On a Nose-Piece. — Another addition to the microscope, 

 which I made about a couple of years ago, and which has 

 been very useful, is a triple nose-piece. I had often found 

 Mr. Brooke's ■•double one valuable, but, in the examination 

 of various things, three object glasses are often needful. 

 And, in exhibiting to friends, the additional power is a con- 

 siderable advantage, Avhile three are, generally, as many as 

 Ave wish to use for this purpose.
