might be increased materially without Sc
rious effect.
Objects of much greater size may be
magnifed phOtographicaIly by ''projectiVe'
than by microscope photography. A pro
jective photograph" magnifying 800 times
has been taken of the Toes OF a mouse
in which every detail, even to the strue-
ture of each hair, is clearly shown. The
field of the lens with which the mouse's
toes We're taken is almost a square inch,
at the close range required, and The toes
might have been enlarged 900 times as
readily as 800. But a microscopic lens
magnifying only % diameters covers field
only one-fifth of a square inch in extent
while lens that win magnify 1000 times
covers only about 1-200th of square inch

The accompanying diagrams will make

object photogra phed by a low power lens
to the plate. Figure shows The path OF
the rays when a lens of high power is
used. The size of the object and of the
image is assumed to be the same in both
cases. The image produced by the low
power glass win show less detailed def
ntion but much greater penetration or
depth of focus, while the image thrown
by the lens of high power will present
more details, more definition, but less
depth of focus. The magnifying lens gets
the details at the expense of depth or
perspective, while the other lens. fitted in

be studied microscopically, if a proper per-
cepton of their true appearance is desr-
ed. BY procuring a camera of extra depth
and slightly stronger lens than is common

To explain a little further: Suppose
round body, a pearl, for instance Is to be
photographed. Figure 3 shows how the
light rays would pass from the object to
the plate through a low power lens. only
small portion of the pearl would be
shown in the figure-about 46 degrees-but
it would appear as a curved surface
though with comparatively few details.
Figure shows the path of the light rays
through a high power lens In the figure
about 100 degrees are taken in, but only
very small part of the pearl would be
photographed though every minutest
speck and flaw would be clearly apparent
and the picture would apparently be of a
perfectly fiat surface. If this lens were
focused on the "axical point of the
pearls surface a small circle would show
sharply; IL focused on a point further
away, ring would be defined, since all the
nearer and farther parts OF the peall
would be either before or behind the TO-
cal plane, and hence so blurred as pot
to be recognizable. Any one looking at
a picture of a pearl taken by magnfica-
ton would suppose he was looking at the
picture of a ring, and the true appearance
of the object would be entirely lost.
The microscopical photograph is OF use
only in studying surfaces, the pores of

has no thickness, This Will be plain

VIII he of Great Value in the
study of Animal Tissues-Some En-
nmpIes.
New York, Jan. 1.-THE microscope has
become almost indispensable in many
branches of modern science and micro
scopic photogra ply is of great value in
making scientific records. Yet the mis-
takes made by microscopists and the false
impressions produced by microscopic
photographs have been very numerous.
There are two main reasons for this.
The first is that the lines and markings
shown by the microscope are often eX-
tremey indstinct and uncertain. On
more than one occasion the lack of exact
definition under the glass has led the OBJ
server to exercise his ina gination with
results that were little short of absurd,
The second reason is furnished by the
'hatness' of the microscopic image. This
defect is augmented in something akin
to geometric ratio as the magnication is
increased. When lens of very high pow
er is used the object appears to have
neither depth nor thickness, only fiat
eXpanse, no matter what its true shape.
The shortcomings OF the high power lens
are bad enough in the microscope proper.
In microscopic photographs they are
worse especially when it is sought to re-
produce such photographs they are worse,

Anyone who follows the daily or week. ly papers, and notes the death list is im- pres sed often with the uncertainty of life. But occasionally this fact is
 brought to one's attention with peculiar emphasis. Last week Monday the ed- itor took the 1O34 8. m. train north on
 the Berkshire division, and chanced to make the acquaintance of Hon Dana
 Bartholomew of Ansonia, prominent business man of the Naugatuck Valley, who was on his way to Saratoga, with
 his wife and other friends, for brief so. journ. He appeared to be in excellent spirits and health, and showed himself
 to be an entertaining conversationalist.
 The time passed only too quickly when the writer was obliged to bid him good by. On Monday of this week, while re- turning from Massachusetts, the editor was astonished to read of the death of his friend at Saratoga on Sunday. Mir Bar tholomew was the son of the late Jere- miah Fl. Bartholomew and Polly Fl. Bar
 tholomew and was born in the town of
 Wolcott, now Thomaston,- April, 1s47.
 His parents Iremoved to Ansonia when
 he was nine months old and he had been
 resident of the place sirce. He was a practical man ard had been connected
 with A. B. Hendryx in the manufacture
 of bird cages, fish po!es and other novel;
 ties. He afterwards engaged in the feed business and later was at the head of the Ansonia Bit Company. At the time of his death he was president of the Ango- mia Water Company, the Ansonia Novel; ty Company, the Ansonia Telephone
 Company and a director in tho Ansonia Ice Company. He leaves wife and four
 children, three by torper wife. MT Bartholomew was 8 member of the Con. gregational church and Sunday school teacher of much popularity. He had been in failing health for many years. He held many minor ffices in the town and represented Derby in the Legislature of 1880.
