The new mirror for the great Paris
telescope Is the largest ever made Il
was cast at Jeum0nt. a manufacturing
place. and the last French station on
the line to Liege, Cologne and Berlin.
This splendid block OF homogeneous
crystal weighs 1900 kilogrammes. Its
diameter is 2f5 meters, being consider
ably larger than the great reflector Of
Lord Eosse, and in its present nearly
rough state it cost $4,000 OF course
It was conveyed to Paris in a special
train. Il was wrapped up in heavy felt
blankets, protested BY hoops Of soft
wood. with metal tires, mounted on
pivots. Thus packed, the mirror was
tightly wedged in a case that was
placed in the wagon on bed Of hur-
dies and layers Of hay.
For greater safety the train stopped
only once at Tergnier. and went at as
slow a pace as a royal train, escorted
by a railway inspector. Il was in
sured to its full value. The same after
noon it was removed from the north
ern terminus to the workshop. The
mirror before leaving Jeunont went
through a second grinding Of its faces.
being as smooth as a fine plate glass.
But for the telesc0pic purposes this
sort Of smoothness is roughness itself.
The finishing process viii take two
years and six months. and by more ex-
peditOus processes than any hitherto
In use, which. moreover, will give
greater accuracy than anything known.
Hitherto Astronomical mirrors and
lenses have been polished by hand by
slowly rubbing the glass with the
naked hand. sometimes, but not al
ways, moistened with oil, albumen and
other substances, which are the max
er's secret The drawback Of this pro-
cess is that the mere heat Of the hand
may cause the surface to warp.
The new mechanical process will
produce a surface approaching a true
plane, within one ten-thousandth part
Of a millimeteY Even this marvellous
finish will leave a margin, astronomers
tell us, for errors. The whole finishing
process will cost $4,000. The silver
ing will not cost anything to speak OF.
The mirror Will be mounted on two
arms ten meters long, and will be set
in motion by machinery Of the usual
sort. The rays gathered from planet
airy space will be reflected horizontally
through a mammoth tube so meters
long, laid on piles Of masonry. The
lens Of flint and crown glass will be
one meter twenty-five centimeters,
the largest in the world. and the i'm
ages enlarged 5000 times. will be
thrown on to a screen which thousands
Of people will view at a time.

The late Prof. ". H Harrison. who
for many years was at the head o. a
popular boys school in Amelia County.
Va, was much loved and respected by
his many pupils. and had a rare faculty
for managing them. "He wasn't for
ever nagging as, but. as some OF .us
learned by experience, he let the pun
ishment fit the crime" So said one Of
his former pupils, now a prominent
lawyer In Richmond: and then he re-
lated the following story:
The professor was accustomed to take
drive every sunny afternoon in a
heavy, 0ld-fashioned coach drawn BY
large gray horse One day, shortly af-
ter he had returned from his drive.
half a dozen Of the boys espied a coach
standing IN the driveway, where it had
been left temporarily, and we're seized
with the idea that it would be great
sport 10 secrete it.
Chuck!ing softly among themselves,
they stole near to make sure that the
colored driver was busied with the
horses inside the stable. Then they
took hold OF the thilIs, three on one
side and three on the other. and drew
the coach out Of the grounds and down
long hill into a pine grove.
Wont the old Goat be puzzled to
know where his coach is?" said one
fellow, with a laugh in which the 9TH
ers joined.
tOId CootSf ne :, 49,, - offooffo,.
ate familiarity which the boys applied
to the professor behind his back. and
which really savored nothing OF dis
respect
The roguish youths INDUCED In
jokes and merrlment as they tugged
the coach into a position out Of which
It would be difficult to remove it. This
they had just accomplished when. to
their CONSERVATION, Prof. Harrison put
his head out Of the coach window, his
eyes twinkllng, and said, in his digni-
fed, slow way:
We'll. boys. you've had the fun Of
hauling me DOWN here, and now must
request you to haul me back again"
Smiles fed, faces grew long, and the
boys stood aghast.
Albright. sir" stammered one.
The professor settled back on the
cushions, resumed the book which he
had been quietly reading when the
'fun" began, and the boys proceeded
to drag the coach back to the grounds.
How they worked The hill was
never before half so long nor half SO
steep, but after almost an hour OF puff
hng and perspiration the job was done.
Then Prof Harrison opened the
coach door. and, descending, said, with
marked courtesy: Il thank you for my
ride; / hope you have enjoyed It as
much as ! have"
"Yes, sir" answered one Of the boys
who knew not what else to say, and
felt that some response was called for.
There the matter ended. so far as
the professor was concerned, FOR he
never alluded to it again. The culprits
on their part resolved never to mem
tion 1t, but 1t was too good a story TO
keep.-Youth's Companion.

door and tells the side that IS OUT
that the word rhymes with hin. The

for example. they 90 back into the
room and act It out as plainly as they

A bishop OF the Church OF England
is so great parsonage, not only in his
spiritual but In his temporal capacity,
that It makes a story told this week
by the Church Times donbly amusing.
Iscannot do better than quote the para
graph IN full. "A bishop who went to
a village for a confirmation. accepted
the hospitality Of a young matron. who
had just married, but was a little os-
tentatious OF her riches. She adorned
his room with an elaborate toilet set
Of solid silver that included more than
dozen pieces. The bishop. his visit
ended. went away. but the silver toilet
set could not be found The lady's as
constituent was great. but she sum
moned up courage TO write and ask the
bishop whether his valet had packed
Il up with his luggage. and Il had been
overlooked IN unpacking. The bishop
answered promptly by telegram: Am
poor but honest. Look in the table
drawer. She did 80, and there It was.
BY next post came a letter from the
bishop explaining that he had put the
rich articles away. and had forgotten
to tell her that he Travelled with a very
simple set OF his own. and the silver
outlay dazzied him SO much that he
was anxious TO put It out Of sight"

Concerning the successful prepare
tion Of croquettes Mrs. Rorer saws.
In covering croQuettes. or anything for

used. as the Shortening used IN max

Then boiling fat must not be used
It should be smoking hot and fully
that Too hot fat burns the croouette
before IL can fry. and too cool fat usual

inning by a score Of to 4. It was

the Lagoons did the better stick work.
Ogden secured but eight hits off New

Ogden played somewhat listless game
for the first three or four innings but
after that there was enough ginger IN
