A Floating Telescope.

At the Harvard university obserY-

tank of water. 1t is one Of the largest
in the world. the rejecting mirror be-
ing five feet wide. Mounted on a
watertight cylindrical steel float the
telescope swings in a concrete tank
full of water, only slightly larger
than the cylinder, which is designed
to fit it closely and serve as a pivot
for the telescope instead Of having 1t
mounted on a solid base.
Machinery at each side holds and
guides it. The water bears the weight

Boy Knew His Business.

A. r. Van Laer at the dinner given
to William NJ. Chase at the Arts club
on Wednesday evening. explained the
real significance and the efficacy of
Mr.. Chasc's fiat brimmed silk hat, a
hat which is as Well-known as the
Hammerstein's-if not in all of the
same circles. Mr.. Van Laer related
an early incident in which Chase per
ceived the value of that h~eadpiece,
and Van Laer had the support of Mrs.
Chase for its authenticity.
Years ago. Mr.. Van Laer said, when
Chase had left his house one morning
it occurred TO him that he ought to
send home some elaret. and he
stopped at a store and ordered some.
In due course the wine was delivered,
but the servant at the Chase house
declined to receive it, saying that it
must be a mistake as they needed no
claret there. The delivery boy insist
ed that .he was right, but the servant
was positive and u%nyielding. While
the argument was on, the boy, a
true son of America. not to say Of
New York. got his eye on n shining
example of the Chase hat inside the
house.
Does that hat belong here?" the
boy demanded.
The servant said that it did.
"Wel then, so does this claret!"
said Young America, and he left it.

fore Wang, that he might decide this
truly difficult case.

woman, which of these two men made
the better h%usband?'
Both are perfect husbands. my
lord Judge Yangki modestly replied.
so the judge told the men that
he would keep the woman by him for
a week, examining her thoroughly,
and a week hence he would decide the
case.

husbands came once more before the
judge. lie shook his head g~ravely and
said to them:
