
have been time when she was beauti
full. They came in as if they had beer
billed for the occasion. They went t.
one corner of the room. and then TIN
party discovered that there was one o
those old time melodeons in an out of tn
way place The mother took her plac
at the keys, and as the mournful melo
dies responded to her touch the daugh
ters sang, Nearer My God to Thee,
