Lunar Ne Photography Results Attained With Use of Horizonta.1 Telescope. A new atlas of the moon is being i prepared for publication by Professor W. H. Pickering, of tho Harvard ob servatory, from material obtained dur ing the past season by means of the 136-foot telescope at the observatory's temporary astronomical station in Jamaica. Although observations were Interrupted by the approach of the rainy season in May the undertaking is sufficiently advanced to be complet ed by midsummer, and Professor Pickering has already brought to Cam bridge a full set of the photographs necessary for the proposed publica tion. The apparatus is the long • hor izontal telescope,” already described in the Herald, built on the principle of reflecting the rays from the object hor izontally through a fixed lens. The method permits of an extremely long focus and secures a much larger pic ture than Is possible where the tube of the telescope is pointed.at the ob ject. The arrangement is also an ex tremely economical one, temporary Bheds serving all the purposes of the old-time tube, though the instrumental , parts are very expensive. It is aNo ! the only known method of making ; large Instrumental pcwDrs readily j portable. The mirrors. lnn^es and ma- ! ehlnery of the telescone were all taken [ from Cambridge early In October, but , nearly three months were spent in the ■ work of getting ready, so that it was not until the* morning of the first day of t he new century, a few minutes after midnight, that the first observations were made, and several days later be fore satisfactory photographs were ob tainecl. A 12-inch 1 porary station is in a lonely region surrounded by forests with but one other house in sight. As It sometimes happens that no rain falls during a whole month the water supply is a se rious consideration. Rain water la collected on cement platforms called barbecues, which are built primarily for the drying of coffee and the pi mento berries which provide the all spice of commerce. The barbecue at the observatory is something like 40 by 80 feet in size, slightly inclined so that the rainfall can be conducted to a cement tank for storage. However, in the mountains the dew is exceed ingly heavy, and as the observatory buildings are roofed with galvanized iron, the Harvard party undertook by means of gutters to gather the nightly fall for drinking purposes. Sometimes two or three gallons were collected in a night. At present, of course, it is the rainy season In Jamaica, with wa ter enough and to spare, but It is Pro. Pickering's intention to complete his observations as soon as the condi tions of the climate will permit. He will then abandon the station, selling the buildings and removing the Instru ments to Cambridge. All in all, the station bus been a decided sur'C33. Aside from the photographic work on the moon, which, of course, has re sulted in records of permament value, the “seeing" -ns the astronomers call it—from the highlands of Jamaica has proved to he good, much better than in Cambridge, though not equal to that of the permanent Harvard sta tion at Arequipa, Peru, where the con ditions ate well nigli Ideal.—Boston Herald. * Corfiinii hs Franker** The Coreans arc Inveterate smokers of green tobacco, which they use in pipes with tiny howls and sterns two or three feet long. They stick their pipes down the back of the neck when not using them. There is a deal of drinking, too, though they have many proverbs against it—"Heaven and earth are too small for a drunken man," “White whisky makes a red face,” “There is no bottom to the ap petite for drink." Fame and Poverty H ave Walked Hand- | In-Hand T h r o u j? h Herbert Spencer’s Career. Herbert Spencer, whose name will live in the world of thought ns that * of one of the nineteenth century’s greatest thinkers, has recently passed his 81st birthday. After a lifetime of self-sacrifice and privations, the great philosopher finds himself at the thres hold of the grave almost as poor tn worldly pos es3ions as when he started the career that has brought him bo much fame hut so little pecuniary recognition. There is something al most pathetic in the life-work of a j man like Herbert Spencer. The son | of a school-master, Mr. Spencer was educated very largely at home by his father, though he also went to a school at Bath, the head-master of which was his uncle. From 1837 to 1846 he plied the profession of a civil engineer, and for five years later acted as sub-editor of the Economist before he turned to the work with which his namo will always be identified. It is as a popular philosopher that Herbert Spencer seems to hold his reputation, and yet one must read the account of his self-sacrifice and priva tion before one can realize the tre mendous battle which tlie best known philosopher of tills century fought be fore he found any readers at all. ‘‘Social Statics,” certainly a rather tin handy book, took fourteen years to sell, although the edition ran only to 730 copies. The “Principles of Psychology” with a first edition of 730 copies, did not sell out for twelve years, and at the end of fifteen years the author lost no less than ?<>,0u0 through hi. publications. The strong est man, however, is the man who can wait, and Herbert Spencer waited. The scientific method of studying human life began to find willing pupils, not only among scientists, but also among young students of philosophy at the universities and workingmen, who gave up their evenings to the study of technical or social sciences. Few books of philosophy have enjoyed so wide a popularity or sale as the “Data of Ethics,” where flowing and per suasive argument delight and enchant the reader. Tin nU'vatml In lioilon. Boston opened its elevated railroad recently and there was a great rush t6 patronize it. It crosses the congested parts of the city and will greatly re lieve the crowded street cars, which latterly were unable to carry all who wanted to ride. Over 120,000 pas-engers were carried the first day, and the intervening days since the average lias been 108,000. Life in Persia Differs Little from WK&t It Did in Olden Times. Here are to be seen women covered with a cloth thrown over the head and coining down to the knees, or lower, a fold of which they always draw up over the face when a man appears. Their legs and feet are bare, and large earthen water Jars are on their backs. There are others of a better class, who have their heads completely cov ered with a piece of cloth which has a small aperture of fine needlework over the eyes, so that they can see out, just enough to enable them to get along the street. They wear a dark blue outer garment, which is thrown over the head and reaches nearly to the ground, bright green baggy trousers, which are gathered at the ankle and fit snugly to the foot like a sock, and bright red or yellow slippers just large enough to slip the toes into; the heel of the slip per comes under the instep of the foot, so that they are compelled to shuffle along walking on their toes only. The men wear coats of heavy gath ered skirts, loose, short trousers, low leather shoes, a leather strap around the waist, a dose fitting skull cap; or, as is usually the case of the better class of citizens, a loose flowing robe, much like the ecclesiastical gown sometimes worn by the clergy, and a high black astrakhan turban. TJte people live largely on rice, wheat fruit ami vegetables; but mut ton, beef, fowls and eggs are very cheap and are used freely for food. The milk of the water buffaloes, cows, sheep and goats, also, Is made Into butter, cheese and curds ami various dishes of the thickened or loppered milk. The wheat Is reaped by a cycle threshed by driving over it cattle and horses hitched to a wide plank, with pieces of iron or stone set in the lower surface, winnowed by tossing it into the air against the wind, and carefully picked over by hand, before going to the mill, wiiere is it ground by water power into a coarse flour. Molit Air l< l.lglit. One of the commonest errors is to speak of moist air as heavy. You find the error everywhere—in the newspa pers, in magazines, in books, by the best writers—the "damp, heavy air.” Ten persons out of 12, old or young, say that when the smoke from chim neys hangs close to the ground it is because the air is "damp and heavy,” and that keep the smoke from rising. Now, all this is just the other way, as everybody ought to know, siace the weather bureau has made us so fami liar with barometric conditions and changes. It is dry air that Is heavy. : and moist air that is light; It is dry air that bears down on the mercury cup of tlie barometer, and sends the column up in the tube; it is damp air that bears less heavily on the mercury, ! and lets the column fall. A high baro meter indicates dry air and line weath er; a low barometer, damp air and stormy weather. And so far as t'_.e smoke is concerned, it lies (dose to the ground when the air is damp and light; it does not ascend because it is heavier than the air; on the contrary, when the air is dry and heavy—as it is on a fine day—the smoke ascends be« cause it Is lighter than the air.
