EARLY TELESCOPES.

Il appears. according 10 facts collected by
Arthur Nee. that Thomas Harriet. the English
astronomer. born in 1850, made telescopes perhaps
6ontempo-aneous with the first Instruments Of
Calico. The very irst telescope seems to have
been made In Holland in 1908. The next year
Calico heard Of the discovery AMI after writing
for information began his own experiments In
the same year Harriet had one or two of the
Dutch telescopes sent him. and Immediately

The direct cause OF the murder and

CASTRO IS CONVINCED THAT
He IS ANOTHER NAPOLEON
Former President Of Venezuela
Leaves Paris for Country In
Which He Has Been De-
throned and Discredited

Paris.=Cipriano Castro, the former
president of Venezuela and the mem
bers OF his party left this city Thurs
day morning for Bordeaux
At the railroad station Senior Cas-
tro confided to a small group of Ven
ezuelan adherents and admirers his
intention of re-establishing his power
in Venezuela by revolution, should
this be necessary. After entering the
car, where he donned the gilt en-
broidered skull cap that has figured
in every description of Castro when
he was an occupant OF the yellow
house at Caracas, the deposed presi-
dent of Venezuela leaned from win
dow and spoke to his countrymen with
an earnestness and passion which left
no doubt in their minds that he was
convinced that he was another Ma
poleon returning from Elba to recon
quer his country.
Castro declared that his trip to
Europe had been misunderstood both
at home and abroad. He had come to
the continent not only because he
needed medical treatment, but also
to serve his country by interesting
foreign capital in Venezuelan indus
tries. He spoke bitterly of the
treachery OF Juan Vicente Gomez,
and predicted that those now In con-
troll OF the state would drive the coun-
try into bankruptcy.
In conclusion, Castro denounced as
lies the stories of his fabulous wealth
and said he was not even rich enough
to remain in Europe, where, further
more. life had no attractions for him
His impassioned nature, he explained,
yearned for activity and forced him
again into the tumult
