Adulterated Foodstuffs.

The chemist in charge of the labora.
tory Of the department of agriculture
at Chicago has been paying careful
attention to the purity of foods. Re.
Gently he made a statement that one
great spice company annually ground
up 800 tons of cocoarut shells and fla
vored the same with essential oils and
then sold the powdered stuff for pure
spices. He related about another con-
cern WHICH sold 100000 worth of
spices annually, only five per cent. of
which were pure, The common arti-
cles used for adulteration of spicea
are sawdust, brick dust, burnt grains.
cocoanut shells and other kinds Of
shells and barks. It is the aim of the
United States government to nut an
end to- this adulteration Of foods.
Since the government has become
active In tracing down such frauds a
number of interruptions grocery
houses have been, compelled to 70 out

Knock the knocker,

No enterprising, growing COM
munity, nor any other kind of a
place, has any use for the malcontent,
usually known as "knocker." Many
Of the worst specimens Of knockers
are not the ones who by their words
injure the home town, but are the
ones who without good reason send
away all the money they have to
spend to some distant place, thus
robbing the home town Of the support
that it should rightly have. 1t is the
business that keeps the town alive
Anything that decreases the volume
OF business Injuries the place. One
may claim that their money is earned
by hard work, and that the right to
spend 1t wherever they wish is theirs.
But there Is such a thing as princi-
pie. and by principles are men gauged
by their fellow men. The "knocker"
is one who values principle - moth
Ing worth preserving or protecting.
Sometimes it is ignorance, the lack
OF knowledge, which impels people to
DO things contrary to their own in.
terests and the interests of their
neighbors; but 1t matters little how
these things are brought about, the
evil ehect is just the same.

Details Of the Microscope.

which the average person can see an
object clearly is about six inches, it
follows that the diameter of an object
three-fourths Of an inch from the eye
would appear eight times the normal
size. The object would then be magni-
fed eight diameters, or 81 times. (The
area would appear Ga times as large.)
But an object three-fourths of an inch
from the eye appears so blurred that
none of the details are discernible,
and it is for this reason that the
pin-hole is employed.
Viewed through this microscope, a
fiy's wing appears as large as a per.
sons hand, held at arms length, and
has the general appearance shown in
Fig. 3. The mother of vinegar ex-
amined in the same way is seen to be
swarming with mass of wriggling lit
tie worms. and may possibly cause the
observer TO abstain from all salads for.

soaked for several days. reveals hun

hundreds of other interesting objects
may be observed in this little instru-
ment, which costs little or nothing to

MICROSCOPE. WITHOUT A LENS.
You Can Make One at Cost Of LII.
Time and Trouble.

. Nearly everyone has heard of the
pin-hole camera, but the fact that the
same principle can be used to make
microscope. having magnifying
power of eight diameters ga times) will
perhaps be new to some readers.
To make this lensless microscope,
procure wooden spool, A "a short
spool, say one-half or three-fourths
inch long. produces higher magni-
tying power), and enlarge the bore
little at one end. Then blacken the
inside with india ink and allow it to
dry. From piece of thin transparent
celluloid CT mica, cut out small disc,
B, and fasten to the end having the
enlarged bore by means of brads. On
the other end glue piece of thin
cardboard. C, and at the center, D,
make small hole with the point of
fine needle. 1t is very important that
the hole D should be very small, other
wise the image will be blurred
To use this microscope, place small
object on the transparent disc, which
may be mOistened to make the object
adhere, and look through the hole D.
1t is necessary to have a strong light
to get good results, and, as in all mi
croscopes of any power. the object
should be of transparent nature.
The principle on which this instru-
ment works is illustrated in Fig. g.
The apparent diameter of an object is
inversely proportional to it's distance
from the eye, i. e., if the distance is
reduced to one-half, the diameter will
appear twice as large; If the distance
is reduced to one-third, the diameter
will appear three times as large, and
so on. AS the nearest distance at
