many surprises, and it was not until after
long series of timid experiments that the
exact distance between the polisher and the
mirror for each fineneSs of emery powder
was determined. The whole morning of

justing the polishing machine the polishing

What Shall We See:
1t is the moon and the planet Mars that
will be most observed through the Grande
Lunette by the visitors to the exposition of
1900 All through the summer Of the expo
stion year the grounds will be almost as
bright and gay by night as by day. The
corporation that is putting up the telescope
is spending over 2OO0.GOO francs upon it,
The admission price-to hunt for elephants
upon the surface of the moon-will be ex-
tremely high. Thanks to the horizontal
position of the instrument, the image of the
planet can be thrown by a magic lantern
process on gigantic screen, so that a
thousand people may see it at the same
time. Such views will be the cheapest, and
perhaps not the least satisfactory. The
great guess at the present moment is, what
shall we see?
1t is said that the moon will give at the
focus of the Grande Lunette an image of
23.4 inches in diameter. Up to the present
the greatest enlargements Of local images
have been 1000 times. With the Grande
Lunette they may, under certain circum-
stances. be enlarged 10000 times This will
be as if the picture of the moon thrown on
screen-could any screen be large enough
should stretch out $4,000 inches or al
most four miles in diameter. No one of
course. will see "the moon,' but only moon
landscapes.

Mr.. Turveydrop has, up to very recently,
considered himself quite clever, and moth
ing so pleases him as to get the best of
some unsuspecting person.
For long time his wife had been in need
Of a new muff; after limiting to her lord that
her happiness would never be complete till
she had one, he at last decided to crafty
her DESIRE
So he went into a shop and picked out a
couple, one Of which was cheap and the
other very expensive
Upon these he changed the price tickets,
putting the cheap price mark on the ex-
pensive muff and vice versa and then took
them home.
For long time his wife pondered, and at
last said: ..
Now, dear, the expensive muff is a
beauty, and it is really very good of you
to allow me my choice Some women would
take it without IA word but really 1 don't t
think we can afford 5the more costly one;

Nothing ike this telescope has ever been

TWO greatest existing telescopes at the pres

figure! al the Chicago exposition. and the
grand equatorial OF Gruenewaid. the pride
Of the late Berlin exposition. The object
glass Of ne former is three feet five inches
in diameter while that of the latter is three

time in the history "f great lenses fun play

Tor The first time it has been resolved
not to subordinate their powers to any
difficulties Of mechanical execution"
To understand the significance of this
determination il is only necessary to look
at the GcrkeS telescope. Sixty-ffVe feet
long and fully five feet in diameter il is
like an immense steel can?on pointed to the
sky. Its weight is moved in a vast cupaIa
