THE BONDAGE or THE FOOT,

THE BONDAGE OF THE FOOT.
ouida Is said TO have the most beauti-
fully shaped feet. and IN order to pre-
serve this beauty she invariably wears
open buckied shoes. We have no means
OF knowing how beautiful are the feet
OF American women. but however perfect
their shapeliness. fashion does its best to
rob them OF those characteristics which
have made Trilby famous.

Just as belts and other articles OF dress
which environ the female form divine are
constructed with view to narrowing the
waist with little consideration for the de-
velopment OF the figure.
Men are as vain as women IN this re-
spec.. and ministering TO that weakness

divisions of these we have a choice from

detail that the surface of our satellite
may be studied to an advantage never
dreamed of hitherto
But this is by no means all The lens
of oxygen gas is necessarily far more
perfect than any glass lens can be made,
inasmuch as the particles of oxygen
under such conditions as those. de.
scribed arrange themselves in accord
ance with mathematical law. Again,
it is an accepted truth that lenses of
glass have their limitations. In Other
words, their usefulness in telescope
work does not increase indefinitely with
bigness.
The lenses made for the Lick and
Yerkes observatories represent the linI-
it Of size in glass lenses; bigger ones
could not be rendered available for prae-
teal purposes. With oxygen lenses it
is quite otherwise. Prof. Gates believes
that there is practically no limit to the
size of the oxygen lens. His discovery
will bring the whole stellar field into
comparatively near view, and the as
tronomy of the near future will be a
science enormously more ,far-reaching
and comprehensive than at present.
Think of telescope with lens 50
feet in diameter! What might not this
gigantic eye search out in the realmssof
space as yet unexplored? The topog-
raphy of Mars and the other planets
which attend the sun will become ia
miliar. II there are any people on the
Marian orb some means may be found
to communicate with them. Even far
off Jupiter may be watched as it cools
off and gets ready to support the popu-
lation which eventually doubtless will
be evolved and furnish inhabitants for
that huge world ten times the diameter
of the earth.
Prof. Gates has been making some re-
searches recently which throw light
upon the nature of the ether which is
supposed to fill adj interstellar space.
Hitherto Science has been disposed to
claim that this mysterious element, if
such 1t may be termed, was homogene-
Gus and continued everywhere-i. e,
not consisting Of distinct particles.
That they must be infinitely small goes
without saying; but the professor as
serts that they are as much smaller than
chemical atom as such an atom is
smaller than the sun. If that be so, IL
is no wonder that nobody has succeeded
as yet in finding out about the nature
and properties of ether.
However,. Prof. Gates thinks that be

THE BIGGEST LENS YET.
To Be Made of Oxygen Gas In
stead of Glass.
Wonderful Discovery Said to Have Been
Made by Prof. Gates, of Washington
Moon to BE Brought within
Few Miles,

The study of the stars is likely TO be
revolutionized by new discovery. Be
fore long telescopes will be provided
with lenses not of glass, but of oxygen
gas. They can be made of almost unlim-
tied size, so that the heavenly bodies
may beinspected at comparatively short
range. The moon will be brought within
few miles, so that every Typographical
feature of the side which it turns toward
the earth may be explored and mapped.
The problem of the so-called canals of
Mars will be solved, and if that planet
has any inhabitants the fact will be as
certained. In short, astronomical
science will leap into new era.
Such are the claims made for an inven-
ton which is the achievement of Prof.
Elmer Gates, of Washington. The be-
ginning of it was simply short piece
of iron tubing, in the ends of which
pieces of glass were set. The little
cylindrical box thus made was filed
with oxygen gas. Now it has been as
certained by Prof. Dewar that oxygen is
magnetic. He found that in a liquid
condition it could be picked up by
magnet like iron filings. Prof. Gates
turned this fact to account by convert
ing the iron tube into magnet, wind
ing it round and round with fine wire.
A'gas, of course, is composed of parti-
cles of matter which are flying about,
exercising toward each other a mutual
repulsion. Thus it will be understood
that the molecules of oxygen in the little
box were attracted toward the magnet
lied iron ring, so that the density of
the gas was less in the middle than near
the ring. Prof. Gates used the box in
place of a glass lens and made photo
graphs with it.
Here, then, says the New York World,
was the discovery-namely, that oxy-
gen gas would serve instead of glass
for lenses. Prof. Gates says that he
can build lens so feet in diameter
which will photograph the moon on
such a scale and with such accuracy Of
