SCIENCE NOTES.

An ingenious instrument for the ex-
animation of the back OF the human
eye has been invented by DIR. Carl
Hertzell of Berlin, says a writer in
the London Graphic. While ii must
be considered as an adjunct to the Pa
miliar ophthalmoscope. it possesses. new
ertheless. separate and distinctive
value, and has already served many
useful purposes. Essentially, the ''oph-
halmo- o-diaphanoscope." as 1t is called,
consists of a portable cylindrical elec-
trio lamp of about so candlepower.
with self-contained tube for water cool
ing. At the lower end is an electric lead
WIRE which is Joined up to an electric
lighting supply box when the apparatus
is in use and current required.
The patient places the instrument in
the mouth, as far back as possible and
against the upper wall of the buccal
cavity. The light is then turned on.

pearances of the membranes and patho-
logical conditions of the back of the

in front of one Of the batteries, and a

These safes are the invention of H. b.
