An artist who was sketching on a
Japanese islnnd found himself ablo to
perpetrate a mysterious joko in a very
simplo manner. Ho was at work on
the beach, overlooked by a crowd of
villagers. Ho says:
1 noticed then what extraordinary
effects colors produce on those whose
eyes are unaccustomed to them. A
man in tho crowd would get excited,
open his eye* wide and show his teeth
every time 1 happened to touch with
my brush tho cobnlt Mile on my pal
ette. Other colors had not tho same
effect. His eyes were continually fixed
on the bine, anxiously waiting for the
brush to dip into it, and this would
send him into fits of merriment.

intervals with irrcplessible enjoyment.

A Han Fraucisco, Cal., special says:
Ex-Senator James G. Fair is inter
ested in a tolcseopo building project
which may result in the construction
of the greatest stnr magnifier the world
lias ever seen.
The instrument will not only bring
distant planets nearer than tho great
equatorial at Lick observatory, but it
will permit as many as fifty persons to
use it at Iho same time. Tbe instru
ment has been perfected by Professor
George, formerly director of the as-
tronimical station nt Melbourne, but
now in tho -Paris observatory.
There ho lias worked on his new
telescope, which will have no tube.
It will bo a reflector with a mirror
tweuty foot in diameter. The cost
will not be more than 8100,000, yet it
will have ten times the light-giving
power of tho Lick Observatory glass.
