Like most great inventions which are
carried along for a considerable time
before anything like success is reached
II is impossible to find out who first con-
ceived the idea OF the telescope. Calico
must be credited with its invention, for
Il was this great Italian astronomer who
first made a telescope that was pracu-
cable. Calico. completed his first tele-
scope on February Il. 1909 and exhibited
It 10 a party of friends. but it was not
until the following May that he found
an audience of noted men who were will
ing to allow him to describe and exhibit
the instrument.
The invention OF a telescope was doubt
less accomplished in Holland Tradition
has II that about the beginning OF the
seventeenth century one Jansen, a spec
tacle maker Of BIiddleburg, Holland, con-
structed a telescope about sixteen inches
in length. and exhibited It to some MEM
bers Of the nobility, who paid him
sum Of money to keep It concealed, for
what reason Is not made clear.
Another spectacle maker, named Lip
penshey, made application. the year pre-
vious 20 Calico, for a patent for tele-
SCOPE. but the application was refused.
GalTleo's first telescope was similar in
form TO the modern opera glass, and as
first constructed had magnifying power

The Cooper Case Again.

We would not anticipate tho finding Of
the Supreme Court OF Tennessee IN the
Cooper cases now pending before that
August tribunal. but we venture 10 as
sert, nevertheless, that II will be a sad
day for the South that sees the murder
ers OF Edward Ward Carmsck 30 free
Of punishment for their offending, Il II
should ever come.
Carmack is dead and gone. In
Willingly. perhaps. the men responsible
for his passing did far more 10 perpetuate
the vanished statesman's Ideals Of
government than ever he could have done
in the flesh, The issue now is imper-
sonal largely. 1t matters little. relatively
speaking, whether the Coopers suffer cor
poral punishment or not-viewing the
problem IN its personal aspect, OF course.
Society at large will profit approximately
nothing per sc because OF their inearcera-
ton in a penitentiary somewhere for a
time But II does matter a great deal
whether the law is indicated and the
crime legally established. Therein lies
the point of vital concern to the South.
The idea is abroad that the Coopers
are invoking their so-called social
prestige" and all OF their political in
huence 10 avoid an unfavorable decision
In their cases. It is difficult to under
stand how any social standing can
righteoUsly excuse murder; It is equally
as difficult to understand how political
pull might justify II. Tennessee ought
to say most emphaticany that neither
shall prevail in that State. The $50
cial" bully is no more 10 be tolerated
than the political thug; both are
enemies OF good government and honest
peaceful, helpful existence.

influence availed him IN New York. There
IS Morse, and there is Walsh. We are
making progress along that line here
and there-gratirytng progress. Let Ten

Washington's Public Statues.

We are inclined TO think that the
proposition to supervise the character Of
the statues erected in the National
Capital. as contained in the bill which
has passed the House Of Representatives.
Is a good one, In the past there has
been entirely too little regard for the
symmetry and harmony OF these public
exhibitions Of the sculptors art. All
kinds OF statues. from the warrior on
his prancing steed to the private citizen
surrounded by an elaborate design IN
mosaic. have been erected here. and
while many OF them are worthy OF the
Capital. It is also true that some OF
them are not Of the highest or most
pleasing character.
The great trouble with the appearance
Of Washington is that It has developed
without any definite design. The original
plan Of rEnfant has happily saved it
from the incongruitles which mar other
cities, but even this plan suffered an
unfortunate departure when the city be-
gan to extend beyond the original limits.
The outstretching streets and avenues
followed irregular lines. and absolutely
no attention was paid 10 the creation of
parks and reservations. Many sections
Of the city. too, are marred by condi-
tons that might have been avoided by
wisdom in the past In addition to this.
the architecture of public buildings has
been largely a matter OF individual taste,
with the result that aesthetic effect has
been disregarded. The marble Municipal
Building is one Of the few examples of
artistic beauty combined with utility.
Washington WILL In the future. DO the
artistic city OF the nation. even as now
it is the literary and social center. It
is important. therefore. that we should
have the benefit OF all the expert advice
and judgment which the nation affords.
We desire most Of all a National Capital
which shall do credit TO our finer sense.

Suffragettes in Wrong Attitude.

London may enjoy the spectacle Of a
militant woman haranguing a crowd, but
New York has not reached that stage in
the fight for the ballot Judging from the
reception accorded Mrs. Sophia NJ. Loe-
binger at the Belasco Theater Wednesday
night, milder tactics VIII have more ef-
feet. At the close Of the first act Of
Just a Wife" being played by Charlotte
Walker, the New York surragette, who,
with a party Of friends. occupied a con-
spIcuous place in a lower box, arose to
address the audience.
Neither the stage management nor the
star knew Of the plans, and when Mrs.
Loebinger arose the applause and cheers,
due 70 the novelty OF the affair, were IN
derstood by the actors 10 be curtain calls,
and they responded seven or eight times
before they discovered the cause Of the
prolonged demonstration.
Within a few minutes after the woman
began her speech, pandemOnium reigned.
Long before she reached her first climax,
there were jeers and catcans from
all parts Of the house. Here and there
a single voice was hearL shouting,
Votes for women" but these si.-!'l calls
were drowned in the cries OF "Sis down"
and calls for the manager or playwright
The medley of catcaIs, Kisses, jeers,
and shrieks gave the speaker little op-
portunity TO denounce the American
drama as she intended. She believes in
the elevation OF the stage. and asserted
that If women could vote, the American
stage would be what It is not. has not
been, and never will be under the
present system Of allowing men to rule
the country.

to the credit of the cause it was hoped
to advance.

Bribery at Albany,

Hiram G. Moe, a Sunday schoo! super

has been made and the evidence is so
strong as 70 leave little doubt in the
minds of those present at the hearings

The case dates back 10 1901. when
the bridge companies had several bills

and ready to present. This one was high

trust. and was held in reserve as a club.
About this time. certain demands were
made. and the bridge people were not in
position to refuse, owing to the fear OF
the second bill being introduced in the
legislature The alleged bribery FOL

Moe admits he went to Albany with
three envelopes on which were written
The names Of three legislators. one en-
velope contained $4,000. while in each Of
the others was a $1,000 bill One Of the
envelopes, according 10 the testimony Of

sASza TO-DAY IN HISTORY
Invention of the TeIescope-February IL

Of three times, but this was subsequently
increased to thirty times. and the inven-
tor was able 10 discover the satellites Of
Jupiter, the mountains Of the moon. and
other celestial bodies.
To Kepler we owe the discovery OF the
principles of the astronomical telescope
with two convex lenses, and the discrip-
ton Of such an instrument in 1911.
At the time of Galileo's invention he
was a lecturer in mathematics at the
University Of Padua. His first telescope
was tested from the tower OF st, Mark,
in Venice During this same year he in
vented a microscope and a species Of
thermometer.
To Gregory is due the first description
of a telescope with a rejecting mirror,
and the instrument has since been known
by his name.
The largest telescope ever constructed
was that built for the Paris Exhibition
of 1900, by NJ Gauthier. The great tele-
scope Of the Yerkes Observatory, the
University Of Chicago, at Williams Bay,
Lake Geneva, Wis, is the largest tele-
scope with an equatorial mounting. The
Like Observatory telescope IS almost
equal In size. and here has probably been
done the most important work with this
instrument OF any observatory in the
world.

THE GREAT SPANISH sWINDLE.
How Many Americans Continue TO
Be Victimized by II.


Frum Leslie'5 Weekly.
Despite the warnings given out BY the
Department Of State at washington from
time to time against such frauds. the
Spanish swindIe cases continue, and re-
Gently these attempted frauds have IN
creased 10 such an extent that the State
Department receives several letters a
week from people who have either been
victimized by these schemers or who
have received letters from them. These
swindlers have preyed upon residents Of
the United States for more than twenty
five years. and have secured thousands
Of dollars from Americans. They are
located in various parts OF Spain Their
method Of procedure IS 70 write 90 some
person IN the United States respecting
the imprisonment Of a relative and the
guardianship Of his child. The stories
vary In detail, but the most common
one is that a distant relative OF the per-
son 10 whom the letter is written IS a
political prisoner from Cuba, who has
been in prison for several years. sent
there because he was accused OF using
funds belonging to tho Spanish Govern
ment TO aid the instruction in Cuba
Il is said that the Spanish government
has conhscated all his property which
could be found. but that there is still a
large sum Of money on deposit IN the
United States The certificate OF this
deposit. the letter states, Is hidden IN
valise IN an arbOr somewhere near
the prison. This communication is from
a supposed priest. who IS the ConfessOT
OF the prisoner. the latter being repre-
scented az very I'll at the writing and
suffering torture" as 10 the fate Of his
only child-a beautiful young daughter
VIII his beloved relative IN the United
States undertake the guardianship OF this
child, whose fortune is anywhere from
$50 900 10 sl00 Oo6? One-fourth Of the
amount to be given TO the relative who
become her guardian.
The whole scheme is presented in such
a plausible manner that Il per cent of
the recipients Of such letters send the
money, and In many instances people
have been known 10 mortgage their
homes 70 comply with the request Of the
swindlers. Several Americans have gone
in person to bring the daughter, only to
lose sight Of the priest after the money
had been paid; and in one case the VIC
tim received a letter after his return
home. telling him how much the sang
had enjoyed his money. It is generally
supposed that there are confederates in
the United States, who obtain names and
learn something Of the persons who gre
selected as victims for them.
Recently the Department Of State has
received a report on the subject from,
Consul General Hill, at Barcelona, who
has had the various cOnsuls Of Spain in
vestigate the swindles; and this activity
on the part Of our officials there has
caused the gang to change the story
somewhat, and now the imprisoned rela-
tive IS a noted banker OF Russia, who
absconded and fed to Spain for refuge
