An Ohject-Gisss That Magazines Sereu

now dead. was the greatest maker oil
microscope lenses the world has ever
seen. He once made an oblect-glass
that magnifed z 800 times. IL was
the first and only n ever constructed,
and was made as the result OF a long
controversy with other m~icroscopists
In regard TO the possibility OF resolv-
ing what was known rs Noberts nine
teenth band. Nobert was a n
man who by chemical appliances ruled
on glass parallel lines at the rate OF
about 100. 600 to the inch. No micro
scope tense then made was sufficiently
powerful 10 count these lines. Mr..
Tollcs, as a result OF statements made
during the controversy, started 10
make an objective that should magnify
1900 times. This he succeeded In
doing somewhere about 1874. This
objective was one-seventy-ffth Of an
inch I'm diameter, and was about az
large as the hole made in a sheet of
paper by the point of a very hno
needle. This lcnse was afterward
sold for 5000 60 Mai. Woodward. in
the government employ at Washington.
but his bill was not allowed by the
auditor; and the tense was taken off
his hands by one DIR. Hartman. In
turn he sold il 10 DIR. Ephraim Cutter,
In whose possession 1t now is. OBJ
j~ectiyes hat magnify 5000 times arc
rare, and 1t is a powerful micro
scope that magnides even 1900
times. These are necessary in bacteri-
illogical research. and in testing blood
c~orpuscles 10 determine. for instance.
whether they are human blood or not.
A local paper recently told OF "A Bos-
ton physician who examined the tu-
bercle bacillus with "a powerful
glass that magniicd 300 times.
Ridiculous. You can't see the con-
sumption bacillus with IN objective
that magnifes less than /, POO times.
England is the great rival OF this
country in microscope making. France
and Germany are behind. | suppose
that some time an objective will be
made that will magnify 10, 900 times,
but IL viii be "a much more difficult
task than the making OF n telescope
glass five feet in diameter.

AND STILL ANOTHER.
The "Fire FIend'' Seems to have 1t In for
lola


At 1890 o'clock last Thursday
evening RObinsOn's Veterinary Barn
was discovered to be on fire. The
alarm was promptly responded to by
every able bodied man and boy in
town, all of whom, with the know
ledge gained by experience in our
other fires, worked quickly, intelli-
gently and effectually. No attempt
was made to save the barn, which
burned like finder, nor Woods car
penter shop, which stood next to it,
nor Givler's blacksmith shop, which
was next to that. But other build
ings adjacent were kept deluged with
water and salt, and were saved. For
time there was imminent danger
that the whole post-Office block would
go; and it certainly could not have
been saved If the wind had been from
the South. But fortunately what
slight breeze there was came from the
north east, SO the block was saved.
although several of the wooden ware
rooms i'm the rear were on fire repeat
edIy. The loss on the barn, about
$500, will fall mainly on w. l.. Bar
tells who held mortgage on it to Sc
cure the payment of debt Wood S
carpenter shop was insured for $50
which will cover about One-half the
loss. Mr.. Givler places his loss at $50
Concerning the origin of the fire,
there are many ugly rumors. The
best that can be said is that it was
the result of gross carelessness on the
part of the young men who had charge
of the barn.
While there is regret that Mr.. Bar
tells and Mr.. Wood and Mr.. Givler
should have suffered loss, there is yet
very general feeling of relief that
the barn hae been destroyed. 1t was
never conducted i'm such way as to
be of credit to the town, and it has
long been feared that it might be the
cause of the destruction of the entire
block i'm which it was located. 1t is a
matter for generalization that 1T has
been removed with so little loss.
But we must have some way to
fiUht fire

amounts to prisoners of war; to pro-
vide means for their payment and to
repeal section of the pension act of
June IL, 1889; to reduce the number Of
pension ratings to ten; to abolish PEN
sion agencies and to lessen the ex-
penses of examining boards. He also
offered a resOlutiSp which was refer
red to the finance committee, direct
ing that committee to inquire and re-
port as soon as practicable as to the
annual expenses attending the bust
ness of money lending, as conducted
i'm the United States, by bankers and
other persons (both as to short loans
and long loans). the object being, as
he declared in the resolution, to as
certain approximately the actual and
relative cost of conducting the bust
ness of lending money without refer
ence to the value of the amount loan
ed.
Plumb introduced a bill to provide
for the retirement of national bank
notes and the free coinage of silver.
This is the same bill introduced in
the Senate by Plumb, last year, with
few amendments-increasing from
20 to 80 per cent the gold and silver
reserve fund for the redemption of
United States notes; forbidding free
coinage in the United States of for
eign coin, and authorizing the secre-
tary of the treasury, in his discretion,
to call for the payment of customs
duties in gold or silver, in whole or in
part. He also offered resolution de-
claring that congress desired the re-
mOval of the remains of the illustriOus
soldier, Gen. Grant, to, and therein
inferred in the National Arlington
cemetery, and that the President be
requested to convey to she widow of
that lamented man, such desire, ten
dering to her on the part of the nation,
all necessary facilities for such remOv-
al and interrment."

Dear Sir:-Having returned from a
gospel trip through the country and
being informed of notice in your
paper of Nov, IL, '91 that a detach-
ment of the Salvation Army, two
strong preached and sung on your
street Tuesday, and knowing the
statement to be not altogether cor
rect, and knowing also that you claim
to treat all fairly and TO misrepresent
none, therefore | beg leave in your
columns for space to explain as to the
preaching and singing. Brother
HOuser, of Russell Co, and myself
did preach and sing on your street,
but not as representatives of the Sal
walton Army, but simply to represent
the Christ OF the Bible and the Truth
He taught while here on earth or by
His spirit through His holy apostles
and prophets. AS to the Salvation
Army, while it is true, no doubt, that
many of Gods dear children are en-
tangled in that system, as indeed they
are in all other systems which claim
any partnership with Christ, yet il is
also true that we find no sanction i'm
Gods Word to divide Gods children
in factions like the political parties of
the world. In order that you may
fully understand our position / will
close by giving quotation by John
Bunyan in his complete works by
CULVER, page S78, which is true, not
because Bunyan said it, but because
it agrees with Gods Word i'm lst Cor.
3, to s. Hear him: "And since you
would know by what name 1 would
be distinguished from others, l tell
you: / would be, and hope L am, a
Christian, and choose, if God should
count me worthy, to be called a Chris
tian, asbeliever, or other such name
which is approved by the Holy Ghost.
And as for those fictitious titles. Ana
baptists, Independents, Presbyterians
or the like, ! conclude that they
come neither..frOm Jerusalem nor An
tiOch, but rather from He'll and from
Babylon, for they naturally tend to
divisions. You may know them by
their fruits" Yours for the cause of
Truth, TITUS SIMONS.

CAPT. STEWARDS GENEROUS OFFER.

COTTAGE GROVE, hs., Dec. ii.
Ed. REGISTER: Dear Sir: During
the recent political campaign while at
tending a meeting at Allen Center /
was requested to lecture there some
time this winter and tell the folks
what know about silOs and ensilage.
/ promised to do so and am now
ready to fulfill my promise if the
friends there will let me know when it
would suit them to meet me.
AS | have been feeding my ensilage
since the middle of October and find
my highest expectations as fully re-
allied this year as they were last year
/ feel the more ready to commend this
mode of putting up feed for nearly all
kinds of stock and especially for cattle.
fla meeting shall be called as sug-
gested it can he done through the
REGISTER which will be sufficient no
tice to me, and / may say L will have
a sample of ensilage with me.
Knowing that great many farm
ers over in Usage are looking up the
ensilage question am almost persuad-
, ed to say that when 90 to Allen Cen
ter | would 90 over to Usage if SO re-
quested, yet it would please me better
to have those who feel an interest in
I this question to come and see my silO
come and stay over night, and see
me feed the ensilage.
{ would like to say (as pleasantly as
l know how to my Alliance friends
i'm this county would not it be good
idea to spend some of these long win
ter evenings talking up on farming in
terests and planning our next years
farm operations. This has been a
hard year on most of us. Let us get
our farm work well managed before
the great political struggle of 1872 comes
| to distract us from our legitimate
work. Respt, :. J. STEWART.
