J It is with reflecting telescopes that many brilliant astronomical discov eries are made. Their construction, however, is not so well understood as that of the refracting telescope, the form of instrument often seen in the parks or on the streets. The lens at the upper end of a re fracting telescope is the object glass. It collects the rays of light and brings them together at a focus to form an image, which is viewed with a magnifying eyepiece. The largest refracting telescope is the well known Yerkes instrument. It has an object glass forty inches in diameter. PIPE COVERERS AT THE AEROSTAT!

PICNIC AT MOLINO BEEN CALIEO OFF Announcing a change of plans and the reasons therefor, the Molino Ad vertiser prints the following in refer ence fo the picnic which was to have been held there on independence day: The big Fourth of July picnic for Molino has been called off. The cau of this change of plans was that the W- O. W , the leading factor in the picnic, drew up tentative plans fig uring that the other lodges would as sist them m the matter, and went ahead ,-md advertised it in the news papers and with handbills, but after further developments, when they called on the other lodges, they did not get the required support, thereby making it necessary for them to drop the picinc. After it was learned the W- O. W. would no longer be associa ted with the movement, it was taken up by the Molino Commercial Asso ciation, but it was then too late to start proceedings so it was thought better to call it off entirely. However, the Commercial Associa tion has taken up and started work on a picnic to be held on the day of the completion of the bridge across the Escambia river at Molino. This promises to and will be trie biggest picnic that Molino has ever had and even- c"ort is being put forth for its success.

"I can pick up a log of wood and throw it on the fire with as much ease as I could 20 years ago," said Judge M. L. Woodson, of Jericho, Ark., in telling of the remarkable benefits he has derived from Tanlac while in Jac obi's Pharmacy, in Mem phis, recently- Judge Woodson, who is now 70 years of age, served the entire fojr years of the Civil War in Foster's command. He lived two years in Memphis right after the war, and then settled on his present estate, where he has lived continuously for 50 years. Judge Woodson states that his only possessions when he started out for himself were a pair of mules and $38 in cash. He made his for tune fanning and trading, and is now probably the wealthiest planter in Critenden county. He served two terms as tax assessor and 20 years as justice of the peace, and is one of the most prominently known men in Arkansas. "I had been in a general run-down condition and failing health for 10 or 12 years," he continued, "and for the past ten years I wasn't able to get up on my horse from the ground; I had to lead him to a block or something before I could mount. Jericho is a mile and a half from my plantation and I hadn't been able to walk there for my mail, according to my usual custom, for a year or two. "I had lost my appetite and could hardly eat anything at all. I real'ze that a man 70 years old will give way, but I cot so I couldn't put a los of wood on the fire when the negroes were not handy. My doctor wouldn't allow me to eat any meats or much of anything else except vegetables, as I had been threatened with diabetes; but Tanlac has straghtened me out in that respect. I was badly out of sorts, and it looked like nothing I could take would do me any good or give me enough strength to look after mv farm hands and mv crops. "Last spring, when Tanlac begun to be advertised and everybody was talk- j ing about it, I decided to see what it would do for me. Well, it got me start-1 ed back up hill at once; but, without) going into details about my rapid im- j provement with each bottle, I'll just i say that after taking six bottles I could straddle my horse from the ground and walk that mile and a half I for my mail with all ease. In fact, it just built me up until I really felt 20 years younger. I'm more active and have more strength and energy than I've had in years. See how spry I walk? I don't walk like a man a day over 40, do I ? That's what Tanlac has done for me. I don't know what Tan lac has in it that does you so much good, but whatever it is, it certainly hits the spot and builds you up bet- j tor than anything I ever saw. It cer ; tainly has made a new man of me, and j I've told lots of people about it- My j wife has taken it, too, and it has built j her up wonderfully; and I've bought j lots it for my negroes and it has J helped all of them that have taken it. 1 Genuine Tanlac is sold only and ex I clusively in Pensacola by the Crystal Pharmacy.

It was a revision of a for i mer resolution recalled because of I fear that the question might be rais ; ed as to the legality of the operators ; agreeing upon a price, even though at ! the instance of the government, At ' torney General Gregory having sent I word that R. Colton Lewis, special ! assistant attorney general, who had I been conferring with the operators. I had no right or authority to outline what the government policy might be under the anti-trust laws in connec tion with price fixing. As soon as this resolution was agreed to, another one was presented under which it was proposed that the government authorize the government representatives named in the resolu tion to issue a statement forthwith fixing a tentative price which in their judgment shall be a fair and reason able one for the various districts jVid to be effective from July 1 until the committee shall fix a permanent price.

He suggested that the tentative fixing of prices should no affect present contracts or export trade.
