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

II will come as news to most peo-
pie that science has invented IN
struments that 60 two degrees be-
You'd 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 a 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
eye. But there exists much small
err 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 mechanical inven-
ton of the human brain. This ul
ira violet light, though not detecta-
bic by the human eye, is easily seen
by small animals and insects. 1t
has been tried with great success on
ants especially. With this ultra VIC
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 a small
object will scatter any light that
falls on it. To make the meaning
clear, all of us have noticed beam
OF nght entering 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 scattcrs
{ 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

Got Q Prize.

Wertheimer, London art dealer,
was one day passing through May
fair when he noticed q sale about to
take place of the furniture and
household effects of a deceased no.
bleman." He walked through the
rooms where dealers were critically
examining choice specimens of un-
doubtedly genuine Chippendale and
Sheraton, interspersed among early
Victorian furniture, his eyes ap-
parently dwelling on nothing. But
'when the sale was about to begin he
asked the auctioneer if he would
take $4,000 ($25, 00O) for every.
thing in the house. The offer was
accepted "Now you can resell
everything for me-" said Mr.. Wer-
theimer, Except this" and he took
down from the mantelpiece a dirty
ornament some nine inches high
and put into his pocket. 1t was a
piece OF the rarest Dresden china
bearing the coveted mark of the
wand of Aesculapius, which he aft
erward sold for $4,000.

A Professors Tact.

While conducting examinations
at an English university Professor
Darcy Thompson learned that one
of the students to be examined, u
young woman who was a candidate
for degree, was so timid and
nervous that it was likely she would
not do herself justice in the exami-
nation, and he was asked to make
allowances for this. Professor
Thompson asked to be presented to
her before the hour for examina-
tons, and after meeting her he sug-
gested that as they had few mo-
nents at their disposal he would be
pleased to have her show him about
the museum. She gladly agreed,
and they spent delightful half
hour. But when the dreaded time
approached the nervousness of the
Young woman became apparent.
Finally she summoned courage to
ask when the ordeal would take
place. The conclusion of the story
is obvlous-Professor Thompson
told her the dreaded hour was over
While they sauntered about the
museum he had put her through a
rigid examination. She had an
swered his questions brilliantly, and
she received her degree.

Turning OF the Gas.

AT fraternal banquet in Wash
ngton one of the speakers, getting
back ut the POSTMASTER, a clergy
man, for some of his witticisms. told
the following:
at church service conducted by
the POSTMASTER lady in the con-
gregation suddenly remembered that
she had left her dinner, a roast. in
the stove at home and had forgot
ten to turn down the gas. In her
anxiety about her Sunday dinner
she hastily wrote a note and handed
IT to her husband, deacon, then
engaged in taking up the collection.
Mlstaking the personal note for a
church notice, the deacon carried it
up and handed it to the minister,
who, among other notices, read:
Go Immediately home and turn
off the gas"
When the laughter had subsidized
a member of the banqueting party
arose and said: ri would like to
suggest that the lady got her note
wrong end foremost. Sending it up
to the minister, she probably meant
to say. Turn off the gas immedi-
ately and 60 home. "-Pittsburg
