Office Carbon Usedfor Scientific WorkNew York.—How a piece of ordinary carbon paper, such as every office stenographer uses for duplicate letters, solved an exacting scientific problem -is recorded in the metallography department of the Bell Telephone labora^tories here.The problem was to focus the ultraviolet microscope, which uses the rays at the blue end of the spectrum. These rays are invisible to the eye, but register on a photographic plate. The delicacy of the adjustment is indicated by the fact that the microscope phctogiapbs ‘bject3 us small in diameter as two hundred or three hundred atoms, which is the closest to nothing that visibility baa yet approached.Francis F. Lucas, in charge of the work, observed *tha* carbon complete- J ly absorbed the ultraviolet fight, which * meant that If a line of carbon sufficiently tliir. could be laid acn ~ the surface under (he microscope, it would form an object cr sufficient contrast to make focus possible. How to get such a line was solved, after considerable experiment, simply by laying a sheet of ordinary cat bon paper face down on the specimen and drawing a line with a pencil on the bark of the carbon.Russia Sends Coats to Moslem WomenTiflis.
