any other claimant for the distinction.

Caparras first building was raised in

The exact location Of the historical Ca.

ly by Dr. NJ. w. Harrington Of the San
I Juan weather office. While on stroll
into the country he happened to select
the road to Pueblo Nieio, and when talk

their traditions of the first Spanish town
in Porto Rico.

Another historical landmark close at
hand is the reputed gold mine worked by
the first Spanish settlers. Ponce de Leon
greatly enriched himself says tradition
and history, by the compulsory labor of
the Indians in the mines. Although at.
tackled by hordcs of mosquitoes and fever,
the Spanish adventurer remained at Ca
para until 1912 lie then set sail on
Easter Sunday, March p. 1912, on the
voyage which ended in the discovery of
the peninsula of Florida. some of his
party went with him, but the greater
number remained behind and only moved
from the settlement when compelled to
do 80 IN order to escape the mosquitoes
aud ferers. The final evacuation took
place in 1862.
DR. Harrington has called the ntten-
ton Of educators in this country TO the
ancient city in the hope of saving the
ruins from further destruction. such a
historical settlement, he thinks, ought to
be marked by monument Even thus

To a Washington professor, DIR. Elmer
Gates, belongs the credit Of having dis
covered form of microscope which is
not only as far in advance Of the most
powerful microscope hitherto known as it
IN turn is superior TO the human eve, but
which promises to lay bare the ultimate
secret of life. Some conception of the
value Of Doctor Gates "micrographo-
scope, as he calls it, may be gathered
from the statement that line invisible
to the human eye becomes wider than the
largest man-of-war.
In more precise terms, while the most
powerful microscope hitherto in use
mugnifies to ten thousand diametcrs,
Doctor Gates instrument multiplies this
result by thirty-six hundred, and magni-
iies an object to three million, six hun
bred thousand times its diameter. This,
however, only represents actual achieve
meut; and the professor confidently ex-
poets to reach a magnifcation to one
hundred million diameters.
The process by which this astounding
result has been achieved is too compli-
tNtt AtA a AutA htStIlllltlls ltpCtul
Gates earliest results were obtained by
first focusing one-sixih inch objective
on a diatem. This gave an image mag
nifed to six hundred diameters. lie then
removed from the eye-piece the front
lens, and, taking another microscope,
placed the front lens of the new oblec-
tive in tie real image Of the first micro
scope. BY this means an enlargement
10 seventy thousand diameters was OBJ
tained. BY using one-sixth inch OBJ
lcctivc on the second instrument the dia-
tom was magnified to no less than three
million, six hundred thousand diameters.
This, however, according to Doctor
Gates, represents the present limits of
visibility, owing to the extreme faintness
Of the light when diffused over such a
large area. For this reason experiments
