The leaders OF these missio"ai'!
branches OF the churches are DecohF
Ing some OF our most learned states
men in respect Of our proper Oriemai
policies"
Judge Taft, In discussing teachers
said that "their relation TO politics
and government Is OF the utmost I'm
portance, though indirect" He point
ed out that the professional teacher
may exercise great indirect polh ical
influence by the encouragement hat
he ought to give to the Young man
OF college age and life in the study
and pursuit of politics.
To the writer. in whatever capacity
he may labor, Judge Taft attributed
great influence, either for good or
for bad. Referring to the newspaper
press, he said: Its power OF public
instruction is very great; but when
1t panders to the vulgarest taste for
sensat ionalism and becomes entirely
irresponsible in it's influence for gOod
its perniciOus tendency is Obvlated
only by the power o. the people tol
protect themselves against ii by a
safe discrimination and healthy
SkeDticiSm. The close relation be-
tween journalism and politics. no one
who has been in the slightest degree
familiar with the course OF popular
government. can ignore. The unjust
color sometimes given through 1aun-
diced editors and correspondents mas
an injurious effect, but fortunately
such injustice is generally remedied.
Judge Taft paid :; high tribute t0I
the profession OF medicine. because
II had contributed to III" preservation
of the health OF all tn" people. He
pointed out that the profession had
been exalted by its great discoveries
and by Its assistance in ,iie expansion ]
of our government in the tropics and
in the construction of the Panama
canal.
After mentioning the great good
in actual results. accomplished by
many technical professions. Judge |
Taft considered in extent the profess |
sion OF law which he said rs in 4
wide sense the profession of the gov
eminent" He said that lawyers were |
often selected to carry on govern
mental work. because the executive !
faculty was a very marked attribute /
of the modern lawyer. While he
realized that there were defects and
weaknesses in the profession OF the
law. he regarded 1t as the most i'm
port ant in its relation to political
government. In conclusion, he said:
National eXigency seems to call
forth the men peculiarly fitted to meet
the requirements of the situation.
Such were Lincoln and Grant during
the great Civil War. Such was Wash
ington in the Revolution. the anniver-
sary of whose birthday this Univer-
sity appropriately makes its Com
mencement Day. He was not a law
yer or q doctor or a minister. He
was leader of men. His pure, dis
interested patriotism. his freedom
from small jealousies. his marvellous
common sense, his indomitable per-
severance and patience, and his Sc
Tenity and calm under the most try-i
fng circumstances, gave him the vic
tory-a victory which could be traced
not to brilliant genius or PROFESSIONAL
training but to that which. OF all
things, Is the most to be pursued and |
desired-to his high character as a !
man."

any man who ever entered the ring. He
would have Johnson half beaten before

Murphy is 40 years of age and weighs

manhood as Jeffries. Johnson is a friend

A LENSE.MAKING TRAGEDY.

Probably few persons took much in
terest in the announcement that a flaw
had been discovered in the great 100
inch lens for the Mount Wilson re-
fiecting telescope. To scientific men
this was no less than a tragedy, since
it means an expense of $4,000 n a
delay of a year, with the possibility
that the second effort will be no more
successful.
1t is doubtful if many persons aver
saw a rejecting telescope. When the
term telescope is used we naturally
think of an instrument with a long
"barrep' and lenses at each end. These
are the most common, but are not in
many cases the most useful. They have
defects which cannot be remedied in
our present state of knowledge, and
they have limitations put upon them
by nature which perhaps may never be
overcome. But the rejecting telescope.
consisting of a single lens placed hori-
zontally and without any barrel" is
in many respects the more useful in
strument for astronomers, although it
also has its drawbacks.
In this instrument the light falls di-
rectly on the ems and is reflected back
to a focal point, which is distant from
the lens according to it's diameter. 1t
is open to h objection that the light
reflected back interferes with the fall
ing rays, but ingenuity has overcome
much Of the disadvantage. The largest
effective instrument of his sort is at
the Yerkes observatory. but h one
planned for Mount Wilson is to be more
than twice as large and much larger
than that of Lord Rose. which was so
famous fifty years ago.
The difficulty In constructing a ems
more than eight feet in diameter arises
from the fact that the glass must be
absolutely iawless or as near so as
human skill a make It. To make
such a ems is a long, expensive and
difficult process, and many failures in
evitably result before success Is
achieved even for small lenses. If the

THE WORK OF THE
JEWS In PALESTINE.

The large Jewish immigration to
Palestine has included within recent
years many writers, scholars and other
professional men. This coterie has
placed itself at the head of the move
ment for furthering popular education.
Various courses of scientific lectures
are arranged in the larger cities on
general educational topics and on
special subjects, as, for example, the
hygenic and economic conditions of the
country. Cor the special benefit of inn
migrants.
In connection with these lectures
other courses are mapped out. There
are, for instance. classes where the
languages of the country are taught to
the immigrants. Much Importance is
attached to the teaching of Arabic, and
not for political reasons at that. out
mainly for practical purposes.
Another excellent means of education
is the Jewish public libraries. The lew
ish National Library stands in the first
rank. This institution, situated in the
beautiful new Jaffa suburb. was In
tended by its founder to conform to the
British Museum. However, this ideal
has up to the present time been only
remotely approached.
In addition to a very large collection
of Jewish and non-Jewish ancient and
modern iterature-the library pos
sesses over 10000 volumes-there are
many rarities. as, for example, various
manuscripts, reports and constitutions
of old societies, old appeals and topical
pamphlets, photographs and portraits
of famous Jews. miscellaneous carv-
ings, medallions, coins. antiques, etc.
which have been collected during the
twelve years of the library's existence.
1t has also a reading-room. which Is
well supplied with magazines and

PIRATES SELL GILL TO
MINNEAPOLIS CLUB,

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 15.-The Pitts
burg Baseball Club yesterday completed
a deal with Manager Mike Cantillion, of
the Minneapolis team, whereby for a cash
consideration Warren Gill, the long first
baseman from Oklahoma City. will play
with Minneapolis. The deal has been on
for some time. and it was not until Man
ager Fred Clarke gave his consent by
letter that President Dreyfuss would let
the big fellow go.
this move should have been made. Gill
was last season sent to Grand Rapids, but
it was not long until he was sent for and
made quite a hit by the way he handled
himself in the hard, fast games for the
Pirates. He played twenty-five games in
the league without an error. 1t is given
out that Abstein will play first base for
Pittsburg the coming season.
