THE MOON At PARIS IN 1900.

The man in the moon, who came
down too soon, as we are informed by
that veracious astronomical chronic.
Ter, Mother Goose, is coming down
again, practically, ut the Paris EXPOSE
ton, provided the great telescope now
making Is success. The CoSm0pOi-
tan SAYS: The projectors OF the enter
prise assert they will bring the moon
within forty miles by means of their
apparatus, and it really begins to look
as if there was a chance to do so, Tor
the great seven-foot mirror is almost
ready, and the lenses, after repeated
failures, are ground and made perfect.
The basis OF comparison for a tele-
scope is the object-glass, and the only
lenses to which those of the Grande
Lunette can be compared are those OF
the Yerkes telescope, at Lick Observa-
tory, in California, and the gigantic
Grunwald instrument that was shown
au the Berlin Exposition.
The Yerkes object-glass is three
feet five inches in diameter, and the
Grunwald glass measures three feet
seven seven inches across. The OBJ
ject-glasses of the Grande Lunette are
four feet in diameter. These are the
largest object-glasses ever cast and
ground successfully.
The completed telescope will not be
subjected to the restrictions imposed
on the other big telescopes of the
world by the difficulties OF mechanical
construction. That is to say, tele-
scope as large as the Yerkes, for in
stance, is mounted on a framework of
complicated mechanism, and held up
by a tremendous foundation.
The Yeskes, which fell once before
it was FINALLY placed, was restricted
to sixty-five feet in length because of
the mechanical difficulties in handling
an instrument longer and heavier.
That is not the full focal distance
of its object-glass. The Ierkes tele-
scope does not do what it might.
To circumvent the difficulty, and
give the four-foot object-glass OF the
Paris telescope it's full focal power of
one hundred and ninety.five feet, the
telescope will lie fiat along the
ground. 1t will be stationary. The
image of the star or other heavenly
body to be examined will be caught by
a seven-foot mirror, reflected on the
object-glass, and seen as perfectly as
if the great glass were pointed at the
sky.
By ingenious mechanism at both
the eye-piece and under the mirror, it
will be possible to catch any part of
the sky, and retain the image on the
glass, for the mirror and the eye-piece
will do what the whole telescope does
in other Observation-Disclosures the 70.
tary motion of the earth. The cast
ing of the great mirror and lenses has
been attended with much difficulty.
The French astronomers are all ut
sea as to what they will discover when
they look through the big glass.
There is no precedent. They think
they will get the moon, relatively,
within distance of forty miles.
They are sure new and marvellous
things will be discovered; but, until
the first man takes the first peep, no
one can even guess satisfactorily.

SENATOR MASON.
Of Illinois, Again Reiterates His
Criticisms of the Administra-
tons Policy in the Philippines.

WASHINGTON. September 20-In an in
terview with a Post reporter to-day, Sena-
tor Mason, of Illinois, said:
On the floor of the Senate | shall con-
tinue my opposition to the war upon the
Filipinos. | would sooner resign my seat
than treat dog the way we are treating
those people. l am ashamed of my coun-
try. People make a great mistake" he
continued, when they say 1 am against
expansion. [ am not. But expansion by
purchase or other honorable means is one
thing; expansion by force is another. |
do not believe that there was any neces,
sity for this war upon the Filipinos. 1
believe that if we had adopted a resolution
in Congress assuring those people as we
assured the Cubans, that we had no selfish
designs upon them, we never would have
met with any opposition in the Philippines.
The fact is that we have given the Fill
pinos every reason to distrust US. and they
are fighting for their own liberty
Talk about hauling down our flag" con-
tinued Senator Mason "Win not our flag
come down in Cuba? Certainly it will. if
we are true to our promises And the day
that it comes down will be the brightest
day in our history, because it will show
that we are a great unselfish nation, devot-
ed to the eternal principles of right and
honesty If the Cubans want to be an
nexed later that is another question. WHY
cannot we deal with the Filipinos the same
way?"

WOMEN AS ARMY NURSES.

AT the present time there are 500 women
nurses in the service. and these are scat
tered from Porto Rico to Manila. A nurse
now receives under contract forty dollars
a month, and fifty dollars II serving out of
the States. An army uniform has rot vet
been adopted, but is in concentration.
Steps are being taken to place the woman
nursing corps of the army on a permanent
and satisfactory basis. But it is very true
as DR.. MCGEE says: This is a thing
which it is impossible to do empirically. or
a one stroke
With our increasing responsibilities in
other lands, responsibilities which entail
the Keeping of large force of soldiers in
countries and climates generally alien to
them, the continued maintenance of the
corps of women nurses seems nothing more
nor less than a humane necessity. The
woman nurse during the recent campaign
proved herself capable of rising above the
most trying and unusual conditions. She
has been success; more than that. she
has been acknowledged necessity. NUS
ing IS distinctively woman's vocation. 1t
is a profession which, under all ordinary
and most extraordinary circumstances.
should belong to women. Ask any of the
soldiers who lay i'll or wounded in the hos
pitfalls during the late war what they think
of the woman nurse. There will be but one
answer to every query, and it will be seen
that the moral strengthening and support
of a good woman's presence is, in time of
war and suffering. as great as that of her
professional skill.-Anna Northend Benia-
min, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly
for September.

The MAzEr COMMITTEE

Continues Its Inquiry Into tho Ramapo
Water Scandal, But Secures Little Infor-
nation.
NEW YORK, September 20. The as
sembly committee investigating the
management of the departments Of the
municipal government devoted itself
To-day to further inquiry regarding the
status OF the Ramapo Water Company,
which had proposed to enter into a
$500, 100000 contract with the city.
H g. NJ Ingraham, of counsel for
the company, was the first witness. He
had drawn the contract for submission
ITO the board of public improvement,
but he pointed out several material diff
contract which was placed before the
Board by Corporation Counsel
Whalen. Witness could not give
the names OF stockholders
in the Ramapo company. That
company, witness said, could full
fill all the conditions of its proposed
contract and begin the delivering of wa
ter in 1903. He was asked to produce
Mr.. Nostrand, the company's engineer,
but replied HE is not in my pocket.
He is not where l can produce him.
To introduce any of my friends here to
Mr.. Moss would be like introducing
them to an assassin
Ar. Moss, counsel for the committee,
took possession of the contracts and
other documents which Mr.. Ingraham
had brought with him.
Gen. G. H. j. Colliss, formerly COM
missioner of public works of New York
city, said he had been approached while
In office regarding the subject of the
city's water supply. The man who
came to him on this errand urged that
the Ramapo company controlled the
only available supply; but the witness
had replied that at that very time
there was stored in New York reser-
voirs sc, 100000 gallons of water.
Gen. Colliss also testified that during
the Strong administration the asphalt
paving contracts had been so altered as
10 do away with the monopoly which
one concern had enjoyed.
George B. Hammond, the committees
subpoena server, swore that he had had
a number of men looking for Engineer
Nostrand and Secretary Lamont, of the
Ramapo company, for the last two
weeks, but in vain
