A HISTORIC MICROSCOPE.
Through Its Lenses the Eye Had Its First
Sight of Trichinse In Pork.

Through Its Lenses the Eye lad It's First
Sight of Trichinse In Pork.

Government II is nothing but a micro
scope, but 1t is the microscope by the aid Of
which trichin9 in ham was discovered.
1t was away back in 1885 that trichina
was discovered by Pagot in the muscles of
the human body, and the parasites were
afterward described by Owen How they
came into the human system no one knew.
That they got there and that their presence
worked great harm was proven cOnclusively,
but the source, the first starting point of
the paraste-this was what scientific men,
puzzle and hunt as they would, were unable
to discover. 1t remained for an American
and Philadelphian to make this discov-
cry, of which the general public has proba-
bly, never realized the full value, but to
which the world OF science has always
given due credit.
In 1874 Joseph Leidy was graduated as
doctor of medicine. Ii there has been one
thing above another for which this cole
brated scientist has always been noted it is
his acute powers of observation. Nothing
escapes his eye; nothing is too small to
riVet his attention. In 1916, just two years
after he graduated, and when only % years
old, he made this great discovery, which
had escaped so many celebrated physi-
clans for so many years. 1t was one day
when he was at luncheon that he fairly
stumbled on the discovery, which would
have yet escaped him had it not been for
his powers of observation. He leaned over
large, demonstrating ham to cut off a slice
as the meat portion of ham sandwich.
Something on the surface of the meat
attracted his attention. He looked
closer and saw a number of tiny white
specks no larger than pin points. What
they we're he did not know, but he con-
cluded he did not want any ham, or in fact
anything to eat just at that moment He
put the ham away where no one else could
get at it. and carried the slice ne had cut off
up TO his rooms. He placed these white
dots under microscope. and when they were
properly focused they stood out plainly as
the trichinfe that had been found In the
human body just eleven years before. 1t
was discovery that might we'll cause any
man to feel elated. This microscope, a
handsome instrument about eighteen
inches high, after doing the work of its eel
ebrated owner for many years, is now the
property of his nephew and namesake, DIR.

IDA LEWIS Ar HOME.

How the Famous Heroine Lives in the
Lime Rock Light-House.
Running from the mainland Of the city of
Newport, r. l., into the west side of its har-
Dor, is long, staunchly built wharf, say
Ellen lie Garde, in the Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Were you to find your way to its end,
you would ere long see from the lighthouse
beyond woman appear and glance in your
direction. Presently, with agile step. she
runs down the narrow ladder fastened to
the stone wall, jumps nimbly into boat, IN
ties it from its mooring, takes the heavy
oars. and. with beauty of stroke all her
own, pulls with long and strong pull that
sends her flying toward the steps Of the pier
on which you wait. Her back is as erect as
that of young girl, her powerful strength
manifest in the great strides the row-boat
makes, and yet, when she deity turns it
around and you get good look at her face,
it can be seen that it belongs to woman in
middle life, but upon whom time has left
few tell-tale marks. She puts out a well
coming hand with a beautiful white wrist,
adding CHEEKY smile and a word OF greet
ing as she makes ready to take you over to
Lime Rock as her guest. You have cause

house there are cares that fill the day, and,
like any other "gude wife," Miss Lewis has
her pots, kettles and pans to attend to,
rooms to sweep, beds to make, papers and
magazines to read, letters TO write and all
the various etceteras to manage which fill
the time of busy woman. A devoted
church woman, she spends Sunday on shore
whenever her brother is at home.
As the only woman lighthouse keeper in
our country and the last one that will be
given a light--for such is the verdict of the
powers that be - Miss Lewis has other
duties that are unique. Exactly at shutdown
she must light her lamp aud precisely at
midnight another must be substituted. All

THE EUROPEAN LABOR QUESTION.

Jules Simon, one of the French Dele
gates to the Labor Congress called by the
Emperor Of Germany, has given long
statement TO the press concerning that
Congress. He has no faith in it at all: he
is ill-disposed to attend it, and will 90 sim
ply to oblige his Government. He de-
clares that the young Emperor of Ger
many has made false step, vainly i'm
aglnlng that congress of men, not them
selves workers, can arrive at any settle.
ment OF the European labor difficulties by
discussion lasting few days. NJ. Simon
well expresses the general want of conf
denee IN the congress when he says:
After all, what can this labor conference
nope TO accomplish? Absolutely nothing un-
less 1t is to pave the way for subsequent con
ference OF diplomatic character. When that
second conference is called as l think il will be
some months later, what can it accomplish ?

Emperor concerning concessions to the So

RECORD UNION, which it expressed some
days before the recent German election,

measure, of the Government, because of

took the position that as he granted favors

been deprived of rights, and that they
would at once begin to ask, "Why does
this one man, or why do these Princes and
mobiles assume the power to grant to us
what is ours irrespective of them ?" NJ.
Simon says of the Emperor's shortsighted-
ness
He fancieS in his inexperience that by show
ing himself conciliatory and philanthropic he
Will win the Socialists from their discomfort
