off. We counted % bulls, cows and
calves. One old bull was standing
guard and two bulls were locking
horns.
We were too tremulous with excite
ment and our eyes were too weak
from the glare OF the snow desert TO
trust ourselves TO shoot straight at
that distance. There was nothing icr
IL but TO rush up 10 them.
We rose and dashed forward, grasp
ing our rifles. The old bull gave tne
alarm and In moment the whoie
nerd was facing us, with heads down
and horns arrayed against us. HAD
had breath to yell, could have yeiied
for Joy. As 1t was. only gasped.
When we were so yards on, the Dig
bull sank his head still lower, IL was
the signal to charge. Without SLACK
ening my pace. | pointed my rife. aim
ing AT the back OF the neck, above the
thick shield Of the horns. That bullet
meant our lives. IL IL missed and the
herd charged on. VIC should be crush
ed like icc-crystals under the black aV-
alanche of laundering beasts. That
was the most dramatic moment oil my
life.
The outcome? Well. the shot went
true.

The Infinitely Little

It is hardly too great flight OF the
Imagination TO foretell time when
the atomic systems themselves VIII
become virtually visible.
Already the minutest living bacteria
are made to shine like stars in the
microscopic field, and thus their struc-
ture and their manner Of life are re-
yealed.
One OF the ways in which a little
bundle of light rays is made To serve
the purpose OF the microscopic is IL
lIstrated in the accompanying dia'
gram. The ray enters in the direc-
ton shown by the arrow; Is reflect
ed from parabolic surface to point
on the stage OF the microscope, exact
~ where the object to be examined
is situated; foods that object with
light. without producing confusing
animation round about: then Is re-
fected down to another parabolic sur
face, which sends II away without In.
reference. Thus the object is turned
into a practically selfluminous thing,
revealing its minutest pecunarities.
The plan is not new, but the execu-
ton of il is.
Objects that are too small TO be seen
at all directly are rendered visible by
the disk of light that the phenomenon
% reiraction forms around them. Lord
nayleigh has said that isolated OBJ
jects. separated By dark line, may
be seen If the line is one-sixteenth, or
one-thirty-second. OF a wave-length OF
light broad. But a wave-length of light
is at the best. the thirty-thousandth
o an inch long.

("lHE microscope Is making at
least as much progress as the
telescope, and some recent
. achievements In penetrating
the world OF the infinitely lit
tie are truly astonishing. The bottom
has not been reached in either direc-
ton: the universe Is as wonderful on
one side as on the other Height rises
above height. and depth lies below
depth; everywhere there is equal per
lection of detail, and no end is WIS.,
ible.
In both cases progress depends on
the manipulation of light. The as
tronomer strives TO increase the
amount of light that his telescope can
grasp, dreaming even of glasses eight
or ten feet in diameter and perfect in
optical quality; while, on the other
hand. the miscroposcopist tries to
bring single light rays under his
control, concentrating them upon
the object TO be examined In
such wav that no external illumina-
ton can interfere with distinctness OF
vision. He has almost arrived at a
point where he can see the molecules
themselves.
But beyond the molecules lie the
atoms. and beyond the atoms are the
unthinkably minute corpuscles and
ions which encircle In their tiny or
bits with all the regularity of great
planets and comets speeding round
the sun and the stars. In view of
what has recently been accomplished,
