 M anton, W. P. — What to work with. 



[" It is often a matter of question with the beginner, what objects shall be 

 examined with the Microscope. The answer, roughly speaking, would be, 

 Everything."']

 Minot. C. S. — A Staining-Dish. 



[A convenient form of staining-dish has hitherto been a desideratum. The 

 new dish is made of clear glass with polished surfaces, and is sufficiently 

 deep to hold a considerable quantity of fluid, while the curves inside are 

 such that, although large sections lie nearly fiat, yet when little fluid is 

 used it gathers into the centre. The dishes, owiug to their vertical sides, 

 are readily stacked, while the bevel is wide enough for a label, which can 

 be easily seen both when the dishes are stacked and as they are set upon 

 the table singly. 1

[Dr. A. Ihl (see this Journal, V., 1885, p. 897) claimed to have found that 

 in addition to the phlorglucin, specially made by Wiesner, other phenols 

 stidu wood-fibre in a characteristic manner, and Dr. Molisch remarks that 

 Wiesner in 1878 called attention to the fact.]

[Contains a variety of recommendations for hardening, staining, mounting, 

 &c, including a description and figure of a lifter for removing sections 

 from various fluids, consisting of a handle terminated at each end by a 

 blade of German silver ; the larger of these blades is triangular, and the 

 smaller oblong and quadrangular.]

[" I think I have overcome absolutely the difficulty of sweating by a form of 

 mounting, which is simply one ring fitting loosely to an inner ring 

 fastened securely to the slide."]
