however, the work has gone on stead
lily and we are now assured that the
giant telescope will be in position in
time for the opening of the Paris Ex-
position. That it will prove one of the
wonders of the exhibition there can be
no doubt but how much ONE will be able
to see IN it is a question thai time alone
can answer.
Up to the present time the enlarge
n,ent of local images through the use
of telescopes has not exceeded 1000
times, but we are promised that the en-
largelnert under the giant telescope of
1900 shall at times exceed 10000 times,
What this vii! mean depends entirely
upon there is to see upon the sur
face of the moon or the planet Mars.
If there are drove of elephants or other
large animels to follow Or army corps
or nava! fleets to watch it is quite pos
sible that we may be able to see them
and If there is nothing of an interesting
character on any of the heavenly bodies
ii will certainly not be the fault OF the
telescope.
This is the view of the layman but to
the scientists the construction of this in
strunent is fraught with possibilities OF
astronomical research that are simply
boundless and they are confident that the
day is not far distant when certain pOr-
tons of the heavens at least will be as
an open book to them.

The Majors Brother In-LaW

1t was a cheerful, go-as-yOu-please
crowd. The place of it's gathering was
the hall Of a, big hotel in a southern city,
and the occasion was the welcoming of
an ex-Confederate general who had come
to that city to be the chief speaker at the
unwilling of a Som of those
who sat there smoking and talking over
the past had fought on one side in the
days lone gone by, others or the other
side, but the fact only added variety to
the color of the yarns that We're told over
for their hundredth time, without in the
least interfering with the cordiality of
the meeting.
One grizzled man would tell an anec-
dote of Shiloh or Antietam amid roars
OF laughter, and then another, sitting on
the chair next him, would coolly con-
tradict every detail hat had military or
strategic bearing and wind up his criti-
cism with, what can you expect from
a goldarned rebel .like"-the last speak,
er-or You mustn't look to get the
truth out of a darned old Yankee'-all
of which chaff only added hugely to the
general hilarity and good-fellowship Of
the proceedings.
At last a man with a gray and pointed
goatee spoke up, well, now, boys, I'll
tell you one thing. Tn ready to forgive
every blamed Yankee that tried to shoot
me in those days except one"
who's the one, Hubc?" asked a some
what younger man, who Wore a wide
brimmed felt and a general appearance
of being from the far west.
"What?" said the gray goatee. you
mean to say you don't know? Well, that
does beat ALL"
You don't suppose I know all your
secrets, do you?" said the other.
1t may be we'll to explain here that
the man from the Pacific coast was the
Wife's brother of the gray goatee, who
was a resident of the city and was enter
tanning his brOthcr-in-laW at his home.
We'll, no, | don't expect that" said
the gray beard, When the laughter had
subsidized a little. Il don't expect you to
know all my secrets. But considering
that this thing concerns certain transact
lions that subsequently took place out in
California, which you were pretty closely
mixed up it, why, that being the case,
l would have supposed you might know
what I was abiding to. I was abiding
to the one and only blemish on the manly
beauty of my physiognomy. 1t was a
blamed Yankee trooper that entirely
ruined the bridge of my nose with his
sabre, gentlemen. Now, | ask you. is that
q Christian way to carry on war? And
is a man bound to forgive an enemy that
will do a thing like that, when-when-'
GO on, Major" came from all hands.
''Go on and tell us about it,"
Then his brother-in-law quietly added
Il don't see what there is so particular
bad about a sabre-cut on the bridge of
the nose. Don't believe your nose ever
was any such great shakes anyhow"
You don't. Well now, gentlemen, you
just listen to this, and I'll leave you to
judge if I oughtn't to shoot the Yankee
at sight that cut me over the nose during

was who advised me mex day to strike
while the iron was hot. | wrote Il let
ter Of proposal, and the reply was more
than l could have hoped for. The lady
condescended to say that she was
ashamed of having allowed u silly pre-
judice TO sway her in so important q
matter. My rebuke, she said, had
touched her deeply. l need not tell you,
gentlemen, that the tactics | had fol-
lowed had not been by any means intend
ed to convey a rebuke of any kind.
"NoW | ask you-after all that ruined
bridge has entailed-is it right that |
should forgive that Yankee who wrought
the ruin with his blade?"
Before you answer with your verdict,
gentlemen said the brother-in-law, Il
would ask you to consider the circum-
stance that the Yankc who wrought the
ruin was the same who suggested the
remedy
you don't say" shouted the Major,
jumping to his feet.
Then there was an uproar of shouts
and laughter which wound up with loud
cheers for the Rebel Major and the
Yankee brother-in-law. 1t was the
unanimous verdict that the Yankee ought
to be forgiven.
Have you known this all along, Tom?'
the Major asked as soon as quiet was re-
stored.
Il knew it six months after T first
met you in California. Hubc. You told
me how you got the cut at ~Blucsprings,
and ! remembered the date. Also | re-
membercd that l cut one of you John

nobody else in our got close

Il promptly took my law partner
now my MISUNDERSTANDING my con-
fidence in this business.
Il said to him, DO you think your sis
ter would take more kindly to me, if my
nose We're, say, of a more normal
shape?'
II answered, TO be candid, Hube, l
think it very possible
"Then l told him of my conversati ton
with the actor. He remarked, Why don't
you get him to teach you how to make a
pretty nose out of wax" And that was
the hint on which l acted"
Here the brother-in-law broke in,
"Gentlemen, let me ask you to bear in
mind, to my credit, that it was l Who
suggested the remedy"
1t was agreed that the Majors brother
in-law had lone him an inestimable SER
vice by his suggestion, and the Major was
requested to finish his story.

The chef-d'oeuvre of nineteenth CEN
fury science is to be put on exhibition at
the Paris Exposition of 1900 when the
general public will be initiated into the
most secret wonders of the new horizon
tai telescope. A few months ago it would
have been difficult to have found any
one of mark in the scientific world who
was bold enough to give an assurance
that the new telescope was a possibility
of mechanical and optical construction
blu today confidence in the project has
been req Weakened and it will not be long
before the columns of the newspapers
will be flooded by the opinions of the
greatest of scientists regarding the value
of the new invention.
Few of those who now look with so
much confidence upon the new telescope
have any idea Of the obstacles that have
been overcome by the bold builder OF
this great machine. The greatest tele-
scope that exists at the present time is
that of the Yerkes Observatory, the OBJ
jective of which is 1928 feet In diameter
and the focal distance about siXty-ive
feet. This telescope moves on its axis
In a vast cupola rs feet in diameter.
When NJ. Francois Deioncle announced
that he was prepared to construct a
telescope that would far surpass the
Yerkes telescope in it's power the sci
entific world listened attentively but
telescope that should be of such vast
proportions that the moor would be
brought within a few miles of the earth
the project was ridiculed.
Nothing daunted NJ. Delpncle and his
associate. H. F. Gautier. continued to
carry out their plans. The glass found-
ers to whom they were first submitted

threw up the contract after a few ex-
periments. They doubted if a seven
foot miller could be constructed sue
~cessfully and would not consider the pos
sibility of the construction of a ten
foot mirror. Now that this has actually
been done the most difficult obstacle in
the way of the carrying out of the scheme
seem to have been ~surMounted and dis
tinguished astronomers are beginning to
talk about the giant telescope as if 1t had
already been completed.
While there is some disa greement as to
the full value of the wonderful machine
all seem to be in accord with the express
sion of the opinion that new and Won
derful things are about to be discovered,
! while the most enthusiastic supporters OF
M. Deloncle claim that this instrument
! will permit us to see the moon at a dis
tance of a few miles. 1T may even be
hoped to recognize the presence of an ami
NAL the size of an elephant by following
It's movements"
One reason why it was determined to
place the telescope in a horizontal posi-
ton was that it's immense size and
weight would not allow it to be swung
as in the case of an ordinary telescope.
The new telescope is to have an OBJ
jective of Al feet in diameter and a focal
distance of siXty-five feet. It's weight,
therefore,, will exceed $4,000 pounds.
Such an instrument would have nee
essitated the construction of a. cupola
2o9 feet in diameter. in which even if
the foundations could lave been made
sufficiently solid, he n:aneuvering would
lave been difficult, the nexion% and dis
~tOrtions of the glasses and tubes would
have been considerable, and the net cost
would have been extremely high.

Virginia, in 1868. You just listen to this:
years after the war, gentlemen, l
was settled down peaceably in California;,
trying to earn a living at the bar-hy
which I mean the legal profession. This
man here, who now has the honor to be
my Wife's brother, was then my part
ner. Observe, gentlemen, that l allowed
him to be my partner although I knew
that he had been in the Yankee army,
fighting against us, only a few years be-
fore.
Nov, gentlemen, I am forced to con-
TESS that L was moved to override my
natural prejudices partly by my feel
ings for a certain lady who was, and, l
may say, still is, a person of rare virtue
and attractiVeness. This lady was the
sister of that undeserving man over
there. The way of Providence are mys-
FERROUS, gentlemen.
"Nevertheless, do What I would, in
| spite of my having made her brother my
partner in business, l could not Seem to
make any Roadway in the sense of my
matrimonial ambitions. In fact, the most
I could obtain from the lady in question
was a polite, ladylike consideration.
Whenever l appeared at her home, she
made a point, it seemed to me, of having
her brother in the room with US; and if
her Brother was not within hail, she
| would have her mother there.
"Now, all this time l never lost CON
fidence in myself and my cause. i knew
perfectly we'll that l was just the man to
make her happy. The only strange thing
about it was, that I never suspected what
was at the bottom of the lady'S apparent
repugnance to me. You see, gentlemen,
l had a very little experience Of the fair
sex in those days.
Il eventually found out what was
wrong-after wearing myself to a shadow
for more than a twelvemonth with ain
efforts to make myself aCceptable-i
found out ~ /, mere accident, | may say.
"An actor who at that time was famous
! came to the city where we all then lived
and played the part of Napoleon IN a
drama that was very popular.
Il saw this piece one night and then,
after the performance, met the great
actor at q little entertainment given
by some friends of mine. l could hardly
believe that the man who sat opposite to
me at table was the same man | had
seen in the part of Napoleon less than an
hour before.
Excuse me, sir I said to him. Your
face seems so different now from What
it is on the stage that I can not help ask
ing you if you wear a mask when you
! play
well, he was amused and fattered by
! my question.
II only wear a mask of wax he said,
and that only a partial one-only on the
nose-I fit myself with a Napoleonic nose
of wax, and that makes all the differ
of wax, and that makes al the difference
Wei, that was a revelation to me. I
thought, If a Napoleonic nose can make
this man look like Napoleon, when he
naturally looks more like a chimpanzee,
I wonder whether he cut that Yankee
broke down my nose with has given me
