The Small Glass Magnifies the Picture Mad by the Large One. People sometimes wonder why a tele scope has two glasses, one at the blj end and one at the little end, and they want to know the difference. The glass at the big end 1 to gather light. It is simply a big eye. If it Is a hundred times bigger than the eye in your bead it will gather a hundred times more light. It gathers the rays of light com ing from a star and bends them all Into a common meeting- point called a fo cus, which is a picture of the star. You can look at this picture of the star with your naked eye if you like. But you can see it better and examine it more closely if you look at it with a small magnifying glass. And this Is the glass at the small end of the tele scope. It magnifies the picture made by the big glass at the other end of the instrument. AH telescopes are built on this principle. Sir William Herschel was the first to arrange matters a lit tle differently. He took away the glass from the big end and admitted the ravs coming straight Into the tu in parallel lines. Then at the bottom of the big tube be placed a bright con cave mirror made of burnished metal. When the entering rays fell upon this mirror thev were again bent to a point called a foens. which was the picture of the star. To look at this picture be had to place) the little magnifying glass at the sld of the tube because the mirror bad stopped up its lower end. Louisville Courier-Journal. Something Blind.

AriHU 1, 1914. 5 REVIVE TALK OF f : " REROUTING OF THE STREETCAR LINES Business Men's Association Dis cusses Loop in Market Square. TO INCLUDE A STATION Figure Eight Track Arrangement Of fered as Solution of Problem. The proposition to reroute the city car lines through a figure eight loop from Second and Third avenues and on Fifteenth. ' Seventeenth and Twentieth streets linked with a plan to erect an interurban passenger trans fer station in Market square took more tangible shape this morning at a meet ing of the Rock Island Business Men's association held at the association rooms, 513 Safety building. Edward 11. Guyer was chairman of the meeting. He had received plans of two architects for the rerouting of the passenger station which were sub mitted to business men assembled to take np the matter. The proposed re routing of the ear lines comes after several years of agitation, mostly of mild character, that there be an equit able division of the service over the business section of the city. The pro posal to build the station devolves on the Tri-City Railway company for any thing material. Company Is Willing. Market square is the center of busi ness activity of the city it is held. To day the business men considered that the Tri-City Railway company would be willing to build the station if ap proached in the right way. There was a question as to the attitude of the street car company regarding the size of a building it would be favorable to erecting. Several of the merchants thought the corporation to conserve its future business interests in Rock Is land would be glad to build a large building, probady three to five stories high. Others thought it would rather proceed on the more moderate scale of possibly two stories. Will the Tri-City Railway company consider the construction of a building in Rock Island as an investment? That question had supporters on each side among the merchants. Several held that the various floors could be read ily rented for offices the railway com pany thereby securing considerable revenue. The Proposed Station. The new station would be built 60x92 feet according to one set of plans. The plans provide for ample waiting rooms, lobbies, freight rooms, checking de partments, toilets, and various spaces for concessions. Street cars pulling Into the station on both the east and west sides of the station would not obstruct traffic. The tracks would be nlaced double down the middle of Seventeenth street which is 80 feet wide. If the Tri-City Railway company could be induced to move its offices to Rock Island in the event the new building is constructed considerable business would be secured for this city, including the trade of the em ployes, who would move here for resi dence. It is the plan or Mr. Guyer that the city could rent the plot of ground in Market square to the rail way company for an adequate rental which would In time accrue to be of considerable revenue, possibly enab ling the city to buy the station of the company and retain it as its ow n prop erty.

Not to be outdone by Davenport, 30 prominent citizens met last evening at the Rock Island club and formed the Rotary club of Rock Island. Officers and directors' were elected, and will hold power until June 30, when the first annual meeting of -the club will be held. The choosing of committees was postponed until the next session, owing to the late hour; The organisa tion has 30 members at the present time, and President B. D. Connelly stated today that they hoped to in crease this number 100, when plans were under way. The members will meet once each week at the noon hour. Although it is not a close organiza tion, nor intended to be a close or ganization, the idea is to have the members representative men of their calling. The formation of this club was prompted by the success of a similar club in Davenport, where it has accomplished much in civic im provements, and greatly benefited each individual member. The Davenport club has a membership of 125, and 90 per cent of these attend the weekly luncheons. The local club will be affiliated with the International Association of Ro tary clubs, with head offices in Chi cago. Over 90 cities with affiliated clubs now exist. Following are the officers chosen: President B. D. Connelly. Vice President E. H. Guyer. Secretary and Treasurer R. C. Mitchell, E. H. Guyer, Arthur B. Du von, H. H. Cleaveland, F. W. Reimers and Frank Mixter. He Was Just Thinxing. "Mary," said a man to his spouse, who was gifted with, a rapidly moving tongue, "did you ever hear the story of the precious gems?" "No," she replied.
