GaIlleo's Telescope.

Very few people are aware that the
first practical telescope, which Calico
used in discovering the satellites Of
Jupiter in January. 1910, is still in ex-
istence and preserved at the Museum
Of Physics and Natural History in
Florence.
1t Is about 300 years since this In.
strument was first turned toward the
heavens. Unlike the present astronom-
zeal type. 1t had concave instead Of
a convex eye-piece. Just like the opera
glasses now in use.
When Calico first exhibited his new
telescope to the doge and an enthusi-
astic assembly on the tower Of St.
fIark's in Venice he was overwhelmed
with honors because 1t was thought
that the instrument would give the
soldiers and sailors Of the republic a
great advantage over their enemies.

Undoubtedly; they are necessary

Meleen frowned in perplexity. 1t
seemed as though it were costing him
far more trouble to leave his money
behind him than it had been TO amass
1t and guard 1t during his eyentful life.
Cant you fellers act?" he inquired
obviously at length-"you fellers"-in-

One, two hours passed, and save for
the steady. harshly rhythmical
''crunch-crunch' of the stamps" the
town below was strangely quiet.
Every soul therein knew that the
master-mind in the hillside eyrie was
passing away; hushed were the usual
sounds of rude revelry and wide

fateful night for the town of Meleen.
AT length MIR. Carboy's task was
done. A table was carried on to the
porch; by lantern-light the will was
read to the testator, who turned his
eyes to meet those of the lawyer in
mute approval when the reading was

TRAINING OF SEALS
old Circus Man Tells How Tricks
Are Taught.
Balancing tho Ball, Beating the Drum
and CymbaIs Are All Based on
tho Mature Of tho
Brute"

New York.-The mere spectator
usually thinks that trained seals are
the finest product of the circus me-
nagerie; but according to an old
trainer. 1t Is a simple trick to teach
them their feats. The cardinal prin-
ciple is, not to attempt to make an
animal do anything contrary to the
nature of its particular species. To
be successful, then, the trainer must
know enough about the habits of the
animals to enable him to fit the tricks
to their needs. He must not try to
make an elephant climb or lion play
the drum.
you begin with one seal. lot of
little pieces Of fish, and bit of
string. You let the seal sit on his
pedestal. which he likes to do by ma.
ture; then you throw him one of the
pieces of fish, and he naturally and
easily catches 1t.
Next you tie piece of fish on the
end of your string, and swing 1t to-
ward the seal, he catches that, too,
and swinging the reward to him from
an increasing distance. Now you are
ready to begin with the hat or cornu.
copia; placing and tying a bit of the
fish up in the tip Of it, you toss it to
the seal. He is dextrous by nature,
and his nose, detecting the fish up in
the cone, quickly seeks it. He bites
1t out and losses the cone aside. Be-
fore long he comes to associate that
cone with his loved fish, and he will
catch any number of similar ones.
and toss them aside when he fails to
find what he wants. That's all there
is to the trick, you see.
balancing the big rubber ball is
based on the same principle. The
ball is soaked in fishy brine. and
thrown to the seal. He gets the odor
and tries his best to get into the ball
and find what he's after. This re-
suits in his balancing the ball on his
nose, feat for which his quickness.

his supple. muscular neck and his
natural feeding habits are all adapted.
and then he gets his piece OF fish as
a prize.
The man working with seals
thinks to himself. What else do seals
do naturally. And the answer comes,
They like to slap and beat round with
their front flippers.' Here is the basis
for a good and effective trick. Down
on the side Of the pedestal on which
the seal is placed, an automobile horn
is fastened. or little drum. or tin
pan. The seal, in the excitement Of
being fed, slaps with his flipper for
all he's worth. and you can see that
with a few simple adaptations, such
as tying cymbal to the flipper, for
instance. a seal band is assembled and
sets the audience wild by its comic
and clever performance.

you are on the inside"

was the least bit of coquette. In

depths of those quiet gray eyes to
convince you that that here was a ma

So at least thought young Wilfrid
who certainly enjoyed the best op-
portunities in the world for knowing.
He was a pleasant, wholesome lad,
fair and florid. with light golden-brown
hair and mustache, slim and with
slightly stopped shoulders. A rather
weak face on the whole, one might
say, though perhaps this was partly
owing to rather querulous droop of
the mustache. which barely yelled the
sensitive mouth; beard would better
have hidden a chin which was far
too pretty for any mere man.
Had you guessed him to be clerk
or a bookkeeper you would not have
been far astray-one of those men
who make exceedingly valuable and
faithful servants but very poor mas
