To Revoiutionize Microscopy.

Professor Elmer Gates of Washington says he has worked out a process by which objects can be magnitied 10 size 300 times greater than by any of tho microscopes now in use. His invention, he claims. will revolntionize microscopy and will advance science 10 poin5 hitherto undreamed of His discovery. he says, will be of special value in hac- teriology and the study of the cellular tissues. The professor declares that he has succeeded where all other scientists have failed-in discovering a way by which the nagniticd image projected on lens can be magnified by q second as if it were the original object. To do this has heen the aim of scientific pho tographers and microscopists for many years Professor Gates does not divulge the details of his invention. n.-lndlan apolis Journal

When can is bulged. the contents should not be used, as the condition of the tin shows that air has reached the inside and decomposition has set in. which has caused gases to be generated. The gases thus formed have forced the tin to bulge. Gases of poisoning through eating canned fruit and meats are so common that the above method of de- tecting poisonous canned foods should be specially valuable to honsekeepers. -- Public Health Journal.

Clergym@n Long Lived.

The figures collated by the life insur- ance companies in the United States and England show that as a rule clergy entists agree that among the clements which contribute to long life are sobrie- ty, regular hours, outdoor exercise, some mental occupation, and above all serenity-the quality which qualities one for honorary membership of a Don [ Worry club. Clergymen, perhaps, come nearer to complying with these condi tinns than do people in other walks of life. What Is known as Neuville's tatle of professional men guye the following averages of tbe length of life in 1000 cases taken of illustration: Physicians, 52 years; lawyers. 54; merchants, Js; teachers, 59; clergymen, 66. The aver age life uf sailors in those countries in which accurate records are kept is 46 years, of mechanics, IS and of farmers 65, though the average for farmers is unduly high perhaps.
 Long life among clergymen is rather the rule than the exception. Cardinal Mertel the is Bohemian and occupies
 
 the Sacred collegeD is 92, the pope is S1. The Very Rev. Henry Liddell of OK ford, who died on Jan. l9, was S7. Bishop Winner is sl, and Bishop Will Hams of Connecticut is 50. A Irrnch statistioian some years ago made the discovery, corroboration of which has been afforded in the United States of late years, that persons drawing pen sions live longer than those who don't. What is known among insurance men as kasper's tahle gives the percentage If persons of various professions in Eng land who reach the age of ID years as follows; Physicians, 2I; teachers, s,; artists. 2S; lawyers, 29; clerks, 32; soldiers, 32; merchants, 33; farmers, 10; clercymen, I2. 2.-New York Sun.

 Technically stated the centrifugal clement upon which the degree of the refinement of regulation of all governors depends is combined with an inertia ele ment relatively so great that instant and extreme changes of load are imme diately provided for without waiting for the otherwise necessary manifesto tion of centrifugal force.

The suspension pin or pivota. point is made of hardened crucible steel.

Varying Loads and Changing Treasures.
 Recent developments i'll connection with electric lighting in office buildings insist on such exacting service as to al- low only tine minutest variation of speed under widely varying loads and changing pressures. Not only must the speed be uniform, but 1t must remain 50 during the period of tke change. To meet these new and rigid requirements a governor has been devised which i'll every way fulfills the demands referred to, with the additional beauty ot ex- trclue simplicity. This governor, which is an adaptation of the Rites governor system. not only regulates to tho very highest degree of perfection but with
