SCHOOL TEACHERS

Teaching is wearing work. and only
those teachers who take good care of
their health can stand the daily strain
of the class room. The dull eyes, pale
cheeks, weary head and unstrung
nerves of many teachers show the
need OF building up the nerve-force,
improving the blood and helping the
general condition. Have you heard
of 81. F." Atwood's Medicine? 1t is
a very old home remedy, and entirely
reliable. You can take it with the
assurance that only good effects fol-
low its use. 1t is not "cure-all," but
general conditioner which acts on
the stomach, liver and bowels, and by
putting these important organs in
order, improves the appetite, purifes
the blood, strengthens the nerves and
clears the head. Try bottle and
note how soon you feel its beneficial
influence.

ma uitra.microscope.

There Is one instrument which 10 -
much more delicate In detecting the OF
istence of small particles Of matter %,
under certain conditions, the spectre
scope is than the human eye. This In
strument, msrvellously little known, ie
the ultra. microscope. With the best
modern microscope the smallest particle
which It IL possible to see 10 About
1.70O0th of q millimetre In diameter.
This diameter is just about the length o
half wave OF visible light. 1t is nm.
reasonable to expect the best microscope
10 possess resolving power greater than
this, for with particles smaller than half
the length of wave of light they obvi'
ously cannot reflect the light BY which
they may be seen; for example, one can
not expect grain Of sand to reflect q
water wave; the wave simply embraces
the grain. Outside of the fact that tho
limits of visibility may be somewhat ex-
tended by using ligbtwaves OF short
lengths, IS with ultraviolet light and
photography, there Is one way by which
success may be achieved. Particles, no
matter how small, may be seen II they
are caused to emit light of their own
to become sufficiently self-luminous.
Whether this is valid explanation OF
the observed phenomena, or whether the
extension of visibility is due to illumina-
ton in dark field, may be q matter OF
opinion, but the summarized facts are as
follows: The light from powerful arc
lamp or from the sun Is passed through
a strong condenser is such fashion as
to transform it into superlatively in
tense but superlatively minute beam.
This wisp of intense light passes through
the windows OF cell and impinges there
upon the substance under examination;
the small area illuminated by 1t is then
examined from above by a good micro
scope. As result of this simple mech
anism aud under certain conditions there
spring into visibility PARTICLES which are
as small as the stars are distant. They
are not unlike stars even in appearance
as they lie twinkliDg there in the depths
of the infinitely small. They are like
stars, too, in that their actual shapes are

that their forms may not DO observed,
their average size may nevertheless be

fact. Thus, in examining the particles
of gold in ruby glass the area OF the
minute beam may be calculated, the
number of particles of gold in this area
may be C united, and since the weight OF
