NEW POWERFUL MICROSCOPE
Enormous Magnlficatlon Is Attained
Without Former RlemIshea Due TO
Optical Causes.

A.ere has baen exhibited before the
Royal society of London a form Of
microscope, the invention of Professor
Gordon, by means OF which enormous
aagnification of an object can, 1T Is
tated, be attained without the blem-
hes due to optical causes that for,
aerly marred such images.
We may suppose that the enlarged
image Of an object is received from
microscopic lens upon ground glass
ocussing screen, and that then an
rther microscope is employed still fur
her to enlarge the image SO formed.
This is, Of course, quite feasible, but
the grain of the glass would be magni-
lied together with the image and would
vittate the result. Professor Gordon
uses a translucent screen of the finest
POSSIBLE texture, and he causes it to be
'ept in constant motion while the OBJ
ect is being viewed or photographed.
BY this means the grain of the screen
$ eliminated and the greatly magnified
mage of the object alone seen. Specl.
mems magnified to the extent of ten
thousand diameters were shown as
proofs of the efficacy Of the method
adopted. -Harper's Weekly.

Love Is the wind. the tide, the wave,

1t can make a paradise within, which
will dispense with paradise without.
But. though the wisest men in all ages

every human heart Is. sooner or later,
more or less made to feel 1t, yet how
