The Sun and the Telescope.

The popular notion is that the as
trononer points his telescope directly
at the sun and fires his vision point
blank across the chasm OF millions OF
miles. Instead, says writer IN TN
Ohio Magazine, the errant sun rays
are lassoed by 4 coelestate-a great
circular mirror driven by clockwork
In such 4 manner that it throws Its
light into another mirror above. and
this in turn sends the long, concen
trated beam far into the interior OF
the telescope house. The two mir
rors move In automatic adjustment to
each other. so that the solar beams
may be shot into the building, no mat
ter In what portion Of the sky the sun
may be situated. At the farther end
OF the building the reflected sunbeam
strikes concave mirror which catch
es the light and. flashing 1t back to-
ward the opening whence 1t first en-
tered, focuses 1t into a perfect Image
OF the sun.

Foreigners often fall prey TO the
unscrupulous wiles Of the British cabby,
who basely takes advantage OF the
strangers want OF familiarity with
English idiOm, coinage and locality.
We have heard Of the intelligent for
eigner being driven about six statute
miles In u journey from London bridge
TO Charing Cross. That cabby got the
best OF the transaction, but a recent
attempt to impose upon foreign Gre
dulity was frustrated cleverly by son
of Gaul. whose taste for joking led him
10 try 10 bamboozle cabby into at
tempting II with him. He demanded
n exceedingly broken English to be
driven TO a certain place, the fare to
which was exactly a shilling. 1t may
be remarked that he really could speak
English as we'll as he could his moth
er tongue. On arriving at his destina-
ton he asked, still In a struggling fash
ion:
"Ow mooch ave to payT
give shilllngs," promptly responded
the cabby.
"And 'ow mooch Is 8 shillingsT

half crowns and laying them across his
palm.
Them threes right" said the cabby.
pointing to the coins.
"Ohr said the Frenchman. Then,

Tradss That Kill.

One OF the most dangerous OF trades
according to the Pilgrim, rs the cover
ing of toy animals with skin. chamois
leather being used. Tor instance, for
the elephants. calfskfn for the horse
and goatskin for the camels- This
covering must OF course ft without
n wrinkle to look natural. so the wood
en- model is first dipped into glue, thea
sprinkled with chalk dust: then tho
skin Is put on. The chalk Is so i1ne
that it fills the air and IL drawn Into
the throat and lungs. A year OF this
sort of work often results In death.
Another very injurious toy Is the rub
bcr balloon. The fumes and solvents
used in reducing sheet rubber to the
necessary thinness while retaining its
strength and the dyeing OF the Drill
liant yellows, green's and purple are
most Of them poisonous.
