people left the ti.iln nnd stalled for

The fact Is that these mi mo twentv

o'clock the next morning In a ban en

which was ttylng to get Into a siding
to let the PHhseiiRer train pass. Tlio
siding: Is known to l.illro.id men as
Tiet-sler's, and Is located nliout twenty
three miles fiom this elty and two
miles east of M.iplewood. At this point
n coal tuiln moving east was sched

ing done and the passenger train, No.

waiting In the distance when smash!

The cats weie. tumbled topsy tuny

That Is why the twenty-three looked
worn out when they left the train at

Run Down and Killed.
Hundreds of people lost their
lives every year through being run
down by horse cars, cable-cars or
electric-trolleys.
Thousands of people arc daily
risking their lives in another way.
They arc run down and killed by
reason of ill health. They allow
their slums to get weak, and
sonic light illness develops into a
fatal disease.
It is wiser to take no risks but to
build up health, strength and vital
ity by the use of a healthful .stimu
lant. There is nothing better than
Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey,
which is unequalled foritsstrcngth

Anthony peisuaded Mary to asset t

be upset b the gill, who thientens to

At the home of Mr. nnd Mis. Oscar
Yost, on North Blakely stieet, last
evening the members and friends of
the Junior league of the Methodist
Episcopal church met and enjoyed a
social time. Tho affair was for the
benefit of the church building fund,
for which a silver off ei Ing was taken.
During the evening an entertainment
was given and proved very enjoyable.
Miss Ethel Letehworth recited pleas
antly, em also did Miss Jessie Blch-
ards; Miss Ruby Yost gave a clever
piano solo, and she, with Lester Yost,
afterward played a piano nnd mando
lin duet. Charles Selgle gave a spe
cial reading, and Oscar Ludwlg a
whistling solo.
Another feature of the evening was
a guessing contest participated In 'by
the young folks. A table was covered
with miscellaneous articles and the
contestants were permitted to take a
glance at these and then going to an
other loom write down all that they
could temember, Miss Bessie Brink wns
awarded the prize. Refreshments were
served by the young misses. There
was a very large attendance. Miss
Hope Pinnell is president of tho society.

Power of tho Great Purls Exposition
Teloscpe.
From tho New York Commercial Adver
tiser. The telescope of the great Paris ex
position of 1900 will bring the Image of
the moon within a mile of the earth.
The tube of this telescope will be ISO
feet long. The Image Is to be received
upon a level mirror seventy-five Inches
In diameter, and from that reflected
onto a screen so rigged up that COO peo
ple can view Its startling revelations
at one time. This Paris telescope, with
Its huge objective, will be peculiarly
fitted to vivify and enlarge Indistinct
parts of large stars or planets or suns.
The objective of the Flower observa
tory of the University of Pennsylvania
Is only eighteen Inches, that at Prince
ton twenty Inches, that at Harvard,
twenty-four Inches, that at the Uni
versity of Virginia twenty-six inches,
that at the Lick observatory thirty-six
inches, that at Pulkowa, Russia, thlr-ty-elght
Inches, while the Yerkea glass
is forty Inches in diameter. The glass
which the Alvln Clark company Is now
making at the Cambridge works for
the Paris exposition of 1900 Is fifty-one
inches In diameter. It Is a thin con
vex, with a long focal distance.
It was formerly thought that the
diameter of the object glass of a tele
scope could not be Increased beyond a
certain number of Inches without fa
tally diminishing Its effectiveness. Ob
jectives rest on their edge, of course,
a.id the weight of a very wide glass
was so great that It Increased the
density of the lower pait of the rim, on
w hlch Its weight reBted.and so modified
with the refraction of that part of the
glass. Refraction Is the bend or change
In Its dliectlon, which a ray ot light
undergoes upon passing through any
denser bodv than the air.
Formerly objectives were made very
thick In the centre of their convexity,
so their fecal distance, or the pclnt at
which all the rays passing through
them crossed, wns close to them. The
thicker an objective the shorter the
distance to where tho focal point lies
back of It In the tube. With these
thick objectives and their short focus,
low power magnifying eyepieces to
telescopes were used not over a 1,000
diameter eyepiece In the largest Instru
ment. But lately Alvln Clark and the Jena
manufacturer have turned out very
much thinner objectives. Such object
ives produce a focal point much further
back from them In the tube of tho
telescope. And this change of focal
points has given rise to the employment
of eyepieces of 4,000 or 5,000 magnify
ing power. The nearer the image of
the object to be magnified Is brought
to an eyepiece, the higher must he Its
magnifying power, and so the old limi
tation of size dlametei In an object
ive has been oveicome.
Objectives of telescopes are duplex,
consisting of a convexity of crown
glass fitted tightly into a one-sided
concavity of flint glass. This arrange
ment is necessitated by the fact that
rays of different colors have a different
angle of refraction In passing through
condex crown glass. But these color
rays are Intercepted by the flint glass
backing, and so the focal point Is pre
served. The glass of these objectives must Iks
of equal thickness or opacity through
out. Alvln Clark told Dr. George F.
Barker, of the chair of physics of the
University of Pennsylvania, that the
delicacy of his objectives was alto
gether owing to his caie in going over
them personally, and wherever ho dis
covered a comparatively opaque spot
ho would dip his finger tip in rouge
powder and gently rub tho spot back
and forth for a minute, so exceedingly
susceptible to this very light friction
ore such highly finished and polished
pieces of manufactured glass. The cost
of creat objectives Is enormous. The
Lick objective, which stands fourth In
the list in size, cost $50,000. Alvln
Clark's reputation as a maker of ob
jectives stands first In tho world, so
