Lick in Some Particulars.
Ore of the most imposing objects TO
be seen at the recent Berlin exposition

ing ii telescope of gigantic dimensions
and of extraordinary shape. AS rule,
an observatory is circular building
covered in by hemispherical dome.
which can be oi,ened and swung around
to any part of the heavens. In the new
form of observatory this type of build
ing is absent. ard it could scarcely be
recognized as an observatory. Proceed
ing by flight of steps, large platform
was reached, at the east end of which
was found the observatory and tel
escope, all in one, and Enclosed in
tube like gigantic stovepipe.
Like most great telescopes, the Berlin
instrument is a refractor, and the
mounting equatorial. The main diff
Guilty in constructing n large modern
telescope lies in the glass. Enormous
difficulties have to be encountered in
order to obtain pure glass without
flaw. In this respect the greatest sue
cess has been attained by Messrs. Alvin
Clark, of Boston, who constructed the
telescope for the Lick observatory in
California. The lens in this wonderful
instrument is 80 inches in diameter and
without a flaw. In his famous works at
Jena DR.. Schott has managed to cast
a piece of glass which comes very near
the dimensions of the Lick glass. There
are two lenses-one of flint glass, the
other of crown glass. They were pol
ished by Steinheil, in Munich, and each
has diameter of something over IS
inches.
When the telescope is in the vertical
position the achromatic object glass is
liz feet from the ground. a perfect I'M
age of the sun, over eight inches ir
diameter. can be obtained, and by suit
able lenses in the eyepiece the image
can be magnified 1000 to 1900 diam
eters. In this respect Archenold's tel
escope surpasses all others The length
of the tube offers a disadvantage, in
asmuch as it must interfere with the
rigidity of the instrument. and this is a
most important defect of all great tel
escapes. Still. the gigantic mountings
of the instrument will minimize this
error TO a great extent. The telescope
is worked by electrical appliances with
extreme precision. and we may look for
some startling new discoveries. which
will rival the wonderful results got at
the Lick observatory. If it succeeds in
this respect one may forgive the I'M
slightly form of the latest development

ments, has tried much more subtle
scheme, which promises to be much
moro successful. They have put on
board this ship 4 young woman, who
has gained 4 reputation fer learning
secrets not intended for the public.
This young woman is Miss Brewster,
who sits next to Wentworth at the
table. Fate seems to have played right
into her hand and placed her beside
him. They became acquainted. and,
unfortunately, my friend has told her
a great deal about the mines, which
she seemed to have an interest in. Or,
rather, she pretended to have an in
terest in him, and SO he spoke, being.

more careful fellow in the world than
George Wentworth, but man does not

every we'll, that is the state of things.
In some manner Wentworth came to
know that this young woman was the
special correspondent of the New
York Argus. He spoke to her about
it, and she is perfectly frank in saying
she is here solely for the purpose of
finding out what the reports will be,
and that the moment she gets to
Queenstown she will cable what she has
discovered to New York.
Dear me, that is very perpleXing.
What have you done?"
1--WE have done nothing, so far; or,
rather, I should say, we have done
everything we could think of, and
have accomplished nothing. Went

a clumsy attempt at an appeal also,

Certainly; if you will be so kind as
to take any interest in it."

course, you know my father is deeply
concerned in it, also, so am acting in
measure for him.
'Have you any plan?"
yes; my plan is simply this: The

paper gives, she will very quickly &C.

kind of woman she is"
"Ah, yes" said kenyon, "but we
haven't the money, you see."
"Never mind; the money will be
quickly forthcoming. Don't trouble any
more about it. 1 am sure that can be ar
ranged"
Kenyon thanked her, looking his graf
itude rather than speaking it, for he
was an unsteady man, and she babe him
good-by until she could think over he1
plan.

in this affair; it is all your friend Went
worth's fault: but still, if it hadn't
been Wentworth, it would have been
You"
Kenyon looked up at her incredulous-
ly.
"Oh yes, it would she said, nod
ding confidently at him. You must
not tiattcr yourself because Mr.. Went
worth told me everything about it,
that you wouldn't have done just the
same, if l had to find it out from you.
All men arc pretty much alike where
women are concerned"
Can 1 say nothing to you, Miss
Brewster, which will keep you from
sending the message to American"
NO, you cannot. l thought we had
settled that at the beginning. 1 see
there is no use talking to you. I will
return to my book, which is very inter-
esting. Good morning, Mr.. Kenyon"
Kenyon felt the hopelessness of his
project quite Us much as Wentworth
had done, and. thrusting his hands
deep into his pockets, he wandered dis
consolately up and down the deck.
AS he went to the other side of the
deck he met Miss Longworth walking
alone. She smiled cordial welcome
to him, so he turned and changed his
step to suit her.
May 1 walk with you a few min

Certainly" was the reply. What
is the matter? You are looking very
unhappy"
My comrade and myself arc in great
trouble. and 1 thought 1 would like to
talk with you about it,

paused in front of Miss Brewster, she
looked up and motioned him to the
chair beside her, saying:
II don't know you very well, Mr..
Kenyon, but l know who you are.
Won't you sit down beside me Tor
few moments?'' The bewildered man
sat down on the chair she indicated.
"Now, Mr.. Kenyon, know just what

three or four times wishing to sit down
beside me and yet afraid to venture.
Is that not true?"
"Quite true"
