possible to make out case for HIM
self. There will now be a contest.

Mr.. Brashear says that when the lens

his cleaned hands, although cheeseoloth

no danger of scratching it when plenty
of water is used. When thoroughly
washed, take the glass out, lay it on q

pieces of the same, which have been
previously washed clean and dried, and
dry it. Don't let it drain dry. Take up
all the moisture with the cloth. Vigor-

An objective can be cleaned without
taking it out of its cell. First dust off

throw it away and take another, then
