THE MICROSCOPE. 179 



DR. Bion Whelan, of Hillsdale, Mich., bought a Bausch and Lomb 

 microscope, through us, about the middle of December last. 

 He writes: — ''I have not had the instrument six weeks, yet I have 

 made enough money, by examining specimens for neighboring doc- 

 tors, to more than pay me what it cost." 



"/~^REY Beard" gave us our first "renewal." It reached us on the 

 vjr first of December. N. R. Reynolds followed in a day or two; 

 evidently they did not wish their journals discontinued. 



THIS number completes volume I of The Microscope. The 

 great majority of the subscriptions expire with the volume. To 

 insure the prompt receipt of the April number, it will be necessary 

 that you send us your renewals at once. Club rates given upon 

 application. Be prompt in this matter, for we shall surely discon- 

 tinue the journal at the expiration of the time paid for. 



A VISIT from Mr. E. H. Griffith, a few evenings ago, lightened 

 our work and started us on fresh pursuits after things micros- 

 copical. His "Griffith club microscope" should be named "multum 

 in parvo." 



THE "Typical Stem" was the subject of an excellent address by 

 Mrs. Stowell, of the Ann Arbor university, last evening, before 

 the Griffith club of microscopy. Her remarks were worthy of the 

 verbatim short-hand report that was taken by Mr. Flowers for pub- 

 lication, but, owing to the unanticipated need of an engraving, 

 similar to the diagram placed upon the black-board, it is necessarily 

 omitted. The meeting was largely attended by the leading scientific 

 gentlemen of the city, who warmly complimented Mrs. Stowell upon 

 her address. At the conclusion of the address Mrs. Stowell was. 

 elected an honorary member of the society. — Evening News, Detroit,
