To he Editor Of The Tribune:
DEAR SIR: The great sacrifice of human life
in our City during the last year, caused by the
falling Of nearly erected buildings is sufficient to
chill the blood within Us, and should arouse the
energies Of every citizen for the enaction of aaw
for the protection of life and property against the
reckless doings Of avaricious spectators, dest
tute alike Of humanity, principles and character
1t is also proper to announce to our fellow citizens
that there are thousands of them living daily in
the Jaws Of Death though they are not Of course
aware Of it. l mean those who live in houses
built similar to those which fell in Twenty first ST.
which were expected TO stand until other build
ings were erected against them to prop them up.
Those who live in unsubstantial houses, the walls
of which are cracked and appearing to give way,
should lose no time in calling upon the proper au-
thorities to inspect them. II 1t should be the mis-
fortune Of our City to be visited by a hurricane,
as many sea coast cities have been, none OF this
class of buildings could Withstand the shock,
hence a wreck of human life and property must
naturally follow, the like Of which cannot be es
timated. We have eady too much proof OF the
disastrous effect Of speculative building. Let US

b. Hasert, Optical and Astronomical instrument
maker in Cincinnati Ohio has just completed
compound microscope which he designs exhiolting.
in person. at the Worlds Fair. The manufacturer
claims that its magnifying power surpasses that OF
any other instrument ever made Ia this or any
other country. Its highest capacity being TO mag
nifty any object to six thousand diameters, which
makes superficial surface OF thirty SIX millions.
We examined some minute particles oil dust OF
secondary scales, from the wing OF butterfly
These have been seen with microscopes lines
cunning parallel with the sides OF the dust par
ticles, both longitudinaly, downwrds, and trans
versely This is all that has hitherto been OBJ
served. This microscope, however, shows that ON
these longitudinal lines Of the dust OF the butterfly,
and between them, there are arranged number
of little scales similar to the scales of fish,
Between each pair of lines are seen from i've or
six rows of these little scales. For instance, q
dust particle from the back of the body OF sphinx,
measuring the one fifth of an inch in length, and
two hundredths Ia breadth, discovers one hundred
and four longitudinal lines The number { scales
between each pair of lines in width, is six, making
the number OF scales six hundred and twenty four
over the whole width, and the number Of scales
longitudinally and downwards, twenty two hun.
bred; which makes the entire number OF scales
on the dust particle equal to fourteen thousand
millions to one square inch
On another very minute particle from the wing
of a tena, measuring only one five hundredths OF
an inch in length and one thousandth OF an inch
in breadth, the number of scales are found TO be
eighty.four thousand which will reach the number
of forty-two thousand millions to the square inch.
A very interesting examination was also made
Of a minute particle OF human blood, which en-
bbits the fact that the blood is composed Of minute
globues, which roll through the veins like shot or
quicksily An examination of drop Of stagnant
water disclosed numberless animalcules, which
dart about with wonderful rapidity. Anexamina-
ton of the common flea shows striking resem-
blance to the elephant in its conformation. Many
other observations OF an equally interesting cbarac-
ter were made, which we have not the space to
record Cincinnati Gazette.
