Canadian Government Soon to
Have Powerful instrument.
Referred to as "The Largest TeIe-
scope In the World" and viii
Cost Nearly s1oo,ooo-Its Lo-
cation Not Yet Determined.

Ottawa, Can.AThe Canadian gov
eminent will soon possess a more
powerful rejecting telescope than any
now in existence. 1t has been re-
ferred to in the newspapers as the
largest telescope in the world" but
this description is misleading for two
reasons; first, because its aperture,
u inches, is to be the same as that
Of the famous Parsonstown reflector,
built by Lord Rosse in 1912; and sec
ond, because by the time the Canadi-
an instrument is completed it now
seems likely that the 100-inch refec-
tor which has long been under con-
struction for the Mount Wilson Solar
observatory will also be ready for
use. The Canadian telescope will.
however, be a much more efficient in
strument than Lord ROSES. Not
only will the mirror be much su-
perior, but the mounting will enable
the telescope to be worked to the full
advantage. The Parsonstown reflec-
tor has an altazimuth, not an equa-
torial, mounting and is operated I'M
der such difficulties that comparative
ly little use has ever been made of
1t.
Contracts for the new telescope
have just been awarded to J. Bra
shear for the mirrors and other OPP
teal parts, and to Warner & Swasey
for the mounting. y The disk for the
principal mirror will be made by the
st. Gobain glass works, in Paris, but
all the grinding and figuring will be
done in this country. The total cost
will be nearly one hundred thousand
dollars. Inasmuch as the instrument
is intended primarily and VIGOROUSLY
for work Of no immediate practical
benefit, viz, the spectrographic meas
urement of radial stellar velocities,
this sum represents a very notable
contribution to pure science on the
part of a government.
The telescope will have a p~arabolic
mirror of " inches, clear aperture and
80 feet focal length, with a central
hole ten inches in diameter. The
mounting is to be similar to that Of

PROBABLY SET HIM THINKING
Tailor Learned in Unexpected Manner
Just How He Looked to the
Wholesale Firm.

Samson. a country tailor, visited a
large Wholesale warehouse in the city
and ordered a quantity of goods. He
vas politely received and one of the
principals showed him over the estab-
lishment. On reaching the fourth floor
the customer saw a speaking tube on
the wall. the first he had ever seen.
What is that?" he asked.
"0h, that is a speaking tube. It is
a great convenience. We can talk
with it to the clerks on the floor
without taking the trouble of going
downstairs"
Can they hear anything that you
say through it,"
Certainly"
The visitor put his mouth to the
tube and asked:
Are Samson's goods packed yet?'
The people in the Office supposed it
was the salesman who had asked the
question and in a moment the distinct
reply came back:
mo. We are waiting for a reply
from his banker. He looks like a slip

side and nearly midway between the
bearings of the long polar axis, the
balance being restored by the declina-
ton motion mechanism and by coun-
terweights at the other side. Both

ried entirely on ball or roller bearings,
In place of the usual plain bearings
for collimating and a complicated sys-
ten of counterweighted rollers for re-
will also be simplified in otherrespects.
e. g., all fine circles will be omitted,
as will the slow motion arm in right
ascension. 1t is characteristic Of
twentieth century technique in astron-
omy that, although the new telescope
will have a full set of oculars for Wis
ual observations, no program of visual
work is contemplated. Nowadays the
camera takes the place of the human
retina. The main purpose Of the
instrument will be the measurement
of motion in the line of sight of
stars fainter than the fifth magni-
tude; a task beyond the light-gath-
ering power of nearly all existing
telescopes. For such work the tele-
scope will generally be used in the
~Cassegrain form; the light from the
main mirror, converging toward a TO-
Gus, will be received by a second n.y.
periodical mirror of about nineteen
inches aperture and ten feet focus,
placed about twenty-three feet above
the main mirror. The light passes
thence down through the hole in the
main mirror, apd the star images are
formed about three feet below the lat
ter. Here the s~pectrograph will be
placed. For the fainter stars of low
dispersion the spectrograph will prob
ably be placed at the prime focus. An
investigation of the atmospheric con-
ditions in different parts Of Canada is
now in progress, to determine where
the telescope will be located.

MOST VALUABLE OF TREES

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world the Ganter acgua-
cate, also popularity called the Ganter
avocado nd alligator pear tree, was
planted at Whittier, Cal. In 1905, by
A. r. Rideout 1t bore fruit at four
years of age. When FIVE years old 1t
produced crop OF 1900 pears. Dur
ing the year 1912. seven years after
planting, the Ganter tree bore over
5000 pears which sold at from IS to
81 dozen. totallng in all, $1,000.
Budding wood from the tree, sold at
ten cents bud the same year,
brought S1,70G, so the total revenue
of the tree for the year amounted to
the phenomenal sum of s3,206.
The Ganter tree was named after A.
M. Ganter, who once owned the ranch
on which the tree is planted. 1t is a
Seeding, the seed having been part of
some unsolicited seed brought, pre-.
sumably, from Mexico and planted
p-omiscuously. Other seedlings which
grew from the same planting are con
splcuous for the infinite variety of re-
suits they have produced. One tree,
planted at the same time as the IA.
nous Ganter. has grown to the same
height as the Ganter (about 40 feet +,
but 1t never bears more than so pears
season.
The Ganter besides being a prolific
bearer, has demonstrated its superior
ity in hardness during the severe
frost which California experienced
last winter. Budded Ganter stock to
seeding roots, survived, while in
many cases the seeding stock to
which it was budded, was frozen to
the ground. First class nursery stock
OF the Gznter budding has been com
handing from $40 to $15 tree.
Ganter pears average in weight
from eight to twelve ounces. They
are about the size of small canta-
loupes. They will keep from ten to
twelve days after picking, which will
allow ample time for transit across

WHY SOME POULTRYMEN FAIL
Lack of Thorough investigation Be-
fore Taking UP industry Has Been
Usual Cause of Failure.

While there is great profit in
raising poultry, failure of special

Lack of proper investigation before
going into the enterprise has been
the usual cause Of lack of success
Then, too, perhaps, bad locations, lack
of the necessary amount Of capital,
careless investment, improper choice
of breeds and character of buildings
