posed to know at least, the relative
value Of certain grades of rocks at

LENS FOR BRUCE TELESCOPE.

anime the style of Lens Made
by Cooke g. Sons.

Prof. Edward e. Barnard, of the
1erkes observatory, at Williams Bay,
Wis, has left for England, accom-
panied by Mrs. Barnard. The purpose
of Prof Barnard's trip is to investigate
a certain style Of lens made by T. Cooke
'& Sons, of York, which is apparently
just what the professor wants for the
Bruce Photographic telescope.
When the Yerkes observatory was
dedicated, in October, 1897, 1t was an
nounced that Miss Catherine W. Bruce,
of New York city, had given $1,000 for
Photographic telescope and building
at the Yerkes observatory. 1t was in
tended at that time to get the instr1i-
.ment in readiness for operation during
the following year, but the matter has
been delayed owing to the inability to
find just the exact style of lens to pro-
duce the best results.

requirements, and Prof. Barnard goes
to investigate. II satisfactory he will
remain until one can be made for his
telescope, which mny take three

1NDEpENDENcE FOR CUBA.
Problem which Confronts ConRress
in Providing n Stable Form of
Government for Island.

d To the Cuban committee Is to be re-
ferred such problems US arise in connec-
tion with turning over the islands to the
natives. It's deemed probable congress
will assume the right, II it does not have
1t already, to say when the Cubans are
fitted for independent government. 1t
is believed the president would be glad
to escape the responsibility of making
such decision, more especially as con-
gress made the first pledge Of inde-
pendence, which was, as is well known,
somewhat against his wishes.
There is no apparent disposition in
congress to violate the original pledge
and force annexation on the people OF
Cuba. On the contrary, many members
talked with are inclined to believe this
country has about all of the illiterate
Spanish element it can digest at the
present time without assuming new
responsibilities in Cuba. 1t is believed,
however, that congress will in some way
prescribe the manner of creating the
independent republic of Cuba, certain.
ly, SO far as the original right OF suf-
frage is concerned. There is even a
proposition that the Cuban constitu-
ton, when adopted by the first conven-
ton, shall be submitted to the senate in
this country for approval, on the
ground that the United States will be
morally responsible to the world for
the kind of government established in
Cuba. Hence, 1t is argued, II may be
wise to insist on certain restrictions in
the constitution. preventing its being
overthrown for term Of years, or even
establishing friendly sort OF protee-
torate on the part Of the United States
for the purpose of putting the Cubnns
on their good behavior during the time
required for them to understand what
self-government really means.

verse with each other. The English
troops had the fine city of Lisbon in their

could be obtained. The French, on the

pies OF which history teens. Nearly ev-
cry student of history knows what hap
pcned when the two picked corps OF
France and England came face to face
at the battle of Fontenoy. The two par
ties halted within short distance of
each other, and, after momentary
