THE TELESCOPE.
GaIiIefs Rude instrument the First
Used In Astronomy.

CALLERS Rude instrument the First
Used In Astronomy.
The first telescope was pointed to-
ward the sky on Jan. 7. 1910, when
Galilei first tried his rude instrument
and was rewarded by discovering some
Of the moons of Jupiter No great
magnifying power was needed for this.
as at least one of the moons IL large
enough to be seen by the naked eye
did not the. nearness of the brilliant
planet prevent this. Lenses had been
known for long time and were at
that time in common use by near
sighted persons.
The name of the real discoverer OF
the telescope seems to be unknown.
but the accepted story now Is that
two young sons of Nfiddebury op'
hcian named Lippersley some time
between 1905 and 1908. while playing
with some lenses. happened to hold
two of them at distance from each
other and were surprised and delight
ed to find that the weather vane on
nelghbOring tower seemed to come
near them when looked ut through the
two lenses. In April. 1909. a little
telescope made in Holland was offered
for sale In Paris.
The next month Galilei. then a pro-
lessor IN the university at Padua.
heard Of this instrument aud realized
at once its Importance In the study OF
astronomy. From the description OF
the Dutch instrument he had one
made at once. and In August he as
founded the people Of Venice by show
ing them from the top Of the cam
panile persons entering the doors OF
the church at Murano. This spyglass
was less than two inches In diameter
and magni1ed three times. From this
crude instrument Of Galllei TO the
monster telescopes forty inches In
diameter of the present day is the de-
velopment of only three centuries

THE UMPIRE.
Did You Ever Hear the Fans Cheer
Him For Hls Work.

There Is one unique phase connected
with the life Of the umpire which per-
haps has never occurred to most low.
ers of baseball. You have often been
TO a theater and seen the hero or hero
ine-yes. even the villain-win round
after round Of applause for some ex-
cellent bit Of acting.
You have been to football game
and heard some ball gladiator cheered
to the echo for making long run that
resulted In a touchdown or for a fly.
ing tackle that prevented imminent
defeat. When some player is injured
they convey their sympathy to him by
cheering his name.
You have been to ball game and
heard the fans cheer some crack
pitcher because in pinch he famed
some mighty batter. It's just the nat
ural way Of the American to show adj
miration and appreciation.

Der a time when the umpire drew ap-
plause for his work. Have you ever
heard. the fans cheer the name OF the
umpire after he has worked fifteen
inning game which fairly bristled with
close and unusual plays and got away
without kick? IL you can recall such
an incident. just dot 1t down In your
notebook that you were present at a
very. very unusual happening.
Do they cheer the umpire's name
when he stops foul tip with his shin
or has swift shoot bounced Off his
mask? Yes. they do-not. Any Injury
to the umpire usually gets round OF
derisive laughter from the crowd.
Generally. If he has been going bad.
some leather lunged individual re-
quests that he be killed or chloroform-
ed. OF course there are many people
in the stands who sympathize with the
umpire. Their sympathy is usually
silence. That isn't much balm to his
injury or feelings.
Applause would sound so strange to
an umpire's ears that he would proba'
bly, become 30 thoroughly frightened
he would Jump the back fence.-Billy
Evans IN New York Tribune.

Look Pleasant, Please.

Why is it that most people, as
they walk along the streets, have|
such an unpleasant expression! III
one will observe casually the peo-
pie he meets in day he will be
impressed with the pain and sullen
and disagreeable countenances. We
live in a rush, and the average per-
son is bent on some errand, OF
business and is absoyb bed in that;
we are all rushing to get something
or somewhere. With this absorbing
our attention we haven't time to
attend to facial expression. We
are not sure however, that this is
a matter of permissible indifference.
If one does not believes that his
countenance adds to or detracts
anything from the lives or express
ions of Others let him pause for
moment before the now celebrated
"Billikin,". It's almost impossible
to look at the little imp and not
smile. The japanese teach their
maj DIS in the hotels, and those also
in the walks of life, the art at sml-
ling. They are compelled to prac-
tice before mirror. One can not
stan long in Japan without being in
oculated with the disposition to
"look pleasant" The "look pleas
ant, please" of the photographers
goes deeper than the photograph
plate.
No one wants to associate long
with an animated vinegar crult. A
disposition is easily guessed from
the angles of the corners OF the
mouth, disposition is moulded by
compelling those angles to turn up
or down. If a merry heart maketh
a glad countenance it is also true
that glad countenance maketh a
merry heart-in the one who has 1t
and in the one who beholds it.
