The ULTRA MICROSCOPE.
It 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 20 two degrees be-
yond the most powerful microscope
in detecting small objects. Tie
first Of these is known as the ultra
violet microscope. This takes adj
vantage Of the fact that 4 photo
graphic plate can often see things
that the human eve 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 car
be possibly seen with the human
eye. But there exists much small!
er wave length in the part Of the
spectrum not visible to the eye call
ed 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 minute object that is
under examination.
Thus the deficiency Of the eye is
made up for by a mechanical inven-
ton of the human brain. This ul-
ira violet light, though not detecta-
bic by the human eve, is easily seen
by small animals and insects. It
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
jects, though 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 fan on the object in such q
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 colorlng in red glass is not dif-
fused, but consists Of thousands Of
little red particles close together

LAGOON SHARKS.
Aitutaki islanders Catch Them by the
Tails With Lasso.

the Hcryey group, in the Pacific, is
surrounded by islets underneath h
which are submarine caycrns, the
home of sharks. The natives classi-
" 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-
teemcd a dclicacy, and the natives
supply their leasts with the too.A-
some dish by a remarkable style Of
fishing
Arrived over the entrance to the
shark cave. the fisherman caves his
canoe to the care Of his compan-
ions and dives TO the bottom, car
rying with him a slipknot ot strong
cord. lie expects to find two or
three sharks at. home, well satisfied
and drowsy after feedm- in the
lagoon, with their tails toward the
entrance. Selecting the lai est, the
diver adroitly adjusts a moose over
the tail, taking care that it hangs
loosely. ii he has another moose
he secures a second shark.
The shark catcher now. with one
bound on the white, sandy bottom,
rises to the surface in order to as
sist his friends in hauling up the
fish. The astonishod slccpers be-
meath suddenly find themselves as
cending tails first to the surface.
Once inside the canoe a 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 Rcubena.
Long practice had made him almost
amphibious. One morning he start
ed of with two companions to one
of the more distant islots.
On entering it Rcubena found
several sharks lazily resting them

The object OF the apple exhibition held
in Boston last week was to show the
farmers OF New England that it is posi-
BILE to grow as fine apples in this part of
the country as in the widely advertised
sections of Colorado, Idaho, oregon and
Washington The New England apple is
Of finer flavor than the fruit Of the West,
which runs to size at the expense Of
quality. In this connection the SPRING
field Republican quotes Mr.. Ellsworth,
secretary of the Massachusetts state board
o. agriculture, who has recently visited
the Hood river valley in Oregon, where
apples that command the highest prices
are raised, as saying that the soil and
climate there are no better than New
England affords. Secretary Ellsworth de-
clares It to be folly for men to go to
that country and pay from $3.50 to $500 an
acre for land or from $1,000 to $4,000 an
acre for planted orchards, where irriga-
ton Is needed, and where in many re-
spects the life is by no means as pleas
ant as here, while in New England land
equally as good could be secured for
less than $50 an acre, in sections not need
ing irrigation, in touch with the old civil
ization of the East, aud with many other
advantages, not the least of which is a
market at hand for all the fruit that can
be raised without paying for long
freight haul across the continent. Here
is an important matter which has been
taken up by the agricultural committee
of the Boston chamber of commerce. In
quiry has convinced these chamber of
commerce men that there is no better
soil anywhere for the growth of the
apple than the so-called barren soil of
New England. 1t is pointed out that the
land on which the soil lies costs only
from IS to $50 an acre, whereas the fruit
growers in Oregon or Washington, who
dominate our markets, must pay for
suitable land from $500 to $1,000 an acre.
1t is fqp her declared that the New Eng
land grower stands at the door of the
best market in the world, and so can
save 80 per cent of the freigth charged
his most distant competitor, and can
leave his fruit to ripen on the tree until
the day before it is marketed. 1t is worth
adding that this committee of the Boston
chamber of commerce, of which George
H. Ellis is chairman, have issued an IL
Illustrated report, which will be sent free
of cost to any who may care to apply
for it.

All express companies organized for
the purpose of handling liquors in vio-
lation of the prohibitory law of Maine
will be driven out of the business after
Jan. 1, by orders of the interstate COM
merce commission. These orders so regu-
late the transportation of spirituous
liquors that it will be impossible for this
class of express companies to do business.
The rules are sweeping and drastic in eff
feet. They provide, first, that no COM
mon carrier can receive for transportation
any package of liquor unless the con-
tents and quantity are plainly marked on
the cover; second, that the name OF the
consignee shall be his true name and that
the package cannot be delivered to any
other party without written order from
the consignee; and third, that no c. o. D.
orders shall be taken. The express COM
pany or its agents cannot act as agent
for any party ordering liquors or for any
liquor house. The violation of any of
these rules is punishable by fine not
exceeding 5000.

that peace, plenty and contentment pre-

The Startling Growth Of state Power.
1.-THE Startling Growth of State Power
is a careful analysis by Dr. Hannis Taylor
in the October number of The North
American Review of the extent to which
states have developed within recent years.
He remarks:
when we look the facts in the face
when we measure by standards that do
not deceive the startling growth Of state
power local and national, that has taken
place in the last fifty years, and then
couple with it the manifest tendency to
carry it further still, we cannot deceive
ourselves as to- the actual conditions that
confront the nation as a whole. We have
returned to a time when the prying eye
of the government follows the butcher
to the SHAMELESS and the baker to the
oven'-a time Of collectivism in which
the dependent individual looks to
the state for protection through
the methods OF orderly cooperation which
modern legislation Is seeking to enforce.
During the period that divides Jefferson
from Lincoln a Transformation has taken
place in our internal economic conditions
whose results have reversed the funda-
mental proposition upon which Jefferson's
political theories were founded. Just as
he and his followers demanded that gov
ernpental power should be limited to the
greatest possible extent, and that the
circle Of individual rights surrounding the
citizen should be widened to the greatest
possible extent, a majority Of the Ameri-
can people including those who still
profess to follow Jefferson, are now de-
handing that governmental power, state
and federal, shall be so widened, even at
the sacrifice Of individual rights, as to
protect them against the Incorporated
battalions the new collectivism is hurting
against them. VIII proof OF that assertion
be demanded by any one familiar with
the recent records Of Congress, OF the
state legislatures and Of the courts where
| in the people are striving, through the
exercise of extraordinary state power, Il
restore the equilibrium OF American
| soclety?"
