We all do without many things that
would add to our comfort in life, not
because we are obliged to do so. but
from lack of knowledge or thought. 1t
is not wise to coddic oneself, to search
for new wants, to make new nccessi-

cause we cannot he comfortable else
where. But Il personal lamp is a. sem

revenue of comfort enjoyed through all

CHAPTER MIL.

A mantle of gloom fell ovcr the once
happy household; the servants soon per-
ccivcd that there was something wrong.
Peter Lcnnox kept to his study now, and
seldom dincd at home, or spoke to his
niece: lie was vcXcd, angry, and discom-
fitted.
In the meantime BcatriX saw Bcltran

go to S%trathnarn House-Pcter Lennox
had forbidden it. The Duchess of Elms-
lie was very civil to him when she met
him, but she never invited him to her
house. The lovers met Mt balls and par
ties, ut the opera. If they could not meet
they could write; and they did 80.
One evening the three members of the
divided household dincd together. Peter
Lcnnox had resolved upon making one
more appeal to his niece, and so talked to
her more kindly than usual. 1t was gen.
tic Lady Lcnnox who caused the mis-
chief. She noticed the ring with its band

LENS UNMAsKs NEW srARsN
Penetration of Spaces Hitherto Be
lieyed to Be Impenetrable.

l1Gve0 20 BE SuSGT0
The great Yerkcs telescope has un-
masked hitherto unseen worlds. The
great lens has been focused into space,
and to the great JOY of Director Hale
and Prof. Barnard and their associates,
the light-gathering power Of the glass
has been proved perfect. 1t far u r
passes the thirty-six-inch lens of the
Lick observatory, and Prof. Burnham,
who is acquainted with all the great
telescopes in this country and abroad,
has given it as his opinion that the
Yerkes lens is the peer of all.
The wonderfully constructed lens has
light-gathering powers that pierce far
into the unknown, and even the hay
mists of the nebulae have been pene-
trated. Most of the objects connected
with the nebula in Lyra, the great clus-
ter in Hercules and the dumb-bell neb-
ula have yielded up their secrets in the
past only through the agency Of the
Photographic plates. Prof. Barnard has
seen these only family at Mount Ham,
ilton. At Lake Geneva he has BEEN
able to view them with unusual dis
%tinctness. After Prof. Barnard had
swept the sky in the region of the neb-
ulae. he pointed the instrument toward
a region located to the astronomer In
Pos. 312 degrees; Dist. S minutes.
Prof. Burnham had frequently pointed
the Lick instrument ut the same spot
with the expectation of finding some
thing new. To Burnham on Mount
Hamilton it was all space and nothing
more. He watched whole nights and
discovered nothing. He swung the giant
tube toward the region. and the first
discovery at the Yerkcs observatory
was registered on the dial near the
dome. The unknown wanderer was
found c Il Winneckc's companion to
Vega. Although it might claim some
distant relationship to Vegas cOmpan-
ion. it is too far away to be considered
as physically connected with the lumi-
nary and may have an orbit of it's own.
AS Vega has been II of the best OBJ
served bodies of the heavenly wander
ers, the discovery speaks volumes for
the new lens. 1t also disproves the
tneOrN Ol 1FOl. l-OWell AIS W Iuc uALdS-
orable atmospheric conditions of the
region in which the telescope is located.
The instrument, so a%uspiciously
brought into the field of science, will be
dedicated Oct. 81 and 90 In connection
with the formal exercises a series Of
conferences on astronomical subjects
will be held Mt the observatory and at
the University of Chicago. The formal
presentation of the observatory to the
university by Mr.. Ycrkes will take
place mt 11:3O o'clock i'll the forenoon.
The principal orator for the occasion
has not yet been appointed. In the
evening Il reception will be given to MI.
