one-fourth more powerful than the one
they had just made. Again and again
they tried, schooled by the nineteen
failures in making the Lick glass.
Each trial required several months
At last the patient French makers
were rewarded with two disks forty
two inches in diameter and as nearly
colerless and fawless as glass was
ever made. These blocks of glass We're
made into the lenses now in the eye
Of the Yerkes telescope. The glass
was ground and finished by the firm
Of Alvan Clark g. Sons, Cambridge
port, Mass.
Just as Americans have never been
able to cast perfect and large disks
Of optical glass, so the French have
not been able to polish the disks per-
fectly after they are cast. For four
years Mr.. Alvan G. Clark worked at
the lenses. 1t may be that another
such perfect glass will never be
made. The secret of the polishing
has been handed down for three gen
erations in the Clark family. Previous
to the work of the Clarks a German
family-the Frauenhofers-had pol
ished these glasses. For a century
after the death of the last Frauenho-
fer 1t seemed that the art of polish
ing optical glasses was lost. Then

I'm THE STARRY SKY,
WHAT MAY BE SEEN THROUGH
!. THE YERKEs TELESCOPE.
Powerful Glass at the Williams Bay
Observation-Disclosures tho Moon With
in Sixty-four Miles Of the Earth-
Close Study of tho Planets.

For nearly two years the big eye of
the Yerkes telescope In the observatory
of the University of Chicago, at Will
Jams Bay, Wis, has been spying out
the secrets of the stars. 1t has looked
one-fourth further into space than any
instrument devised before 1t. Night
after night the huge, grim Cyclopean
eye swings slowly round in its ponder
GUS frame, crouched in it's big white
dome, and keeps sleepless watch upon
the heavens. The great dome is open
to the sky. The ponderous tube swings
slowly, imperceptibly, with the turning
of the earth from sunset to sunrise
again. Shut in the black shaft which
supports the barrel Of the refractor Is
a clock, wonderful piece of mechan-
ism, which tells off the motion of the
globe on its axis. The telescope shifts,
hair breadth by hair breadth, guided
lby the clock, and making the circuit
;of the heavens, with tireless eye fixed
ialI night long upon a single star. There
lis no escape from the big eye. AS the
earth swings In one direction, the eye
lsile1tly alters it's focus, never aweary
land never asleep
What can the ordinary observer see
Through the largest and most perfect
telescope in the world? What has the
big lens so far revealed to the astrono-
mers who have watched 1t as an oracle
since the first day it peered Into space?

few days.
The eye piece Of telescope. through
which the observer looks, Is the pars
of the instrument which mugnifies the
objects seen. The number OF dame
rers to which al object can be magni-
fed to advantage depends largely upon
the perfection Of the object glass. In
the Yerkes telescope a glass which
magnifies 1900 times has been en-
ployed successfully Through this
the moon would appear as it would to
the naked eye at distance of sixty
four mites. The eye piece ordinarily
used magnifies AGO diameters.
Incredible as it seems, the delicate
measurements of the movements of
the stars are calculated by cobwebs
nicely stretched and forming the real
measuring apparatus of the microme-
ter. They last for years and are even
cleaned of dust with a delicate cam
ePs-hafr brush. Taking OFF the glass
covering one evening, Prof. Burnham
was examining the webs. He absent
mindedly breathed into the aperture,
breaking one Of the tilaments, which
it took considerable time to replace.
At the Yerkes telescope q device has
been perfected for lighting the threads
with electricity and making them a
faint red color. A white light on them
would be so brilliant as to injure the
eye of the observer. In addition to
it's micrometer, the big telescope Is
equipped with oil other accessories,
such as spectroscopes, spectographs,
spectre heliographs, photo heliographs,
etc.

a STARTLING OBJECT LESSON
How a Mexican A1caIde Learned Some
of the Difficulties of RaiIroadiuy

How Mexican A1calde Learned Some
of the Difficulties of Railroading.
The old Southwestern engineer was
telling tales of by-gone days down in
Mexico and dwelling upon the Mexi-
cans ignorance of railroading.
"Once, near Victoria" said he, 1--WE
were loaded heavily with iron, and we
hit the usual drunken Mexican asleep
on the track. Them folks used to think
roadbed better'n wool mattress. 1t
was down grade and around a curve,
and we were going at fair clip, and,
though we had air brakes, we couldn't
hold up in time. We ground him up,
and at Victoria, ten miles further on.
we didr't have any better sense than to
report 1t. OF course, tSe train was side
tracked and we were put in Jail. Next
day we were hauled up before the alcal-
de. He was little, dried up man, with
mahogany skin and snow-White mus
tache. 1t bristled fiercely, but noticed
that his eye twinkled a good deal and
l sorter cottoned to him right away.
We told him that we couldn't stop the
train in the time allowed us, and it was
the truth. He said, through an inter-
prefer, of course:
I've heard all this before. Five of
my people have been killed by trains in
six months and l have let the train
crews go. They said they couldn't STOP
I'm going to see about this. Your train
is on the sidetrack, coupled and loaded.
Wen fire up and go back to the place
where you killed Vicente. Well run
down at the same speed When you
come near to the curve you must Try
hard to stop. l will go In the cab with
you.'
"Well, we fired up and went back
three miles beyond the death spot.
Then we started forward again. OF
course it was not my business to run
too slowly. 1 wanted to show the
alcalde that stopping in the space de-
scrtbed was an impossibility. Old 93
was quick engine, and inside of two
miles, 1t being a down grade, we were
doing a two-minute clip. We struck
the curve at forty miles an hour. The
alcalde had never in his life been on q
train. and he was leaning out of the cab
window, waving his big straw hat and

the spot where Vicente had been pull
verized the airbrakes went on like the
clamp of death. l was thrown to the
floor of the cab myself AS for the
alcalde, he shot through the window
like rocket, turned six somersaults
and lit on his back in the sand thirty
feet away. The train ground to
standstill, yards beyond the blood
stained ties. He came limping up,
brushing the sand out of his white hair.
I remember that his mustache was all
bent down on one side. He looked up
at me and said simply, 'Valga me Diosp
which is about equivalent to 'Dern my
buttonsp We went back to town; he
discharged us all and invited us to din
ner with him. We stayed and pulled
out that evening. Everybody ran pret-
ty much on his own schedule In them

Two Routes Through Life Confront
the YounE Man.
Frank Thomson, the President of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, who died a
few weeks ago, was known as one Of
the foremost of living railway mana
gers. There was no part of the busi-
ness with which he was not familiar,
from the control of its great moneyed
interests to the fitting of a screw into
an engine.
A wealthy man once brought his son
to him, saying, my son has gone
through college. Can you make place
for him where he will succeed?'
Mr.. Thomson was silent for a mo-
ment, and then said, THAT depends
on whether he wants to take kid
glove course or a coal-oil course"
''What do you mean?
IF he takes a kid-glove course, he
goes in as clerk to perform certain
amount daily Of writing, for which he
will be paid salary. In the other
course he goes into the shops and
learns the whole business, from the
lowest drudgery up. When he has fin
ished he will know his trade, a valu-
able one, but his hands will be stained
with coal oil"
Mr.. Thomson himself, when n boy,
chose the "coal-oil course" He worked
four years in the car-shops at Altoona,
barely earning his living, but learning
the mechanical details of the business.
Thomas Scott, the famous railway
manager, was a friend of the young
man, but gave him no help, leaving him
to work his own way. At the end Of
the four years he sent for him, and
gave him responsible position on the
Pennsylvania Railway.
The civil war broke out that year.
Colonel Scott was appointed assistant
Secretary of War, the Government be-
lieving that his experience In the rail-
way work would have taught him how
to handle in transportation great bod
les of troops. A problem of peculiar
difficulty of this kind arose.
81 know of but one man who can
manage this business" said Colonel
Scott to the Cabinet "He is not here"
"Send for him then," said Mr.. STAN
ton.
The next evening Frank Thomson,
then only 20 years Of age, appeared.
''Do you mean to tell me-" cried Mr..
Stanton, somewhat sneeringly,." that we
have waited twenty-four hours for this
red-headed striplingY
HE will do the work." replied Scott,
quietly. And he did it.
Mr.. Thomson was probably peculiar
ly qualified by nature for his especial
business; but there is a strong preju-
dice among American boys against
work which involves manual labor, and
a preference for clerical duties as being
more refined.
1t is a fatal mistake. Great prizes
now await the thoroughly equipped,
practical man in work which lies out
side of mere book learning, and the boy
is wise who grapples' with this work
with his bare hands and tries to win
them.-Youth's Companion.

an eye, of the most wonderful artif-
cial seeing apparatus yet devised. This
great eye Is 200 times as large as the
eter Is forty inches, while the diane
ter of the pupil of the human eye is
one-fifth inch. It Is made Of two sep
arate lenses, one of crown glass, two
and one-half inches thick at the CEN
ter, three-fourths of an inch thick at
the edge, and weighing 200 pounds;
the other Of flint glass, one and one
half inches thick at the center, two
inches thick At the edge, and weighing
300 pounds. One of these glasses is
convex and the other plano-concave.
These two lenses are mounted eight
and three-sixteenths inches apart in
the end of big steel tube sixty-two
feet long, about forty-two inches in
diameter, and weighing six tons. No
figures, however, can properly express
the size, the delicacy, the almost hu-
man intelligence of the great machine.
The object glass of this telescope is
as delicate as human eye A super
fine silk handkerchief rubbed across
its surface would destroy it. And yet,
with proper care, it will never wear.
The glass for each lens was cast in
Paris by the firm of Mantois, celebrat-
ed for the manufacture Of optical
glass. Up to the time Of the Lick tele-
scope they had not been able to cast
solid, perfectly achromatic block of
glass more than thirty inches in diam
eter. Then came the American order
for two lenses thirty-six inches in di-
ameter. The Frenchmen could but
try, although they were skeptical as
to the outcome. Nineteen times the
trial was failure. For months the
mold was allowed to cool impercepti-
bly, each day until all the heat had
gone out Of it. Then came the test.
Nineteen times the glass contained
flaws too great to be remedied-minute
bubbles, unequal densities, various
other defects. The twentieth trial
produced a magnificent piece of glass,
which finally became the property of
the Lick Observatory. Encouraged
by this success, the firm of Mantols
set about the manufacture of a glass
