One of the many wonders of the great

scope Of gigantic power. We hear from
Paris. says the New York Herald, that
the object lens is to be iifty-one inches
in diameter, and that the huge lnstru'
ment will bring the moon within an
apparent distance from us of one mile.
To accomplish this, however. the tele'
scope must embody other new features
than merely gigantic size, as reports
from leading astronomical ccnters In
the country show. For comparison :
sake the dameters of the object glass.
es of the greatest telescope in the world
are here given: The largest in exist
ence Is the Lick. whose object glass Is
thirty-slX inches across. The second
largest Is at pulkowa, Russia, with n
glass of thirty inches. The third is at
the University Of Virginia, its glass
being twenty-siX inches. Harvard has
the fourth largest, with twenty-four
inch glass. and the fifth in size he
longs to Princeton College. The IA
nous Yerkes telescope glass, the latest
of the celebrated productions at Cam
bridge, Mass, is rated at forty inches
diameter.

STUBBS WAS TOUCHED.

Stubs is really not very absent

Stubs that makes him lucky enough to
be overlooked two cases in ten when he
boards loaded car.
One morning he was absorbed in his
paper, and when he felt touch OH his
arm he mechanically passed out his
nickel and went Oh with his reading.
Later the conductor stood beside him
and murmured, Fare, please" bat

With red face the conductor rang

one. Il did not get your nickel, and
you know it. -
At that minute the man who had
nudged Stubs to move over in the seat
no had occupied with him dropped off
the car and walked the other block to
his Office.
The next time Stubs rode in a
crowded car he gently touched the arm
of an acquaintance and got even for the
