PHILADELPHIA new
TELESCOPE FINISHED
Has One of the Five largest
Detectives in the East.
Two Attachments, the Spectro-HeliO-
graph and the Star Spectroscope,
Expected to Prove of Value

PHILADELPHIA. April She mount
ing for the big telescope OF the PhIIadeI-
phia observatory at the Central High
School has been shipped from Cleveland
and the eleven boxes and one crate con-
tanning the delicate mechanism are ex-
pected to arrive at their destination next
Saturday II viii take about month to
erect the instrument and its attachments
and test their working.
The telescope is fitted with two double
achronlatic lenses Of fifteen inches diam
eter. one OF which is for visual observa-
tiCns and the other Tor Photographers
The mounting is upward Of eighteen feet
in length. In place OF the doublet lenses
it was originally contemplated to have a
triplet lens, but the German manufac-
turers 20 whom the contract was awarded
it is said. failed to live up to their prom
Use. In the doublet ssnses, which have
been manufactured in this country. how
ever, il Is believed that the observatory
has acquired lenses Of greater utility.
The telescope is said 70 be one OF the
tiye largest cbjeetives in the Eastern
States The largest is at Princeton. and
zts iens is twenty-eight irches in diam
eter- Washington has the next largest.
twsnty-six inches. The Flower Observa-
-ory has one OF eighteen inches and Har-
ward one OF fifteen inches.
Among the attachments is a spectre
heliograpA. which has been constructed
in such orm that it is expected to be
the most serviceable Instrument OF the
kind ever erected There are believed to
be only two other acknowledgements in
the world, located respectively at Yerkes
Observatory and at POtsdam. Germany:
but it is doubtful il either Of these is in
active service.
II is intended to Photograph the sun IN
a single wave of light. and in this way
disclose the action Of the different metal
lac vapors OF that lumina1y
The spectro-heliOgraph and the star
spectrOscope, which is another OF the at
tacameuts, are said to represent the soIu-
ton Of the most difficult mathematical
problem in connection with any telescope.

PLEADED INSANITY.

Alexander Ikey of Wells, who kill
ed his wife with an axe last Thursday
afternoon, was arraigned on the charge
of murder before Justice W. X.
Farnsworth at the house of correc-
tion at Rutland on Monday morning.
The hearing lasted about one minute
and the prisoner pleaded not guilty by
reason of insanity.
Ikey was to all appearances the most
harmless man imaginable. AS he en-
tered the room, where the hearing
took place, in his awkward manner
he looked neither to the right nor the
left, but sat where he was directed
and spoke not a word during the pro-
ceedings The prisoner was bound up
to the county court but it is not
likely that his case will ever come up
before the grand jnry which does not
meet until September. There is a
provision whereby a prisoner who
gives good evidence of his insanity
can be put in charge of the officials
of the State asylum. Ikey will prob
ably be sent i'll due time to Water
bury.
