sjast1c and sincere applause. Mr.. Lents
work on the cello and Mrs. Lent's work on
OF the concert, hut some Of the numbers

THE LARGEST LENS.
The Splendid Achievement of IN Amer
lean ManufsctureF.

The Splendid Achievement OF IN Amer
lean Manufacturer.
The Clarks have accomplished what
has long been regarded as an impossi.
bic thing, and one which no European
manufacturer Of lenses could be induced
to attempt. This is the making Of per-
feet lens Of more than three feet across
the face. No one but this American
manufacturer ever thought of exceed
ing the twenty-six-inch lenses which
are in use at several observatories on
both continents, one at the naval OBJ
scrvatory at Washington, through
which Mr.. Hall discovered the long
sought satellites of Mars and many
double stars. The highest power was
supposed to be reached when the Lick
telescope in California was put up with
a thirty-six-inch lens. The difficulties to
be met in the production of perfectly
clear lens of great size are so many that
the European observers who have
wanted anything above the twenty-six-
inch lens have had to take the reflect
ing telescope, which has a concave mir
ror. 1t requires, of course, a much
larger rejecting telescope to get the
same amount of light and the same
magnitude of object
The making of this forty-one and
half-inch lens, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, is regarded as the
browning work of Mr.. Alvan Clark's
life. 1t is probable no larger lens will
ever be made. Under existing condi-
tions larger telescope than the
ferkes-the telescope of the Chicago
university observatory for which the
lens is made-would be OF no great
value. To increase the magnifying
power is at the same time to increase
the distractions to clear vision. When
the object is magnified the atmospheric
agitation is increased to such degree
that distinctness is virtually sacrificed
when the object glass is larger than
forty-one and half-inches. 1t is
doubtful IL the Yerkes will be any
more useful than the Lick. Some day
it may be possible to remove the OBJ
staclcs to clearness in the case OF
powerful lens, though the only reason
for suggesting it is that Prof. Tyndall
was able to construct glass by which
the blue of the atmosphere was dissi-
pated in looking through deep space.
II the Ierkes glass answers expecta-
tions it will enable an experienced OBJ
server to catch occasional glimpses of
the Mars canals, which, though drawn
firmly on the Vatican maps, are vague
and wavering and almost imaginary
through any glass. They can be seen
at all only by the trained observer
The great telescope will be most useful
in the study Of double stars, which is
now a matter of special interest to
many observers
