POWERFUL LENSES.


DISCOVERY on A GLASS WHICH VASTLY IN
PROVES THE MICROSCOPE.
That recent wonderful discovery
in microscopy has not been even not
ed in the public press may be cited as
proofs of the general apathetic ten
dency as regards scientific matters,
says The st. Louis Post Dispatch.
The microscope has always been re-
garded as a wonderful instrument. but
by the discovery of an entirely new
KIND of glass lately its powers are in
creased to an incredible degree. 1t
was in the year 1878 that DR.. Abbey
read a paper before the South Ken
sington association in England, in
which he strongly set forth his ideas
that it was possible that a new kind
Of glass might be made which would
increase the power of the microscope.
In the year of 1881 he and DR.. Scott,
celebrated chemist, began to expert
ment In the town of Witten. in West
phalia. Their funds gave out In 1882,
however, before they had obtained
any remarkable results from their ex-
periments, but both were so sanguine
Of making a beneficial discovery if
they had funds to continue their work
that the Prussian government was in
duced to give $1,000 for the continu-
ance of the experiments. Prof. Abbey
and DR. Scott then erected labora-
tory III Germany, at the works of Carl
Zeiss, manufacturer of instruments
used by scientists. They tried nearly
all elements, and it was only about
six months ago that their long labor
was crowned with success which will
make them famous in the history Of
science. The ordinary glass contains
six substances. The new glass made
by Prof. Abbey and Dr. Scott con
tains fourteen. The most essential
elements of which it is composed are
phosphorus and boron, neither of
which is used in common glass. With
the old glass the full power Of the
microscope was the decernment of
the 50lith part of an inch and with the
new glass it is claimed that the 204,-
7G0,000th part of an inch can be dis
tinguished. This certainly seems in
credible, but positive assurance of its
truth is given by parties who have
tested Prof. Abbey's and DR.. SCOTS
new instrument.
When the discovery was first made
Carl Zeiss, the manufacturer, in whose
place the experimentalists had worked.
was in favor of getting out a patent
50 that the discovery might prove q
most profitable one, but the fact of
the experiments having been conduct
ed with funds supplied by the Pruss
ian government prevented the dis
coverers from making it private en-
terprise, and compels them to make
it public benefit. The difference
between the new and the old glass
consists in the refractiOn of light.
