TASK IS BEYOND SCIENTISTS Why It Is Improbable That Mankind Will Ever Be Able to S«e a Molecule. Shall we ever In* able to get s ml* croscojie mi powerful that It will show us a molecule? Science believes not. While the ultra*inlcroacope enables us to detect an object hn small us a flv*v millionth part of un Inch In diumeter that i>. the 2&*mlllloo*tnlUlotith of a square Inch—a molecule of hydrogen is only one-thirtieth of this. The principle of the ultra-micro* scope Is simply thut. Instead of direct ing a powerful lieatti of light Into the microscope through the liquid to be examined. It Is sent horizontally Into tlie liquid at right angles to the line of vision—from the side. Then, If the liquid Is optically empty—lf It has no flimtlng particles—there Is nothing to reflect the light, slid the field of vision appears quite dark. If. on the other hand, tiny particles are present In the liquid, the light Is reflected, and the minute points of light stand nut ugnlnst the durk back ground. making the particles visible.

"A voltage of ITJO Is. of course, more dungcrous. At 440 volts and over the liuznrd become*, very real mid an>thing over 000 «*■ 1,000 \.»lr must be treated with re*q*cct and con stant taulloti. It Is not possible to say where rcul danger begins, nor Is It necessary, at least over IfiO volts." Why the Breakers Roared. “I've hin'ii down here at the t»enrh Iwo weeks," she remarked, "and my bunds aren't tanned a bit. Funny, isn't It?” "Oh.
