ACHROMATIC  TELESCOPE. 
Few  things  are  more  interesting  or 
useful  in  both  leisure  and  busy  moments 
in  the  country  than  a  good  telescope,  or 
harder  to  find.  We 
believe  that  we  have 
in  this  a  thoroughly 
good  telescope  that 
we  can  offer  to  our 
subscribers  in  confi¬ 
dence  that  it  will  give 
satisfaction.  When 
extended  it  is  over  16 
inches,  and,  when 
closed,  6%  inches  in 
length.  On  a  clear 
day  you  can  distinctly 
see  time  on  a  tower 
three  miles  away. 
The  moons  of  Jupiter 
can  be  seen  with  it. 
The  telescope  tubes 
are  made  from  heavy 
polished  brass ;  the 
body  is  covered  with 
morocco,  making  a 
thoroughly  substan¬ 
tial  instrument.  It  is 
achromatic  ;  that  is, 
does  not  blur  the 
vision  by  a  confusion 
of  colors.  Retail 
price,  $4.50.  Price  to 
our  subscribers,  sent 
prepaid,  S3.  Or,  for  $3.50  we  will  send 
the  telescope  and  extend  your  own  sub¬ 
scription  for  one  year.  Special  offer  : 
Given  as  premium  to  any  old  subscriber 
who  will  send  us  three  new  subscriptions 
to  date  from  receipt  to  January,  1893, 
and  $4.  We  test  each  one  before  sending 
it  out.  The  user  must  remember  that 
the  tubes  should  be  pulled  out  full  length, 
and  the  adjustment  to  the  eye  made  only 
with  the  section  nearest  the  eye  piece, 
moving  it  out  and  in  as  necessary.
