Chalk Wonderr.

Few people know what a wonderful
object a bit Of chalk is when exam.
lned under a microscope. Take your
knife blade and scrape off a little OF
the loose powder. catch 1t on n clean
glass slide and place this on the stage
Of q good table microscope. Use Il
quarter inch objective lens and illuml'
nate the field with n cone Of light from
the oncave side of the reflector. The
powder will be seen to consist OF a
confused mass of beautiful tiny shells,
many Of them Of the most curious
form.
A better way. however. Is to rub
down n portion Of chalk with an old
toothbrush In a tumbler half filled with
water. If you desire to prepare sew
eral slides, rub on about a teaspoonful
of the powder. Shake the tumbler
brlskly. allow the sediment to settle for
a moment and then carefully pour of
the milky looking water.
Repeat this until the water remains
clear, and you will then have left III
the bottom only perfect shells or large
parts of shells. Take up a small pinch
Of this deposit and spread 1t carefully
Over the center of n glass slide. Dry
over n lamp and, If you wish TO pre-
serve the slide for future use, mount 1t
in Canada balsam, pressing ont the
bubbles of as beneath the cover glass,

to have worked only In combining the
most terrific extremes which her pow.
