The collector roers this cemmunlcstlnn te Ihlsofllce "for reert n totheclaHsltluatlenof tobaeco from the Netherlands for four months ended Oct. 31, IS.V1," and states : ' Hecerds el this otllce show amount entered at 7,r cents, aa 7,'-'-7 pounds; t 3.'i cent as 'J,1M,35 pounds." I nave respectfully te atate that the recerds of this olUce de net furnish the precise infor mation sought for. The 'statlHtiiyi direct from the treasury department," referred te by Mr. Myrlc, must have been furnished te the department trout flie oftlre of the collocter at thla pert. Mr. Myrle calls attention te what he de acrlbes as "a Hurtling incrovse during the last four months, in the Importations el this tobacco, and makes nil etlurt te account for IU" His theory Is that it ls due te an rmiiu'ii of "the l'alrchlld ruling" j which he s.in, 'ccin 'ccin pelled all bales containing any tobacco suit able for wrappers te be tern apirt, and wrappers assessed at 75 cents duty, and the rest unsuitable for wrappers, at 35 ctmtM per pound." Mr. Myrlc mlsi;oneoIvos the ruling of the department as he ctcurly uilsoeiiceivos the law, of which the ruling was an admlnlstra tlve construction. The law does no( Impose a duty of 7u cents per pound ou "any tobaeco suitable ler wrappers," but only upon that tobacco 11 suitable for wrappers el which mere than 100 leaves are romilred te weigh a ixnind." There has been no Importation et Sumatra tabacce In baton containing any leaf " un suitable for wrappers " since the I'alk Impor tation. At the tlme the secretary'a ruling was promulgated, every bale of Imported Sumatra tobacco was composed wholly of leaf " suita ble for wrappers." Hut this lutf tobacco was divided into two ulassoste wit : Inte a elms et which "mere than ene humlred leaves were roeulrod te weigh a pound (75 cental, and a class of which few than a huudrebl leaves wero ro re ro qulred te welgh a pound," (30 cents ) These two classes, both "wrapper," wero packed together In the bale In varying pro portions, but always In such proportions that las than 85 per cent- of the bale was et the 75 rent leaf, and ntore than 15 per cent, el the bale waa et Ujo 35 cent lean The secretary's rullug simply directed that whatever part or the bale was of 75 cent leaf should be classified for duty at that rate ; and that whatover part vra el 35 cent leal should be . elaasllied for duty at that rate. It should be understood that this riillni; related and applled only te leaf tobarseo re re ro packed In the Netherlands. The larger part of the Importations at that tlnip cousUled of the repacked bales. It fellow, when no advnntage could ao ae ao cnte te the Importer Jreui lepaeklug, but en mmmtamwt'iki'sm!.

Hew powerful will this telescopic giant be? The Lick lolesb'opo Is te ti by far llm largest te fraoterlu the weild.

As the average dlauieler or the pupil of the eye is about ene filth of an inch, It fellows that a man whose oye was iarire enough te equal the gnat telejeQ in light grasping powerweultl be about one thousand trot tall. The statue of Llberty would serve him fur a cigar lighter, ir hung up where In could oeiivoiiloutly reach it. He much for the pewer or the Lick wonder te gather starlight. 'I he magnifying power Is another thing, though It depends directly upon the amount el light that the telcscope can grasp n ordinary tqiera glass uiagnl lies two and a hall or, at the most, threo diameters. Let any one rcvill hew ollectlve ovenselowa in metiving pewer as that Is when applied te persons and objecls upon n distant stage, and then he will at ence cr cr celve the slgnlllcince of the statement that the smallest aslreui'i ulcal telescope will bear a magnifying ewfr of two or three hundred diameters. The relation bstween the mairnl- tying sjwer of an optical Instrument, reck oned Uy tllimelcra, and the apparent distance or the otiject looked at Is very slmple. H an opera glass iiisgnlllebs three dlamoter, It shows ehjibcts as they would appear at only ene third et their real distance from the eye. He a toleseoo magnifying ) diameters would show n min a mile away as if he were standing within about twenty - six feU of tlie observer. Hut only lolesoopes constructed rer astronomical purposes will stand magul fylng powers like that, and, moreover, in coustquenco el the Impurity and unsteadi ness et the air near the earth, and the lack of Illumination el terrestrial objects, the image te such a case would be mere or less blurred and Indistinct. The same pewer, 200 diameter, applled te the moon brings It within an apparent distance of about 1,200 mlle", and shows clearly the extinct craters, empty sea bottoms, and ragged mountain ranges et our satellite. New as te Iho magnifying power of the Lick tolescojbo. It has been leund that wbeu thu most skilful opticians have done thelr best in making a telescople object glass, It win near, unuer tavoraute couuilleus, and for cerialn purses, a magnifying power of one hundred diameters for each inch of Its own diameter The object glass or the Lick telescope Is thirty li Inches across, there thero there fere It should lw able te stand a power of 3oeo diameters, but only under the rinest conditions. Such a pewer applied te the moon would bring It, when nearest te the earth, within an apparent dlstance of a little above bO mile. Under thu most faverable circumstance, an object upon the moon as large as St. Patrick's Cathedral could prob ably ba seen with such a pew or as a white speck. Hut erdlnatlly a jniwer only one hall or one-third as great as that could be used with advantage. Se as far as the nbillty el the great teltcoe te reveal them Is con cerned, the moon might be swarming with Inhabitants who would still remain out of the reach of our eyes. Hut if cities or ether great artificial works existed there they would doubtless be clearly distinguishable, and should In lact, long age have been per ceived wltli ulPhceiva much smaller than the Colossus, et Mount Hamilton. The new telewope can, then, only be expected te add a little mere evidence te the proof that the moon Is an extinct plane, a world or desola tion, where all thu great creative forces have coased te op' rate aud uattire seems te have reached the end of htr tether. But with thu planets the case Is tlillereut. Recent observations have shown the exist ence of enigmatical features en Mars, upon which thu Lick telescope maybe able te threw much light.

Observations taken en Mount Hamilton, the Bite et the Lick telescope, show that as many as'J50 nights in a year mny hoexpected te furnish such upertunitles for nrst class work. With such alvantages the great telescope should largely Increase our knew ledge of the huge planet Jupiter, nud et tlie changes going en there which clearly Indicate that It la an orb that Is new In the act el transformation Iremasun into a world. Willi respect te the llxed stars, or ether suns than euis, the Lick gloss will readily preve Its superiority en ucceuut of Its enor mous light-grasping, or, as it U called, spaco space ienetratlng power. This same property, to gether with the exceptionally uxcolleut at uiespherlc conditions amid which It is sit luteii, will enable it te reveal new wonders among the nebulie, these storehouses of the raw material et thu universe whose known number is constantly lielng Increased by modern observers, a brief ucceuut of what has recently been seen w ith the telescope of thirty iuches iiperture lately mounted at Pul. tewa, in Huwiia, will give au idea of what may be expected trem the still larger tele scoe te be et up ou Mount Hamilton : Plnally the colossus was turned upon the nebula Unit is visible In the great trapezium et Orien.
