234 The Microscope. 



We have received some samples of cells for opaque mounts 

 which are neat and tasty in appearance. They are attached by 

 gently heating the slide, and they are offered for only twenty- 

 five cents a dozen. Address Geo. E. Ashby, 103 Maiden Lane, 

 New York. 



Something must be done to stop the ingenious working of 

 our friend Allen Y. Moore. None of our lives will be safe if he 

 continues. A one-fiftieth eye-piece ; a microscopic Geissler

 diatoms ; and now, at last, there is before us a slide of gold 'plated 

 diatoms. One thing, however, he will never be able to do— to 

 show the wonderful network of Carl Heitzrnann.

BLOOD UNDER THE MICROSCOPE.

 wife was found wounded in another part of the room. She said 

 that her husband had come home the night before in a rage and 

 began to abuse her while she was in bed, that he hit her on the 

 head with the butt of his revolver while her head was on the 

 pillow, and spattered blood over the linen ; that she jumped up, 

 and he shot her, inflicting a slight flesh wound in her side. 



She then rushed at him, and, snatching the revolver from 

 him, shot him through the heart. He reeled to the corner where 

 he was found, and died. The prosecution did not believe her 

 story, and set up the theory that she shot him when he was 

 asleep, and dragged him to the corner, and then inflicted the
