CRUSADERS WON AND LOST
In the End Nothing Was Gained by Attempted Conquest of the
 Holy Land.

During the four centuries from the Moslem conquest of Palestine until the crusades Christian, Jew and Mos lem lived together in peace. Then along came Peter the Hermit and the Crusaders. The second coming or Christ had been forecast for the year 1000. The passing of that year with out any catastrophe awakened an era of Christian piety that held the world safe through the year 1883, the anni- yersary of the crucifxion.
 Peter the Hermit prevailed upon Pope Urban Il to sanction the nrsE crusade. It proved a successful yen' lure. for Jerusalem was captured July 14. 1899, and Godfrey Of Boutllon elected king of Jerusalem.
 Saladln became master of Egypt and Syria toward the end of the twelfth century, after defeating the Crusaders at the battle of Hattin In 1lS7, capturing the most treasured or relics. a piece of the true Cross. This provoked the third crusade, led by Richard Occur de Lion and commemo- rated In ScOtt's noveS "The Tails man" The Crusaders captured Con, stantinople for the VenetianS, but failed of the entire conquest of Fales' tine,

DID NOT INVENT TELESCOPE
But Calico Was the First te Perceive Its Possibilities in the Study of
 Astronomy.

The name of the man who first framed and used s telescope for the observation of the heavenly bodies is Calico GaHlei. though little known in that form. It was this scientist, wAo died January 8, 1642, who, 1t may be said. first gave stability and force to the theory which places the sun in the center of the planetary system. In April or May, 1909, Calico heard at Venice of little tubular instrument made by Hans Libbershey of Middle burg. which made distant objects ap- pear nearer, and he immediately ap- piled himself to experimentation on the means by which such an instrument could be produced. Procuring couple of spectacle glasses, each plain on one side, but one convex and the second concaye on the other side, and apply Ing his eye to the concaye glass he found that objects were magnined three times, and brought apparently nearer. Soon after having made one which could magnify 9S0 times, Cali leo commenced observations on the sur face of the moon, which he discovered 10 be irregular, like that of the earth, and on Jupiter, which, in 16lo, he as- eertained to be attended by Tour stars, as he called them, which after ward proved to be its satellites.
