Skipper lnfestation Of Stored Meat
The best method for keeping skip
pers out of meat is to keep flies
from coming in contact with the
meat while the meat is being han
died. A dark, cool, well-ventilated
fy-proof smoke house is great help
in this respect. Occasional smoking
of the meat during summer storage
will also be helpful. Another meth
cd is to wrap the meat in paper and

YALE MICROSCOPE
BOUGHT in 1884
First Instrument of Its
Kind Acquired By Any
N. E. College

New Haven, Conn, July 27-It is
highly probable that an ancient
microscope which has been at Yale
since 1884 is the first microscope
ever bought by the college, accord
ing to an article by Professor Lor-
ande Loss Woodruff, chairman, of
the Department of Zoology and dir
ector Of the Osborn Geological Lab
oratory at Yale, in the summer is
sue of the American Scientist"
The microscope is also the first
known to have been acquired by any
New England college, Professor
Woodruff says 1t costs three pound
three shillings, which is the amount
paid to a Mr.. Scarlet in 1874 for
"one double microscope. Although
there is no label on the instrument
itself, there is evidence to show that
it was constructed by Matthew
Loft, Maker at the Golden Spec
tacles the Blackside of the Royal
Exchange, London"
The Oldest Yale records do not
show the purchase Of any such in
strument before 1884, and the mic
roscope now at Yale was the only
instrument at the college until 1906,
when under Professor Silliman the
real development of scientific equip
ment began at Yale"
