A LITTLE SATURDAY TALK

A man who owns telescope and who lets other people use it to look at the sky, has written this letter:
 Dear Uncle Ray: As one looks above, by day or by night, curious thoughts arise. I have often taken my telescope on the street to make a study of sunspOts. In few minutes quite crowd collects. anxious to know what it's all about. When informed. they are extremely interested and ask many questions. Most of them have read somewhere that the sun has spots. but not many have had the pleasure before of watching the disturbance going on in the sun. 2. ..j,. a',i
 :. fsI just wanted to send you few lines to encourage you in your idea of giving the world such interest ing talks, so plainly written that n child can understand. Your Corner is doing more htan anything done for 50 years 10 reach the masses. I don't know you, Uncle Ray maybe you are q cross old man, with a scientific mind after many years of study. and may not appre- ciatc a letter like this--but anyway I am writing to ask yO1 to keep 1t up.' Youps very truly.
 "E. w. Fe1ter."
 do appreciate your letter, MT Felter, but I am sorry you thought I might be "a cross old man. am not vefy old.s and I try not to be cross to people meet.
 Ithink people are as wonderful as the greatest marvel of science or Nature. Think of tiny baby. how he grows and grows. learns to walk and talk. and (when he grows into childhood) finds how to play, how to avoid dangers, how to read the printed word.
 Men and women I meet in the course of daily life, children talk with when I visit schools, readers who write letters-all are interest ing to me. I like people. and have found so much godoness and kindness and friendliness in the human race that I rejoice to be here in this wonderful world or ours.
