Washington, Sept. 20.-Prof. Elmer
Gates of Washington says he has
worked out a process by which objects
can be magnified to a size of 800 times
greater than by any of the micro
scopes now in use. His invention, he
claims, will revolutionize microscopy,
and will advance science TO n point
hitherto undreamed of. His discovery,
he says, will be Of special value in
bacteriology and the study of the Gel

that he has succeeded where all other
scientists have failed-in discovering

projected on a tense can be magnified

Before the tin-plate industry was
established in the United States by the
Mckinley tariff, there were quite a
number OF Americans in Liverpool who
acted as agents for American import
ers Of Welsh tin plate, Liverpool being
the chief port Of export. Since we
have been making Jul own tin plate.
all of these agents have returned home
with the exception of one Who is ex-
pected back this month to take charge
Of a tin-plate fac'ory In Pennsylvania.
This will practically conclude the
American trade in foreign tin plate and
practically complete the acquisition of
the American market by the Ameri-

tablished under the Mckinley protect
i've tariff OF 1890.
