THE MICRoToME.
A New and Useful Invention by Professor
Taylor.

Professor Taylor, the microscopic of the
Agricultural Department, has perfected an lnven-
tion which will be Of great assistance in micro.
scopical work. In securing sections from animal
tissues II Is necessary to freeze the tissue In order
to secure perfect sections. The apparatus called
the mcrotome, which is used for this purpose, is
kept filled with ether, and the tissue spread upon
the wax surface Is gradually hardened ntoa frozen
state Owing to the rapidity with which
the ether eyaporates, the freezing process fire.
quently requires M hours time and then does
invention consists In illlng a tank with crushed
Ice aud salt, which Is suspended above the micro
tome, The water from the melted ice runs down
and fills the spaces In the microtome, and an out
let below allows the water to run off, SO that With
out any laec- on the part of the experimental the
cooling agent Is kept constantly reinforced. The
tissue is rapidly frozen and kept In this condition
as long as may be desired.

The Atlanta Exposition.

Pablo interest in the great expo
sition of the South is rapidly in
creasing. Visitors from every section
of the country arearriving at Atlanta
every dav in large numbers. 1t is
expected the latter part of this and
the early part Of next month will
bring the largest crowds there ever
witnessed at an exposition in this sec
ton. That the affair is already a
grand success is settle 1t is a sue
cess far beyond the expectations of
those who origi nated it and assisted
in setting it on foot.
Mr.. Edward Atkinsin, of Boston,
who conceived the idea of the expo
sition and TO whose efforts its success
is largely due, and who is now in at
tendance on it, writes letter TO the
Herald of recent date in which he
says:
Having come here with a committee
of the New England Cotton Manufac-
turers Association and other gentle
men greatly interested in cotton man
ufacture, [ desire to express their pro-
found convictions of the great impor-
lance and grand success of this expo
sition at Atlanta. In what [ say as
to their Judgment, [ fully concur.
The exhibition exceeds in its scope,
in it's influences and in it's complete
ness, anything that | ever dared
dream of, and it gives me painful
sense Of responsibility even to have
suggested the idea. Few can con-
ceiye the magnitude, the variety and
the influence Of what there is here.
NV friends concur with me in the
Judgment that there are the begin
nings of greater improvements, and
results more profoundly affecting the
whole industry of this country
in this exhibition than in any
great exhibition ever held anywhere,
and several of my friends are familiar
with most exhibitions that have been
held. The industrial revolution now
proceeding and far advanced in this
Southern land must be seen to be APP
pretended. and its visible and tangi-
bic results are here. No one has any
private interest in connection with
this elton of our common country;
no one who has any public interest in
the welfare of our ma ion can afford to
stay away from here who can spare
the time to come. If / may use the
expression, the potentialities Of the
future are to be found here in the
ores, in the timber, in the coal, in
the productions of agriculture, in new
apparatus, new machinery and abso
lutely new inventions for the treat
ment of cotton-all in wonderful
variety

tyrant Let us confine him. as we
are attempting to do many of the
other evils which beset US.
b. producing So much cotton we
over-supply the demand and create
no demand for our surplus. Con.
sequently down goes the price of
cotton on our hands and we but
little more than make expenses.
On the other hand; by depending
on the prices of our cotton to buy
our meat and bread, &c, we create
a great demand for those necessa-
ries hut do, not supply any of that
demand. Consequently Il D goes the
price OF the other fellow, meat and
bread. Cotton IS king who once
empowered, cuts us merciless.,
through and through with a two
edged sword.

the entire South would only attend
