Microscopic Li~u Of %vi.isiii,y.
Helmholtx and other mAth-maticiAns
Of the first order who have applied their
methods of analysis ,o the subject have
alleged that the limit II visibility with
the microscope has bern reached This
belief ~ based ON the theory that light
itself Is too coarse to permit the suidi-
visian by which yet smaller objects
may be- revealed Ia our most powerful
lenses. The limit Of visibility has been
named AT the isO.Oooth Of AN inch. Hut
this view is not wholly accepted by
microscopists. The Rev. Vim. II. bal
linger has made experiments which
point Ia avery different conclusion. lie
employs a new method of practical oh
servAtion specially adapted Ia testing
this question. and has constructed lenses
which carry the limits Of distinct WISH
bility far beyond the boundary announ-
ced by the mathemAticians. Much
smaller objects are thus revealed than
the theory referred 10 would indicate
"a capable Of being Furthermore
Mr.. Dallinger does not believe that he
has yet reached the limit Of division
and visibility by instrumental means.

the nearest practical approach Ia such
treatment, DIR. Cameron took the chill

jected them 10 Turkish baths daily for
two weeks. Although the wounds were
very severe, they healed without diff
ficulty, and 40 symptoms of the dreaded
malady have been manifested. Hydro
