Inventor OF tho Machine for Picking
Cotton.
Any man who may have the brain,
che tact, or whatever you may call IL,
TO invent machine that will save $780,

OF that much-abused word
such man Is Angus Cambell, whose

who now ranks with the great invent
ors OF the world. His inventive skill
has created the only machine that has
successfully picked cotton from the

Ipcreaslnr the Power of the microscopes.

Increasing the Power of the Microscopes.
With view of increasing the magni-
flying power of the microscope an
English scientist proposes to replace
the eye-piece with second instrument
of low defining power. BY this change
the work of the microscope is not inn
paired and the arrangement is said to
he much better than the use of lens
of greater length. The performance
of the new combination on test objects
has been found satisfactory.
