Work Of q Microscope.

One Of the newest Of astronomical
Instruments Is the blink microscope.
The principle involved is similar to
that of the moving picture machine.
In the latter the film used consists Of a
series of pictures, each a little differ
ent from its predecessor. If these are
presented in rapid succession the Sc
res is fused into one picture in which
the succeeding differences appear as
motion The blink microscope enables
one to compare photograph Of a por-
ton Of the heavens with another Of
the same region taken several years
later An ingenious contrivance brings
first one then the other plate into view
in rapid succession If in the interval
between two exposures a star in the
region has changed its position appre-
Gladly it will appear to move and can
be detected at once. Formerly it was
necessary to measure carefully the po-
sitions of all the stars on both plates
in order to detect those with large
proper motions. Such stars are some
times called runaway" stars.

Eskimo CARVING.

All of the Eskimo carving today is
done with steel tools, but there is work
in existence that dates back to the
stone age. The older Eskimos say that
their ancestors used tools of flint. and
it is known That they have been cary
ing ivory for many generations. Some
of the very poorest of them and those
that live III the most out Of the way
places are noted for their work of this
kind. they seem to do it for pastime
and make many toys and dolls for
their children. They have a way of
softening the bone, horn or ivory be-
fore they work it, and to make the
carvings more distinct they etch lines
on the surface with black paint made
Of a mixture Of gunpowder and blood
This, when put on the freshly cut bone
makes permanent stain.

Complaint Of tho Stupid.

1t is only stupid people who complain
that they are misunderstood. If they
were not stupid they would know that
there is absolutely no such thing as be-
ing misunderstood, and therefore that
there is nothing whatsoever to be gain
ed by complaining about it.
Wise people who want to be under
stood do not spend their time COM
planning. but in perfecting some means
of expressing themselves by which
they may reveal to the world about
them some slight remnant, at least, Of
their souls or their minds or their ideas
or their discoveries or their eccentrici-
ties or whatever it is they want to
make known.
When YOU complain about not being
understood the only thing YOU make
clear is that you are complainant

one woman waiting for her in the big
two-seated buggy.
After she had the robes tucked around
her she took another look at the woman
who sat beside her on the back seat. She
had met Mrs. Peters the year before at
the county fair, and the thing she remem-
bered about her was that she didn't seem
like sheriff's wife. She was small and
thin and didn't have strong voice. Mrs
German, sheriff's wife before German
went out and Peters came in, had voice
that somehow seemed to be backing
up the law with every word. But if
Mrs Peters didn't look like sheriff wife,
Peters made it up in looking like
sheriff. He was to a dot the kind of man
who could get himself elected sheriff.
heavy man with big voice, who was
particularly genial with the law-abiding,
as if to make it plain that he knew the
difference between criminals and nom
criminals. And right there it came into
Mrs. Hale's mind with stab, that this

man who was so pleasant and lively with
all of them was going to the Wrights'
now as sheriff.
"The country's not very pleasant this
time of year." Mrs. Peters at last VEN
tured, as if she felt they ought to be
talking as well as the men.
Mrs. Hale scarcely finished her reply,
for they had gone up little hill and could
see the Wright place now, and seeing it
did not make her feel like talking 1t
looked very lonesome this cold March
morning. 1t had always been lonesome
looking place. 1t was down in hollow, and
the poplar trees around it We're lonesome
looking trees. The men We're looking at
it and talking about what had happened
The county attorney was bending to one
side of the buggy, and kept looking steadily
at the place as they drew up to it,
"I'm glad you came with me-" Mrs.
Peters said nervously, as the two women
were about to follow the men in through
the kitchen door.
Evening star., 1917-03-04

Even after she had her foot on the
doorstep, her hand on the knob Martha
Hale had moment of feeling she could
not cross that threshold. And the reason
it seemed she couldn't cross it now was
simply because she hadn't crossed it be-
fore. Time and time again it had been
in her mind, "I ought to go over and see
Minnie Foster'-she still thought of her
as Minnie Foster, though for twenty
years she had been Mrs. Wright And
then there was always something to do
and Minnie Foster would 90 from her
mind. But noW she could come.
THE men went over to the stove. The
women stood close together by the
door. Young Henderson, the county
attorney, turned around and said, "Come
up to the fire, ladies'
Mrs. Peters took step forward, then
stopped. "I'm not-cold," she said.
And so the two women stood by the
door, at first not even so much as look
ing around the kitchen.
The men talked for a minute about
what good thing it was the sheriff had
sent his deputy out that morning to

no more use attempting to put one over
on the Mayos than there is in trying to
cheat death at the final showdown"
Expert questioners cross-eXamine every
applying patient-whether multimillion-
aire or day laborer-with merciless thor
oughness, and the answers secured are
checked from various other sources that
almost invariably reveal any attempt to
mislead or conceal.
The motto over the door of the Mayo
examinaton-room should read: "There
is nothing hidden that shall not be re-
vealed." Another familiar and suitable
legend for that room would be: "Let the
punishment fit the crime"
That there is a consistent and unsparing
effort made by the Mayo organization to
make every charge strictly in accord with
the personal circumstances of the patient
might be illustrated by a score of incidents.
The cross-examination of certain man
whose wife was there for treatment de-
veloped the statement that he was earning
two hundred dollars month; that they
had four children; that the wife had been
ill for two years, and that it had taken all
their savings to get to Rochester.
But" he added, Il can borrow little
money to pay as much as couple of
hundred dollars. Will you operate for
that?"
"No! Well not operate for borrowed
money"
"Then will | have to take my wife
back?'
mo You take care of your children.
Wen take care of your wife. You don't
need to pay us anything. We don't need
that kind of money"
In another instance the "follow-up" in
vestigation showed that patient who
had paid $50 for an operation was in an
unexpected financial pinch and the way
ahead looked dark for him. He was as
tonished to receive a check from the
Mayos refunding the full fee.
A medical man tells me this incident:
81 went up there to have a certain
operation performed. If | had paid for
the plates used in the examination the
bill for them would have been $50 and my
