A WARNING TO TOURISTS

when you are abroad this sum
mer," said a tourist agent look out
for counterfeit money. In France and
Italy especially look out There are a
lot of small-souled French and Italians
who save up counterfeit money all the
year to dump lin the tourist trade in
the summer.
II said to look out, but really, that
Is impossible. An American tourist
has his hands full just to count foreign
money, with its centimes, and, lyras,
it's francs and its centesimi; and when
too often he is unable to count this
money, how can he detect counterfeits
in it?
Italy is the worst country, and it Is
safe to say that every tourist loses in
bad money there, one or two per cent
of all that passes through his hands.

q GREAT SWIM MER,

A remarkable swim by an eight
yer-old horse, says a Kildysart tele-
gram, is occupying the attention of
the local inhabitants. 1t apepars that
a farmer named Morgan Macmahon,
who lives on a small island in the es-
tuary of the Shannon, took the horse
by boat to the mainland and after
working it all day turned it loose In
the evening, with a number of other
horses. When the owner awoke next
morning, what was his establishment
to find the faithful animal peacefully
grazing near it's stable. 1t was wet,
as from a swim, and there is not the
slightest doubt that the horse had
swum all the way from the mainland
to the island, a distance of a little
less than three miles.

AS AUTUMN GENTLY COMES.

T, S, Van Dyke in Outing Maya
zine.-With the waning of summer
the woods become more silent. The
melancholy note of the cuckoo dies
away with August and the blue jay
tunes his jingling pipe less often
The ground robin still scratches mer-
rily on the ground but gone is his
CHEEKY greeting TO the morning light,
and gone, too, che sweet good night of
the wood thrush when twilight deep
ems after the evening shower. You
may still see the vermilion of the car
dinal grosbeak, yet hear no more his
melodious whistle from the tangled
thicket, while the black and white
carmine of his rOse-breastCd cousin
will be still more rare as his rich
notes fail in the darksome brake.
And suddenly an air of ripeness
steals over the great woods. The hop,
pouring it's clusters over the ironwood,
has little left to do but give the golden
tinge of autumn, while the black
seeds that glisten beside the gray
bark of the prickly ash look as if the
summers work were done.
The spots on the breast of the
young robin are running fast into red,
the young ravens glisten in the sun
almost as brightly as their mother,
and the young hawk that spreads his
wings against the blue shows a tail
as broad as that of the old one. Even
the brook wears a more finished air,
The silver fern that hangs over it's
edge looks weary as the water ripples

Let me say that belledom, summer
Or winter, costs, not only money, but
something besides money Suppose
we consider the outlay. Then I shall
ask you if you are willing to pay the
icost. Perhaps you are. for, without a
doubt, in your minds eye, my dear,
you can picture some young woman
whose successes make you long to
copy her if you might.
/ These laurels, Kathryn have their
price. Somebody pays; whether the

whom she has displaced; and although

But just let her get on the wrong

He makes both ends meet.

SOME GREAT TELESCOPES.
Observatory on Mount Wilson to Out
class All Others.

| One by one this country is equip
ping itself with group of the great
est observatories in the world. On the
summit of M~unt Wilson, a peak in
southern California, is solar obser-
vatory which will outclass any other
! designed for that purpose.
1t is under the patronage OF the
Carnegie institute at Washington. The
mention is to spend at least 100000
| on its equipment. Mount Wilson was
| selected as the site because the at
mosphere there was clear and tran
gull for a greater number of days than
any other place tested.
One of the most important subjects
of research will be he apparent de-
! crease in heat tradition from the sun
in the last few years. Another prob
! lem will be that undertaken by Pro
| lessor E. E. Barnard. WHO is not salts
! fed with the theory of the nebuiar
origin of the eartn and who will try
to deermine how much faih can be
put in the nebuIar hypothesis.
| The popular notion is that the as
| tronomer points his telescope direct
/ at the sn and fires his vision point
! blank across the chasm Of millions of
| miles. Instead, says a writer in the
| Ohio Magazine, the Grant sun rays
are lassoed by a coelstat-a great
| circular mirror driven by cIockwork
| in such a 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 mirrors move in automatic
adjustment to each other. so that the
solar beams may be shot into the
! building, no matter in what portion of
| the sky the sun may be situated. At
| the further end of the building the
! reflected sunbeam strikes a concave
mirror which catches the light, and
flashing it back toward the opening
whence it first entered focuses it into
a perfect image of the sun.
The greatest rejecting telescope in
the world is to be the climax of the
equipment of this observatory. A huge
tense five feet in diameter, eight
inches thick and weighing a full ton
is being perfected at the Mount viii.
son laboratory in Pasadena. To such
exact nicely must it's surface be ground
and polished it will require three years
to com 'ete it ready for mounting.
The glass in the rough costs 81 a
pound. With great patience and the
highest mechanical skill it is being
fitted for it momentous work.
When completed it will be trans
ported by an auto truck up the mar
row trail to the observatory and there
Will be mounted under a rotating
dome fifty feet in diameter With this
| monster eye it will be possible to
| penetrate farther into the depths of
space than by any other instrument
ever before designed by man.
Thousands of tourists from all parts
, of the world visit this observatory
every year. So great is the popular in
! terest in the work there it has been
decided to establish a museum of as
+ Economical photographs in connection
/ with the observatory to be open to
the public at all times.
