THE MAJOR
AND THE
MUDHEN

The name of Major ". D. Crosby
on the passenger list of the transport
Thomas, set ]. G.. Pratt offson a hunt
ing expedition yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Pratt and the Major were bows
together back in 1876 at school in
Beloit, Wisconsin. Major or Billy"
Crosby, as he was then called, was
generally astride of his hobby, natural
history, and Pratt sometimes accom-
panied him as fidus Achates and gen.
eral assistant. And thereby hangs a
tale.
Rock river runs hard by Beloit and
which the waters peacefully spread out
into placid pools and marshy runways
where marsh birds abounded in their
season.
Following up his last pursuit, taxi
denny, Billy Crosby was fired with
the ambition to secure and afterwards
stuff a specimen of certain snipe that
made their headquarters above the
dam. Pratt was called in as assistant
and a plan Of campaign carefully
worked out Billy, then rusty faced
youth with a nose like a horned owl
supporting goggles (this description
given by Mr. Pratt may be biased) was
we'll equipped for the hunt with a
birch bark canoe and a valuable gun.
The birch bark canoe was comfort
able for cue but load of two be-
loved caution. To shoot from it ex-
cept der favorable conditions was
risky procedure. Therefore it was
planned that Billy should paddle and
Pratt hold the gun in readiness to pass
| it to Billy when the snipe was sighted.
The load consisted of the smallest bird
shot, so as to stun rather than kill the
victim, but there was plenty of it and
Up the river above the dam, padded
the canoe with BILLY" at the PROV
peering through his spectacles for the
prey and Pratt with the gun. Sud-
denly a feathered something came in
sight and Pratt all eagerness, without
waiting to pass the gun, fired. The
Majors version of what followed is
perhaps the more reliable.
can old fat mud hen came placidly
out from the bank and crossed in front
of the canoe. You could have hit her
with a rock but all birds looked alike
to Pratt and without passing the gun
according to agreement, he hauled off
and blazed away. Bang! went the gun,
back went Pratt's shoulder with the
recoil and over went the canoe. I
heard the mudhen squawk as I went
down. We had a lovely time getting
ashore and I lost my gun and my
glasses"
'And having lost his glasses" says
Pratt, che couldn't see the shore and
swan round like blind turtle trying
to find land. The gun was gone, the
glasses gone and the canoe was water
logged. don't know about the mud
hen, thought it was a snipe, but Billy
was very indignant that I should have
mistaken the hardest bird in the world
to hit for squattering old mudhen
without sense enough to get out of the
way.
1.-THE boys ioshed us until school
broke up about the trip and whenever
Billy wanted his gun he made sarcastic
remarks to me. He went into the SER
vice as surgeon soon after and then he
married but neither of US has seen
each other for many years. He, like
myself, is married with a family, but
to me he is still Billy Crosby and I
suppose 1 am 'Mudhen Pratt to him."

There were not enough lawyers to go

Judge De Bolt was not touched. The
attorneys were engaged elsewhere or,
upon one side or the other, were I'M

court asked for any case in which dis
engaged counsel were ready and after
several disappointments one was an
nounced wherein the situation was
simplified from the fact that one of the
parties was absent without any coun-

San Francisco. March IA sack of gold
coin amounting to $500 disappeared from the
pocket of All Hop, a Chinese hardware
dealer, while he was in the Bank Of Cali
fornia, Sansome and California streets. The
money belonged TO the California Cap Com
pany.- -- -.
Hop. acting as agent for the cap COM
pany. went to the bank with check for
81 ,055. so, drawn by the corporation. The
money was TO have been used to pay the
Chinese hands OF the firm their months S
wages.
Hop uses American clothes for everyday
wear, only donning Oriental raiment when
he goes to tine club or fills a date with the
joss. At the bank he counted out $500 in
gold, put It into bag and dropped it into
the right outside pocket of his American
sack coat. He put the remaining s255 so
into another bag and moved away from the
window. Five minutes later he told the
paying teller that the sack containing the
$500 had been taken from his pocket.
The bank official detained Hop until he
could summon the policeman on the beat
and to the latter the Chinaman told his
story.
The Oriental was accompanied at the time
by one of his sons. Chong Hop. a keen lad
of about Is years. who spoke English fluent
ly. Chong says he saw no one take the
money from MS fathers pocket.
Some men were close to the latter at the
paying teller's window the boy says. but
he saw none Of them make any movement
OF a nature to create suspicion.
The fact that 500 In gold weighs more
than three pounds and that the removal of
such a weight from ones coat pocket would
usually be felt at once. caused the police
to be skeptical when the matter was re-
ported at the Hall of Justice. Several boss
Cinnamon" have started out in time past
to pay of cannery employees, and reported
complete loss by robbery before satisfying
the laborers demands. The case of All
Hop had a similar odor to the police nostrii.

ly trusted by the California Cap Company,
for which he foreman for twenty
years. and genuine tears rolled down his
cheeks when he told of the affair. His tale
is that of most clever robbery and one

San Francisco March 1.-THE Cross,ey
rejecting telescope. for which the heavy
portions of the new mounting have just
been completed, became the property of the
Lick Observatory in 1895, by gilt from Ed
ward Crossley of Halifax. England.
The telescope. of feet aperture and II
feet inches focal length. was built about
1880 for the private observatory of Doctor
A. A. Common a wealthy amateur astrono-
mer of England to test his views regarding
the construction OF large refiectors and
their mountinSs.
Subsequently the telescope was purchased
by Edward Crossley, and set up in his
private observatory. The climate of Eng
land proved not to be satisfactory for the
use OF large refiectorS, and. recognizing the
great advantages of the location Of the LEX
Observatory Mr. Crossley presented the
telescope and its dome to that institution.

doing much extremely valuable work with
it PERHAPS the most important result of
his efforts was to show the great value of
the reflector for celestial photography.
The Crossley reflector is. therefore. of pc
culisr interest. as 1t marks the beginning OF
improvements in refiectors which are lead
ing to a more general adoption of this
much neglected form of telescope
The present {O-iginaD mounting OF the
telescope is in many respects very well

To meet the more rigid requirements OF
The St. Louis Republic., 1903-03-15

Photographic work (n which the Crossley
reflector Is exclusively used) the new and
mere stable mounting has been designed.
The new mounting is of the equatorial
form. The steel tube carrying the mirror
and plate-holder is attached to a heavy
steel declination axis. The declination axis
passes through the central section of long
polar axis. which is supported at both ends
The polar axis is adjusted to exact paraI-
lelisrn with that of the earth so that by
rotating the telescope on this axis at the
same rate and in the opposite direction, a
celestial object may be observed continu-i
ously Tor many hours. The Gscination axis
permits of motion of the telescope north
and south.
The polar axis has been made unusually
long (tourtoen feet to permit the lower
end OF the tube of the telescope to move
freely under 1t in all positions.
III making iong-eSposure photographs the
telescope cannot be changed to the opposite
side Of the pier when the object crosses the
meridian, as in VISUAL work. This axis is
unusually large and strong to prevent bend
ing or vibrations.

ings Tor the polar axis. since they are on
separate piers, the surface on which they
rest have been made cylindrical In a direc-
ton at right angles to the polar axis
