Une woman created quite a sensa tion, among the female convict in Woking prison by reason of the brilliancy of the color of her cheeks and lips.

Detailei inxormation as to Ihe tyre ble to the present writer. When the t profe.?t was first broached it was inti mated that a refiector wonld be built and not a refractor. Tne big American telewpe-' are refractors, as are. in deeii. all great gU-.-e- that have been built of late year-; anywhere. The chief difiereuce between a refracting and a refiecting gta-s is indL-ate.' by the titles applied to th1 two type-. The light is received by the refracting te'e-'ope through a lens or ob-ect glass tee same a in an ociary aeUi rv-j l la--. wnin ten.ii or focal- r'.r1:" , rays to a point, tne magsuy- mc power temg grariuatal oy tne u tance between the ien- and the fo.a! points. This large lens b not the only one, nowever. tnrougu wnicc tae light is conducted. After being fo cused it i passed through a second smaller Lens called the eye pieo. which increases th1 magnifying p.jwer cf the- instrument still further. In the refiei'ting tele-.ipe convex mirror is n-ed in pia.e of the ob;et glas. and the light, instead o: cas ing through a lens for fcaiizatin. is refiertei to a :c-a- At that point it L? received by an eye-piee. In the ame manner as the refracting instru- ment- Dtfer?nt eye-pieces prcdice differ ent degrees of enlargement, and there would be no reason why. with the proper combination of !en-es. any magnifying power desired could not be obtained were it no; tha; enough light cannot be got to make the image distinct when the higher powers are used Thir. in observing a star all the Light that can be ob tained is the ligh; of tha; star. This so long as it is small; when the image age is corres- if too great a becomes so dim tha; all the details are lost. AH this should be clear in the mind of the reader in order tha: it mav be understood why so many astronomers shake their heads when the proposed monster telesooce is spoken of. and say that i: is a chimerical scheme, fi: only for locking u.v a lot of gc-oi money. If a glass of such eitraodinary dimen sions as tha; projerted is bails, say these genslemen. it wCI be impossible to make anything out. and when it is further explained to them tha: it is proposed to build a refi-otor instead of a refractor, they sceai of the great reiector built by Lord Rosse many years ago. the mirror of which was seventy--two inches or six fee: in diam eter just twice X.- large as the lens of the Lick teiesipe. Tne Rosse tele scope was a notorious failure, and i; is claimed tha: none of the big glasses have accomplished wha; has been ex pected of them. Whatever may be the performance of the propo-ed tele-.tpe after it is finished, its cou.reptioc, is so daring and its size will be so great as to com pel respectful interest. The necessary focal length of the instrument has been competed to be ISi feet. The big mirror is to be nine feet ten inches in diame;er. ten inches more :han three times thas of the Lick object glass. These figures grow on yoa a. you think of them. The tube of the proposed tele-cope wCl not be much less than I2- feet long. Stand ing oc a Broaiway sidewalk it would nearly bk-k up the way. and would reach a- high as the latest twelve or thirteen story bi2ding-. The mirror would b? a fit looking-glass for the use of a genuine giantess. It is to be 15 inches thic-c. and its weigh; is estimated a; 5i tons. Ke would oe a bo4d man. in the light of the discoveries and inventions of these later year-, who should po dict that this Lase-s conception of the French scientists -ktH be a co-moiete failure- If it is a suc.-- then human ity will as last be in a way to solve many of he mysteries that have de fied unraveling during all the ages.
