New illumination.

Prof. Alexander Silyerman has In
vented a new illumination for the mi
croscope whose special advantage is
that 1t gives a very strong light upon
the object examined, so that Opaque
and translucent bodies can be as
readily studied as transparent ones.
The top of the object on the side can
be seen with all the variations of its
surface. 1t is particularly valuable
in testing samples of metals since ii
shows the presence of blow holes and

of fabric from every angle and Is

The roily water makes the hoeing
of his rice field impossible; so he does
not hoe it, he toes it. With bare foot

then presses the dirt firmly in place
