Of Munich has under construction an
enormous microscope for exhibition at
Chicago in 1893. 1t win magnify 10

TO II, 900 diameters. An electric light
of 1000 C. p. is 10 be used for illuminat-
ing the image, which is 10 be projected
ON a screen. As the heat from this
powerful light would derangc the focus
by expansion of the metal, an ingenious
device is used to cool the metal. This a
small copper cylinder with liquid car
bonic acid under a pressure Of $50 lbs
20 the square inch. 1t is connected
with the microscope in such n manner
that an electric regulator automatically
opens a valve and allows a drop Of the
acid to escape in spray upon the metal
to be cooled; the liquid Immediately
evaporates and produces intense cold

pense, a representative Rhode Island working

dition Of workingmen there. II will pay all
his expenses and furnish him with guide books
and all necessary information and assistance
In laying out his route. The man Is 10 be Sc.
lected by ballot by the readers Of the NEWS.
and of course he must be intelligent and able
in an occasional letter to express in a compre-
hensive manner the result of his trip.
BY this course the NEWS hopes 10 learn from,
an intelligent workingman the condition OF
labor in Free Trade country as compared
with it, condition In this land Of Protection 90

an all-important one and It's importance will
increase as the great campaign of p2 approach.
