Surely. it is said, love must be a,
divine gift. and, when he loves, man
thinks himself the equal of the gods.
But what shall one say of the other

what he creates? He does not know

olympus among the gods.

What the soul creates is far more
sublime; it has no lmpurlty, no vice, no
weakness and lasts for centuries,
throughout human eternity. 1t is al
imperfect--tt may be criminal or al
consumptiye but the creature of tho
spirit is the light of lights, pure
force, not subject to any human weak
ness.
Not even the most frail spirit need

and that II carries within itself the
germs of Infinite power. 1t Is not
asthmatic, has no vile tendencies. it

which elevate 1t beyond earthly mat
ters.

something SO grand and so precipitous
that, one is tempted to believe the le-
Gend which tells that Il genius de-

What divine hours do not spend to-
gether two spirits when they har-
monte and create. Compared to this,
what is love which after all is moth
ing but an ntoXication of the senses?
Do we know what love is? This
subject Is still plunged in darkness,
but at all events 1t is a grave error
when all the literature of our times is
hased on and centred around love. Just
study Sophocles a little and you will
see how far more sublime is his con-
ception of happiness.
1t is strange that men of to-day seek
the whole drama of life where it is
not to be found. Our novels stop
where they ought to begin. 1t appears
that people to-day only care to read

The essential part Of any device for
the study Of the starry millons-the
suus. planets. comets and the nebulae
that are perhaps new worlds In the
making Is the lens or the optical train
that consists of series Of Lenses u
is this that makes the modern science
Of astrcuomy possible. There is abso-
lutely No other human occupation that
requires tl.a accuracy of observation
and the delicacy Of touch that are
requisite for the making of the finest
lenses. These are the most perfect
products Of human hands. 1t may
convey some idea Of the labor requir-
ed in the making Of a large lens to
say that at least one years time is re-
quired for the grinding and polishing
Of a thirty inch object glass. A little
lens two inches in diameter requires
the unremitting care and attention OF
skilled workman for two or three
days. 1t is easy, then, 10 see why il is
that even lenses Of high class photo
graphic work are costly. A forty inch
object glass for a large telescope can
not be made in much less than foHr
years cline. and II everything does not
go just right It may require much
longer than that.-Kansas City Star.
