A FLAW IN THE LENS. J
The Loss of Time and Money involved
In This Scientific Trsoedv.

In This Scientific Tragedy.
Probably few persons took much in
tcreSt in the announcement that n flaw
had been discovered in the great 100
inch lens for the Mount Wilson reflect
ing telescope. To scientific Inen this
was 10 less than Il tragedy. since ii
means an expense of 100000 and Il de
lay of Il year. with the possibility lhat
| the second effort will be no more sue
ccssful.
1t is doubtful if many persons ever
saw Il rejecting telescope. When the
term telescope is used we naturally
think of an instrument with a long
"barrel" and lenses ut each end. These
nre 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 r~1lrctiMg telescope.
consisting Of Il single lcls placed hori-
z|ontally and without amy "harrpl," is
in many reapects the mere useful liz
strument for astronomers. although it
also has It's ~GraWNackS.
In this Instrument the light falls di-
6>ctly on the lens and is reflected back
to a focal point. which is distant from
the lens according to lis diameter. II
is open 10 the objection that the light
reflected back intcrfprcS with the fall
ing rays. but ingenuity has overcome
much of the diSadvanta@e. The largest
effective instrument of This sort is at
the Yerkes observatory, but the one
planned for Mount Wilson is to be
more than twice as large and much
larger than that of Lord Rossp. which
was so famous fifty Years ago.
The difficulty in constructing a lens
more than eight feet i'll diameter arises
from the fact that the glass must he
absolutely tawless. OF as npar so as
human skill can make it. To make
such Il lens is 4 long. expensive and
difficult process, and many failures in
evitably result before success is
achieved even for small lenses. If the
100 inch lens is finally turned ont nor,
mally perfect. We shall have an in
strument which will greatly add to
our knowledge of the universe about
us. It is an interesting fact in this
connection that for several generations
the best glass has beer made in
France. but the best workmanship in
grinding the lenses is done in this
country. The latter work is so deli
cate and difficult that it requires al
most Il sixth sense to accomplish any
thing like desirable results.-philadel-

WELFARE HINTS
Little Things That Need to Be
Looked After.
HOW LOCAL PAPERS CAN HELP

BY Keeping Awak Civic Pride and
Promoting Beneficial Innovations.
Care to Be Exercised In SeIectinq
Town Officials.
Local papers are wonderful instru-
ments in the progress of a town. The
editor can do much more than the
average citizen in keeping awake civic
pride and promoting innovations that
are for the good of the community.
He is the former of public opinion.
He can direct the thought channels
along right lines if he will. He should
be one of the most interested citizens
IN the welfare of his town. The bust.
ness success of merchants and of all
interested in the place is important to
the local editor. His own success will
be commensurate with the advance
ment of the general interests of the
place.
ability of officials of a town result in
injury to a place. a city council COM
posed of "mossbacks" can keep a
town from progressing, says the Agri-
cultural Southwest. Too much care
cannot be exercised by the people in
the selection of town officers. There
Is no reason why the affairs of n
municipality should not be conducted
along as sound lines as are the affairs
of a successful business concern.
Few farmers realize how much their
interests are affected by the activity
of the town nea which they live. Ev-
cry armer should be as much inter.
ested in the doings of the townspeople
as the residents Of the place. He is
one of the supporters of it's business
institutions, its schools and its public
institutions in general, and he should
feel that the interests of the towns
people are his OWL interests. Too often
just the opposite feelings are manifest.
The farmers look upon the residents of
the towns as enemies, the merchants
as b~loodSuckerS and u class that live
off the farmers. This is not the
casn. 1t is a narrow view to take. The
merchant is entitled to his small per-
centage OF profit which his business af-
forIs. as is the farmer to Il profit from
what he produces.
The residents Of q community are
entitled to demand Of merchants that
they be progressive and keep their
stocks up to the standard that trade
demands. Back number merchants are
a detriment to any place. Business con-
ditions are gradually changing. There
is progress all along the line, and the
merchant who fails to keep abreast of
the procession should get out of bust
ness. He is not much good to himself
and a bugaboo to the other progressive
merchants of a place.
Farmers these days are tue best in
formed classes. Were the farmers of 4
quarter Of a century ago to combat all
the problems that are to be taken into
consideration now it is doubtful wheth-
err they could succeed. Farming is diff
ferent; science has become a part of
agriculture. and he who does not keep
up to date must make place for the
more progressive.

CIVIC BEAUTY FACTOR.
Unity of Effort an Important Need In
Town Improvement.

Wy oi h'Po GiS INCSo w
Town Improvement.
Violations of community designs by
individuals are not usually the result
of positive desire to mar the best APP
pearance of the general neighborhood.
They are more the result of the alb
sence of a general scheme. With q
lack of any plan which is common to
the interests of all the individual can
do no better than go ahead and i'm
prove as he thinks best his individual
place without knowing what his neigh
bors may do Or whether his method
may conform to theirs. For this rea.
son some form of organization for
unity of effort is desirable if the best
results are TO be attained.
Those towns which have accom-
plished the most In the way of civic
beauty are not the mes which have
spent the most money. but are those
which have established an organized
effort for town improvement. The most
important step toward making any
town more beautiful is unity Of effort.
In a certain the Improvement of
a town becomes a public affair. 1t
embraces the interests of the whole
community. The town becomes the
unit. 1t should be a united picture of
definite design. The individual homes
become only parts Of a general scheme.
Those parts should be made in har-
mony with the general scheme. At
least there are certain factors con-
nected with each home which neces-
sarily bears a definite relation to the
beauty of the whole town.

Olympic games in England. when the
Italian had fallen and Hayes. the
American, had Won, several more
Americans came in, pretty fresh. then
some runners of other na%tionalities,
and finally an Englishman arrived.
The Americans were very sore over
the treatment they had received; they
had heard nothing for days but boasts
that an Englishman could win the Mar

finally did appear way back in the

AN exhibit that much curios-

ular History. New York. is Il model OF
the solar system. formed of electric
light bulbs moving upon almost invisi-

been improved. The sun is now req

of the orbit of Mars are included in
the large foyer on the ground floor.
Parts of the orbits of Jupiter and

Far Sounding Steamboat Whistle.

What kind OF sound travels %farthest?
A discussion of that question the other
evening resulted in Il unanimous YER
dict finally being returned in favor of
the steamboat whistle. one instance be-
ing given by a man from western Ken
lucky who had heard Il steamboat on
the Ohio whistling for Il landing when
he was eighteen miles away from the

steamboat whistle seem to make the

could tell but that their young charge
