CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Reflecting Apparatus at Victoria ll
Said to Be the Largest Yet
Constructed.
A seventy-three inch reflecting tele
scope, which ranks in size as the
largest telescope of that type yet com
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada. The instrument is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type of telescope
takes the place of a lens in concentrat
ing the rays of light, measures 73
inches in diameter over all, is 12 inches
thick at the edges, and is pierced by
a bole ten and one-eighth inches in di
ameter. The silvered upper surface is
a parabola to bring the reflected light
to a focus, 30 feet above tin' mirror.
This enormous piece of glass weighs
two and one-quarter tons and yet is so
accurately supported that no flexure
can distort the surface, which must
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more than a 200-1,000 of an inch.
The instrument weighs 55 tons and
will rest on massive piers of re-en
forced concrete. The tube is 31 feet
long and weighs 12 tons. Of unusual
Interest from an engineering point of
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is 3(1 feet in di
ameter and is provided with a double
shutter having an opening 15 feet wide.
All the movements, including revolu
tion to any desired position as well as
the operation of the shutter, wind
shield and tile observing bridge, are
accomplished by means of electric mo
tors.

CHAPTER xxiv (Continued).
Duane returned to the door. He
could see far down the street, out into
the country. There he waited, and
minutes were eternities He saw no
person near him; he heard no sound.
He was insulated in his unnatural
strain.
At a few minutes before half past 2,
a dark, compact body of horsemen ap
peared far down, turning into the road.
They came at a sharp trot—a group
that would have attracted attention
anywhere at any time. They came a
little faster as they entered town; then
faster still; now they were four blocks
away, now three, now two. Duane
backed down the middle of the vesti
bule, up the steps, and halted in the
center of the wide doorway.
There seemed to be a rushing In his
ears, through which pierced sharp,
ringing clip-clop of iron hoofs. He
could see only the corner of the street.
But suddenly into that shot lean
limbed, dusty bay horses. There was
a clattering of nervous hoofs pulled to
a halt.
Duane saw the tawny Poggin speak
to his companions. He dismounted
quickly. They followed suit. They had
the manner of ranchers about to con
duct some business. No guns showed.
Poggin started leisurely for the bank
door, quickening step a little. The oth
ers, close together, came behind him.
Blossom Kane had a bag in his left
hand. Jim Fletcher was left at the
curb, and ho had already gathered up
the bridles.
Poggin entered the vestibule first,
with Kane on one side, Boldt on the
other a little in his rear.
As lie strode in he saw Duane.
"Hell's fire!” he cried.
Something inside Duane burst, pierc
ing all of him with cold. Was it that
fear?
"Buck Duane!” echoed Kane.
One instant Poggin looked up and
Duano looked down.
Like a striking jaguar Poggin moved.
Almost as quickly Duane threw his
arm.
The guns boomed almosfrtogethcr.
Duane felt a blow just Ibefore he
pulled the trigger. His thoArhts came
fast, like the strange dots fcfore his
eyes. His rising gun had looAned in
his hand. Poggin had drawn qVicker!
A tearing agony encompass<Wv’ his
breast. He pulled—pulled—at rAdom.
Thunder of booming shots all about
him! Red flashes, jets of smoke, sntill
yells! He was sinking. The end; yes,
the end! With fading sight he saw
Kane go down, then Boldt. But, su
preme torture, bitterer than death,
Poggin stood, mane like a lion’s back
to the wall, bloody faced, grand, with
his guns spouting red!
All faded, darkened. The thundery
deadened. Duane fell, seemed floating.
Thero it drifted—Ray Longstreth’s
sweet face, white, with dark, tragic
eyes, fading from his sight . . . fad
ing , . . fading . . .
CHAPTER XXV.
Eight shone before Duane's eyes—
thick, strange light that came and
went. For a long time dull and boom
ing sounds rushed by, filling all. It
was a dream In which there was noth
ing; st drifting under a burden; dark
ness, light, sound, movement; and
vague, obscure sense of time—time that
was very long. There was fire—creep
ing, consuming fire. A dark cloud of
flame enveloped him, rolled him away.
He saw then, dimly, a room that was
strange, strange people moving about
over him, with faint voices, far away,
things in a dream. He saw again,
clearly, and consciousness returned,
still unreal, still strange, full of those
vague and far away things. Then he
was not dead. He lay stiff, like a stone,
with a weight ponderous as a mountain
upon him and all his bound body
racked in slow, dull beating agony.
A woman’s face hovered over him,
white and tragic eyed, like one of his
old haunting phantoms, yet sweet and
eloquent. Then a man’s face bent over
him, looked deep into his eyes, and
seemed to whisper from a distance:
“Dunne—Duane! Ah, he knew me!”
After that there was another
long interval of darkness. When
the light came again, clearer this
time, the same earnest faced men bent
over him. It was Mac-Nelly. And with
recognition the past flooded back.
Duane tried to speak. His lips were
weak, and lie could scarcely move them.
"Poggin!’’ lie whispered. His first
real conscious thought was for Poggin.
Ruling passion—eternal instinct!
“Poggin is dead, Duane; shot to
pieces," replied MaeNelly, solemnly.
“What a fight he made! He killed two
of my men, wounded others. God! he
was a tiger. He used up three guns
before we downed him.”
"Who—got—away ?”
"Fletcher, the man with the horses.
We downed all the others. Duane, the
Job’s done—it’s done! Why, man,
you’re—’’ i
"What of—of—her?”

T*'e rangers took Duane home to
Wellston.
A railroad had hem built since Duane
had gone Into exile. Wellston had
grown. A noisy ciovd surrounded the
stati 'n. but It stilled as Duane was
'arried from the train.
sea of faces pressed close. Some
were faces he remembered—school
mates, friends, old neighbors. There
was an upfllnglng of many hands.
Duane was being welcomed home to
the town from which he had fled. A
deadness within him broke. This wel
tome hurt him somehow, quickened
.iv:-rri====ggsasa5a«i

him; and through his cold being, his
weary mind, passed a change. His sight
dimmed.
Then there was a white house, his old
home. How strange, yet how real! His
heart beat fast. Had so many, man)
years passed? Familiar yet how strange
it was, and all seemed magnified.
They carried him in, these ranges
comrades, and laid him down, and lift
ed his head upon pillows. The house
was still, though full of people. Du
ane's gaze sought the open door.
Some one entered—a tall girl ir
white, with dark, wet eyes and a light
upon her face. She was leading an ole
lady, gray haired, austere faced, som
ber and sad. His mother! She was
feeble, but she walked erect. She was
pale, shaking, yet maintained her dig
nity.
The some one in white uttered a low
cry and knelt by Duane's bed. His
mother flung wide her arms with a
strange gesture.
“This man! They've not brought back
my boy. This man's his father! Where
is my son? My son—oh, my son!”
When Duane grew stronger It was s
pleasure to lie by the west window ant:
watch Uncle Jim whittle his stick anc:
listen to his talk. The old man was
broken now. He told many interesting
things about people Duane had known
—people who had grown up and mar
ried, failed, succeeded, gone away, anc
died. But it was hard to keep Uncle
Jim off the subject of guns, outlaws
fights. He could not seem to divine
how mention of these things hurt Du
ane. Uncle Jim was childish now, anc
he had a great pride in his nephew. He
wanted to hear of all of Duane's exile
And if there was one thing more thar
another that pleased him it was to talk
about the bullets which Duane carried
in Ids body.
"Five bullets, ain’t it?” he asked, foi
the 100th time. “Five in that las1
scrap! By gum! And you had six be
fore?”
"Yes, uncle," replied Duane.
"Five and six. That makes 11. Bj
gum! A man's a man, to carry all thai
lead. But, Buck, you could carry more

wanted it, but Miss Longstreth wouldn’l
part with it. Buck, there was a bullel
left in one of Poggin’s guns, and thal
b»H£t was the same kind as the one
cut out of you. By gum! Boy, it’c

“It would indeed, uncle,” repliet
Duane, and the old, haunting, sombei
mood returned.
But Duane was not often at the mer
cy of childish old hero worshiping Un
cle Jim. Miss Longstreth was the onlj
person who seemed to divine Duane’s
gloomy mood, and when she was wit!
him she warded off all suggestion.
One afternoon, while she was there
at the west window, a message came
for him. They read It together:
"You have saved the ranger service
to the Lone Star state.—MacNelly.”
Ray knelt beside him at the window
and he believed she meant to speak ther
of the tiling they had shunned. Hei
face was still white, but sweeter now
warm with rich life beneath the mar
ble; and her dark eyes were still in
tent, still haunted by shadows, but nc
longer tragic.
“I'm glad for MacNelly’s sake as wel
as the state’s,” said Duane.
She made no reply to that anc
seemed to be thinking deeply. Duan«
shrank a little.
“The pain— Is it any worse today?’
she asked, instantly.
“No; it’s the same. It will always
be the same. I'm full of lead,’ yoi
know. But I don’t mind a little pain.’
“Then—it’s the old mood—the fear?’
she whispered. “Tell me."
"Yes. It haunts me. I'll be well soor
—able to go out. Then that—that hel
will come back!”
“No, no!" she said, with emotion.
"Some drunken cowboy, some foo
with a gun, will hunt me out in everj
town, wherever I go,” he went on, mis
erably. "Buck Duane! To kill Bucl
Duane!”
“Hush! Don’t speak so. Listen. Yoi
remember that day In Val Verde
when I came to you—plead with yoi
not to meet Poggin? Oh, that was £
terrible hour for me. But it showed m<
the truth. I saw the struggle betweer

“My darling!” cried Duare, brokenly.
"No, no, no!”
Yet he knew in his heart that he was
yielding to her, that he could not re
sist her a moment longer. What was
this madness of love?
"We’ll be happy,’*! she whispered.
“Oh, I know. Come!—come!—come!”
Her eyes were closing, heavy lidded,
and she lifted sweet, tremulous, wait
ing lips.
With bursting heart Duane bent to
them. Then he held her, close pressed
to him, /hile with dim eyes he looked
out over the line of low hills in the
west, down where the sun was setting
gold and red, down over the Nueces
and the wild brakes of the Rio Grande
which he was never to see again.
It was in this solemn and exalted
moment that Duane accepted happi
ness and faced new life, trusting this
brave and tender woman to be
stronger than the dark and fateful
passion that had shadowed his past.
It would come back—that wind of
flame, that madness to forget, that
driving, relentless instinct for blood, it
would come back with those pale, drift
ing, haunting faces and the accusing
fading eyes, but all his life, always
between them and him, rendering them
powerless, would be the faith and love
and beauty of this noble woman.
, THE END.
MENTAL DEFECTIVES
IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
There are 330,000 persons in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Of these about 1,500
are known to be insane. Recently the
children's bureau of the department of
labor made a search for feeble minded
persons. They found 798. The opinion
is general that there are about as many
feeble minded as there are insane in a
community.
The bureau sought information from
all institutions and societies that might
know of defective persons and all social
settlements, pastors, physicians, and
such private individuals as they
thnilO’ht m I crVi t lrnnnr nf CqqIvIq rvninrlafl
persons.
While this is the most comprehensive
survey of the defectives in an Ameri
can community that has been reported
on so far as I know, it is easy to under
stand how it found only 800 instead of
1,400. Some surveys now in the mak
ing or now being planned should fur
nish much more accurate figures.
The American Association for th$
Study of Feeble Minded adopted the
following classification of the feeble
minded:
Idiots—Those so deeply defective
that their mental development does not
exceed that of a normal child of about
2 years.
Imbeciles—Those whose development
is higher than that of an idiot but does
not exceed that of a normal child of
about 7 years.
Morons—Those whose mental devel
opment is above that of an imbecile
but does not exceed that of a normal
child of about 12 years.
Probably not very many idiots were
missed in the Washington survey.
Idiots are so different from other peo
ple that the existence of an idiot in a
neighborhood is a matter of common
information. On the other hand, idiots
are generally harmless. They are as
nonaggressive as a small child. Oc
casionally some low down man will
take advantage of the incapacity for
resistance of an idiotic woman and a.
defective child is begotten—about the
only way in which an idiot can posi
tively harm society.
In such a survey some, but not
many, imbeciles are missed. Imbeciles
are generally marked individualcs
known to the neighbors. Some were no
doubt missed, and, to make mattors
worse, occasionally an Imbecile will be
come a positive enemy to society. Im
beciles can be trained to do simple
work well enough to more than pay for
their care.
An inquiry of the kind made in
Washington would fail to uncover a
lot of morons. A good trained moron i
properly directed can more than pay
his way. Untrained, uncontrolled mo-i
rons are responsible for a large part of,
the crime.
Of the 798 feeble minded found In;
Washington 97 were in appropriate in-!
stitutions, 249 were in inappropriate in
stitutions, and 452 were not in institu
tions.
As regards feeble mindedness Wash-,
ington is neither better nor worse than
other communities. To get the num
ber of its easily recognized feeble
minded a community can figure that it
has such a proportion of 800 as Its pop
ulation is of 330,000.

State’s Attorney Maclay Hoyna
Announces Determination to
Air Underworld Scan
dal in Courts.
Chicago, Oct. 14.—Warrants charging
Chief of Police Charles C. Healy with
conspiracy and with malfeasance in of
fice will be applied for by State’s At
torney Maclay Hoyne this afternoon,
Mr. Hoyne announced today.
“I shall probably ask for the arrest
of other persons also," said Mr. Hoyne.
The charges are said to have their
root in the chief’s administration of
the law with regard to vice, saloons and
gambling.
Mr. Hoyne explained that his action
was due to the assertions of the chief.
Mayor Thompson, and the “city hall
crowd,” generally, that Mr. Hoyne was
playing politics in an endeavor to de
feat the republican candidate who is
Harry D. Miller, for the state’s attor
neyship. Mr. Hoyne is a democrat.
“Grand jury proceedings are secret
and although the idea is erroneous, the
opinion nevertheless prevails that the
grand jury Is under the thumb of the
state’s attorney,” said Mr. Hoyne. “For
this reason I have determined to throw
the whole matter into open court where
the public may judge whether I am
doing my duty or merely playing poli
