Ma Ferguson of Texas

Whatever you may think of women in politics. you will
find time passes that WOMEN in politics will mean
BETTER politics, MORE WOMEN in authority will mean
BETTER LAWS and better living
In the prisons Of Texas there still retained here and
there instruments of torture that would disgrace Dark
Ages, such the wooden horse the barrel" the black
CELL And the ash is laid the backs Of prisoners with
savage brutality making them and their jalers infinitely
more brutal every time the flashing is DONE
1t is believed that Mrs Ferguson first ever elected
Governor Of Texas will wipe the disgrace Of brutal prison
punishment.
That would be quite appropriate for Mrs. Fegusons eleC
ton revolution
the revolution in France that ended of prso
in the open courts torture that was called absolutely
necessary to the of Justice
The political revolution in Texas putting woman in the
governors chair, may abolish torture there.

Many Heavenly Wonders Barred by instrument

Using the term celestial OBJ
~ jects" in the restricted sense
which you evidently have in
mind, viz. objects in the sky
which cannot be seen. or the de.
tails Of which cannot be observed,
with the naked eye. / may reply
that there is a great number of
such objects that a telescope
magnifying only fifty diameters
is capable of bringing into sight.
But it should be remembered
that magnification alone is not
sufficient for this purpose.
Equally essential are clearness
and steadiness of view. Clearness
of view depends upon the limpid-
ity of the glass and the accuracy
Of the curves of the lenses, or
mirrors. employed. and upon their
proper arrangement in the tele-
scope. Magnifying power de-
ponds upon the ratio between the
focal length of the object glass

be a reflector) and the focal length
of the eyepiece with which the
image Of the object looked at is
examined.

all right, an immense pleasure

such an instrument virtually

times nearer than its actual dis

Visible Lunar Views.
In looking at the moon with a
telescope you get precisely the
same effect as in looking with
it at a distant house. If the house
is 5000 feet, namely, nearly q
mile, distant, a magnification Of
fifty diameters will make 1t ap-
pear as II 1t were only 100 feet
away.
Now turn the same telescope
on the moon, which is nearly
24O, 900 miles away, and it will
cause the moon to appear as II
it's distance were only 4.S00 miles,
which is about as far AS from
New York to Valparaiso. But
the. moon, being a globe, 2,16S
miles in diameter, must, OF course,
look very large when so much
magnified and II your view is
taken at the right time, say near

myself. but having met my husband

happy, Alice dear, and | see no rea-
SON why you will not, for you are
going to marry one of the best men
in all this world, the man Wild will
probably live only to make YOU
happy.
/ am glad for your sake that he
is rich. for ! do not think that you
could be very happy without money
