Large telescope disks me being made In the United States. All mechanical dlllleultlcs have been overcome, according to an announce ment made by Dr. George V. Storey, if u member of the American Chemical V society. ' This remarkahln achievement Is due i 'to preparation and handling of the In gredients required for pure and flaw less glass and Is the result of experi ments begun nt the outbreak of the world war, under tho auspices of the geophysical laboratory of tho Carne gie Institution In Washington. Catching Up With Oermany. Beforo 1014 practically all the op tlcnl glass In tho United States was Imported from Germany. When the United Slates enteritl tho war the flthl glasses, range finders, telescopes nnd other Instruments of precision used by . her army and nilvy were equipped with lenses fashioned be yond the llhlnc. Private citizens even ' loaned or contributed opera glasses nnd binoculars to the fighting forces. Optical glass of fine quality, howev er, Is now to be bad on this side of tho wnter. The climax of this achieve ment of Industrial chemistry has been reached by American makers In the manufacture of lenses for telescopes At first disks which strengthened our view w'ero made three or four Inches In dlnmotor. Recently n special four nnd three-quarter Inch lens was Marks New Era In U. S. Flying Ail Metal Plane Will Revolutionize Aircraft Design and . Construction.

Lursen's .IL-0 all metal monoplane will completely revolution ize aircraft design, and construction, according to statements made here by leading airphoto manufacturers. Tho frail spruce and linen ship that did Its bit In tho war and that has been used successfully, though pre cariously, In commerce will soon be displaced by lie sturdy all metal type brought out after the war by the Gerimms, almost every aeronautical l. L. expert who has witnessed the per formance of the JL-0 agrees. One American manufacturing company has already announced Its Intention of discontinuing operations. The War Plane Passes. Thero Is little comparison between tho JL-0 and the old type plane. Tho only type of airplane that was successful prior to the JL-fl's appear mice was the wood nnd linen biplane. Tho wing beams, tho long fuselage, tho engine bearers, tho struts, the iinder-carrlago were made of either spruce or ash nnd ''the wings were covered with Irish linen. Tho fuse lage between the wings gave support to tho panels. It was a strong ship; only a cyclone or a crash could warp the wings nround the fuselage.

S. Cleaves, coiumnndlng the American imval force. One of the first submarines ever built by John P. Holland, (heir Inventor,) of whom It Is said that he conceived the Idea of nubiniirlncs as a means of destroying the Hrltlsh navy. Holland was an ardent Fenian and associate of many Irish patriots who have gone down Into history. Leaders of the Revolu tionary party In Ireland became Interested In Holland's Idea and commissioned! him to build a trial submarine. He built it well enough, hut -on Its trial spin on Long Island Sound It was struck by a coal barge and quickly sunk. The; discouraged Irish leaders gave up the Idea. Later Holland built his first sue restful submarine. "The Holland," which was accepted by the United States government In 181)7. "The Holland" Is here shown on her trial spin. ground for Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Ariz. The first nine and one-half Ineh'dlsk was turned out Inst December. Six others have since been made and de livered. As their diameters Increase disks are made with greater dllllculty. Finally, on February 15, lO'JO, the llrst perfect lii-lnch disk was furnished, and n large optical glass "corporation now lists this size for short-tuie deliv ery. Making Larger Disks. The next size attempted was a 110 Inch disk, in tho manufacture of which the problem was still more complex. Several flawless ones were produced, but they cracked In the annealing process. American Ingenuity was brought Into play tc devise a means of slowly cooling these Immense plates ii- the body, a wing that measures eight or ten Inches In thickness at the lead ing edge, and has a trailing edge as thick as the blade of your knife. Theru are no Interwlng struts to offer wind resistance, no control horns on the ailerons, no Hying or landing wires, no' control wires free to the wind. It has been said that the Hying, landing and control wires of the old type ship cut down Its sliced by as much as twenty-five miles an hour. Wings Survive Side Slip. The wings of the JL-0 are so rigid Hint only a head on crash will Injure them. One plane that side slipped to the earth was Immediately righted and tlown away after a new propeller had been put on. Not even the fuse luge to which the metal panels are attached was Injured. Eighty-live men have stood upon the forty-seven foot spread without causing any HI effects. Tho body of the plane contains a luxuriously furnished compartment that will seat In upholstered chairs six people. Two pilots may be seated In the control compartment. The mo tive power Is furnished by a ICO horse power Mercedes engine. It requires live gallons of gasoline to fly 100 miles. Present aeronautical motors require from ten to fifteen gallons for that distance. The motor Is almost silent, compared to the deafening roar of tho Liberty. A conversation can he carried on In the cublu with the motor wide open. According to Mr. Larsen, the JL-0 represents the greatest step forward In Hying In nil time. He has pur chased uH American rights, from the Junker co'mpany of Oermany, which first perfected the all metal plane. It was from an all metal battle plane that thQ.bocho shot down MaJ. Itaoul Lufberry In the most heroic air battle of the war. Dr. Hugo Junker, Gorman engineer, Is the original designer of the all metal ship. U. S.

Kvpurlmcnls by scientists of! Ihe geophysical laboratory showed ox-! actly how slowly their temperatures! must be lowered, and the cooling' schedule outlined was closely foI- lowed. Owing, liowever, to the ex-, Ireme cold weather of last March and the shortage of gas, this schedule could! not he followed.

Equipment hitherto used was then; scrapped nnd an electric furnnce was' specially fleslgmVl to inivt ilnj needs of the problem by experts of nji electric company. This device Is thoroughly Insulated and provided with an auto matic appliance which will hold the temperature absolutely constant to a fraction of a degree while the glass Is being treated to remote strain. The temperature c;n be dropped a few de grees a week. ( With the aid of this furnace now In process of construction it' Is believed that the last dllllculty In the way of, the American manufacture of tho' largest disks will be overcome. Or-, dors have already been accepted for the production of several large guur-j nnteed disks, Including one pair of the 18-Inch size for refracting telescopes, and a UO-Inch disk for a lellectlng tel escopy. Tho furnace will receive the 10-lnch size. When that goal has been reached, the company will continue, the development, so that eventually) the largest and finest disks In tho world will be American made.

When he was established ns king; over all Israel, he executed Judgment and Justice unto all his people. In this respect he stands ns a type oC the Lord Jesus Christ j for when Dav id's grenter son, the Lord Jesus, shall reign over all Israel, righteousness and Justice will prevail In, all tho earth. II. David's Inquiry for (Some of Saul's House to Whom He Might Show Kindness (0: 1-H). This story of fajthftil love to a dead friend Is quite refreshing. David ex perienced great grief when he received the news that Jonathan hail fallen in battle. Now when ho Is made king and success has crowned his efforts In the subjugation of Ids enemies, lit sets himself to make inquiry as to whether there Is any one left of Saul's finally to whom he might show kind ness for Jonathan's sake. When Mephlbosheth. Jonathan's son, was found. David ordered him to bo brought to him and restored to him hh grandfather's estate. Helng un able tti cultivate It on account of In llrmlly, he nrranged that It be culti vated for him. Not content with this he ordered that .Mephlbosheth should eat at his own table as one of hK sons. This example of David's nobil ity teaches us that those who- am blessed and prosjtored should stop to Inquire as to whether there are not some de-ervlng ones whom they can help. It may he that children oC some old friends who rendered us help In former days need care and help. Then, too, sonir faithful servant oC God could be cheered nlong life's way. This should not he hlmply done as an act of charity, but In recognition of some lasting obligation In 'view of help rendered by their fathers in by- gone dajs. This was the case with Jonathan. He had sacrillced much and endangered his life for David's sake. The chief value of this lesson will be realbeil by making It a living story Illustrating the plan of salvation. David's making Inquiry for some one upon whom he enn bestow kindness. Illustrates fiod taking the Initiative In providing salvation for lost and needy souls. This Is clearly suggested In David's expression, "show the kind ness of God." Mephlbosheth did not seek David's help or sympathy. Quito likely he had a fear and dread for him like the sinner tins In many caFes for tho Lord. Salvation originated with tho Lord. He did not make this provision hecnuso of man's merit, but out of n heart of grace, for the sake of another, even Christ. HI. Mephlbosheth Is Found (w. 4. 0). , This Inme man was found In tho house of Mnchlr In Lodebar. Till strikingly Illustrates the'slnner's con dition. "The sinner Is utterly unable to wnlk uprightly before the Lord. Mephlbosheth was In, the house of Mnchlr, which means "sold." This Is exactly the' sinner's condition sold unto sin nnd Sntnn. Lodebar means "no pasture." This, too, suggests tho sinner's condition of soul which noth ing can sntlsfy but God. The sinner maimed and enslaved by sin has an "ach.ng void" which only God and hit grace can sntlsfy. IV. Mephlbosheth's Sense of Un worthlness (vv. -8). When he wns brought Into the pres ence of the king ho reverently fell upon his face. Every sinner In tin presence off God feels unworthy of! his saving grace. V. David Restores to Mephlbosheth the Forfeited" Estate of His Father (vv. 0-10). Ho not only restored this estate, but provided a menns of tillage. God not only receives us Into his family ns children and restores to us the est n to forfeited by Adnm, but provides for Its culture and development. VI. Mephlbosheth at the" King's Table (vv. 1M3),. This, net of kindness on Ihe pnrt of David was donn out of the sincer ity of hlf henrt. This Illustrates God's kindness to us In Christ. Find Good In Evil. Train yourself to find the good In what seems evil, to make of dlsaster un opportunity for your courage, to master suffering by pntlence. to learu from sorrow sympathy. G. sj.
