They were about to be segregated from their fellow-men to undergo puiJshmtnt for nfftjuses they had committed against society, to. be cut oft from liberty and free v'nverse with their kind. Perhaps in that group were some so hardened that into their crime-stained souls had never come a real conception of the associations which1-hover about the anniversary of the birth of" the Babe of Bethlehem. Others', there had known Chrlstmases In happy homes- and had understood the meaning of "XTerry Christmas." Into their minds thought that had shut upon such happiness as they had known.

In former years when joy bells rong and "Peace on Earth. Good Will to Men" 'rented upon them like a benediction. "Merry Christmas!"

Max Wolf, director of the University of Hel-delourg, Qermany, is arranging to have Joha Brashear construct a large spec troscope for use in the researches of that institution Into the constituents of 1110 ikiuk's vMiicu ku to make up tr.e su-lar system. This order, coming closely on the heels of the great lens now ready for shipment. amounts to an acknowledgement that scientists must come to Pittsburg for the best instruments. Practically all of the spectroscopes now in use in the United were niado by Mr. Brash-ear, and the high refutation of these in struments has uow gone abroad and the superiority In comparison with European makes has been demonstrated.

Tha spectroscope, which is used for the determination of the composition by means of the light It emits while in a state of combustion, by dividing it iuto bands each one of which is of a chemical element, is one of tho roost delicate instruments iu use in the laboratory. It is prismatic in shnp and its surfaces must be as nearly absolutely accurate as human Ingenuity has rendered poesiMe. Here it is that Mr. Brashear'a work Is conceded to excel and from It Pittsburg haa gained a name air.ons; the scientists of the world no less great in Its way than that achieved from ita wonderful iron ad stel manufactures. The photographic lens for Dr.

Wolf will be started on Its way to Germany Wednesday, next. So delicate is the work put on it that In shipment the g-rca-test care must be taken. Not only must the ordinary danger from breakage be guarded against but a still more suMle roust be warded off. This Is the poss'bil-Jty of molecular change from the Jars It will get In transit. Careful and ur.Sform anneaUIng has been relied upon to minimize this danger, and a-system of cushions arranged to receive the ieast The lens Is packed in a box into which it tightly and this has been placed in anoUier over twice as large- and so braced that ny Jar or blow will be received upon the cushions.

Finally roars excelsior was put in the spaces around the Inner box and the heavy lid clamped down. CAMP HUNT THE LEADER. Commander Wiley of the- S. M. ot S.

VKCETAHLE WILL BE TSKD TO I.I UK DOLLARS FROM PtBLICS POCKETS. PRICE IS ALREADY ADVANCED. LOCAL COMMISSIOS MKS FIRST TO FEEL THE PBESSI KK. Cililaatln tlrev 0t of Recent Dtscoveriea In Scientific Ilot-Ilonse Methods of nl-tlvattun. Hot-house lettuce is now quivering in the grasp of the great trust octopus.

The tentacles of the trade combination, having grasped everything else on earth and in the waters under the earth haa tracked this hunvbiri vegetable to its rural hiding place and sieaed ujon it as a likely instrument for 1 -vying contributions upon tose who flud grfen stuff in the winter necessary to their well-boing. When the uses of lettace in salads and for the garnishment of sivory steaks nd chops id considered the wido-reaching character of this newest and greenest of all the trusts becomes apparent. Hotels and restaurants and private families will alike feel the effects. No intention to Jimtt the output haa been declared but rise in price has come simultaneously with the announcement that the iettuce truat has been completed. Local dealers were the first to be subjected to the new scale ar.d were required to pay 10 cents a basket more for the product than heretofore.

advance the dealers prompter added to the retail price and ali who wanted lettuce to gra-ce their Christmas feasts were forced to pay the Increased price. The principal supply of lettuce" for Pitts burg at this of the year comes from. Ashtabula. O. It "is grown in hot bouara and considerable care jd nursing to get it to a marketable Bta.idard.The supply i now in the control of the Ashtabula Lettuce Growers' Association.

The organisation was completed eariy in the week, its new scale of prices and packages becoming effective for the holiday trada. The Association consists of nine growers, who control the product of that erction cf tha country. J. A. Wallace, a Liberty avenue commission merchant, explained the workings of the new combination last night.

"In one serse the combination will rrove a benefit, not only to the buyers in bulk, but to the consumers," he "The baskets are now all uniform. They contain three pounds of lettuce no more and no leas. Heretofore, in buying lettuce, the wighta of the baskets varied. They ran Irom two and ene-haif to three and more pounds. The retail price has been 25 cents a basket; now it is 35 cents.

The packages ara row a'l uniform and ali know Just how much thev are getting. The demand during the- winter months has been on the increase during the last tm years, which has caused about to be invested In the business at Ashtabula. This sum is considered the capital stock of tha organisation." The growing cf lettuce in hot houses incurs "extra expanse aad sreat care. It Is only during recent years that the business haa been put. on a profitable basis.

The product ft short time after it waa sown and mida its appearance, waa a prev a species of g-een bug, which if not killed, destroyed the vegetation. Experiment after experiment was made to find a means of destroying the vermin in ta with futile results. One grower linally made the desired discovery. He filled a small stove with refuse" tobacco and stems and started a fire. He closed every door and kept out the air.

The hot house was filled with the smoke and the bugs were destroyed. In every lettuce hot house there is now a stove and the tobacco smoking furnace is put into operation once a week to kiil and keep out the bugs. With the discovery of this method of destroying the bugs came aa increase of the number of lettuce growers. There was a cutting of prices and baskets of all kinds and sizes. When it was demonstrated that a product was assured in every hot house, and that the market could supplied, the combination scheme was put on its feet and put Into successful operation.
