THE ULTRA MICROSCOPE.
1t Detects Objects Whose. Size or Shape
Cannot Be Seen.

1t will come as news to most peo-
pie that science has invented in
struments that 60 two degrees be-
vond the most powerful microscope
in detecting small objects. The
first of these is known as the ultra
violet microscope. This takes ad-
vantage of the fact that photo
graphic plate can often see things
that the human eye cannot, and for
the following reason:
things cannot reflect light and
consequently cannot be seen that
are smaller than the smallest wave
length of light that falls on them.
Violet light Is the smallest that can
be possibly seen with the human
eve. But there exists q mitch small
cr wave length in the part Of the
spectrum not visible to the eye call
cd the ultra violet light. This has
the peculiar property OF affecting a
photographic plate just as any other
light would, so that We get true
picture Of the mnute:9b that Is
under examination. ::
Thus the deficiency Of the eye is
made up for by mechanical inyen-
ton of the human brain. This ul-
ira violet light, though not detecta-
blesby the human eye, is easily seen
by,.small animals and insects. 1t
has been tried with great success on
ants especially. With this ultra vio-
let microscope the smallest objects
that can be photographed with def
niteness of dimensions are brought
out with wonderful distinctness.
But there is one other instrument
that can detect much smaller OBJ
jectsjthough their shape or size can
not be seen, and that. is known as
the ultra microscope. This takes
advantage of the fact that small
object will scatter any light that
falls on it. To make the meaning
clear, all, of US have noticed a beam
of light entering a room full of
floating dust particles. We see only
the dust particles in the beam of
light. The reason we see them is
because each little particle scatters
the light that falls on it in all di-
rections, and some of the scattered
light enters the eye.
This is the principle on which the
ultra microscope is based. Light is
made to fall on the object in such a
way that none of the direct light
can enter the eye. Then the parti-
cles appear as small points of light.
In this way it has been proved that
the coloring in red glass is not diff
fused, but consists of thousands of
little red particles close together

LAGOON SHARKS.
Aitutaki Islanders Catch Them by tho
Tails With a Lasso.

The island OF Altutakl, one OF
the Hervey group, in the Pacific, Is
surrounded by iSlets underneath
which are submarine caverns, the
home of sharks. The natives classi-
fy them as lagoon sharks, which are
quite ferocious at times and spare
nothing they can seize. The lagoon
shark. about six feet long, Is es-
teemed a delicacy, and the natives
supply their ieasts with the tooth
some dish by a remarkable style oI
fishing.
Arrived over the entrance 10 The
shark cave. the fisherman leaves his
canoe to tie care Of his compa2-
ions and dives to the bottom, ear
rying with him Il slipknot Of strong
cord. He expects to find two or
three sharks at home, we'll satisfied
and drowSy after feeding in the
lagoon. with their tails toward the
entrance. Selecting the largest, the
diver adroitly adjusts a moose over
the tail, taking care that it hangs
loosely. If he has another moose
he secures a second shark, ~.-r'
The shark catcher now, WI iEl;. .6fse
bound on the white, sandy: bottom,
rises to the .surface.'in order to as
sist his friends in hauling the
fish. The astonished sleepers be-
meath suddenly find themselves as
cending tails first to the surface.
Once inside the canoe smart blow
from an ak between the eyes or on
the nose ends the career of the fish.
One of the most successful shark
catchers at Aitutaki was Reubena.
Long practice had made him almost
amphibious. One morning he start
ed off with two companions to one
of the more distant islets.
On entering it Reubena found
several sharks lazily resting them
selves. In a trice a slipknot was
skillfully passed over the tail of the
nearest shark without exciting its
ire. The shark at this critical juno
ture moved so that there was not
room enough for Reubena to get
out.
he gently stroked the side of the
shark and succeeded in inducing it
to move away so as to permit his
exit. This operation is said to be
very agreeable to the fish, but if
through nervousness the shark be
stroked the wrong way its anger is
sure to be excited and the divers
life would be the certain forfeit.
Reubena was making his escape
when, to his dismay, another large
shark came back from feeding in
the lagoon and blocked up the en-
trance with his unwieldy body. To
get out now was impossible, for
even Reubena dared not stroke the
head Of the monster.
The captive fisherman waited,
hoping the shark would 90 farther
in so as to leave the opening free.
The huge fish did not move. Reu-
bena's agony became intense. Sec
onds seemed to be hours. At last
the shark passed on quietly into the
interior. and Reubcna was barely
able 10 get out Of the cave and rise
