LICK OBSERVATORY.
One ot the interesting recent establish
mcnts is Lick Observatory established in
1887 from an appropriation of $700,000
from James Lick who imposed in his
trust deed that they should erect a teles
cope more powerful than any yet in exis
tence. At this time the largest refractor
in existence, was the one at Washington
26 inches in diameter and a six foot re
flrctor nt Parsonstown, Ireland. So that
the trustees had to choose between these
two, a a0 in. refractor or a more than 6
foot reflector. They chose the former
and in 1881 a contruct was ltt to Alvan
Clark & Sons for the manufacture of an
achromatic astronomical object "lass of
86 in. clear aperture, this being the larg
st the contractors would undertake
Some little trouble was experienced in
getting the glass, but in 1830 the con
tractors finally succeeded and the nion
stor object glass reached Mt Hamilton,
Cal., the sight selected by Mr. Lick fur
tha establishment of the observatory in
the winter of '86 and was mounted early
in 87. 31 1. Hamilton is on the inner
coast range, about thirteen miles cast of
San Jose, and fifty miles south of San
Francisco. The obseivatory is 4,285 feet
above sea level and its total domain is
1,700 acres. The plan for the observa
tory provided for a structure 287 feet
long a transit hou-e, a meridian circle, a
photo-heliograph and helostat and a
photograph house. The building stands
nearly due north and south and fronts
the west. The domes are at each extrcm
ity and the south dome contains the
telescope. This is one of tht great mod
ern inventions. From its position it
telescope has from fifteen to twenty de
grees farther south to sweep the heavens
than any other observatory in Europe or
America, and on account of the dry
steady air it is oue of the best places for
the study of the heavens known to the
world. The observatory is run iu con
nectien with the university of California
and we congratulate the studeuts of that
institution on having such grand oppor
tunities provided, for them.
A WARNING TO THE COUNTRY.
Represenative Hatch, of Missouri, is
one of those frank, outspoken eneini?s of
the tariff whom it is a high privelege to
have as an opponent. In his speech on
Monday in the House he warned the Pro
tectionists of the consequences of the de
feat f the Tariff bill. '"If the gentle
men on the other tide," he remarked
with a menacing gesture, "would learn a
lesson from the past legislative history
of the country, they would not only ac
cept the bill now presented to them, but
they would be glad to gctjt; for if the
measure were rejected in less than twelve
months the Protectionists would give
millions of dollars to get as moderate a
reduction of the tariff." The meaning
of this threat is plain. The defeat of the
present bill, the enactment of which no
democrat in his sober senses can reason
ably expect with the consent of the sen
ate, even if it can be forced through the
House, will be followed next year by a
radical measure of free trade. "Within
twelve months," Mr. Hatch is explicit in
eaying. This is definite and uneqivocal
declaration of Democratic policy which
- the country will do well to remember
when it elects a new President and a new
Congress aext November.
The Mills bill is only the cntciing
wedge. Next year, if the democratic
party have the power, another and a
broad wedge will be driven Jn. The
Mills bill shows what may be done with
the green tree. Let President Cleveland
be re-elected and a new democratic free
trade measure will show what - can bo
dons with the dry tree. No advocate of
pending tariff legislatien has spoken of
it as auy thing more than a tentative
measure a beginning of radical tariff
revision in the interest of free tratV.
Neither Mr. Hatch nor his colleague are
willing to stipulate that the Mills bill, if
1 1 le allowed to become a lav, shall cot
ba followed up at the next session by ad
ditional tariff legislation. The indus
trial interests have no guarantee that the
assault upon them will not be immediate
ly renewed, even if they were disposed,
as they are not, to accept tlm measure qs
a compromise. Wuat men win ue toe
. . . ii 1
nntural course of representatives of every 1
industry and the working classes employ
ed by them to adopt when they are
threatened with radical free trade within
twelve months? They must closo their
ranks and array themselves in solid col
umn against the cincmies of American
industry. N. Y. Tribune.
An Explanation.
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be nlHictedf If
you will remember a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively uu
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the nuaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nerveus diseases,
ns they and Malaria are intruded to cover
what our grandfathers called IJiiiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
froai a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the system causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, liilious Fever, etc.

Mist Aleott's Fascinating Blanuserlpt.
Three years later Mr. Alcott received
from his daughter tha manuscript of a
book which Louisa Lad written according
to the inspiration which was always her
best, 1. e., that which came from actual
observation, and what may bo called tho
idealization of facts. Miss Alcott said
onco that sho wrot3 the book "to prove
she could not writo it;" in other words,
having boon asked by Roberts Bros, to
prepare "a good girls' story," she declared
she could not do it, caring so much more
for "boys" than she did for girls; but, if
she attempted it, it must bo about her
own sisters and herself.
Accordingly, a book was written on this
charming principle. On it3 receipt one of
tho firm took tho manuscript home, and,
without mentioning the author, handed
it to his daughter, a girl of about 12 years,
to read. Intrenching himself behind a
newspaper, I was told he watched tho
effect of the story upon this unconscious
critic. Page after page was turned, and
every variety of expression showed itself
on the young face bending abovo the book.
What would 6he have said, I wonder, had
sho known her proud distinct ion the first
child in America who read "Little
Women!" But such was tho case. Find
ing it impossible to induce her to leave
this fascinating manuscript, the publisher
wisely decided that a book which could,
hi manuscript, so captivate one girl,
would, in print, reach the hearts of many,
and accordingly this first little bark
freighted with success and fame was
launched. Lucy C. Lillie in Tho Cosmo

RUSSIAN FANATICS.
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF AN INTER
ESTING. RELIGIOUS SECT.
The Idea or NlhllUm Pnahed to tbe Ex
treme Limit Some Strange Tidier I'e
cullar Social and Financial Methods A
Curious Specimen.
The Interesting sect of "Negators" offers to
us the spectacle of a strange religious pes
simism. The doctrines of this sect push tho
idea of nihilism and of negation to their ei
tremest limit. The members lead a lifo of
vagabondage, and pass the larger portion of
their existence in prison. Tho government
thinks their doctrines dangerous to public
safety, and subjects them to tho most rigor
ous punishments. Let us take as a tyie of
this sect a certain merchant named ShLshkin.
In his search for truth he four times changed
his sct, and finally became persuaded that
all religion was error and lying. IIo addicted
himself to tho study of tho sacred Scriptures,
and thought ho perceived that they were not
in accord with buman nature, and then ho
came to repudiate all ideas of God and re
ligion, as well as all human institutions, all
authority, government and society. He was
promptly arrested and Imprisoned, and all
Lis property conllscatod. Ho refused to jus
tify himself or to avail himself of legal help
for his defense, ix;rsisted in his opinions, and
continued to preach in tho prison. Hero is a
curious specimen of his answers to tlio judge
d'instruction:
Judge Who ore you?
Prisoner Don't jou see I'm a man? Are
you blind?
J. What is your religion?
"P. 1 have none.
J. What God do you believe in?
P. 1 don't believe in any God. Gol lie
longs to you to you people. It was you
who iD vented him. 1 don't want him.
J. Do you worship tho devil, then? (with
some irritation).
P. 1 worship neither God nor devil, be
cause I have no need of prayer. Tho devil
is also an invention of yours. God and the
dovil aro yours, as well as tho czar, the
priests, and government oflieials. You are
all children of the same mother. 1 am not
one of you, and I wish to know nothing of
you.
Each for himself, say these sectaries;
thero is neither right, nor duty, nor social or
political or religious hierarchy. Man, aban
doned to his natural instincts, without hin
drance from government, will be irresistibly
impelled toward truth and equity. They
deny, without exception, all rights of prop
erty, and recognize no form of social organ
ization. For them, marriage, tho family,
social duties, do not exist; they live in a
fantastic world of liberty without limit, and
despise all that surrounds them.
For example, if any one asked Shishkin for
anything whatever, he would give it them at
once; only it absolutely must bo something
useful, food, clothes, or money for vital
needs, etc But he would not give a half
penny for tobacco, wine, or such like things.
'I should prefer to throw the money out of
the window rather than help you to poison
yourself with tobacco," he answers to those
who ask him for moucy to indulge in that
habit. If any one thanks him, he answers:
"What a stupid wordl You have received
what 3'ou wanted; you havo eaten; well
now go."
These sectaries are advocates of all that is
natural; they nev3r shave or cut their hair,
they drink no spirits and do not smoke, so as
not to spoil the natural beauty of tho intel
lectual faculties. They dream of a life in
which each should work for himself, satisfy
ing his wants with the productions of tho
earth, and making for himself all necessary
articles. What is over ought to be given to
those who are in want. They entertain a
profound hatred for all compulsory work
under all forms. They never go intoscrvico,
even if threatened with death, and they em
ploy no servants. When iShishkin was in
prison they shaved him and tried to compel
him to work ; but he utterly refused, saying:
"Yon have taken mo by force. I did not ask
you to shut me up. So now you ought to feed
me and work for me." It was of no uso to
flog him, to chain him to a wheelbarrow, to
shut him up in a dungeon, to give him only
bread and water; it had no e&ect. Ho re
mained immovable.
Theso sectaries do not allow of tho ex
change of products or of trade. "If you
want anything and I can give it you, take
it. When I in my turn want anything, you
will give it mo." They preach free love and
do not recognize marriage. They consider
women to be independent beings, equal to
men, free to choose lovers and occupations
according to taste. They replace the word
wife by friend.
A man, a woman and a child were brought
before a judge, accused of belonging to tho
sect of Negators. "Is this your wife?" asked
tho judge. "No, she is not my wife." "But
you live with her?" "Yes; but sho is i:oS
mine. She is her own." "Is this your hus
band?" "No; he is not my husband," an
swered the woman. "But how is it, then;"
asked the judge, astonished. "I need hiw
and he needs me, that is all ; but we each bo
long to ourselves," answered the woman.
"And this little girl, is she yours?" continues
tho judge. "No. She is of our blood, but
she does not belong to us, but to herself."
"But are you mad, then f cried the magis
trate, out of patience. "This cloak that you
are wearing, is that yours.'"' "No, it is not
mine," answered the sectary. "Why do you
wear it then?" "I wear rt because you havo
not taken it from me. This cloak was on
tho back of some one else, now it is on mine;
perhaps to-morrow it will be on yours. How
can you expect me to know to whom it be
longs? Nothing belongs to me but my
thought and my reasoq." And 50 on-
Tbe words "faith," "power," "law,"
"usage," inspire them with profound horror.
Under no pretext do they have recourse to
tho protection of the magistrate, preferring
to suffer with patience. To appeal to tho law
for protection would bo to recognize it, to
submit to social institi ions; but to submit
o law is to destroy one'.- individuality, which
should rest for it support only on tho indi
vidual conscience and personal convictions.
It must be added that they do not believe in
the life of the other worid and the rewards of
the future life. They told that man is im
mortalized only in posterity, in behalf of
which he spends his moral and physical force.
Nineteenth Century.
A Curious Finnish Myth.
Dawn and twilight are only rarely made
divinities among untutored peoples. But
they are personified in a curious Esthoniaa
myth among the Fiirus. It is related in this
story that the sun i3 - torch lit up every
morning by Koi, the dawn, and put out
every evening, by ("P.inmerik, tho twilight.
Their father, Ukko, the sky, desiring to unite
them, they consented t come together for
a few days every year at the time of tbs
summer solstice, at which time there is in
Finland no night between tho twilight and
the dawn. On these days, tbe logend con
tinues, CEmmerik passed tho torch directly
to his affianced, and she blew it alive with
ber brcntb before it had time to go out.

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms we haye already had-
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at ML Vernon, 111.,
where a large number ef buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their opr
currence more probable in 1888.
