The decision to demolish Mont Blanc
observatory, erected by the great as
trooomer Jansen. means the end OF
an ediflce almost as famous as the
mountain on which It stands. Mont
Blanc rises 1871 feet above sea level,
it's northeastern extremity lying within
4 region of perpetual snow, and as
the observatory was in danger Of be
ing buried completely 1t was decided
to demolish it and remove the valu-
able instruments.
Thousands of tourists have visited
the famous structure and hoped to see
It again. and .Alpinists deeply regret
the premature end of this edifice,
which appeared likely to stand for
ever In defiance Of storm and snow,
for it was welcome place Of refuge
after a fatiguing climb. Scientists also
will miss the fine opportunity for study
from this high altitude.
1t was in 1893 that the structure was
completed after many difficulties, over

turned to life, or, rather. the remnaRts
Of his Independence league have done
so. Characteristically the first words
Of the league after kicking on the
graveclothes were to ask for an Of
fee. Strangely, however, the Office de-
manded is not for Hearst, but for his
attorney. Clarence ]. Shearn. Those
who remember Shearn will recall him
as a young man with small body and
a large voice. Recently he has starred
in the Gould divorce case. Now the
cadaver of the league wants the fu-
sionists to give hin the district attor-
neyship If Shearn and Jerome both
run for district attorney there ought
to be splendid chance for somebody
else to be elected.
At last the anti Tammany forces are
making motions as If they meant to get
together. The Republican executive
committee has adopted resolutions that
have fusion sound, and the commit
tee Of one hundred, through its chair
man, has stated that 1t Is willing.
There are flocks Of smaller organiza-
tons that are DANGEROUSLY crying for
the same thing, but the big fellows
seem rather contemptuous Of these
and call them "adventists." l think
they do not include the Hearst organi-
zation among the adventists, probably
regarding 1t more in the light of resur-
rectionists. Anyway. If they will get
together we will overlook the names.

straight opposition ticket without scat

that in the event Of It's being covered

Peary's visit to Paterson FIVE years
ago as the guest Of Judge Scott that
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton became interested In move
ment to donate an American silk dag
to him.
The dag is not large, but 1t Is Of the
.dnest texture, and It was woven 30
that 1t could be rolled into very
small space. The weaving Of the flag
caused some curiosity In silk circles
at the time. but the probable use Of It
was not revealed until It was COM
pleted and turned over to the Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution. It
was presented to Peary on behalf OF
the society by the president general,
Mrs. Donald Mclean.
Commander Peary In thanking the
daughters for the dag expressed con-

them that the dag would be raised
