The Optical Lever.

The delicate measurements de-
handed by modern scientific processes
and machines have led to the inyen-
ton Of many instruments OF precision
that surprise the uninitiated by their
capabilities, which are often based
on Extremely & simply principles.
Among these is a little apparatus re-
Gently put upon the market in
France for determining the thick:
ness. or, one might say, lack of thick.
ness, OF extremely thin plates, wires
and threads. The inventor likens It's
action to that of a lever in which a
ray Of light takes the place Of athe
beam. Essentially the, apparatus
consists of two carefully ground
plates in contact with one another,
the upper one being attached to "a
movable arm. When an object is
placed between the edges Of the
places the upper plate is displayed a
little in level, and the effect OF this
displacement is magnified by a re.
tiected ray OF light which falls upon
graduated scale. Thus the most
delicate measurements Of thickness
are easily and quickly made.

The Ants Of the Hlm.Iayas.

In the Himalayas, on the side fac.
ing India, the limit of perpetual snow
is about $500 feet higher than in
the Alps. One result Of this Is that
various forms of life are found in the
great Asian mountains at an elera-
ton which seems extraordinary.
Among these are many species of
ants, which have been particularly
studied by DR.. August Forel.. Up to
nearly 10000 feet the ants are very
abundant, and even at the elevation
Of 10000 feet four species have been
found, and It is believed that more
careful investigation would show
that they exist even at $4,000 feet or
more. A unique fact. not found in
any other great mountain range, is
that the Himalayas possess an i'm.
mense variety OF local species OF ants.
Out Of no forms recognized in the
Himalayas, so are peculiar to those
