THE LICK LENS.
Kffeet Upon It of the Ileal
Prom a Man'i Hand.
Some years ago the writer paid a vis
it to A Wan Clark at Cainbridgeport to
witness the testing of the huge lens for
the famous Lick telescope. At the end
of the long, dark room the largest Hint
g-lass then, hi the world was set up on
edge. From a distance of about fifty
feet a pencil of light was flashed into
the heart of the disk and reflected back
Into tlie observer's eye. The slightest
Imperfections, if any, in the glass would
then be revealed'by the curves of light
and the lines of-polarization.
"Now," said Mr. Clark, "I will show
you the wonderful sensitiveness of the
lens to outside Influences. Every hu
man body gives out heat and when
brought near to extremely sensitive
substances affects them to a greater or
less extent. Now watch."
lie walked down to the lens and held
his baud under It about two feet away.
Instantaneously a marvelous spectacle
burst Into view. It seemed as if the
great glass disk had become a living
volcano* spurting forth Jets of flame.
The display WJAS dazzling. Waving,
leaping, dancing, the countless tongues
of light gleamed and vibrated; then, fit
fully, reluctantly, they died away, leav
ing the lens reflecting only a pure, un
troubled light.
"What is It? How do you account
foivthe wonder?" were the euger ques
tions.
"I< is only the radiation of heat alter
nately expanding and contracting the
glass. If 1 hud put my hand upon the
lens itself, the phenomenon would have
been even more violent."
To a person ignorant of lenses the al
most siqxTnatural sensitiveness of a
mass of glass weighing several hun
dred pounds was astonishing, hut to
the scientist It is an everyday matter,
for he has instruments that will regis
ter with unfailing nicety the approach
of a person fifty or a hundred feet
away.—Youth's Companion.
CONQUERED HER RIVAL.
A Pretty AJid Pathetic Story of Jenny
l.ind and Grlat.
We have recently read a beautiful
Incident. Jenny Llnd and Grisi were
both rivals for popular favor In Lon
don. Both were Invited to sing
same night at a court concern before
.tlie queen. Jenny Llnd, being the
younger, sang first and was so dis
turbed by the fierce, scornful look of
Grisi that she was at the point of
failure when suddenly an Inspiration
came to her.
The accompanist was striking the
chords. She asked him to rise
and took the vacant seat. Her lingers
watiiftoci'd over the keys in a loving
prelude, und then she sang a little
prayer wl)'k*li she had loved 'as a child.
She hadn't sung it for years. As she
sang* she was no longer in the pres
ence of royalty, but singing to loving
friends Iji her fatherland.
Softly at first the plaintive notes
floated oh the air, swelling louder and
Holier every moment. The singer
seemed to throw her whole soul Into
that weird, thrilling, plaintive "pray
er." Gradually the song died away
ajid enlu<l iu a sob. Theno was a si
lence—the silence of admiring wonder.
The audience sat spellbound. Jenny
Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look Into
the scornful face that had so discon
certed her. TJiere was no fierce ex
pression nowg Instead a teardrop glis
tened on the long, black lashes, and
after a moment, w4th the impulsive
ness of a chfld of the tropica, Grlsl
crossed to Jenny IJnd's side, placed
her arm about her and kissed her,
utterly regardless of the audience.—

An OntrnßP.
At) old gentleman was present at the
reading of thoAvlll of a distant rela
tive. lie had hardly expected to find
himself remembered In it, but pretty
soon a elnuiK' was read in which a cer
tain trehl was bequeathed to him.
That was good, but the document went
on tf) bequeth the old gray mare in the
said field to some one else—a man
with whom tlie old gentleman was not
on friendly terms. That was too much
for Ids equanimity, and he interrupted
the solemn proceedings and brought a
smile to tlie faces of tlie company by
exclaiming:
"Then she's eating my grass .'"—Pear

WASHINGTON LETTER
[Special Correspondence.]
Judge J. W. Phillips of Newcastle,
Pa., who is known as "the father of
the industrial commission," is in the
city. lie is here to attend the final
meeting of the commission, held to go
over the material and-frnme up the re
port to be made to congress. "The
commission," said Judge Phillips, "will
make its fiual report to congress on
Dec. 13. The law under which the
commission was organized provided
that the body should Investigate all
manner of industrial matters relating
to the mutual Interests of capital and
labor and should recommend to con
gress and to the legislatures of the va
rious states legislation calculated to l>e
of benefit to both classes. The scope
of the commission's labors has neces
sarily been wide. We have gone over
a tremendous field. I took up the
work of securing a commission of this
churacter In the Fifty-third congress.
It was passed by the Fifty-fourth con
gress, but failed to secure the signa
ture of the president. Finally the bill
was passed with certain modifications,
such as the addition of congressional
members. My bill originally provided
that it should be made up entirely of
civilians ami that there should not be
a majority from any party. I think
It will IH conceded by congress that
the commission has done a valuable
work."
The New Chilean Mlnlnter.
Don Joaquin Walker Martinez, who
has been appointed Chilean minister at
Washington to succeed Senor Vicuna,
who recently died at Buffalo, is a
cousin of Don Carlos Walker Mar
tinez, a celebrated poet, orator and
politician of Chile. lie was born at
Santiago and is about fifty years of
age. lie was formerly engaged In
business on an extensive scale and
was a member of the Chilean congress
at the time of the revolt against Bal
maceda in 1891. In the provisional
government which was subsequently
established Don Joaquin held the office
of minister of finance. He afterward
threw up his position because the pro
visional council of state was consti
tuted without giving any representa
tion to the Conservative party,of which
lie was a member. This action brought
the other revolutionary leaders to
terms, and representatives of the Con
servative party were admitted to the
council of state. Minister Martinez
then resumed the portfolio of minister
of finance and held It until Admiral
Montt became president of Chile.
I'pcmnlnre Retirements.
Secretary Root has determined that
army officials shall not bo prematurely
retired if there is any chance of keep
ing them on the active list and having
them render some service to their
country. In the case of a Junior army
surgeon recommended for retirement
by a board, which included in its mem
bership two officers of the medical de
partment. Secretary Root overruled
the findings of the board and decided
that the officer, who, by the way, is
anxious to continue on active duty,
need not go on the retired list. It de
veloped that if the officer was retired
he would probably practice his profes
sion, and Secretary Root finds that
some of the officers retired for disabili
ty thereupon engage in commercial or
professional pursuits which do not tax
their energies or strength any more
than the discharge of military duties.
Secretary Root proposes to make a
careful scrutiny of all recommenda
tions coming from retiring boards.
Aiipolntment of Army Chnplulnn.
Judge Advocate General Dnvis of
the army has decided that under exist
ing statutes appointments as chaplains
in the army are confined to regularly
ordained ministers of the gospel, rec
ommended by the authorities of their
church or by five reputable ministers.
Tills decision was rendered in the case
of a minister of an independent creed,
attached to no church, who was a can
didate for an army chaplaincy. Al
though strongly backed by influential
people, this minister is ineligible for
appointment under the Judge advocate
general's construction of the law.
Wanhlnftton n Model.
Mr. Gerard Lowther, charge d'af
faires of the British embassy, lias
written the district commissioners, ask
ing them for plans, maps, outlines and
principles of the government of the
city of Washington. The request may
be regarded as a high complimeut. In
asmuch as it is made in behalf of the
proposed federal city In Australia,
which is to be established in the Im
mediate future. It is considered as
probable that the beauty and the ex
cellent government of Washington
have led the British authorities to con
template the establishment of an Aus
tralian city fashioned after the capital
of the United States.

war as a member of the Fourth Illi
nois volunteer cavalry and later was

Lnxnkola for Ruble*. —Tt Is tlio best and most
effective laxative for children. BEBT because It is safe
and made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because
it is non-irritating and never gripes or causes pain or
f / irritation. BEST because it is sure and never falls. BEST
■ t ) C 'rsfc _ft 1 because " Children like it and ask for it." BEST because
I toldc properties are so good aud so strengthening that
it keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition.
v ./// It a dangerous thing to give little babies violent
l/lcathartics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T
/I fl&tji' DO IT -* lve them Laxukola. For constipation, coated
tongue, simple colds and levers it is invaluable.
I'Bxokola for Young Girl* on the threshold of
has been found invaluable. When they bo
come pale and languid, the eyes dull, aching head, feet
aild hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their sys-
Iviß terns generally run down, they need building up, and their
HI ( -sK llndfnM l)lood needs cleansing. Give them Laxakola, its gentle
bowel action toclcnnso aad its tonic properties to build up
tlio ay stem, will show immediate and most beneficial results.
IK Laxakola for Mother* —lt Is particularly valuable
and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle
and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health
whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require
a mild and cflicient laxative and tonic, while to nursing
mothers, worn out with the care of infants nnd whoso sys-
AIT* tems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease
*" J Laxakola particularly appeals.
£ "Jl It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the
W appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of theskin
\/ Y and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing thecause.
V To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-
aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and
dyspepsia, Laxakola will invariably bring relief.
Lnxakoln for Old Folk*. —ln the Autumn and
Winter of Life, when the various organs through
comes necessary to stimulato them by some remedy best
adapted to that purpose. That Laxakola is such, has been
PvMyc proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing
|igV i action on tho bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to
increased activity, clea uses the blood, quickens tho circu-
Ky latiou, and puts the whole system in a condition of health
and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties
tone up the system and keep it healthy.
Laxakola Does It.
Laxakola i not only the molt efficient ..( family rentedie., but the most economical because It com.
Eines two medicines f..r one twice tonic and laxative. No other remedy Rives so much for the money. All
