land somewhere in the vicinity of Charles River. A great change came over the party when they saw how nicely everything operated, and Uncle Abel said that from that time he was satisfied that his omnibus line had got to go under. Meetings of the directors at this time were very frequent, but no business of importance was transacted which would interest the public at this day. The subject which seemed to interest the directors most was the question of purchasing two lots on Lambert [now Huron] Avenue; another subject agitated at this time was the purchase of iron cars—electrics were not dreamed of in those days. The first president of the company, Mr. H. H. Stimpson, was elected December 6, 1855, and at the same meeting an assessment of twenty-five per centum on the capital stock was laid, and the following vote was unanimously passed: That the president be authorized to contract with E. Tucker for twenty (20) harnesses, provided he will take one share of stock in part payment

of the machines, and how to get from them the largest amount and the highest quality of goods they are capable of producing. The business of Denio & Roberts changed hands several times, and competitors arose in the West and elsewhere, but each of the successive owners of the concern in Boston added something to the efficiency of the machinery built by it,—indeed, they were forced to do so, because in order to live they had to be progressive. In 1886 it passed from the hands of W. O. Taylor Co. into those of Barbour & Stockwell,—Walworth O. Barbour, of Cambridge, and Frederic F. Stockwell, of Somerville, who continued the business at No. 11 Chardon Street, Boston. The firm of Walworth O. Barbour & Co. was founded in 1882, and consisted of Mr. Barbour, Alfred Morrill, and Albert F. Allen, all of Cambridge. Previous to that time the Walworth Manufacturing Co. had occupied the greater part of the building owned by Allen & Endicott, but they had moved to the new works purchased b

In an article written by Professor Simon Newcomb, and published in Scribner's Magazine in 1873, he says: When we trace back the chain of causes which led to the construction of the great Washington telescope, we find it to commence with so small a matter as the accidental breaking of a dinner-bell, in the year 1843, at the Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. One of the students, George B. Clark by name, gathered up the fragments of the bell, took them to his home in Cambridgeport, melted them, and cast them into a disk. His father, Alvan Clark, assisted him, and the combined skill of father and son produced a five-inch reflecting telescope. Alvan Clark, the father, was born in Ashfield, Mass., in 1804, and was at this time a portrait painter; he had decided mechanical tastes, and at one time had worked as a fine-line engraver. Takin

They number many scores of men and women who have worked for it from a dozen to twenty years. At the other end of the line in Boston, the work is done with equal zeal and discretion. Over twenty traveling salesmen and thirty office-employees are engaged in distributing the manufactures of the company, while the branch stores in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, and San Francisco almost double this staff. It is not often that it can be said that a young man undertakes the management of a business within a year of graduation (Mr. Davis is a Harvard ‘83 boy), and builds it up to so high a plane, without a single period of relapse. In each year since 1882 the annual sales have increased, the credit has bettered, and the standing of the concern become more firm. It has steadily discounted its purchases of raw material, and even during panic years has seen no day w
