London, May l5.-The few days which
Queen Victoria passed in town gave a
great impetus to the season. The crowds
which assembled whenever her majesty
drove out exceeded all records in point of
numbers. The queen seems remarkably
we'll and takes the greatest interest in the
preparations being made to celebrate her
diamond jubilee.
The drawing room on Tuesday last at
Buckingham Palace was the most largely
attended and the most brilliant which the
queen has held since 1887. Contrary to
Her et.ste4f- fer years past, Queen Victoria
not only received the members of the
diplomatic corps, but remained for over
an hour receiving the.general crowd. All
the Americans presented, much 60 their
delight, were personally received by the
queen and her majesty was especially
gracious to Mrs. Hay, wife of the United
States am bassador, Colonel John Hay,
and To Miss Hay.

WORK ACCOMPLISHED.
A Sixty-Two Inch Telescope Glass
Finished.

.P1TTSBURG, Pa, July 15.-The Rev.
John Peat, ID. d., the superannuatcd
Methodist clergyman, whose offer TO
the American University at Washing
ton, ID. c., to make for them the
largest rejecting telescope glass in
the world was accepted by them two
years ago today, has completed his
task and will announce to the authori-
ties of the University today that the
last delicate touch has been put upon
the perfected work.
He agreed to complete the work in
two years and did it to the day. The
glass is sixty-two inches in diameter,
5 3-S inches in thickness, and when
mounted will be the largest telescope
i'm the world. DR.. Peat believes the
glass to be optically perfect, and is
ror when silvered. He has worked
$50 hours on his task, a remarkably
short time in which to do so monu-
mental work. His inventive genius
enabled him to devise time saving de-
vices for polishing and grinding hith-
erto unknown to lens makers.
The glass in its present unsilvered
state reflects only about 10 per cent
of light, and yet the figures on a
watch dial 1000 feet away can be read
with ease. DR.. Peat has not yet been
notified by the University what inn
mediate disposition will be made of
the glass.
DR.. Peat is a remarkable man. lie
is a native of Ireland and has for
many years served the Methodist
church as a clergyman and presiding
elder. He is in his 18th year, is as
hale and active as man of 40; his
eyesight and hearing are unimpaired
and he still retains all the buoyancy
and good humor of his youth. He has
been great traveller through all lands
and chimes.
