Copyright, 18 8. hy S. S3. McQure.
To the lover of science, eager o learn ail
that man can learn about tit universe,
pot ling can l>e much more dlappointing
t.ia.i the way In which the pofers of the
great telescope of tee world corns to be
wasted. But if this is so to the outsider,
who knows only that telescope* of constantly
increasing power and perfection are being
constructed, which knowledge such as he
can take interest in is not beug correspond
ingly iucreose.l, the student of science who
knows how the trouble is b'ought about, is
still more seriously pained t* find how self
conceit and the desire rafter to do what
may seem difficult than to ibtain knowledge
which will enlighten the human race, pre
vent our ablest observers, vhen put in com
mand of first-class oh ervatories, from doing
what they might to utilise the p iwers of
the magnificent instruments placed un Her
their control.
If we ask what meat telescopes are
wanted for. and what They ere actually do
ing, we may learn why nis that their ac
cuievemente are so disappointing to the uou
scientifio, and worse than disappointing t >
those who understand the reason of their
failure.
With telescopes of moderate power cer
tain most interesting aud important discov
eries have been made. And it is certain
that more powerful telescopes can never
make discoveries quite so important in
themselves, any more than the telescope
coulil disc ver anything quite so important
and interesting as what the naked eye had
already discovered—as for instance the sun
and moon, and the five planets, Mercury,
Venus, .Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The
weaker the telescopes first constructed, the
more important the discoveries they
could effect—for the simple re is m that
unless some celestial object, beyond the
large of ordinary vision, were important
and therefore conspicuous, a weak telescoiie
would have no chance of discovering it at
all. And pursuing the thoughts thus sug
gested wo perceive that tho greater the zeal
with w hich the telescopes before construe ed
had been directed to the study of the
heavens, the less of very staking interest
and importance remained to be done
py larger telescopes subsequently con
structed.
Yet it is certain that the world of science
had a right to expect from the larger tele
scopes work which would at least justify the
expense and labor devoted to their construc
tion, to say nothing of the salaries paid to ob
servers charged with the superintendence of
their employment.
The advantages which large telescopes
possess over smaller ones are not always
rightly understood. Everything is suppose .
to depend on the size of the glass or mirror
and the length of the tube in which the
glass or mirror is set, the fact being that
although magnification and illumination
depend on the telescope’s size what is ren
dered actually discernible depends on other
qualities, in such sort that tho la gesfc tele
scopes tho world has yet known have
shown less than some of inferior size but
better.optical qualities.
The telescopic object-glass, really a doubl t
glass formed of tw o lenses in close contact,
one made of crown gla-s, the other of flint
gins-, forms an image of the Object to
which it is directed, at certain distance
(called the local distance) from tho glas.-.;
the eye-gloss, also double (but the two lenses
are not m contact) is in itself a microsc >pe
by whitk this imago is examined. Now
tho image thus formed is not pe foefc even
if the object glass is perfect, (and some of
the o jeot glasses made hy the 1 tte Alva i
Clarke aud his two sons were as nearly per
fect as could well be). The image, for
instance, of a star, which should be a point,
is a disk, with several rings round it. The
details of the image of the sun or moon or
of a planet, are in like degree, though n >t
in the same way, affected by optical peculi
arities. All such peculiarities are magni
fied by tbo eyo-pieoe; and although with
magnifying power tip to a certain value the
defects remain undiscerniblo; they become
prominent with high powers in such sort
(hat there is a limit to the power which may
bo applied with advantage to any telescope.
There would be such a limit even t'uougu
the magnifying by the eye-piece
were absolutely perfect. But it is not. In
this case, as in the formation of tho focal
image, optical effects are produced which
modify the details of the object ex
amined; and if magnifying power is over
pressed render vision altogether imper
fect.
To take one of tho simplest cases, in order
to recognize the effect of these optical
peculiarities, suppose we are observing a
close double star. The image of this should
be two blight [mints at a certain distance
apart; and tho higher the magnifying power
toe more this disfcauoe would be increased.
Were the irmg' : such as this, all the ob
server would have to do in order to recog
nize the duplicity of the star, would tie to
magnify sufficiently tho focal image so that
h.s eye could recognize the distance between
the two points of light. But as a matte 1- of
fact the image of the and mble star consists of
two disks or light, whoso false size may
suffice to cover the distance between tho
two stars, and prevent the observer from
recognizing it as double, though lie may
notice that the image is elongated. In this
case it does not matter how mucti he may
increase the magnifying power of the eye
piece he employs, (or technically, it does not
matter what power lie may use) the two
il.sks will overlap an 1 the double star will
r main optically single. But if a telescope
with larger object glas is employed,the disks
into which the two stars are optically altered
(from their true point-like character, for
the stars arc all of them much too lar away
to show their real dimensions) are relatively
smaller. If the object glass is large enough
tho stars which had been altered with the
smaller telescope into overlapping d.sks,
appear as disks separate 1 by a well defined
interval. The rings which I before men
tioned as surrounding the opt ical imago of
a star, do not seriously inter.ere witu the
observer’s recognition of tho double star’s
nature—the distance between Its compon
ents, the direction of the line joining them,
lt:e!r relative brightness and so forth. Tlie
larger tho telescope tho bettor the view
'jj.allied. Aud of course, in cates where
tile study of a double starling been rendered
dulloult ny tiie faintness of ono or other or
hjth of the compoueu s, the increase of size
hy increasing the illuminating power of
‘•he teloscopo, makes the observations of
too double at once easier aiul more satisfac
tory.
What is true of a delicate or difficult
double star is true of the delicate deiaiU ot
a planet, comet, or nebula, of tiie moon
surface and of the run’s. Every increase oi
me size ot a telescope, so only that the
ops teal qualities of tuo larger telescopes are
i’ id, increases the correct essof tiieoptical
image, aud therolore enables higher power
hi ho employed in examining that image.
Moreover the quautity ot light is increased
almost as the uioa of ihe object glass (not
idle, because large glasses must be thicker
and so alisorb somew hat morn light) and
i .'refore magnifying can lie pushed farther,
hr of course utagulty ins is limited, in the
l ’a •# ot nil objects not, like th - sun, intensely
hiight, by the quantity of light lu the
image, tiie same image which magnified
■nei atcly looks bright and distinct, will,
if unduly magnified, appear so dull and dim
butt us details will not be discernible.
• ‘ ilh large telescopes then, other things
'“dug equal, more may be tearnol about any
Kive.i o.iject of telcsco.dc study than with
’ all r instruments. The large telescopes
foe of 4x>urre more difficult to Use effectually;
“kt that say mg no more agsniwt theui
than it is to say that they cost more in
construction aud in repair, or that more
must lie paid to the observers who take
charge of them. Whatsoever has been
seen, in any celestial object with small
instruments, moro can be seen with larger
ones.
What then may we expect from the
splendid telescopes which have been made
a iring the last quarter of a century, or per
haps I should put the popular feeling re
specting them more correctly if I were to
say that the question really is: Why baa
so little been learned by their means com
pared with what had been expected?—uav
compared with what astronomers had
seeme 1 definitely to promise from their use.
Until the middle of the present century few
large telescopes wero constructed which
were not at once employed in making
noteworthy discoveries. Later, however,
scarce me in twenty of tie great tele
scopes has done work in which any but the
salaried astronomers employed to take
charge of them can pretend to tuke.lhe lea.-.t
interest.
It is In the first plaoo said, in reply to
these natural doubts, that much of the work
of public observatories is such as the gen
eral public neithoir cares for nor can be ex
pected to understand. The exact observa
tions by which the character of the heavens
as a gigantic dial-plate for determining
time,longitude, latitude ands t forth,must tie
carefully carried out in tho first place, trace
it is for such work that the great national
observatories were primarily founded. This
is perfectly just, though it is the casi that
even such observatories as these have in
fact been pushed far beyond the require
ments of commerce and navigation, inso
much that tho observers in somo of the
great national observatories of the world
are apt to smile (somewhat as ihe augurs of
old time must have done) when they hear it
said that on their observations the safely of
ocean traveling depend*. Ail that is neces
sary to keep nautical almanacs perfect guides
for seamen might be done at o.:e hundredth
of the expense defrayed upon the great
national observatories "of the world. But
astronomers know that though so far as
their primary object is concerned national
observatories have been considerably over
done, yet most valuable astronomical re
searches are conducted at Greenwich and
Washington, Vienna, and Paris, at Dubiiu,
Cape Town, and Melbourne, we are unwilling
to acknowledge what we know to be really
the case, that these great observatories are
maintained to some degree under false
pretences—since neither parliament nor
congress, neithor imperial nor royal rulers,
care euougti about the satellites of Mars, or
spectroscopic observations of the sun, to
provide the annual expenses of great observ
atories to be employed on such researches.
By a convenient fiction these observatories
are supposed to be maintained in the inter
ests of commerce; luckily, if they are much
less needed for that purpose than is sup
posed, they have other uses. And in particu
lar they are supplied with powerful tele
scopes, praetic >ily useless so far as naviga
tion is concerned (being equatoriaily not
meridianally mounted), but very good for
observing sun, moon, planets aud stars, f r
physical details. And e lough observers are
provided to keep those flue instruments well
iu use. (Sturdy old Airy would scarcely
let any of his staff use the Greenwich equa
torial till the last few years of his long ad
ministration, when he weakened a little on
that point.)
I do not know any sufficient reason, how
ever, for the comparative failure of all the
great t descopea in national observatories.
The obseivei-s have better opportunities
then others for doing original work, and
ample time. Yet somehow very few dis
coveries of interest hare been made at
national observatories. Occasionally when
interesting ob ervations have been made
else bore, tho head of a national observatory
will condescend to let some of his staff use
the large lele-cone in the same work, or evon
turn his own attention to tuo matter. But
cases of the kind are few and far between.
(At a time when every astronomer worthy
the name was interested in Higuor Sciiia
perelli’s observations of Mars, Prof. New
comb’s Popular As ronoiuv appeared with
an absolutely valueless picture of Mars,
drawn by Prof. E. ri. Holden with t o great
26-inch refractor. The same splendid telo
sco[ie, however, supplied one of the ex
ceptional cases I have described, when
Prof. Asaph Hall, a genuine as ronomar,
s -arched for Martian satellites and discov
ered tho two nowknown.)
The caso is somewhat simi’or with t’ae
line telescopes set up at many colleges and
universities. These have certainly disap
pointed the reasonable expectations if as
tronomers. It cannot be altogether the
fault of the observers. Indeed,in some ca-es
observers who have already done good
work with sinallor instruments have been
appointed to control these larger instru
ments whose w rk bus been thus disappoint
ing. In some cases, doubtless, the failure of
large telescopes has been due to the selection
of unlit directors; men being put iu com
mand of ftiie instruments who have either
already failed previously in similar posi
tions, or who are known to be without any
real zoal in tiie cause of astronomy. (One
of these recently broug it in a bill for |6,000
“for services rendered” befoie the observa
tory to which he had tieen appointed chief
was at work. These services, consisting of
a fea - journeys—expenses fiee —and letters
with suggestions in regard to the instrument
for superintending the work of which this
person was to receive a high salarv, the
time thus employed not being in reality his
own, but belonging to a university paying
also a most handsome salary. Asa rule,
however, we must not attribute the failure
of the oliservatories either to inadequate
observing skill or to insufficient zeal.)
To find the real reason why the large tele
scopes have not done what they might have
been expected to do, we must consider what
they have been employed iu doing. We
find that, almost without an exception,
instead of continuing the work which smaller
telescopes have begun, they have beeu em
ployed in other work, suitable indeed to
their great powers so far as difficulty is
concerned, but of no original interest what
soever. By a sort of affectation, of which
they are half unconscious, Ihe managers of
these large tele-copes ure led to devote their
work ratUer to what only largo telescopes
can do than what is really well worth doing.
A telescope of moderate power will show
details on a planet, a large telescape will
show these details better, or will show more
details; but these observers will not direct its
powers to such work for a comparatively
small telescope armed with a spectrosoope
will disclose most interesting fact* respect
ing the structure of the sun, the nature of
his marvelous surroundings, and so forth; a
larger one would hi: able to confirm and
extend these discoveries, showing more
details ami indicating tbe real nature of
phenomena before perhaps but partially
understood; but the observer who bah dis
tinguished himself and delighted contem
porary astronomers iu his work with a
smaller instrument will not turn the more
powerful telescope placed at his disposal for
just such work to die renewal and improve
ment of his former researches. Ho with
almost every department of astronomical
observation in wiiiou not only the public but
astronomers have taken deepest interest.
The powers of tho large telescopes are de
voted to researches only remarkable because
of their difficulty—tho observation of very
minute satellites, the measurement of ex
ceedingly close double stars, and other such
matters, whieh are not only uninteresting to
the general public, but almost utterly value
less oven in the eyes of the most earnest
students if astronomy.
Tbe problems still remaining for solution
by telescopic research are those which have
already been opouod by moans of telescopes
of moiierato power. We want to see more
clearly and so to understand better, the
details, processes, aud movement* wnich
have already iuUrestod us. Information on
these points is the bread for whieh tbe gen
eral public look to us, the students of the
noblest of tho soiencos. Wo must not. In
stead, offer them a stone.

AUTUMN HATS IN LONDON
CLEVER LONDON MILLINERS AND
HOW THEY ATTRACT TRADE.
An Afternoon Tea-Drinking of a Fash
lonab’.e Establishment—Hats as They
Are Worn—Fall Novelties in Mantles
and Tailor Gowns The Fur Bow
About the Neck ot the English Girl.
(Copyright , 1859.)
London, Sept. 19. —Tbereare half a dozen
clever milliners in London. Afternoon tea
at a milliner’s institution has been duly cali
brated the world over and imitated to some
small extant in New York. But the growth
of the social side of millinery here is some
thing surprising. It seems to lie the milliner’s
aim to supply in some measure the lack of
clubs or s cial rendezvous for women, and
to a! tract to themselves the tired shoppers,
overtaken perhaps by a shower, who ask
nothing bettor than a cozy place in which
to sit down, look over their parcels aud
chat with a friend. The milliners make
themselves women’s headquarters, women’s
reading rooms, women’s lounging rooms,
women’s most appreciated resorts. London
women seem to like to depend on their mil
liners, and it is certainly to the milliner’s
advantage.
FALL MILLINERY.
It is 4 o'clock and wet underfoot. This is
the hour at which tea is drawn fresh every
afternoon at home, for an Englishwoman
could easier go without breakfast than her
afternoon cup of tea. You are just passing
Mine. *3; there are sure to be people you
know there; suppose you step in; step up
rather, for a swell milliner usually has her
parlors up-stairs. His gorgeousness, tho
flunkey, who might be the Lord Mayor of
London, opens the door. And is it not a pret
ty place to lie ushered into after the chill of
toe cloudy day outside?
Soft carpet in harmonious colors under
foot. Delicately tinted paper on the walls.
Paintings and artists’ proof etchings, for
madanie is something of a connois-eur,
hauging at just the right high! for the eye.
Bronzes, jars aud vases of \V edgewooil aud
Worcester wares, bits of art furniture
touched hero with enamel and there daintily
carved, a harp, a mandolin and plenty ot
music, mites of tea tables in recesses set
with t te-a-tete pieces aud a couple of white
cappod rnaids pouring as good lea as is found
in L radon and serving wafers of bread and
butter and tiny cakes.
A halt dozen intimates are enjoying their
second cup. Madame is all hostess. Not
a bonnet is in sight. Tho talk is of the
wretched weather, of the theater, ad, hy
and by, of fall costumes. There is aportiere
banging in the doorway yonder. Brush it
to one side, as everybody does sooner or later,
and tbe business end of trie establishment is
in view. It is impossible that, nia lame’s tea
being so good, her bonnets sh raid be other
wise. And, indeed, it Is not alone the rosy
glow - of g rod nature induced by rist and
refreshment that disposes of the confections.
Women clever enough to originate such
methods of inducing the :oey glow are
clever enough to make good bon
nets, too.
Madame herself tries on a fall hat.
Madame poses in the hat to show you just
how it should be worn. The hat is the typical
English hat this fall, very low crowned and
quite broad in the brim. The hat is covered
and lined with heavy black velvet. Blaok
ribbon is set inside and brought round iu
front to tie just upou the curls of front hair.
More black ribbon is displayed in loops
above and two blaok ostrich plumes wave
over tbe crown. Madame is an English
blonde, and tbe soft black suits her to a
charm.
THE PICTtTRESQtT* CURL.
Madame is just opening her fall millinery.
All her hats are very large, except the tur
tians, and these, with the bonnets, are very
small. The English girl is going to indulge
in picturesque contrasts this autumn. On
fete occasions she [loses as a Reynolds pic
ture. Background of hat, Immense hat;
feathers, immense feathers. Decided tints
to set off the complexion. Very dark
greens, golden browns, dark blues, some
times rubies and crimsons, all in velvet and
topped with great Oitrich feathers. Hats
for tall girls, stately, and reminding one of
tne time gone by.
For shopping, traveling and incidental
calling, for all Informal wear, the whim of
the season is entirely different. Your
Gainsborough beauty is metamorphosed
into your trim, prim, vsry modern turbansd
damsel. The fall turban is nothing more
nor less than a close-fitting toque. Mad
ame s prettiest—it passes from hand to hand
and is admired in succession on half a dozen
pretty heads—is a toque of file black straw
with a deep brim of mmi green velvet.
Its crown is hidden under loops of moss.
?;reen ribbon and sprays of tea-roses and
oilage.
Flowprs have not given up the battle
as against feathers as readily as
usual this fall. The poppy bonnet is one of
tho smartest going. It is formed entirely
of one great red poppy and poppy bud, la
leaves of silk and velvet, mounted on a vel
vet frame a id fitting snugly down upon the
bead. Tbe English observe tbe demi-udson
much more generally than do American
milliners, and for (September and October
days display headwear trimmed with col
ored leaves, autumn fruite, etc , most of it
very ugly, aud none especially pre.ty, if
ono excepts the occasional bunch of jing-
ling wheat or spray of haz ;lnutsand leaves.
The bir.l has c >me back to the hat, as he al
ways does in the fall, protestations against
the destruction of the winged creatures to
the contrary notwithstanding. He is rather
larger than usual this season—a white sea
bird very commonly—and ne perches with
outstretched wings against folds of velvet or
ribbon at the back of the hat’s orown.
FASHIONABLE LONDONERS.
It is seldom that hats are trimmed at the
back for many seasons in succession. Mil
liners worked for two or t hree years to get
the bows and posies away from the face os
a novelty, and last, spring they succeeded.
This fall there are alr.ady signs of a coming
return to the old way. In the London mil
liners’ windows hats are about evenly di
vided. Half of them have tbe garnitures
massed over the forehead and half of them
have the trimmings beuind, as during tbe
summer season.
Fall gowns fill the shop windows, though
Londoners will not be at home for weeks to
look at them. A stray creature, back from
Trouville for a day possibly, passed down
Regent street this morning in front of me.
She wore a Russian walking gown in u
rough finished gendarme-blue oloth, edged
about neck and sleeves and about toe hot
tom of the skirtand pleated panel with Lap
land fox fur. Everybody put* on fur inonthi
earlier than with us, and indeed it is hard
ly taken off all summer. Fur-edged gowns
aud fur capes are seen in the streets in July.
The long fur boa which began to prevail
last winter will be seen everywhere tins.
London girls are wearing them
already. Indeed one of Madanie, the milli
ner's, visitors, whom I had quite forgotten,
has one o i before our eyes. Hers is madi
of fine Russian bear’s fur, very soft and
long. The boa measures something more
than throe yards, is clas[>od closely at the
throat, hanging down over tho front of thi
gown.
I he especial novelty of the season in Lin
don are the long and richly ornamented
cloth man les, which will, to some extent,
take the place of the heavier fur wraps thi
winter. For theater and opera wear women
who pride themsalvei on keeping quite
up wit.i the inodes will like something re
sembling a study in old blu s brocade, which
was suown me this morning. The dolman
sleeves of this very smart garment fed to
the ground, and both sleeves and yoke pieces
were bordered by a pinked out ruclio in
blue faille. The prettiest thing r.bout the
niautle was its front, which was formed of
a full gathered vest iu blue faille, tied at
the waist, and falling in two ends, finished
with ornaments in blue b3ade.
LONG MANTLE AND REDINOOTE.
A simpler mantle for day or evening
wear was in mouse-gray cloth, with collar
and yoke piece in gray and white velvet, and
with a brood band of velvet about the hem.
Still a third long visite was in striped green
velvet, with cape gathered at tbe back in
plain green Sicilienno aud the long sleeve
urned back with revers lined with Hici
lienne.
The tailor gown seems going by, or at
least becoming greatly modified in Araeri
ca, but here it is still in full swing. The new
est tailor ooatuuie brought out in London is
made of dark blue or black serge. The
back of the skirt is long and slightly dratted,
while the front it lifted about a quarter of a
yard to show a petticoat of deep red intri
cately braided with black. The waistcoat
is ot red braided with blapk, aud the blue
serge bodice fastens across at the warnt wit b
two antique silver buttons. The serge
sleeves are cut up and turned back to show
tbe braided reds. With such a gown is
worn a blue Glengarry cap with the side
flaps tied over tbe [leak with red ribbons.
