TELESCOPES.
TIE Dfffsrcnee between hesecsfng
and RefraetinE Kinda.

A very pretty little experiment which
illustrates the two methods OF forming
an optical image and by way OF cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refracting and rejecting
telescopes may be performed by any
one who possesses a reading glass and
q magnIfying hand mirror. In room
that Is not too brightly illuminated pin
a sheet OF white paper on the wall OPP
posIte TO window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position OF the sun. Taking nrst the
reading glass. hold Il between the WIN
dow aud the wall parallel TO the sheet
OF paper and a foot or more distant
from the latter. by moving II 10 aud
fro n little you viii be able 10 find a
distance corresponding 10 the focal
length OF the lens, az which picture
OF the window Is formed on the paper.
This picture. or image. will be upside
down because the rays OF light cross
at the focus. BY moving the glass a
little closer 20 the wall you will cause
the picture OF the window 20 become
indlstlnct, while beautiful image OF
the houses, trees or other objects Of the
outdoor world beyond will be formed
upon the paper. We thus learn that the
distance OF the image from the lens va
ries with the distance OF the object
whose image is formed. In precisely n
similar manner an image is formed at
the focus Of the object glass OF re-
fractlng telescope.
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror. and, detachlng the sheet
OF paper from the wall. hold II nearly
in front OF the mirror between the lat
ter and the window. When you have
adjusted the distance 20 the focal
length OF the mirror. you win see Rn
Image OF the window projected on the
paper. BY varying the distance as be-
fore you VIII be able 10 produce ut VIII |
pictures OF nearer or more remote OBJ |

formed nj the focus OF the mirror OF a

Sketch of His Life.

Russell Sage, multi-milliOnaire and
Nestor of American financiers. was
born on August 4, 1916, in Verona,
Oneida county N. Y, where his par
ents. Elisha and Pendence Sage. mem
bers of a little company of pioneers
from Connecticut, had halted while on
their westward march in quest Of a
homestead. At the age of II years
Russell began his career as an errand
boy in the grocery store Of his brother,
Henry Sage, in Troy At the age OF
% he established a wholesale grocery
of his own in that place.
In 1857 the young merchant had ac-
ouired a fortune estimated at almost
$500. 900. a vast amount for those days,
and determined to retire from active
business life. He had however, al
ready become interested in railroads.
his first transaction of this character
being loan to the La Crosse Railroad
company, which led to further trans
actions. resulting in his acquiring
large interests in the roads now form
ing the Chicago & Milwaukee & st.
Paul system. of which he became vice
president. This determined Mr.. Sage
to devote his future energies to oper-
ating in Wall Street, and in 1863 he
opened his first Office in New York.
About this time he formed an asso-
citation with Jay Gould, which contin-
ued for many years. About 1872 Mr..
Sage originated the system of trading
in nuts" calls" and ''straddles." in
which he continued to deal thereafter
on a colossal scale. While he pur-
chased a seat on the New York stock
exchange in 1874, it is believed that
he never appeared on the floor of the
exchange.
Only once, it is said, did Mr. Sage
experience a tremendous reverse, which
would have crushed most men, blF
from which he emerged with courage
and confidence unshaken. This was
on the memorable day in 1884, wher
the great failure of Grant & Ward wal
announced, resulting in the loss to Mr.
Sage of about $6,OOO,0OO on a long lint
of puts"
His operations necessitated the pos
session of a vast amount of ready capi
tai, and Mr.. Sage always kept his re
sources so well in hand that in an!
emergency he was able to command al
most unlimited funds.
At the time of his death Mr.. Sag
was an officer and director in 25 grea
railway and telegraph corporations.
An incident which startled the whOl
country occurred in Mr. Sages Office
in the old Arcade building, n Broad
way. December 4. 1891 On that day h
was visited by Henry P. Norcross, c
Boston, a man of unbalanced lninI
who demanded an immediate gift {
81. 200, 900. When the demand was re
fused Norcross dropped a dynamii
bomb upon the floor, the explosion {
which decapitated Norcross, killed on
of the clerks and wrecked the who
Office. Mr.. Sage was only slightly il
iured by the explosion.
For many years Mr. Sage occupie
during the winter an old-fashione
brownstone mansion at 500 Fifth av'
nue.. from which. he was reluctant
compelled to move about four veal
ago. owing to the invasion of reta
stores, to number 6S2. Fifth avenu
