RARvARD's NEW TELESCOPE.
Noted College Has a Great Many Large
Glasses.

The acquisition Of a large rejecting
telescope by the observatory of Har-
ward university Is an event Of much
interest to astronomers. The instru-
ment was formerly the property of a
noted English amateur, DR.. 4. A. Com
mon, and has already done good work.
Shortly after the death Of the original
owner, Harvard received an anonymous
gift of $4,000, which made the pur-
chase of the telescope possible. The
bargain has now been contaminated,
and the apparatus is being. packed for
shipment to this country
Renectors have certain drawbacks
and are rarely used except for photo
graphic purposes. when they have a
diameter Of three feet or more, however,
they are apparently superior to re-
tractors for such service. An instru-
ment of the former class, once belong
ing to DR.. Common and afterward sold
to the Lick observatory five or six
years ago. Much trouble was expert
enced at first in mounting it so as to
follow a celestial object satisfactorily,
but at last it yielded astonishing revel-
ations, both of its own capacity and
Of the mysteries Of the heavens. In
the hands Of the late James E. KeeIer
1t showed that nebulae are far more
abundant than anybody imagined.
Previously they had been reckoned by
the score, or, at the most, by the hun
dred. Professor Keeler calculated,
from the number discovered in a small
area by photography, that the visible
universe could not contain less than
10000! Fresh hints were received, too,
concerning the forms of many nebulae
and the intimate association of stars
Herewith.
Harvard already has four or five 9TH
er telescopes, which are used for pho
Biography. One, refractor, has diam
eter of two feet and a length of 12.
1t is now In use at the station in the
Andes. Another, also a refractor. wa

1t lacked but five minutes of the time

Speaking of mysterious tastes, that
of man who was recently before the
magistrate at Greenwich is not very
easy of explanation. Three weeks ago
a legacy of f130 was left TO him. The
first thing he bought 1t seems, was a
set of billiard balls, and he now has
nothing else left to show for the f130,
which has disappeared at the rate Of
f43 Is. Sd. weekly. Why billiard balls?
1t is n singular and rather interesting
form of craving. 1t is perhaps true
that billiard ball is one of the very
few perfect objects produced by man.
1t is all of piece, it is thoroughly ho-
mogeneous as regards material and it
is, or should be, faultless in form. Yet
only a strong strain of mysticism in
the character would account for a man
hungering and thirsting for billiard
balls above all other earthly things

A TOBACCO LEGEND.
The story of the Way In which Man
Obtained the weed.

An ethnologist tells an interesting
story as TO how tobacco was first OBJ
tained by man. according TO the tra-
ditions of the Menominee Indians:
zone day the god hero, Mannbozo,
was on Il journey. when he perceived
n delightful odor. II seemed to come
from n crevice In the cliffs high up on
mountain side. On going closer he
found tavern which was occupied by
giant. In fnct. the giant was the
tenant of the mountain, and from the
mouth of the cave passage led down
into the very center of the hill, where
there was large chamber. Around
the chamber were stacked great quaint
ties of bags filed with curious dried
leaves. From the leaves proceeded the
delicious fragrance.
"These leaves were tobacco. Once
year, the giant explained, all of the
spirits came to the mountain for the
purpose of smoking this exquisite
weed. But II was not possible to give
any of It away" said the ethnologist
Nevertheless Manabozo watched for
an opportunity and, snatching up one
of the bags, fled, closely pursued by
the giant. The thief leaped from peak
to peak, but the giant followed so fast
as to finally overtake him. SO Mana
bozo turned upon him and, upbralding
him for his stinginess, transformed
him into grasshopper.
"That is the reason why the grass
hopper is always chewing tobacco.
Manabozo took the bagful of leaves
and distributed them among his
friends, the ancestors of the Indians of
today. Since then they have had the
use and enjoyment of the plant"
