CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Rejecting Apparatus at Victoria Is
Said to Be the Largest Yet
Constructed.

A seventy-three inch rejecting tele-
scope, which ranks in size as the
largest telescope Of that type yet com
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada. The instrument is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type of telescope
takes the place Of a lens in concentrate
ing the rays of light, measures 73
inches in diameter over all, is II inches
thick at the edges, and is pierced by
a hole ten and one-eighth inches in di-
ameter. The silvered upper surface is
a parabola to bring, the reflected light
to a focus, 80 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece Of glass weighs
two and One-quarter tons and yet is so
accurately supported that no fiexure
can distort the surface, which must
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more thana POOL, 900 Of an inch.
The instrument weighs 80 tons and
win rest on massive piers Of re-en-
forced concrete. The tube is 81 feet
long and weighs II tons. OF unusual
interest from an engineering point of
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is 36 feet in di-
ameter and is provided with double
shutter having an opening 10 feet wide.
All the movements, including srevolu-
ton to any desired position as well as
the operation Of the shutter, wind
shield and the observing bridge, are
accomplished by means of electric mo-
tors.

PROFITABLE TO PRODUCE HAY
Southern Farmer Can Raise Feed far
1 80 to SIS Per Ton-Why Pay
Northerner Bigger Price?

Folks like bargains. If they can
buy at cost they will often 90 to
town and load up with things they do
not need just because they are cheap.
If the merchant placards his goods at
cost he has no trouble in selling his
stock and q great many farmers take
advantage of the 4'great sacrifice that
must be made in 80 days"
1t is funny that there are so many
who never think of selling themselves
something at cost. Take hay for in
stance. Suppose that northern bav
is selling for $50 ton. Suppose again
that the Florida farmer can produce .
ton of hay for SO to SIS. He couId
sell himself that hay at cost and keen
the difference, which he would have to
pay for northern hay, in his pocket.
That five or ten dollars is worth saw
ing. 1t is probable also that the profit
would be greater since the price of
northern hay is usually higher than
$50 and hay probably can be produced
in Florida cheaper than $40 ton
