ScniaDarelif.

Schiaparelli, the astronomer who first discovered ,kc so called .'canals" of Mars, did so with a much smaller tele- scope than those in use in many other observatories at that time. And yet he is very nearsighted man. Garrett F. Serviss of Brooklyn, in speaking of his first interview with the eminent Italian, said that Schiaparelli would hold a yis- itor's card within five or six inches of his eyes in order to decipher it. The sin gular part of this story is not that a man with such an infirmity should be able to outdo other astronomers, for keenness of vision depends rather upon the retina than the convexity of the lenses of the eye, and the eyepiece of 8 telescope can be focused so as to suit the latter. But it does seem little odd that the gifted scientist in question should habitually refrain from wearing eyeglasses Possibly he has theory ar to the effect of their uso upon his visual R0Wsxs-

Anti-G.A.R. Feeling in Kentucky.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: To show
the feeling in this community toward the
Grand Army of the Republic, / will make
this statement: Two years ago Hays Wat
kins Post, 81, Department. of Kentucky, to
keep green the memory of our dead COM
rades. inaugurated the practice of other
parts of the country in holding Memorial
services in one of the churches on the Sun
day before Memorial Day. We expected to
do so this year, but when 1 went to see the
different pastors, one of them said the session
of his church refused positively to let us
have the use of their church, and at the last
monthly Ministers meeting they passed q
resolution to diseountenance the practice of
having Memorial services in any of the
churches. But if the G.A.R. would get o
hall they, the Ministers, would not hold
services in their respective houses of wor-
ship, and would take part in the exercises.
There were two exceptions to this state
ment, the pastor of the Christian and the
priest in charge of the Catholic Church.
The members of the Christian Church say
their doors are open at any time to the
G. A. r. for the holding any religious meeting.
