Re sources of cheap microscopes. My wife, Dena purchased some inexpensive
dissecting scopes (approx $200) last year. Here is the information:

>>>Achiever Stereo Microscopes 10x/30x or 20x/40x (I believe he also sold
compound scopes but I was not interested at the time.)
At the time (Sep1999), they were $199 plus $11 S/H.

Re the poem "Big Fleas, Little Fleas," by Robert W. Hegner which goes like
this:

Big fleas have little fleas,
Upon their backs to bite them.
And little fleas have lesser fleas,
and so ad infinitum.

Tonight I ran across this verse by Dean Swift:

So Nat'ralists observe, a Flea
Hath smaller Fleas that on him prey.
And these have smaller Fleas to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum.
