WORLDS THIRD BIGGEST
TELESCOPE AT DELAWARE

Delaware, O., June 2S.-Within
the next few years, there will arise
on Observatory hill on the campus
at Ohio Wesleyan University here, A
huge concrete bulk, with a long fin
ger pointing skyward. 1t will be the
third largest telescope in the world.
At that time, an old man may
look from the doorway of an out
of-date brick house near the great
instrument, and recognize in il a
monument to his perseverance and
the dominating ideal of a life that
Will have passed the four-score and
ten mark.
If he is there to sec it, he will be
comparatively penniless, as money
goes, but rich in happiness.
If he is not there to see it. he has
said he will be just as satisfied
because he knows it Will be there
whether he is or not.
Professor Hiram VI. Perkins. now
~ years of age, started teaching
mathematics and astronomy wears
ago at Ohio Wesleyan, a poor man.
During the long years of teaching
since then he had amassed a fortune
OF close to 100000 by fortunate il.
Nestmcnts. But he will die a poor
man. Nearly every cent that he has
earned and scraped together will be
represented in the third largest telc-
scope in the world"
a story that passes understanding
IS unfolded in the simple announce
ment by trustees of Ohio WESLEYAN
that S2J0.OO0 has been contributed
for the installation Of the telescope
All but $4,000 of the quarter mill
hon dollars was given by Prof. Per-
llins; the remainder by his sister and
brother-in-laW.
Professor Perkins has lived with
one dominating goal-to be able to
turn enough money over to Ohio
Wesleyan University for the pur
chase of such a telescope. Not onIv
did he devote all his income from
his investments to his telescope fund,
but he often contributed to it from
his mcagcr salary as a college pro
fessor he and Mrs. Perkins trim
ming their household budget to
make the sacrifice possible.
And the story of self sacrifice is
not on par with the efforts of Pro-
lessor Perkins to dodge recognition
Tor his remarkable gift
He has steadfastly refused any
acknowledgment from his alma
mater and has driven the college
press bureau to distraction BY refus-
ing to permit the use of his name in
connection with the gift.
Il don't care whether I live 10
see the telescope and the new OBJ
serNatory completed or not" he is
quoted by Prof. c. c. Crump. now
head of the department of astron
omr. The knowledge that the uni
retsity is to have them is sufficient"
Prof. Perkins gives the telescope
at the urge of an ideal that has held
sway in his whole lifc--the belief
that the study OF the stars outclasses
all others in teaching the majesty

log cabin style, and usually a store
house in which he keeps a generous
outfit of shovels, axes, hose, pick
axes, etc, to meet any emergency in
equipping a force for fire fighting.
During the visit Of Mr.. N-iolette to
Chesuncook Dam, which was during
excessive hot days, it was necessary
to make an inspection of the lookout
station on Spencer Mountain. To
avoid the excessive heat of the day
and the attacks of the black flies, an
early start was made. Leaving at
$50 A. NJ, he went by automobile
seven miles and then hiked through
woods, under growth, bramble and
over lodges for 10 miles, which in
cluded steep ascent OF $500 feet to
the top Of Spencer Mountain, all this
without anything to eat since the
night before.
Returning by the same route in the
heat Of the day, f1y-bitten, clothes
torn by bushes. hungry and nearly
exhausted, Mr.. Niolette with Chief
Warden Robert Hutton reached camp
about 4 o'clock that afternoon.
An example Of the efficiency in
communication from the lookout
towers was attested by the fact that
while Mr.. Niolette was in the look
out station at the peak of Spencer
Mountain, he received telephone
call from Forest Commissioner Sam
J uel I. Dana in his Office at the State
House, directing him to cover some
| other territory to the east. The wire
! was clear and the voices as distinct
as if in the same city. The system
of telephoning in this district is one
Of the best in the country. \ through
metallic circuit is maintained and
kept in constant repair. At the
Grant Farm, owned by the Great
| Northern Paper Company, is operat-
| ed a switchboard which connects this
system with the outside world, the
! service being most efficient.
| Much wild life was met during the
| trip, most Of which was in the road
way. including deer. fox, partridges,
rabbits, hedgehogs, etc. The fishing
! was not very eagerly sought for on
account of the flies. The most i'm
pressive part of the trip was the long
| stretch Of gravel road from Green
vile through the woods, 43 miles Of
wonderful highway owned and main
| tanned by the Great Northern Paper
! Company. A great feet of trucks
carrying supplies for the company
and distributed to its many operating
points run over this to and from

June CastIeton Not Lost at All

Of June Castleton. former Folles

porters running all over New Eng.

her. the hunt extending to Veazie
Maine, was nothing more or less than
a fake, put over by her press agent
Two months ago this press agent
a personal friend of Caswell's, met
Dan in New York. Dan complained
that he was broke and friendless,
but remarked that he had met the
sweetest girl in the world"-June.
Dan and the press agent got their
heads together. Then they came to
Boston. June came along. The an
nouncement of their love came as a
starter.
After sufficient space had been,
given to that, the press agent took
June to a costumer's, bought for her

developments. The papers got hold
OF the letters, printed them-more

Dan, whose interviews with news
papers had usually brought him
only grief, revelled in this chance
TO administer a gentle kidding to
members of the profession. He pre-.
tended to be distracted. Stories fol-
lowed stories.
The newspapers themselves finally
found June. On the way back from

UNITE FOR
LOOKOUT TOWER

Maine and New Hampshire are go
ing to join drives in looking for for
est fires.
1t appears that Maine has been
maintaining a lookout tower on Ce-
dar Mountain in the town OF Par
sonsfield. This mountain is not very
high and the view is limited.
1t is now pro .oosed to move the
tower to the summit of Green Noun
tain. just across the line in New
Hampshire. This is more of an up
heaval and commands a view clear
through to the coast. Both states will
be benefited by the change.
1t was first suggested that the
present tower be retained on Cedar
Mountain. but this plan will be aban-
doned. The tower will be removed
New Hampshire will pay the expense
OF removal. purchase 200 acres OF
land for the warden's camp and build
one and a half miles of forest tele-
phone. Green Mountain is some 500
feet higher than Cedar Mountain.
The maintenance OF the station will
