The most powerful microscopes
render visible point about ono one
hundred thousandth part of an inch
In diameter. There is reason for be-
lieving that a single molecule is much
smaller even than that. One reason
for this has been dcduced from the
soap bubble. Scientists, says Flee
tricity, have measured the thickness
of the envelope of soapy water enclos-
ing the air of the bubble when it had
become SO thin as to produce rainbow
tints. Al the appearance of the shade
of violet it was one-fourth the thick
ness of tho length Of an ordinary
violet wave of light-one-sixty thou
sandths of an inch--thus making the
thickness equal to one-two hundred
and forty thousandths of an inch. AS
tho bubble continued to expand q
black patch formed adjacent TO the
pipe from which tho bubble was being
blown, md the thickness of such patch
has been found to be only ono -fortietl
of the thickness of the violet section,
or about one-ffty millionth of al
inch.

Pasteur, the French scientist, has an
eye Of wonderful power. A visitor to
his "menagerie, in Paris, where he has
gathered various kinds Of animals fol-
experimental use, saw the chemist quell
with glance fierce Spanish mastifl
which for his ferocity had been muzzled
and chained. Pasteur had the brute
brought before him, and looking the an-
imal straight in the eye fearlessly took
off his muzzlc and removed his chain,
The dog covered at the glance, then
fawned upon Pasteur, licked his hand
and finally lay submissively before HIM.

from five degrees to forty degrees OF

days to a month or two. One spot was
known to have lasted for over fifteen
months, but that was an exception.

Samuel Kimberly, United States
Consul General at Guatemaln, says
the labor question in Guatemala is in
q serious condition. The natives do
not care to work, except for their
present needs. They are honest in
one sense, and not in another; they
will not steal, but if they make a bar
gain with n man to work q week, and
they can make enough in three days
to cover their needs, they will drop
the Job. This is one reason why
wages are so low. They do not care
to work a moment longer than is nee
essary to supply their daily wants.
