Among the newest strange gifts Mrs.

TO the secretary of agriculture, who will
have them cared for in the tea farms
OF the Carolinas which are under the
supervision of the department.
Lady Mimic distributed the diplomas and
prizes at the recent commencement eXer-

Women. In her address she said that she
had been much impressed by the graduates
Of the school in Canada and India, as well
as In Great Britain. As president of the
National Society for Providing Medical
Aid for Women in India she had come into
close touch with women physicians. many

Yes, when everything Is satisfactory
has the reader ever tried It? We think
not for It takes a long time and infinite
patience before everything is satisfactory.
Cobweb is extremely delicate. The least
false movement will tear the thread. Re
moving the loose ends may ruin two or
three neighboring threads. Patience, try
again. Sometimes the final drop of shellac
may be too wet with alcohol and may so
affect the threads as they curl up and stick
together. Unraveling then is almost sure
disaster. Flies must not witness the york,
for they may spoil the threads directly as
well as indirectly by annoying the operator

chandise may be endangered by the neglect

long bow when / tell them that a sixteen
hundred-dollar instrument was thrown
completely out Of use for the want Of
cobweb! Yet. it was a sober fact. and
was painfully in evidence to me no less
than to some students OF mine, one Of
whom had come $50 miles principally in
order to use this instrument. 1t was about
as serviceable to US as its picture would
have been: and all that on account of an
accident TO the cobwebs it contained. Let
me explain the mystery.
The Wires or Threads in a Telescope.
II the reader has ever looked through a
telescope that was on a measuring instru-
ment such as surveyors transit or level,
aiN win ohlNig nave seen IN IL AT least TWO
fine black lines crossing each other at
right angles one being vertical and the
other horizontal The object of these lines
is to enable the observer to direct his
telescope very accurately upon a given OBJ
ject, or conversely, 20 find the object his
telescope is directed TO when it is adjusted
by means of its levels or circles The
whole round picture seen in telescope is
called its field Of view. AS this is Of some
considerable size and shows quite a num-
Der Of objects, 1t would be impossible to
know which OF these objects the telescope
was directed to. unless we had these fine
lines to point 1t out to us.
a telescope. as we probably know, con-
sists essentially OF at least two lenses, one
at each end OF tube. each lens being IT.
self a compound Of two or more simple
or elementary ones. The lens nearest the
object looked at Is called the objective, and
is always the larger Of the two. This lens
forms near the other end OF the tube an
image of the object, In exactly the same
manner that Photographic camera does.
In fact, as far as the objective is con-
cerned. there is no difference between a
telescope and a camera, both have the
same kind OF an objective mounted at one
end Of a tube or box. the first havine
generally cylindrical or oonverging tube

Plan Of Transit Micrometer The
framework A. which carries the reticle. Is
moved in the box by means OF the
screw S. which has a hundred threads or
turns 20 the inch. The nut. head or drum
c Of this screw is divided into a hundred
parts, tenths Of which are Indicated by the
pointer N. In this way one-tenth Of one,
hundredth of one-hundredth, that IS, one
hundred thousandth OF an inch can he
measured. The reticle Is moved slowly by
turning the milled head D. which forms
one piece with the drum c and the shank
z. Turning the shank Z moves the retlcle
rapidly across the field. r r are two rods

there was, ought to be laid upon the in
strument maker. who should have pre-
vented such a possibility. II IL was the
students, he nobly made amends for 1t by
spending a whole week upon the new reti-
Gle, and finally delivering one in every
respect as good as the one he had injured.
Some makers use ruled glass. But the
glass intercepts some light, and may be-
come soiled by age or dust. when 1t would
be difficult to clean. Whatever its ad-
vantages may be. it could not be used in
our instrument on account of its peculiar
construction. as it's maker himself per-
sonally affirmed. l have never yet found
anything superior to common SPIDERS web.
Uses of n Rccttcle.
The spider lines in a telescope serve also
other purposes besides merely indicating
the center Of a field of view by means of
simple cross. When there are many
wires as there are in every astronomical
transit the exact fraction Of second that
star crosses them is carefully noted.
Knowing the intervals between the threads
we can reduce the observed transits to the
middle wire and thus practically have as
many chances at the middle wire as there
are threads in the field

go as to have a small field of view. and
the second a diverRing or expanding box
so as to have a large field of view.
In the Photographic camera we place
sensitized plate where we can see tho
image of the object on the ground glass
and thus secure this image by the pho
tographic or chemical action of the film.
A photographs telescope is purely and sim
ply a Photographic camera, only that 1t is
generally longer, that is, has a longer
focus and thus gives larger picture.
In a visual telescope the image is looked
at through an eyepiece, which is the second
OF the two lenses we mentioned before. and
derives its name from the fact of its being
nearest the eye of the observer. This eye
piece is a magnifying glass in principle,
and makes the image look larger. 1t Is
often easily removable and replaceable by
another, which has a different magnifying
power, so that one may examine the object
he is looking at under various degrees of
magnification. The higher the power, the
fainter is the image. because the eyepiece
receives only a definite amount OF light
from the objective. and the more the image
is magnifed the more the light is spread,
so that the highest powers of a telescope
can seldom be used to advantage except
on bright object and in a clear sky.

1t is notable, too, that those who
