explained. B is too much so and many, 



excepting true workers, can't grasp all the 

 minutiae. I don't care to read thirty pages

 be able to make at least as good a photo- 

 micrograph of each one as is herewith repro-

 the work he will be ready to throw his mentor 

 overboard and take to sea in his own boat.
