TeIrsenne Wonders.

NJ. Gautier, the well known optician, is
making good progress with the construc-
ton of the giant telescope intended for
the great exhibition in Paris in 1900. The
aperture will be LIS metres {49.2 inches),
and the focal length sixty metres ds6
feet 10 inches), while the estimated cost is
j, 400 GOO francs. An equatorial mounting
and dome for such a gigantic instrument
may well be considered linpracticable,
and accordingly the telescope itself will
be rigidiy fixed in a horizontal position
on supports Of masonry. and viii receive
the light of the heavenly bodies after re-
hection from a movable plane mirror two

The plane mirror is thirteen inches thick
ond weighs $500 kilogranmes. and it is

purpose. The first one turned out TO be the
best. This has been In process of grinding

SWEDEN'S TELEPHONE SYSTEM.
The Talking Maehinss in General
Use In That Country.

Every one has read Of the remarkable
use of the telephone system in Sweden,
particularly in Stockholm, and it has Of
ten been pointed out that this is the most
extensive system in the world when pop
ulation is considered. The figures, which
have been SO variously quoted, really
give no adequate impression of the COM
pleteness and general popularity Of the
Swedish telephone system. Even the fruit
women and f~ishmongers have their tele-
phones, and the small shop that has not
a phone is the exception rather than the
rule. This general installation in stores
-presupposes numerous calling subscribers,
and telephones in private residences are
almost universal.
The secret Of this remarkable state of
things is to be found mainly in the cheap
ness OF the convenience. A householder
can secure ample communication for $40
a year. This payment entities the sub
scriber to the free use Of the wires IN
stockholm and throughout a radius of
nearly fifty miles. The highest charge
for service is only rs per annum. There
are two other classes, namely. $50 and SIS
rates.
In the private dwelling rate Of $40 q
year the messages are limited to 400 per
annum, and a charge Of two CENTS for
each excess message. compared with q sou
or $50 rate in American cities for limited
service and a charge Of eight TO ten cents
for each excess message.
Stockholm is served by two telephone
companies, one a State institution and
the ether a private concern, which, by
The way, is the more largely patronized.
Almost every lamp-past Is provided with
a telephone attachment. by which It is
possible 10 call UP the nearest cab stand
for a carriage or notify the police or IRE
departments.
While tho service is frst-class in every
respect. all the modern improvements be-
ing supplied. yet. Notwithstanding the re-
markedly low price for service. the GEM

Him OF His Saloon.

stanislaus Adlis kept a saloon at NO.
So Railroad avenue, Bayonne, and lily
man Lazarus was his landlord. Adlis got
in arrears for the rent, and, on October
p. 1897, Lazarus evicted him with the
assistance of two men. Whether the
eviction was accomplished by due pro-
cess OF law or by superior physical force
without regard to the laW, will be detef-
mined today by a jury in the Circuit
Court where a suit Of Adlis against La
zarus to recover $4,000 damages is being
tried.
The plaintiff claims that after he was
evicted Lazarus took possession of the
saloon and the stock, and deprived him
of it. The defence will be that Lazarus
was the real owner of the place by vir-
tue of a mortgage. Alexander Simpson
appears for the plaintiff. and Robert
