The Story of the Micro.eope.

Tne STORY OF the Microscope.
AMERICAN ABREAST WITH THE WORLD IN
MANUFACTURING THE INSTRUMENTS.
"Americans make as good microscopes as
any one can ask for" said q member of the
microscopists' convention at Cleveland last
week, "and, by the way, ANEW York man, now
dead, did as much to bring microscopes up to
their present high standard as any living man.
refer to Charles A. Spencer, q native of Len
nox, N. Y. Who invented the microscope ?
No one knows. Lenses of rock crystal taken
from the ruins OF Nineveh suggest that micro
scopes may have been used in those times
Drebbel, Dutchman, and Fontana, Neapoli-
tan, have each been credited with the honor.
Jansens & Son made microscopes early as
1890, but they were awkward affairs, with
tubes six feet long. The first great scientific
microscopic was Antony Won Leenwenhock,
who fourished In 1857. He made his own In
struments. In 1847 Charles Spencer made for
DR.. Gilman, of New York, the f1rst American
microscope that attracted much attention.
There were not then more than four or five
achromatic micros copes in all New York, and
In al! probability not hundred good instru-
ments In America. Now half q dozen Ameri-
microscopes and microscopical supplies, such
"a glycer1ne and zinc cement used In mounting
specimens, ready mounted specimens and all
manner OF microscopes from toy affairs to in
struments costing $500 and more. Prof II. l..
Smith, Of Hobart college, and president Of our
society, has made several important discoveries
In mlcroscopical instruments, one of which was
appropriated by an English drm that made
hundreds OF dollars out OF It."

HUGHES AT BlKNfH6ffAM


U. 8. Consul Hughes, of Birmingham, has
sent to the Department of State a report ON the
farms trade" of the city in which he Is located
During the past five years, there has been fall
ing off in the better grades of guns. and a cor
responding increase of the cheap grades Of STINT
lar weapons. Consul Hughes says: lone Of the
largest makers here is perfecting a gun called
the interchangeable every fitting being 50
accurately fashioned after one model es Go be
replaced by any piece in the con-
struction that may be lost or broken"
The United States takes about 20 per cent lin
value) Of the guns manufactured in Birming-
ham. American revolvers In the cheaper
grades are appearing in the English markets,
and tending to confine English manufactures
to the production of the highest and inner
grades All firearms made in Great
Britain are required by an act OF parliament to
be sent to the prqofhouse for testing before they
can be offered to the trade. During the three
quarters ended June 3Oth Of the present year,
the decrease ofgoods shipped to America over
similar period last year was almost so per

Defect IN the Law.
WHY RAPIDLY GROWING PLACES WILL NOT

1.-THE clause in the law establishing the ten

a post Office Official to-day, (which provides for
its introduction into places havinga population
of not less than 4, 900 Inhabitants, according to
the last census, will give rise to some com

81 estimate that there are over fifty towns"
was the reply, where the population during
the past five years has increased so that the
total is above the limit provided In the law.
There are, of course, q great many In the west,
where the growth is naturally more rapid than
in the more settled portions of the country,
but stin there are numerous instances Of che
same thing in the New England states"
Perhaps the population in a good many
places has decreased during the past Eve years"
suggested the reporter.
II have heard Of but few instances Of that
kind" was the reply. 1.-THE increase in popula-
ton Is more uniform In all parts OF the country
and the decay of towns In . short period is not
usual except in cases OF mining settlements or
places of q temporary character. The law
should have left it discretionary with the Post
master General to extend the system to such
places where to his best information the popu-
lation had increased"

Last Friday Chas. =. Adams, treasurer of the
Framingham tMass.l Savings bank, which has
deposits of more than a million and halt, was
notified by the bank commissioners that his
private accounts had been found to be so con-
fosed with those OF the bank that he must re-
sign. He did so unwillingly, protesting that
everything was right, and that the affair was
of the oldest, most respected and wealthiest
citizens OF the place, and SO much confidence
was felt in him that the run on the hank was
very slight. Yesterday afternoon while prepar-
atoms were making for a thorough examination
of the books by an expert, Adams went into
another room and i'm a few minutes was found
dead with his throat cut The razor with which
he had killed himself was i'm his hand, and be-
side hiIa was loaded revolver. This act leads
the commissioners to believe that affairs are In
