NOW THE ULTRA MICROSCOPE.

World of Tiny Organisms Revealed by
New System of Lighting.
The ultra-microscope is recent de-
vice of science. By its aid it is ex-
pected micro-organisms which have
hitherto defied observation may now
be detected. AS the classification OF
microbes has progressed biologists
have been arriving at the conclusion
that many must still remain unknown
through being too small to be per-
ceived with any instrument hitherto in
use.
The new apparatus is the invention
of two Frenchmen, Messrs. Cotton and
Monitor. 1t involves no change in the
existing arrangement of lenses. 1t IL
the system of lighting that is revolu-
tionized. The ray is used at right an
giles to the axis of the instrument, In
stead of coinciding with it. Thus tho
light sweeps across the objective
parallel with it's plane.
BY this means it is said many partl-
cles so small that they have defied de-
lection under the most powerful glass
es become visible as brilliant points.
It is a new world, enthusiastic micro
scopists say, that is opened to scien'
tific study.

A Caution About Stalk Fields

Although the season is young as yet
tor such complaints, we have received
several of them relative to the loss OF
cows pastured on corn stalk fields
Two different parties this week report
that their COWS have come up from
the corn stalk fields staggering and
falling upon their knees and that some
of them appear to be crazy and soon
die, despite bleeding and other ordi-
nary methods of treatment. They
want advice as to how to prevent
the disease, and also as to suitable
treatment, and we are free to say tC
all farmers that it would be much
the safer plan to keep all pregnant
animals out of the corn stalk fields,
to test each field by turning in a
scrub "critter' or two before turning
in the good animals, and always to
supply the corn stalk pasturing ami
mails plenty of their fooC, an abund
ance of salt, and see that they have
free access to pure drinking water
The disease is supposed to be due to
leaves of the stalks of witnered corn
Some fields are free from the pest;
others are infested, and most corn
stalk fields contain such dry, coarse
matter and many dangerous plants n
some instances, so that apart from the
specific cause of real corn stalk dis.
ease" there is great danger that ami
mails not allowed sufficient water and
succulent food may become affected
with impaction of the bowels or indi.
gestion, which may cause death after
less alarming symptoms than those in
dicatise of corn stalk disease. 1t is
best to prevent the trouble by avoid.
ing tainted fields and by preventive
measures such as we have outlined
but should an animal become affected
a large dose of castor oil should be
given at once in milk. A pound to a
pound and half is the dose for a COW
or steer and should De followed every
three or four hours with coDious warm
drinks of flaxseed tea containing slim
ulants and half dram doses of fluid
extract of nuy vomica.

Eskimo Dog Team.
All Washington is waiting to well
come Eli Smith, the mail carrier from
Nome, Alaska, who is covering the
entire distance from Alaska to Wash
ington in his combination sled and
wagon drawn by seven Eskimo dogs.
He bears important letters to the Pre-
sident and the Postmaster General.
Officials at the Department and
White House employees have been
anxiously awaiting the appearance of
the unique outfit, many making
wagers as to whether the streets of
Washington will be covered with
snow at the time Smith arrives, thus
permitting the sled part of his con-
trivance to be used, or whether he
will roll down Pennsylvania Avenue
on the wheels of the wagon. Smith
has been thirteen months ON the road
he has made his own way the entire
distance and it is expected that he
will reach the Capitol City on Wash
ington's birthday. HIS trip is the
outcome of bet between the miners
and mail carriers at Nome.
White House Surprise Party.
A surprise party took place at the
White House one day this week, the
surprise being on the First Lady OF
the Land, who received from four
sturdy American tans, of the battle
ship Louisiana, a large silver loving
cup. Arriving at the White House,
the sailormen requested to see the
President, who received them most
graciously and quickly complied with
their request to be permitted to pay
their respects to Mrs. Roosevelt. Upon
her appearance the party entered one
of the state parlors and after the in.
Productions had been made, the big
bundle, carried under the arms of one
of the sailors, was opened and the
beautiful cup was handed to Mrs.
Roosevelt.
The gift was intended as an ex.
preston of the appreciation felt by
the crew of the Louisiana for the
kindness with which its members
had been treated by Mrs. Roosevelt on
the voyage she made on that vessel tC
Panama and back when the President
went to inspect the canal last Novem
ber 1t was said at the White House
that both the President and Mrs
Roosevelt were very much touched in
receiving the remembrance.
