Anti Whipping Order.

The Supreme Court recently
decided that the convicts in the
State penitentiary could not be
whipped in any sense of the
word, and the court held that
the statute which provides that
the board Of control may plO-
vide for "cOrporal' punishment
does not mean that the board
may authorize a convict to be
whipped with the lash or strap.
The court says that the lash can
not be laid upon a Roman citizen
and that the corporal punish
ment designed by the statute is
solitary confinement and the
like. This decision Of the court
will call for d revision Of the
present rules governing prison
discipline, and in view of the
disastrous consequences in the
negro Oliver the board will
doubtless take the matter up at
once and revise the rule which
has hitherto allowed the SER
geants to apply the lash to re-
frActory convlcts.

astronomers faced the same expert
ence others had, the big telescope
would not take such good photographs
f>bf the fainter stars as the smaller In
struments would. In fact as the cb-
| servatory was equipped with battery
of three telescopes. it was found that
each of them-the 12-inch refractor
the 2-foot reflector and the 40-inch re-
fractor-was best suited for some par
ticular kind of Photographic work.
The big fellow enormously magnified
the images and showed details which
were not imaginable from pictures
made from the smaller instruments.
But the big fellow needed so much
light to make a picture with his long
focal length, that he would have need
ed two or three nights, perhaps, to
make a photograph which the small
est of the three would have made
finely in six or seven hours. In fact,
it was shown that the great observa-
tory of the future was likely to be not
necessarily the possessor of the largest
telescope in the world, but the one
possession the largest battery of tele-
scopes each adaptd to some particular
work.
spectrOscOpicaI Astronomy.
There was another field of develop
ment going on in astronomy along
with stellar photography, and that was
the bringing of the methods of the
physical laboratory into play more and
more. For centuries astronomers had
gazed at stars, measured and observ-
ed and studied them with the eye. They
had come to apply analytical apparatus
to the end of the telescope and record
Herewith facts about the stars that
could not be perceived with the eye.
And they had come to a point beyond
which they could not utilize this APP
paratus with the revolving telescopes.
Every pound of weight added to the
chance of deranging the telescope, and,
besides, there was no room to attach
the big spectroscopes, twenty-five feet
or more in length, to the end of the
tube.
And the possibilities of the use of
this apparatus were as alluring as
were those of photography. Away out
there millions of miles distant is
star To the eye it remains year in,
year out, a fixed point of light. Even
through the telescope it does not APP
pear to move, so slight is It's orbit
compared with the enormous distance
that separates it from us. Yet it is
Nhirling through space as we are,
about some sun which it obeys, rs We
do ours. How do the astronomers learn
this? Through the spectroscope.
Every one is familiar with the fact
that when a whistling locomotive is
approaching the pitch of the whistle
rises, and as the engine recedes 1t
falls. This is because the sound waves
are Crowded together by the onrush-
ing engine, and shortened as 1t APP
proaches, and are drawn out longer as
it goes the other way. The same thing
happens to the light of an Unrushing

Chicago. April 1S.-Imagine a tele-
scope a thousand feet long, mounted
on the summit of lofty tableland in
the clearest obtainable atmosphere.
Conceive it not as a slender steel
tube mounted on an axis turned by
a gigantic but delicate astronomical
clock in a dome covering forty acres
of ground but as a long. low shed,
without windows or doors in its sides,
and with nothing about it to relate it
to the observatories of to-day except
a ten-foot plane mirror mounted on
coelostat at one end and back of and
about the mirror Laboratories filled with
the largest and best obtainable appara-
tus for the analysis and study of star
images. And with all this, what else?
Perhaps nothing at all, for the thou
Sand-fOot telescope is as yet only the
astronomers dream, and in a large
way its future is conditioned by the
success of a smaller but still enormous
telescope under construction at the
Yerkes Observatory of the University
of Chicago at Williams Bay, Wiscon-
sin.

Unable things about distant worlds, as

elist take secondary place in fascinat-
ing literature.
And with all this, An Emancipated
Astronomer, seated in the midst of his
apparatus, directing, focusing, but no
longer following with weary eye and
tired body the slow progress of the butt
end of the telescope across the obserV-
ing floor. For, while the thousand-foot
telescope is still dream, the 165-foot
instrument is nearing completion at
the Yerkes Observatory. Should 1t be
