ish ROmanesque, and as the building
is on a slight elevation it stands out
against the sky It's ground plan is in
the shape of a Roman cross, $50 feet
long by $50 wide, 600 feet from the
waters edge. There are three domes.
The one with the great reflector is 80
feet in diameter, and the other two
are 33 and 80 feet respectively. There
is also q meridian circle, making a
total of four telescopes by which a
rumber of independent observations
can be made at the same time. The
main building is finished inside in
Italian marble, with oak and maple.
I he floors are mosaic. There is a
magnificent physical laboratory in the
basement as complete as any in the
world, with 1ull Photographic equip
ment. Photography is an important
aid to the astronomer, for the plates
he uses in his camera are more SEN
satiye than his eye, and he is able
to fix on glass impressions of many
stars so minute that they would es-
cape his unaided observation.
A feature of the observatory is the
heliostat room, in which, as long as
the sun shines above the horizon
there is steady and constant beam
of sunlight available for optical eX-
periments. No heat is allowed in the
dome rooms. The temperature inside
must be the same as the temperature
outside. The work done there is 50
delicate that expansion or contraction
of the metal work of the apparatus
would interfere with the accuracy Of
the results.

CHEER THEIR LEADER
IRISHMEN APPLAUD JOHN RED
MOND.
KISSES TOR GLADSTO
Spirited Speeches Thoroughly Arouse
the 800 Delegates to the First Ma
tional Convention Of the Irish In
dependent League in Dublin
England Bitterly Denounced.

Dublin, Oct. 12.-The first general
national convention Of the Irish In
dependent league, organized by John
Redmond, NJ. P, the Parnellite leader,
opened Monday afternoon in the An
cient concert rooms here. Eight
hundred enthusiastic delegates, who
packed the hall, actively participated
il cheering vociferously every point
in the speeches which met their ap-
prevail jeerirg the name Of Dillon,
HeaIy, Davitt, as we'll as kissing the
rame Of Mr. Gladstone when Red
mond characterized him as the Eng
lishman who betrayed Ireland" All
of the speeches paid a tribute to the
patriotism of the late Charles Stuart
ParneIl. Warm cheers greeted the
entrance Of Redmond, John Parnell
and Patrick O'Brien into the hall.
The climax of the convention was
reached when during a speech deliv-
cred by William Redmond, he said
that when the Dillonites rejected
Parnell, they alienated the United
States, thus killing the goose which
laid the golden egg. Continuing
Redmond said that he would never
walk into any room controlled by
Dillon or Healy, although he was for
unity. Adding he said: with all
the royal professions through our
streets, it is time for Irishmen to
say something. The great mass of
Irish people are today, and will be
until liberty is given them, enemies
of England. England is a bully
pirate and savage Whether in India
or Africa, the bloody flag of the
British empire is advanced by
plundering and destroying the poor
people. Our sympathy goes to these
poor people. God bless them and give
success to their efforts. Three cheers
for the men of India who are fighting
England" The delegates thereupon
climbed upon their seats shouting
down with Britain!" The meeting
had up to that point been Of a some
what mild description, but much
greater denunciation of England
followed. There was, however, nc
| discord whatever. Tie resolutions
were all adopted with enthusiasm
| and the reading Of a telegram from
the Irish Independent league Of New
York was heartily cheered.

Buffalo, n. Y, Oct. 1O.-This city
will be the theater this week of the
international convention of the Broth
erEcod of st. Andrew, which like the
Christian Endeavor movement had its
rise in America and has spread over
the Christian world. The sessions will
be held in Music hall from next
Wednesday through Sunday. Though
claiming to be undenominational it is
commonly looked upon as an annex
to the Protestant Episcopal church and
is doing for that sect and its affiliated
bodies what the Christian Endeavor
and Epworth League are doing for
other denominations.
The convention will be notable for
the number of bishops and other dig
nitaries who will participate. Among
them are Rev. Charles Gore, canon of
Westminster; Ri. Rev. William D.
