FUTURE DISCOVERIES.
During the war our instrument makers were necessarily largely employed in many directions, and were unable to cater for the requirements of the microscopiat They could not thus devote the time so essential for improving not only the mechanical but the optical details of the microscope, including ite objectives and eyepieces. Notwithstanding the many avances made during the war by the chemist, the electrician, the metallurgist, the engineer, and others, no special claim could be made by the microscopist An It was realised by those who took the far as could be gathered the methods and initiative in the matter that unfor- appliances now used did not show great tunately in the past, both in England and advance on those prior to the war.
