New Optical Device Rival
Of Telescope in Probing
Mysteries of the Heavens

An optical device, which is said to
rival If not surpass the telescope in
revealing the mysteries of the heav-
enly bodies, was exhibited at a recent
meeting of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers in New York.
The invention was exhibited by DIR.
John A. Brashear of Pittsburgh.
"This instrument is called a diff
fracting grating" said Doctor Bra
shear, as he showed what looked like
a rectangular piece of metal about
2 by 4 inches long that changed colors
under the electric lights. "On the
plane surface of this polished plate,
made accurate to one-tenth of light
wave, or within one-forty-five-thou.
sandth of an inch, are ruled more than
$4,000 lines between which there is no
greater error than one-two-millionth OF
an inch.
with this delicate piece of appa-
ratus, made possible, first, by rigorous
scientific research second, by the skill
of the artisan; third, by knowledge
of and vigorous care to avoid tempera.
ture changes, and, fourth, by the accu.
racy of the mechanism, the astrophysi-
cist has been able to tell the compost
ton, temperature and distance of the
stars"

they put up harder scrap than in the
initial half. Glenwood, however,
scored 40 points in each part of the
game.
The Glenwood quintet, without the
slightest doubt, is the fastest crew of
basketball shooters in western Colora-
do, and so far this season, in their sew
eral games, they have been unable to
find another squad who could stay in
sight of them.
So, taking all this into consideration,
the Carbondale lads have no reason 20
feel badly over the fact that they were
outclassed, as they but met with the
same disaster that every other west
ern slope team has.
Center Smith of Carbondale mad a
difficult task holding down Oldenburg,
but in the opinion of many spectators
he played the tightest game.
Bowman had his eagle eye with him
and made every one of the 13 points
credited to Carbondale, shooting four
baskets, four goals and one foul.
Defeat does not discourage good
sports, anyway, and the locals still
insist that they will gather some scalps
into their fold before the season ends.

HAVE MANY STRANGE BELIEFS
British Soldiers In the Trenches Con-
fess That Superstition Has
Strong Hold on Them.

OF all the superstitions In the British
army-and they are many-the most
popular has to do with the jar that
contains the ration of rum. German
bullets. the men have 1t, swerve In
stinctively towards the nearest rum
jar. A few stray shots have helped
to strengthen the superstition, and the
conviction holds firm that the man
who carries the rum jar runs double
risk Of being hit.
Mascots and talismans hold an i'm
portant place In the soldiers life. One
man used to carry In his pack ros-
ary that he had picked up In one Of
the streets of Ypres. One day his
leg was fractured In two places by
large piece Of a trench mortar bomb.
but in spite of his suffering he refused
to be taken down to the dressing sta
ton until his rosary had been pro-
duced. "If don't take it with me-"
he said, I'D get hit again on the way
down." Nearly every man at the front
black cat. German button. lucky
elephant, or a weird sign-which Is
supposed to keep him safe.
Their superstitions. too, are many
in number. One man Is convinced that
he will be killed on a Friday; another
man would rather waste a dry-and
therefore valuable-match than light
three cigarettes: another will think
himself lucky If he can see a COW as
he marches up to the trenches; a
fourth will face any danger, volunteer
for any patrol, 60 through the worst at
tack without qualm, simply because
he has 'got feeling that he will come
through 1t all unhurt." And he gen.
orally does.

UNKNOWN MAN KILLED
BY TRAi7

Word reached Glenwood Wednesday
morning that the body of young man
had been found close to the Rio Grande
tracks little east of the Allen ranch
at Spruce creek and that the man had
been run over by train and killed
instantly.
Mortician Farnum of this city was
called to take charge of the body AMI
Coroner Hopkins was notified. The
cause of death was plain as the man
had doubtless been run over by train
as this was plainly indicated by the
badly mangled condition of the body.
Some orders on the body indicated
that the man had worked for the Routt
county coal company at Oak creek, but
the fellows name did not appear On
any of these papers.
The fellow was about 25 to % years
of age, dark complexion, brown eyes
and hair and weighed 165 to ITO
pounds. After trying in vain to get
some clue to the mans identity Mr..
Farnum buried the body yesterday at
the expense of the county.

PROSPECTS
FOR HOPE TUNNEL

1t is interesting to note the progress
that is being made with the Hope tun-
mel at Aspen, an enterprise that is
being financed and pushed ahead by
the Aspen people assisted by a few
outsiders. The Hope company is a
combination of small stockholders,
there being several hundred in the en-
terprise, and is strong example of
what can be accomplished through the
combined efforts of hustling and ,le-
termined citizens. Every man, woman
and child in Aspen is vitally interested
in the Hope tunnel and they are going
to see the undertah king through at all
costs.
Last year the breast was advanced
over 1900 feet at very reasonable
figure per foot. The opening of ore
has long been expected in the property
although the objective of the tunnel,
the Little Annie mine, is still several
hundred feet distant. 1t is now stated
that contact has been reached in the
breast and that any day may show the
rich silver ore shoot exposed in the
workings.
In addition to the regular work be-
ing carried on through the tunnel, the
company has let out two leases on
which development is now under way.
These enterprises are reported to be
very promising and q steady return to
the Stockholders Of the Hope company
is anticipated through royalties from
ore shipped by these lessees.
The proposition is now in the best
condition since its organization several
years ago and there appears to be no
doubt that it will develop into one of
the biggest and richest mines in the
Aspen district. The Hope company
controls an immense acreage and, once
the ore has been opened, will be in a
position to operate on large basis.
The persistent and encouraging ef-
forts that are being put forth at Asp
on by Aspen citizens invariably recalls
the numerous opportunities for simi-
lar undertaking that are to be found
in the Leadvills district. The Hope
