The Microscope.

There Is good reason to believe that
the magnifying power Of transparent
media with convex surfaces was very
early known. A convex lens of rock
crystal was found by Layard among
the ruins of the palace of Nimrud
And it is pretty certain that after the
invention of glass hollow spheres
blown of that material were commonly
used as magnifers. The perfection Of
gem cutting shown in ancient gems,
especially in those of very minute
size, could not have been attained
without the use Of such aids to the
eye, and there can be little doubt that
the artificers who could execute those
wonderful works could also shape and
polish the magnifiers best suited for
their own or others use.-New York
