ALvAN G. CLARK DEAD.

Professor Alvan G. Clark, the famous
telescope lens manufacturer, died at
his home, Cambridge, Mass, as the re-
suit of stroke of apopleXy. His lat
est finished work, the mamoth lenses
for the Yerkes telescope, was shipped
to Chicago on June 8.
Alvan G.. Clark was born in Fall
River, July 10, 1882. After a grammar
school education he became associat-
ed with his father, Alvan Clark, in the
firm of Alvan Clark & Sons. The elder
Clark was the first American to make
large achromatic lenses. AS mem
Der of the firm the son successfully
completed many famous lenses, among
which are the Chicago refractor, the
26 inch lens in the Naval Observatory
at Washington, and the 30 inch refrac-
tor for the Imeprial Observatory at
st. Petersburg, for which the honorary
medal of Russia was awarded, the only
one every conferred on an American.
During 1886 the 36 inch refractor, then
the largest in the world, was made for
the Lick Observatory. The lens for
the Yerkes telescope is the largest in
the world.
Mr.. Clark accompanied the total
eclipse expedition to Spain in 1870, and
also an expedition to Wyoming in
1873. AS an observer he discovered
fourteen intricate double stars, in
GLIDING the companion to Sirius, for
which the Lelande gold medal was
awarded to him by the French Acad-
envy of Sciences in 1862.

A Trans
continental
Test.

The Crimson Rim was the
wheel which carried John HI.
Wits from San Francisco to New
York in the shortest time on rec
ord. Wits set out on his Grim
son Rim from San Francisco May
ID, and as he finished in New
York June "a, last, his record for
the distance was Al days, hour
and As minutes, Up to that time
the best record for a transconti-
mental trip was 48 days. "There
is but one Crimson Rim; it is the
Syracuse. From one end of his
rough journey to the other, Wits
never changed his mount. 1t car
ried him through the mountain
passes of the Sierras, across the
prairies of the West, over the
turnpikes of the East, without a
hitch. He paid no visits to the
repair shops. The most that he
had to do was to borrow a wrench
from friendly Sycamore in Chic
ago. One puncture, and one only,
delayed him for short spell.
The Sycamore rider swears by his
wheel. Why should he not? Is
there another mount to match it2
