There are quite few Calumet people
hguring on taking IN the excursion which
the South Shore railroad will run next
month. The extreme chespness of the
trip and the territory and cities to be
covered has attracted no little attention
and it is more than likely that the copper
country will have a few representatives
at least. 1t is not often that such rare
opportunity to visit Montreal, New York
and Washington in such short space Of
time and at such email expense offers IT,.

sonally conducted excursion makes it all
the more likely to be enjoyable.

seems to be more interest in the town

than in their own village election. Al
though a number OF candidates have de-
clared themselves for one or two of the
offices, the places on the council which be-
come vacant do not appear to be very
much in demand and there appears to be
general satisfaction with the records OF
the outgoing councilmen. 1t is under
stood that President Joseph Light will
not be candidate for reelection. he is
quoted as saying that he could not be a
candidate under any circumstances. His
plans for the future are still somewhat

thinks some one who could be sure
to take up the work and see it through

lage OF considerable size and the position
OF Its chief executive carries some little |
honor with it. There are one or two
names being mentioned for the place |
which will be made vacant by Mr.. Light. |

tation Of the Yankee hoy-that he can
make not cniy the thing he undertakes
but also the machine that makes it
was proved to be deserved by Henry
Draper, for he made and he mounted
the first American rejecting telescope.
With it he took over fifteen hundred
photographs of the heavens; and the
instrument is still in use in Harvard
observatory. The telescope not only
reveals more than can be seen by the
eye alone, but the sensitive film sur
passes the power of the eye when aid
ed by the telescope, for the camera
records on the films objects which the
eye can not see through the greatest
magnifying lenses. No matter how far
away or how dimly 1t shines, the light
of the faintest star in time impresses
the film, and thus that which is invis-
ible to the eye becomes visible on the
plate. In celestial photography the
camera is kept moving during the TAX
ing of a picture. The exposure ome
times lasts several hours. and If the
camera were stationary the motion of
the earth would soon carry the subject
out of line with the telescope. The
camera. therefore, is attached to the
tube of the telescope, and the object TO
be photographed is brought into the
lens at the intersection of two cross
wires. Then, by a system of clock
work, the telescope moves so that The
subject occupies the same position on
the plate during the exposure. In

THE RUSH FOR GOLD.

The rush Of gold seekers to the Klondike
brings thrilling memories to the forty
miners still alive, of the time when they
girdled the continent or faced the terrors
of the great American desert on the journey
to the land Of gold. These pioneers tell
some experiences which should be needed
by gold seekers today. Constant exposure
and faulty diet killed largenumbers, while
nearly all the survivors were afflicted with
