The Microscope. 145 



of the floor by the multitude present the resolution was perfect even 

 to the laymen present who had never seen it before. 



But enough of this. The entire space at your disposal would 

 not suffice to do justice to the subject. At 9 :30 the first part of the 

 pi'ogramme was announced as finished, and in a short space of time 

 lamps were extinguished and tables moved back, and the audience 

 were treated to a stereopticon exhibition of microscopic objects with 

 the magnificent lantern apparatus owned by the Adelj^hi Academy. 

 Profs. Peckham and Mr. G. M. Hopkins, assisted by students of 

 the senior class of the Academy, projected slide after slide upon the 

 screen, until another hour had passed, and an end came to what was 

 undoubtedly one of the most successful microscopical exhibitions 

 ever held in this State. 



The Committee of Arrangements having the matter in charge 

 certainly earned the congratulations of all who witnessed the ex- 

 hibition. They were: Mr. G. D. Hiscock, Prof. W. C Peckham, 

 Mr. G. E. Ashby, Mr. Joseph Ketchum and Mr. E. C. Chapman.
