MARTYRED TO BUSINESS.
Greenwich Observatory Is Ruined
 by a Great Power House.

Greenwich Observatory Is Ruined by a Great Power House.
 Every American schoolboy can tell something about the Greenwich observa-
 tory, whatever may be the ignorance
 of adults on the subject. The fact that
 this observatory is rapidly losing Its
 efficacy has, therefore, more than a
 mere academic interest.
 The observatory is being put out of
 business on account of the fact that
 some time ago the London County Council established great power
 house north of the observatory. This plant, with It's tall chimneys, pours
 forth volumes of smoke and heated air which render meridlonal observation of
 stars difficult and untrustworthy. Not
 only this, but the vibration of the ma
 chlnery seriously interferes with some
 of the most delicate apparatus in the
 observatory, notably the quicksilver re fectors. The Astronomer Royal, after
 appealing In vain to the London County
 Council, has now presented his case
 to the British admiralty with the
 promise of immediate action.
 Curious as 1t may seem, the average
 Londoner but vaguely realizes that the
 observatory loses much of Its useful
 ness if the atmosphere surrounding It
 be smoky or heat-laden and Its founda-
 tions subject to vibrations. The mtrid-
 ional observation of stars Is of funda-
 mental importance. But of even more
 importance Is the necessity for having the quicksilver present a true horizon
 more delicate way happens at the ob- servatory happens on the surface of a
 pool. which. distrubed by the breeze, gives inaccurate reflections of the moon and stars. The thickness of single strand of spiders line In the original
 observations may work out to very serious errors of time or distance In the final results; and the surface of the quicksilver at the observatory Is
 now constantly rippled by the vibration
 of the London County Councils plant The observatory Is one of the great
 British traditions and has shed luster
 upon the English name wherever as tronomy and theoretical or practical
 geography and navigation are studied.
 It guides every ship that sails the
 ocean; on Its accuracy depends the To-
 cation of every danger that the mar liner has to avoid; and to 1t British scientists owe investigations which, perhaps more than any others, have tended to make Great Britain the world power that she Is. And yet, now
 that Greenwich observations are losing their usefulness, the London County Council, few members of which could probably give an ineligible account of Grenewich Mean Time, Is resenting the fact that the admiralty considers the tranquility of the observatory as of
 more importance than a great electrical plant which supplies electricity to the municipality.-New York Times.

An old farmer was talking Of nIs boy. hood to a group of young people not long ago. It had been lived-that far away alphabetically In the last cen tury, in a country place remote from towns. He described Its meager condl- tions-the houses, In which such things as "convenlences" had never been clothing. the scanty schooling. the few holidays; no magazines. almost no books, no entertainments or sports ex- cept an occasional sleighing party; no "junketings," no celebration of Christ mas or New Year, no vacations from work. Nothing that you young folks have today" he finished, except weather and other folks; but tell ye," a flash kindled in the faded eyes and the fine old head lifted proudly, 'I tell ye, folks cared jest as much for life in those days as they do now" Weather and other folks" and the opportunity of living-the great universal gifts to all mankind through all the ages. They stand like mighty mountain peaks, steadfast and unchangeable among all the changing philosophies, civilizations, powers. Sorrows come often, and sick. ness and defeat; there are lives eaten by poverty and dwarfed by constrain- ing circumstance, yet to every life these three things are given-the joy of sun shine and blue skies, the cheer and comradeshlp and inspiration of other lives pressing upon his, the opportunity
 to hope and dream and do battle, to learn daily more of himself and his fel- low man and God All over the coun- try are eager young people looking for chances" to do, to learn and be. This Is as 1t should be If only the longing means watchfulness, not dscontent
 Chances" come only to open doors
 But while he is waiting let every eager soul remember that the three great gifts
 are his already to use or to neglect nature and folks" and the privilege of living

Too old to Learn.

One of the students In an Eastern university, wishing to turn an honest penny during his vacation, decided to introduce a new and popular cyclopedia into the country districts. Needless to say, he had many queer and amusing experiences. At one place he found an old farmer working in the fields.
 "I'd like to sell you new cyclope- dia," said the agent
 "Well, young feller," said the farm. CT, "I'd like to have one, but I'm afeerd I'm too old to ride the thing"

SIMPLE GREENBAck SALAD.
Buying S3OO,OOO Apartment House
 Small Matter to Hotel Chef.


 Small Matter to Hotel Chef. Catering to the gastronomic fancies of New York City Is certainly a profit able employment, if the records of the real estate exchange are to be believed, says the New York Herald. Accord lns to them, Gustave Becker, chef of the Holland House, purchased from the Germania Life Insurance Company two | elevator apartment houses at 3O6 and sos West 94th street Mir. Becker paid $500, 900 for the property. When asked to talk about himself and tell how be accumulated so much ney while devislng dishes with which to tickle the palates of patrons of the hotel MT. Becker took refuge behind modest reserve which could not be broken down.
 Tt Is such a small matter, this buy ing Of house or two," he said. Why should I speak of It? It Is not as if had never before bought property. Part of this hotel is mine, and then own the house In which I live. "So many can make money that 1t Is no great credit for cook to do the same. Other chefs have accumulated fortunes and there has not been so much talk about 1t. It Is enough that I have been fortunate and can pur- chase a bit of land and houses when see a bargain"
 It was learned that Mir. Becker for some time has had a considerable in- terest in the hotel where be Is en- ployed. The chefs ability to find bar. gains in real estate is not unknown to dealers, and 1t is said be knows as much about profitable localities as he does about the last delectable sauce piQuant.
 MT. Becker admitted with a show of nonchalance that he owns the fine apartment house at 204 West 94th street, where he has lived for a long time. He seemed surprised that It should be considered unusual for a chef to own a home in a fine reslden- | tial district

He was informed that 1t was only sold in six penny packets. He looked long and lovingly at his six pence, and then said: "Then Aw'l no commit suicide the noo."

Cooking Dried Fruit,

Dried fruits should be washed scru. pulously clean, then soaked over night In clear, cold water, in which they should be stewed with sugar the next morning. Enough water should be al. lowed to make large quantity of juice, as that is what makes dried fruits ap- petizing.

Cherries and walnut.,

A delicious salad was recently served at country house luncheon. Cherries were stoned and the cavities filled with English walnut meat. Then they were covered with French dressing and left on the ice for three hours. Just before serving the fruit was drained, filled into nests formed with lettuce leaves and dressed lightly with oil and vine. gar.

If possible, use only the hairy kind line dish with paste and lay in the fruit; cover thickiy with sugar, and put on a. top crust; place in a moderate oven; at the end of an hour 1t will be done; but 1t is an excellent idea to open the oven door and let 1t remain until cool; by doing so the berries will turn red.

prODerly Rolled Meat.

To boil meat so as to retain the juices
and soluble salts and yet cook it suf-
ficiently it should be plunged into boil
ing water and boiled rapidly for about
ten minutes. After this fast cooking
the kettle must be pushed over to the
back of the fire. where it's contents will
simmer gently. This tends to coagu-
late the outer rind of the meat so that
the juices cannot escape. If meat is
treated in this manner the inside will
be found juicy and tender, but If the
meat is allowed to boil it will be found
hard and chippy, the goodness having
all boiled out of it.

Deletraz Will Case Decided.

HELENA, April 1.-THE supreme

Cascade county, to prevent his hear

old.time resident OF northern Mon
tana and died 10 San Francisco, making
a will there in favor of a San Francis.
co man with whom he had become &C.
quainted a short time previous TO his
death.
Relatives ia Chouteau county com.
menced a contest against the will, al.
leging undue influence and fraud, and
Judge Leslie of Great Falls. was called
in for the hearing by Judge Tattan.
One of the allegations against the
San Francisco will was that it was q
forgery, and some sensational devel.
opments were promised. A previous
will had been made by DeletraZ in ia
vor of a relative in Benton and an
other in France, but the San Francisco
people had their will admitted to pro.
bate there, and presented it here, hold
ing it to be conclusive evidence, and
alleging lack of jurisdiction on part
OF the courts here. A temporary writ
of prohibition IA granted. The su-
preme court has held that the lack OF
jurisdiction point was we'll taken, and
that contest against the San Francisco
will might only be admitted in the
state of California. The decision in
etfec, will probably settle the case, as
the Montana heirs are not likely to
pursue the matter further. George II.
Stanton, of Great Falls, was attorney
for the Montana heirs, and F.. f.
Stranahan, of Benton, for the Frisco
man. The amount of money involved
is problem atical, and runs from fou,
to ten thousand dollars.
