STEVEN SON HAS HIS DAY
NOW.

II is freely talked Oy lealing Demo-
Gratis OF Washington that II deter
mined effort will bo made 10 unto the
Democratic Senators IN opposition to
the confirmation Of rx-Iteprescntatire
McC3mas us Il Justice OF the Supreme
Court Of the District IL is recalled
tha: after the Presidential election
four years ago Mr.. Ciev-l.nd nomi-
mated Mr. Stevenson, OF illinois, for n
place on the same beach. 10 was re-
jectod by tbs Senate on a report
brought in by Mr. EGmund3 that Il
WINS Improper Ia confirm u man for Il
lite pace Oh tho nomination OF n
President who had just been defeated
for reelection. BY rejecting Mr..
Stevenson for tho District ~Judgeship
tho Senate paved the way for his eiec
tiun to the secnnd highest place in
tho gilt cf tho people. Had he been
confirmed, OF course no would never
have been thought Of for Vice Prcsi-
dent. So time makes all things even.
II is no doubt gratifying 10 Mr
Stevenson to know TINT On tie 4th Of
next March he will begin his duties
us presiding officer Of the body which,
only four short years ago, gave him n
bad quarter of m hour, as the French
put it. Perhaps even now he is
dreaming OF repeating Van Burcn's
experience. He was ryjcctcd rs Min
lister TO England by Il Wing Semitic,
and returned 10 this country only TO
be elected Vice. President ut tho sue.

AN ELECTRICAL MICROSCOPE.

~ -~-O -
4 Remarkable Optical Instrument for the
Worlds Fnir.
A microscope has been made In Ger
many for the worlds fair which, a Y n
writer in Electricity. setting aside its
great power and electric value, is re-
marketable for the number Of electrical
adaptations that have been employed to
increase its efficiency. Electricity not
only furni5hcs and regulates the light
which,, placed in the focus of n parabolic
aluminium reflector, reaches an intcnS-
10y OF II ,n20 candle power, but provides
an ingenious automatic mechanism for
ccntcring the quadruplc condcraers and
illuminating tho lenses. The distance
of the carbon poir. is controlled ~ tho
sainc means.
The most wonderful feature Of the
instrument is, however, the cooling ma
chine. The intense illuminating power
naturally produces extreme heat. and
this is modified b. n machine which
provides the microscopic and polaria-
copic syatcms of the apparatus with t.
fine cooling spray.
This spray is composed of cnrbolic
acid, which, when released from a cop
per vessel III which il is held under
very high pressure, is converted into
gaseous matter SO intcrs"'y cold that
only .o00T gram of the acid per second
Il required TO produce the result. With
ordinary objcctivcs the magnifving
power of the instrument is II, 900 diam.
