Bayard's Critic. RidIculed.

LONDON, Feb. "A number Of the
morning papers contain comments upon
the correspondence which passed between
President Cleveland and Secretary Olney
and Ambassadors Bayard regarding the
speeches for which the house of represen.
tatives proposes to censure him, and which
were given To the press for publication In
this mornings papers. The Standard
says: A perusnl OF the correspondence OF
President Cleveland. and Secretary OlneY
with MIR. Bayard does not increase the ad
miration for the methods and byways oil
American politics. There is n painful
want of dignity in the manner In which
Mr.. Bayard's official critics display theii
resentment. The Daily News says: by
publishing the correspondence Mr.. Bayard
shows that he Is rs fearless as his ancient
namesakc. and most persons reading II
with candor will be disposed 20 think chat
he is almost equally without reproaches.
Still, IL is advisable that he should not do

Sacred Landmark DESTROYED.

Boston, Feb. 4-Tottering walls and
charred ruins now crown the summit CT
Meeting House Hill, the sito of one OF the
landmarks of Boston and one OF the oldest
churches In America, the First Parish
Unitarian church. Early yesterday morn
ing the church was entirely destroyed by
fire, which started from tho furnace. Five
fremen were injured, two of them quite
seriously. The loss of the church itself Is
total, but the building is SO old that IL Is
hard TO say just what the value was.
When the church was built in 1916 1t cost
$4,000. There Is insurance on 1t to the
amount of S20, 900.

Lively Times Ahead.

FRANKFoRT, KY, Feb. 4.-Politicians
are looking for lively times here during
the week, as Senator Ogilvie (Dem.) has
arrived, and Beckman (Dem.) who was
elected Saturday in Nelson county to sue
coed Wilson, deceased, is also here. This
makes the assembly again a tie on joint
ballot, and It Is thought the Republicans
will report and act favorably on the con-
tests of Dunlap, from Lexington, and
Werner, unseating two Democrats, and
thus elect Congressman Hunter to the
senatorship. to sucreed Black burn.

LOSS IN OUR CUBAN COMMERCE.
1t Threatened to Embarrass Our Treas
ury.
(From Harper's Weekly.)

The war in Cuba Is now threatening
and pecuniary loss. There is some doubt
as to the truth of the stories of outrages
by the Spanish military authorities
which some of the newspaper correspond
ents have been sending from Havana,
because it is evident that the stories come
witnesses may convince the correspond
ents, their evidence is not sufficient to
determine the action of the government
in a grave international affair. But
there is no doubt whatever as to the gen.
eral and eventual effect of the war on
income Of the government. Our COM
merce with the island ranges in values
of exports and imports from $50, 600, 900
to 500, 600, 900 year. Our imports alone
for 1895 were valued at $53, 600. 900 while
the public reven ues derived from sugar
same year amounted to more than $50,
90, 600. This revenue derived from Cuban
imports is therefore of the utmost impor-
anoe to this country. The loss of part
of it has already added to the deficiency
which the secretary of the treasury will
be obliged to report at the end of the cur
rent fiscal year. and the entire loss of 1t
in the next year, unless other dutiable
imports greatly increase, will seriously
embarrass the treasury.
The war itself has greatly damaged our
commerce with Cuba. The manner in
which it is carried on is menaoing not
only the revenues of the government, but
the business interests of many of It's citi-
zens. Both insurgents and Spaniards
are warning on the commerce of the
United States. The insurgents are burn
Ing sugar plantations or preventing the
grinding of cane, while Gen. Weyler has
made direct war by prohibiting the ex-
portation of tobacco from Ouba This
order went so far as to forbid the expor-
tation of tobacco already con ira oted 70
by dealers and manufacturers in this
country; but the Spanish government,
on representations from the state depart
ment, has directed Gen. Weyler to so
modify his order that it will apply only
to shipments on contracts to be made
after the issue of the decree.
There is abundant cause in this Direct
and indirect war upon our commerce for
the intervention of the government 1t
is not, indeed, cause for declaring bel
ligerenoy or independence, or for making
war on Spain, but for suggesting peace
and offering friendly interference with
the object of effecting reconciliation on
the basis of the reforms which the que en-
regent has promised in her recent speech
to the Spanish Cortes.

With oxygen lsrse~ 1T is quite otherwise.

With oxygen leEses 1t is quite otherwise.
Prof. Gates believes that there is prac-
tioally no limit to the size Of oxygen
lens. His discovery will bging the whole
stellar flelc into comparatively near
view, and the astronomy Of the near flu
ture will be a science enormously more
far reaching and comprehensive than at
present. Think of telescope with a
lens 80 feet in diameter What might
not this gigantic eye search out in the
realms of space as yet unexplored? The
topography of Mars and the other planets
which attend the sun will become fam il
lar. II there are any people on the Mar
tian orb, some means may be found to
communicate with them. Even far off
Jupiter may be watched, as it oools off
and gets ready to support the population
which eve tually doubtless will be
evolved and furnish Inhabitants for that
huge world 10 times the diameter of the
earth.

LENSES MADE OF OXYGEN.
A Wonderful Improvement Upon Those
Made of Glass.
Washington Letter in Philadelphia
Times.)


Times.)
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 unlimited
size, so that the heavenly bodies may be
inspected at comparatively short range.
The moon will be brought within few
ure 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 inha bitants, the fact will be as
oeI tanned. In short, astronomical sci.
ence will leap into new era.
Such are the claims made for On in
vention which is the achievement of
Prof. Elmer Gates. The beginning of 1t
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 asoeratined by Prof. Dewar TINT
oxygen is magnetic. He found that in a
liquid condition 1t could be picked up by
% magnet like iron filings. Prof. Gates
turned this fact to account by converting
the iron tube into magnet, winding it
round and round with fine wire.
A gas, of course, is composed of parti-
Giles of matter which are flying about,
exercising towards each other a mutual
repuls1on. Thus it will be understood
chat the molecules of oxygen in the little
box were attracted toward the magne-
tized iron ring, 80 that the density of
the gas was less in the middle than near
the ring. Prof. Gates used the box in
place of glass lens and made photo
graphs with 1t. Here then was the dis
covery, namely, that oxygen gas would
serve instead Of glass as material for
lenses Prof. Gates says that he can
build a lens 80 feet in diameter which
will photograph the moon on such a
scale and7with such accuracy of detail
TINT tlse 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 necessarily is far more
perfect than any glass lens can be made.
inasmuoh as the particles of oxygen un-
der such conditions as those described
arrange themselves in accordance with
mathematical law. Again, it is an &C.
oepted truth that lenses of glass have
their limitations In other words. THAR
usefulness in telescope work docs not
increase indefinitely with bignsss. The
lenses made for the Lick and Yerkes Oh
servatories represent the limit of size in
glass lenses; bigger ones could not be
rendered. available for practical purposes.
