TROUBLE WITH Il TELESCOPE.
servat0ry lnterfered With By
Inaustrioas Spiders.

Continued observation with the tel
escope of the Yerkes observatory re-
vealed the unpleasant existence of
of curious streaks of light run
ming horizontally. whose appearance
had certainly never been noticed be-
fore. and gave rise to redoubled un-
easiness, says Good Words. And yet
everything seemed right with the
glass. viewed eternally. and the most
searching investigation coI1d discover
no cause. At last. in desperation. the
eyepiece end was unscrewed. and Prof.
Ellerman, as slimmest of the party,
was hidden to crawl, as he well could
do. along in the tube itself and see IL
he could discover aught amiss. He
crept along well enough. so wide is
the tube, till he got beyond the center,
when the telescope began to turn over
with his weight. and he would have
slid down on the top of the glass had
not the other end been promptly seized
and held fast. Then he continued his
journey, and in another moment had
discovered the unsupported author of
the mischief, an overindustrious spi-
der and her equally hard-working
progeny. who had succeeded in filing
up the entire end of the tube with a
mass Of cobwebs in the hope of catch
ing what must have been wholly inn
aginary flies. The webs and their
spinners were carefully removed. and
from that day to this the behavior of
the Yerkes 40-inch glass has been all
that heart could desire.
