THE MICROSCOPE. 19 



DR. VYjIA.YJV AW6 Joiintal de Micrographie comes to us as regular 

 as ever, notwithstanding its threatened annihilation by a my- 

 opic contemporary. If we had our way about it, we would insure 

 complete success, not only to every microscopical journal now in 

 existence, but also to, at least, a dozen more. 



WE notice an announcement of the sixth season of excursions 

 "from Detroit to the Sea." These excursions are under the 

 charge of W. H. Brearley of the Evening News. We wish to notice 

 this excursion especially for two reasons: First, Mr. Brearley is a 

 very earnest worker in microscopy and has done more, we believe, 

 than any man to make the "Griffith Club," of his city, a success. 

 He owns a very complete outfit, even to an oxy-hydrogen lantern 

 with microscopic attachment, objectives, etc. Second, because we 

 formed one of the company last year. With "special" Pullman cars 

 to commence with, a "special" steamer on the St. Lawrence to fill 

 out with, and "special" good times to end with, who can grumble at 

 ^20 for the round trip? The Thousand Islands, the Rapids, the 

 Mountains, the Sea, who can ever forget them ? An excitement, a 

 series of surpr:ses, a pastime, a rest. For thirty cents Mr. Brearley 

 will send you a guide book telling you all about it. 



DO you intend to be present at the Elmira meeting, August 15th ? 

 Be sure and come and bring something good to sa}^ with you; 

 or if you have no time to write anything, wait until you get in the 

 meeting and out of the fullness of your heart let your mouth speak. 

 Think about the meeting, talk about it, write about it. Make it a 

 success. 



WE have just received a slide of Teichmann's Hsmin crystals, for 

 sale by James H. Logan, of Pittsburgh. They are very fine. 

 Mr. Logan offers some standard works for sale also. 



HARTNACK'S microscopes have a fixed reputation. The former 

 high price of these instruments has prevented their general 

 introduction. If you will send to G. A. Smith, of Boston, for a 

 circular you will see that this is no longer true.
