MODERN INVENTIONS
THE MICROSCOPE
By GEORGE FITCH
Author of at Good Old Siwasho

The microscope is the Columbus in
the microhe world.
II is an instrument for making
small things visible, high powered
annex to the human eye which has
enabled man TO pry into the secrets
Of Nature and ramble in vast fields
of learning which could at one time
have been suceess.uply concealed
under fly speek.
Before the microscope was in
vented man could detect a pin point
without sitting upon it. but that was
all With the aid of the microscope
he can map pin point on into hills
and valleys and can pursue bacilH
over its rugged surface, counting
their ribs and toes and Investigating
the parasites which feed upon them
Before the microscope became all
powerful, the house fly was a harm
less insect which WAS allowed to
coast down the babys nose with in-
nocent abandon. Nowadays, how
ever, whenever microscopic
catches fly he takes a census of the
microbes on its toes and usually
discovers enough OF them to stock a
large orphan asylum with al the
popular diseases of the day
The microscope has introduced us
to the stephloeecci- the pneumoo-
coeci, the rim tailed and thousands

If the Drainage District could not
obtain funds from the state to build

Parsons did not want Cairo to have
one. His interests in the Drainage
District greatly overshadowed his
interests in the city and the mere
fact that Cairo is under contract
with the State to build its leyees to
the height of sixty feet did not cou-
Germ him.
1t must be admitted that Cairo

should cater TO Cairo's peGple rather

The people of Cairo have rcmon-

The people again demonstrated
their friendship for the Drainage

demonstration was given when tho

asked only for what it actually

have n large number Of looms employed
in turning these gods off aud they will be
occupied for some time TO come.
Tho call for narrow goods has been
light and the takinSs have been small;
as regards fancics, the market is slow
and the same statement can he applied
to fine goods. Satecns and twills have
received some attention from buyers and
39-inch, 6i-l0i, 40 yard sateens command
a full asking price Of ~ cents a yard
and they have sold at this price. Bids

turned down by manufacturers.
With stocktakinS season being over and
other annoying circumstances removed,
II is believed now that buyers will turn
their attention 10 replenishing their
stocks. and from now on the cloth mar
kets ought 10 show moderate improve
ment weekly; it Is not to be expected
that the demand will be brisk at tho out
set, because some houses are 50 situated
that they have some stocks on hand and
1t will be some time before they are able
to move their goods to warrant active
buying.

crate amount OF business done; these
factors have orders on their books whl,h
will require their full complement of ma
chinery to get the goods out on time.

during the week, but the changes did not
affect cloth values to any appreciate ex-

The weeks report OF the commercial
agencies indicates that trade is still In
healthy condition, but there has been a
contraction in some lines. "Dun's Re
view" says:
Business in nearly all departments con-
tinues very satisfactory, the volume OF
transactions making an imposing total as
is evidenced by the week s statistics OF
bank clearings which show gains OF 1919
and 1913 per cent, respectively. over the
two preceding years. There is general
feeling of conservative optimism In CONF
