A POWERFUL MICROSCOPE.
So powerful Is a microscope, which has been installed at the Harvard University in America that it will magnify a full etop to the size of an average house. Under such an instrument a boy would loom like a giant, greater than 'the one Jack met at the top of the magic beanstalk.
The instrument, which magnifies 50,000 diameters, is said to lie more powerful than any other microscope of us kind in the world. It weifrhe a ton, and has a little high-precision electric motor for focusing, and is being used mostly to examine mineral ores.
