Field of microscopy Extended.

Two German scientists, Drs. Zeignondy
and Siedentopf Of Jena university, have
recently brought into use a new method
Of microscopic research, through which
objects a thousand times smaller than
any hitherto visible by the most powerful
microscope may be observed. This meth
cd is based on the w~ell-known fact that
particles of dust which f1oat in a sun
beam are visible only when the observer
stands at a right angle TO the sunbeam.
These particles are so small as not to be
visible through our strongest microscopes,
although they appear TO be visible TO the
naked eye. What we see is not the parti-
Gle itself, but a cone of light reflected
from it, and the new method of the ul-
tramicroscope or hyper-microscope, is
simply an ordinary microscope placed at
right angles to a ray Of light. in which
particIeo measuring not more than a ive-
mtiiiionth Of an inch become visible. Thus
disease bacilli hitherto invisible may be
studied at will.

savAn HEARS or HIS BOOM.
N~ebrnsknn Says, "It's Too sudden,''
When He Hcnrs of Endorsements.

When He hears of lndorsegMents.
In several States the Democrats n
convention assembled have said the
word of Endorsement for William j.
Bryan, but the most significant voice Is
that of the Democrats in Congress, a
Washington correspondent says. Tn:
members of the minority party, under
the moving impulse OF the news from
Arkansas, Indiana and elsewhere, have
been unable to control themselves, and
with foot on the loud pedal have struck
the keynote of rejoicing. The Demo-
cratic leaders are declared TO be for
Bryan-John Sharp Williams, Champ
Clark, David A. De Almond and h
rest-and at Il time distances of two
years they are hailing him as leader
one again. In the Senate the stald
ones are showing symptoms of nwak-
Ing enthusiasm.
"rhis is too sudden iohlngly said
Mr.. Bryan, who Is now on IA round-tEe-
world tour, when lie was told in Berlin
Of the adoption by recent Democrats
conventions of resolutions favoring his
nomination for the presidency Of tho
United States in 1908. "Ihis is tho
trst announcement Of this news to me-"
| Mr.. Bryan continued. 81 have been of
the main caravan route for some time
! aud have been absorbed in what have
been seeing and doing"
As to the possibility of his nominal
ton he had little to say, declaring it
was too early to speak of that question.
but taking up the subject Of the pollti-
cal requirements of the day he said
an our fight for the absolute ellmina-
ton of private monopolies and for the
regulation of corporations in general
It is necessary that the party shall he
free from any suspicion of alliance with
the corporate interests that have been
dominating American politics. To this
end campaign contributions must he
limited to those who have the public
Interest to advance. | trust that public
sentiment will require all parties to
keep their books open, SO that here
after no party Will be under private
obligations to shield corporate Offend
ers."
Abiding to conditions In tho meat lii
1ustry, Mr.. Bryan said. .gThe beet
trust is not different In character and
methods from other trusts. The ines-
table tendency of a private monopoly
Is to increase the price Of a product anT
to lower It's quality. Why should any
Dne expect anything else from a trust
than the lowering OF quality when a
monopoly Is established? Observe, I
have used the words private monopoly
not public In a private monopoly 4
private interest Is set up against those
Of the whole people. Quite a different
principle comes into operation when tba
interest of all Is alone In view.

COST NOT ON
Committed Decides Government VIII
Foot Inspection Bill.

Rigid meat inspection at an annual cost
to the government of $2,OOo,0OO is pro-
vided for in a substitute for tIe Beveridge
amendment to the agricultural bill agreed
to by the House committee on agriculture.
Government labels guaranteeing that the
products are healthful, clean and in ev-
cry respect fit for food are required for
interstate, and, in addition to
this label. a certificate for foreign com
merce. The substitute passed the com
mittee by the close vote Of 8 to 7 and a
minority report favoring the amended
Beverage provision will be submitted.
The most stubborn contest in committee
was over the question Of payment Of the
cost of inspection. Henry (Conn.), Hau-
gen Iowa) and Davis (Minn.), Repub-
leans, and Lamb (Va.), Bowie (Ala.(
and Gambler (Miss.), Democrats, voted
to impose the cost upon the packers. Gro
mer (IRd.) did not vote, and the other
members, including Chairman Wadsworth
and William Lorimer, voted to put the
cost on the government.

of violating the Elkins law by granting a

as it is to receive them.

1t will BE- possible thus for Judge Nc
Pherson to impose a total fine Of $4,000

SCHOOL TEACHERS IN LOVE.

way to avert this is to keep the door wide open between

To cool room in extremely hot weather is
to dip towels In cold water. wiring them well

Small electric fans are being used to cool
houses. These propel the air through the
room at a high rate of speed and in this
way produce a cooling effect through the
greater evaporating from the entire surface
of the body.
The air OF an entire house may be cooled
by passing 1t through chamber filled with
ice, the air being propelled through the
different parts of the house by means of
large fan or blower. But. of course, this
is most expensive. as it requires large guam
titles of ice or the employment of an ice
machine of one more tons daily capacity.

Passing the incoming air through large

falling, also will serve to cool the air.
