In tile months of June, Julj and .August ■ excessive dampness is prevalent throughout the entire. .country, especially in the southern ports. Daring these damp months furniture which is put together with. ' glue falls apart, drawers stick, roll­ ing tops refuse to work and fiat tops ■warp-and split. Furniture for use . in this climate must, therefore, be well seasoned before its manufac­ ture. During tho winter months in „north China the climate becomes extremely dry, and in and about Pekin and Tientsin the country is visited by heavy dust-storms. Fur­ niture which has buckled and warp­ ed during the summer returns to its normal state or else goes to the oth­ er extreme and exhibits cracks of­ ten half an inch or more in width.

To sclentilic men this was no less than a tragedy, since It means au expense of $50,000 and a de­ lay of a year, with the possibility that the second effort will be no more suc­ cessful. It Is doubtful If many persons ever saw a reflecting telescope. When the term telescope Is used we naturally think of an instrument with a long ‘‘barrel’' and lenses a t each end. These ate the most common, but are not in many cases the most useful. They have defects which cannot he remedied in our present state of knowledg. and they have llniltgtlons put ion them by nature whicn perhaps uj never bo overcome.

It Is open to the objection that the light .reflected back interferes With the fall­ ing rays, but Ingenuity has overcome much of the disadvantage. The largest effective instrument of this sort is a t the Xerkes observatory, hut the one planned for Mount Wilson is to be more than twice as large and much larger than that of Lord lios.se, which was so famous fifty years ago. The difficulty In constructing a lens more than eight feet In diameter arises from the fact that the glass mast be hold affairs, practical economy, government of children, and other duties tha t makes her toil a labor of love.

In Montana, tho new railroad traverses good farming land. It has been demonstrated that big crops of grain maybe raised. Along the Yellowstone and Mussellshcll rivers, the water ia used for irrigation, and phenomenal yields ofalfalfa, sugar beets, and grain, arc always certain. In the Judith Basin near Loivistown, Montana, is one of the most remarkable sections to be found on the new line. Under natural rainfall, the famous bench lands produced this year an average of 35 bushels of hard wheat to tho acre, and the price was 94cents per bushel. The basin contains about 1500 square miles' and 3&sparmlyscttlcd. Some government land stll* remains open for settlement. Agovernment land office is maintained at LcwistOwn. In Fergus County, outside the Judith Basin, is one of the greatest stock countries in the world, and good ranches can be purchased at a reasonable figure. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. has established an immigration department for the purpose of assisting in the settlement and development of the new lands now being opened.
