THE MICROSCOPE AS a DETECTIvE.-In
Germany, some years ago. it was discovered
by the authorities of q railway that !, barrel
which, on being dispatched from :, station
contained silver coin, had, during the jour
ney to its destination, been empticd of its
contents and filed with sand. For some
time no clcw to the perpctrator of the rob-
berry could be discoveries but ut length Il
learned professor. having been consulted on
the subject called in the aid ola microscope.
The professor went TO work on the track at
once. He. knowing that. even in the very
minutist degree. there was Il distinct differ
cncc in the sand found near the various sta
tions along the railway line, sent for sam
piles Oft from each of the places through
which the train containing the silver coin
had passed With the microscope he then
carefully examined each sample, compared
it with the sand in the barrel and thus iden-
tilted the station from which the latter had
been procured. Having in this ingenious
manner found out the station he wanted,
little difficulty remained: for the railway
servants employed at it, by one Of whom
the robbery had deem committed, were so
few in number that the culprit was readily
detected. In this ingenious manner the
thief was found.

THE full magnitude of the damage
wrought by the recent Western cyclone
cannot be appreciated at this distance
from the scene of the catastrophe that
has devastated large section of Iowa
and other portions of the country. The
appeal for aid which is sent out to-day
graphically portrays the horror of the
situation as it exists, but anything less
than personal knowledge must neces-
sarily fall short of an accurate cOncep-
tion of the awful reality. Whole dis
tricts have been laid waste happy homes
have been desolated or completely de-
stroyed, while the loss of life has
been truly appalling. From the ac-
count which we print it seems
probable that the storm kings fatal work
has involved the sacrifice of more than a
hundred lives, while millions of money
have been swept away in the path of the
dread destroyer. The charitable instinct
must be strongly stirred by the pitiful
story which the sightless messengers of
the air carry to the farthermost parts of
the country, and past experience in sea-
SONS of similar calamity has taught that
