Nearly four years ago , at the annual
meeting of the Methodist Episcopal confer-
once. to which Itcv. Peate bears a supernumerary -
numerary relation , flishop Hurst. presented
a pica for the support. of the 4merican
university and told in such glowing
phraseology of the hopes and prospects of
the school that the clergymen were deeply
Impressed. At the conclusion of the iIshOp'3
appeal flay. Peato arose and quietly offered
to make for the university the largest ro-
: fleeting telescope lens In the world. The
; bishop and clergymen present know that
' . Dr. i'eato had been successfuL in the mak-
lug of coveral small lenses and other opti-
cat glasses. hut the suddenness and magni-
ttido of his offer for a moment embarrassed
; , theni all. The offer was so remarkable
, that it took the hearers by surprise. The
bishop looked into the face of the erect and
t , 'p vcnerabie man. 1io knew hIm. ia what

years , " propmptly responded Dr. Peate. ills
. offer was accepted soon afterwards and the

ties were that Dr. Peate should do the
work , the school to bear all expenses. No
limitations were sot to the latter. Dr.
Poato lost no time upon his return home.
ills first concern , of course , was to got the
glass in the rough. That was an cuormous
task and tIm dimeuittes encountered were
suflicient to liavo thoroughiy disheartened
any but the sturdiest spirit. 110 could
have ordered the glass from tue st. Gobin
works in France , where for centuries at-
most all large telescope euses have been
cast , and whose export workmen bavo been
-A- regarded as the only men In the world

. Getting the lug GlaNs.
Another consideration entered Into his
plans. Since the work being done for
a the American university it was a matter of
pride that no part of It should be done
outside of this country.
Acting upon this determination Dr.
Peato made proposals to several of the
largest glass manufacturers In the United
d b States , that they undertake the casting of his
big t1aas. Here ho met his first rebuff. Not
one of the concerns to whom he offered
the task WOtIll ( take it. Their overt reasons
for refusing were that it could not p05-
athly ho tione , but covertly they let It be
known through their trade Journals that
they regarded the whole undertaking of the
venerable clergyman as the visionary
scheme of a crank ,
1)r. I'cate then turned from the big concerns -
cerns to tue emaller manufacturers , who
had muq.h to gain it the cast should be sue-
cesaful , and nothing to lose In case of
failure. flu went to liutior , l's , , sixty
. miles train Greenville. and got a Plato glass
company to agree to make the attempt.
. Four times the molten glass was poured
Into the great mold unsuccessfully , but the
fifth cast was pronounced perfect.
itt the nieantitno lr. l'eato had butit ac-
cording to his sPecifications a workshop for
the accommodation of the glass when it
should be transported from Ilutlor. The
carpenters vlio built it were good Methodists -
odists and would take nothing for their
nbor. The bricks of the chimney were laid
by Dr. Peate himself , The only cost the
workbhlop entailed ition the university was
for the lot and material , anti It is worthy
of note that this small , unpretentious
structure was the first building erected by
the institution whose colleges are now beginning -
ginning to raise their stately roofs in the
natioutti capital.
The 51101) was completed by the time the

the casting was finished it. was brought up
from Butler a'i placed Ia Lao main workroom -
room on a big revolving table , that was
turned by a small four-horaa tower gas
engine , which also furnished the vower to
the crane that hoisted and lowered the massive
sivo metal grinders. These grinders were
an ingenious invention of the old clergy-
man's fertile brain. Up to the time he
began the making of telescope lenses titers
hiatt been In use for grinding and loiiBbiUg
them what was known as "local" polishers ;
that is , small grinding or polishing surfaces
manipulahd over the face of the glass.
These had many disadvantages , amcag
' which wore loss of time and the constant
1
danger of reducing the surface of the glass
into irregularities.
1Iolie-igtle l'oiIi ,
; Thu grinder Dr. l'cate constructed is a
metal dise the size of the glass to be ground
t and in which the convexity corresponds
Inversely to the figure desIred on the glass.
The surface of this disc Is cut up Into bun-
dreds of small facets , no two of which are
exactly the same distance from the ceotcr ,
llnoa these facets is spread the mixture of
pitch and rouge or emery used to grind nd

With this single tool , weighing OO pounds ,
Dr. reate In the late summer of 1891 began
the formidable task of reducing the rough
surface of his great glass. At first Mmply
hard work and no great skill was required ,
but as the glass wore down close to the
figure In which it was to be finished the
work became less covers physically , and
began to tax more closely the ability and
maniptilar skill of the maker. After the
rough grinding had reduced the glass to
that point shere great skill and technlca
knowledge began to be required , Dr. l'eath
ilispensed with the services of the man ho
had bad to help him and the remainder of
the work was dcne entirely with his own
hands ,
The glass gradually became so infinitely -
finitely delicate that the slightest change
itt the temperature affected it. During the
first winter after polishing was begun only
nineteen hours were devoted to actual work
upon the glass , and the succeeding winter
even less time titan that. The total nutn-
ber of hours work on the glass from the
start to the finish was something under 700.
And yet to complete it required nearly the
full two years which lt. l'ento pledged the
bishop at the conference , The lens. which
is 62 inches in diameter , 5 3-8 IncItes thick
and weighs l,00 pounds , is a perfectiy flawless -
less piece of glass , and when duly polished
looked more like a pool of limpid spring

lOiIlt at which the light refiectqd from the
glass collects. It Is by this teat ( lint I know
whether my glass is too high or too low
in places. "
lie then pointed out a spot just a shade
darker than the rest of this surface , where
In polishing that afternoon ho bad left the
glass raised about one one hundred-thou-
eaudth of an inch.
The next test was one of strikine beauty
transportation of a "parcel" from Green-
yule , l'a. , ' to Washington , D. C. , and a letter -
ter from Illshop hurst , head of the school ,
directing Dr. Peate to ship the glass as
soon as convenient.
Trstsispnrt itig the Lcnu.
Accordingly the glass 'was packed with
infinite care and every safeguard to prevent
even to niuch as a pin scratch matring Its
perfect polish.
Dr. Peate had an iron band clamped about
the lens and outside of that he bent. two
other Iron bands , the ends of which pass
UI , throfigh the top edge of the case , where
they are securely riveted. Dy this means
the glass Is kept constantly vettienl and
literally hangs in its case , having enough
play on padded cuahiona to escape the
severest jar. The whole case is mounted on
a wheeled truck tiat allows of its being
handled with case.
However , a delay has occurred because of
the fact that the express company baa no
office in Greenville and the glass has not
yet been shipped.
After every known optical test has been
given a telescope lens while it is being
made there is one final and best one that
can only he made when it is completed.
That is to search the sky with it. Dr. Petite
has twice put his glass to that final test
and has twicd proved it optically perfect ,
It was while the great lens was resting in
its carrying case that he conceived the idea

water than a great telescope lens , destined I
to search the heavens for new planetary
bodies.
No better Idea of the nicety with which
the glass had to bo handled can be laid than
by a description of some of the tests that
were applied to it in the course of its final
polishing.
By means of an ingenious mechanical
device , the table on which the lens lay was
turned up so that the glass rested perpendicularly -
dicularly on one edge facing into the testing -
ing room , a low-celled narrow gallery about
100 feet long , that projects from the rear
ot the primitive workshop. Preparatory
to making any of the tests , Dr. Petite
opened the big door at the far end of the
gallery , A flood of light poured in and
suffused itself over the polished surface of
the great mirror , which reflected back with
startling clearness and brilliancy every
blade of grass and passing cloud without.
TeMtIlI&t the lug Leitu.
All the tests to which the lensmaker subjected -
jected the glass were very simple ones , but
embodied the most exacting optical princi-
pies , whereby tim perfection of a speculuni
may be determined with infinitesimal accu-
racy. For the first one , Dr. Peale went up
to the lens , and placing his thumb upon it ,
requested the correspondent to note when
be had held it there fifteen seconds. The
time tip , he came hack about sixty-five feet.
to a small table on which was a common
oil lamp , a cylindrical tin tube and a small
stnntiard supporting vertically a brass fer-
rule. h1 lighted the lamp , placed the tin tube
over It , turning it so that only the light
from a hole In the side , smaller than a pin
point , shone on the glass. Ito then sat
down back of the table enti shifted the lamp
and ferrule about until their adjustment
seemed satisfactory. lie arose and tao-
tioned me to take the seat , directing me to
close one eye and look past the edge of the
ferrule with the other , After a moment of
searching for the optical point , my eye suddenly -
denly caught a gleam anti the whole surface
of the big lens appeared effulgent with a
niehlow light , hike the urtacc of the full
moon , Near one edge was a small dark
spot. "Do you see that spot ? " queried the
doctor. "That is a bump caused by the cx-
pansion of the glass under the beat of my
thumb , It Is less than one fifty-thousandth
of an Inch high and yet you see it. with the
little point of light that escapes through a
hole too small to aecotmnotlato a pin. It is
impossible to measure it or detect it in any
other way than by this simple light test ,

and the straightedge is merely an assist.
and illustrated the wonderful sensitiveness
of the glass , Dr. Pests walked forward
and merely held his itand near it , Look.

glass was seen to be all disturbed and covered
with great billowy clouds of light. liluw.

accurate test. That is also one reason why
it takes so bog a time us two years to corn-

For some months past the glass has mm
on its revolving bed in the little workshop
awaiting orders for its disposition from the
beads of the university at Washington. Dr.
I'cato untitled them of its completion , but
nothing was done to have the glass re-
moved. Finally lr , Peate , who is a man
of PromPt action , wrote to the chancellor of
the university and told him that ho did not
longer wish to have the responsibility of
caring for the delicate glass. A reply
came In the form of an order for this tree
_ _ _ : . '
of turning it on the heavens. Accordingly
ho silvered its face. Then lie wheeled the
case out onto a small platform in the rear
of his workshop. Thirty-two feet out from
the platform Ito constructed rough scaffold-
ing. Thirty-two feet is the distance from
the face of the big mirror nt which its rays
of rcllected light are focused. hJ had next
constructed a thirty-two foot wooden arm
made like a huge crutch. The open ends
of this he placed on either side of the glass
and tlid other closed end was raised to the
top of tIle scaffolding. On it be placed the
eye-piece , through which the focused light
is admitted to the eye. Then , tilting the
glass back as far as he could one starry
night a few weeks ago , the venerable astron-
orner climbed up his rickety scaffold and
during four hours sat uncomfortably on the
topmost round of the ladder , studying tbe
heavens nnd searchingly noting the working -
ing of his Precious mirror.

BERLIN , July 14.-Had any well informed
American resident of Germany been asketi
six weeks ago how the Germans felt toward
the United States as regards the war with
Spain ho would have unhesitatingly said
they were against us from A to Z. That
statement would have been based not upon
the hundred little daily insults and pmtty
affronts to which Americans were subjected ,
hut upon certain vronounced and positive
facts. In the first place , the most intense
jealousy exists against us. because of the
rapid development of our trade , which is
crowding the German manufacturers even in
their home markets. American steel rails ,
machinery , agricultural implements , tools
of all kinds , bicycles , typewriting machines
and novelties sell cheaper in ilerhin today
than similar articles of German make.
Another very sore and tender subject is
the sugar question , the mention of which to
niost Germans is like waving the proverbial
red flag before an excited bull , There is
also a feeling against the United States
fostered by the agrarian party , composed of
the nobility and large land owners , whose
Sons , sons-tn-law and other male relatives
are omcers in the army or omcehoiders Ia
the civil service , who have to be largely
supported by their fathers. They are against
us because the importation of American
food stuffs deireClfltes the price of their
own products , lessens their incomes anti
makes it more difficult each year for them
to properly unaiatain their uniform-wearing
relatives. Stilt another ecouragernent tea
a hostile feeling is time fear generally BliaretI
throughout continental Europe that the
growth and greatness of the American republic -
public is a menace to all monarchies.
Although nothing has occurred to change
any of these facts , the question of Germnau
sympathy In the present war , it propounded
today , would require a different answer.
The Germans now want America to win , net
out. of synupath.y , but out of sel.interest.
l'ersonally the kaiser wants to see us win.
German sentiment is veering to time side of
the United States for another reason-he-
cause time United States is winning ; In a
big military nation , as in a big crowd or a
big school , there is very little sympathy
with the under dog. All considerations of
interest and of admiration for sturdy lIghting -
ing ( which are of the greatest weight in
Germany ) lead the kaiser's subjects to tnko
a more favorable vimv of American success
thmnim they wore disposed to hold some weeks
ago.

To the question in writing : " \\'ill you

lag south German editor sends the following
