The invuation of important improvements in the ordinary microscope, giving enlarged field of view and increased power, is credited to Prince Augustin Iturbide, heir of two Merican emperors.

Alloys of aluminum and magnesium are known to be superior to para alamiasm in strongth, but they are less malleable and ductile, A more satisfactory metal is obtained by the Dutch Aluminum Company. A mixture of alamicum with 2 to 10 per cent. of magnesium gives a metal that can hardly be distinguished from aluminum, and the qualities of this alloy are modified by passing several times through a rolling mill while heated to 400 deg, to 500 deg.

THE REVOLVING BOOKCASE.

It is a prime necessity of its very existence that the Tenth Edition of the Enoyelopreci Britannics should be a work of ample proportions, a great library in itself. This means shelf- room, and shelf-room is not always available. But the especially constructed revolving bookcase of quartered oak minimises the space scoupiod, and the volumes arrange themselves in it so that

they can easily be reached. A limited number of revolving casca has been sent from London especially for subscribers in China.
