Dr. lleylin, in his “Life of King Charles." records that during the reign of (Jueen Elizabeth “there was one who wrote the ten commandments, the creed, the Pater Noster, the queen's name and the prayer of our Lord within the compass of a penny, and gave her majesty a pair of speetacles of such an artificial making that by the help thereof she did plainly and distinctly discern every letter,” says the London Bookworm. A somewhat similar feat was that "rare piecy of work brought to pass by Peter Bales, an Englishman, who also exhibited before her majesty the entire Bible written in a book containing as many leaves as a full-sized edition, but fitting into a walnut.” In St. John’s college.

the engraver's lines, as they seem to be, are really mioroscopic writing, the face alone containing all the book of I’salms, with the creeds and several

forms of prayers.

The learned. Porson is known to have indulged in this species of “curious idleness” occasionally, ami perhaps the Greek verses from the Medea of Euripides, with Johnson's translation of the same, for Burney's “History of Music,” were executed by him. Though consisting of two hundred and twentysix words, they are comprised in a circle half an inch in diameter, with a small space in the center left blank. About forty years ago a specimen of microscopic penmanship was exhibited in America. It consisted of the following inscription written upon glass in a circle much smaller than the head of an ordinary pin (one six hundred and twenty-fifth part of an inch in diameter): “Lowell and Scuter, watchmakers, 04 Exchange street, Portland. Written by Fermat at Paris, 1852.” At the Dusseldorf exhibition a few years ago a gentleman showed a postal card upon which the whole of the first three books of the Odyssey were written, the remaining space being filled with the transcript of a long deI bate which had taken place in the | German parliament a short time bej fore. The whole card contained thirty-

, three thousand words.

Layard, in his “History of Nineveh.” . mentions that the national records of 1 the Assyrian empire were written on bricks in characters so minute as to be I scarcely legible without the aid of a mieroscrope, and that. In fact, a i variety of this instrument was found

: among the excavations.

So much for dainty penmanship. I That minute mechanical construction | can lay claim to considerable antiquity i is evidenced by the works of Pliny and ! Adrian, who relate that Myrmicides i constructed out of ivory a ship with all her appurtenances and a chariot with four wheels and four horses, both so , small that a bee could hide either of

them with its wings.

A still more wonderful work is that of Mark Sealiot, a London locksmith, who, in 1570, manufactured a lock consisting of eleven different pieces of steel, iron and brass, which, together with the key belonging to it, weighed only one grain. The same artist conj structed a chain of gold containing forty-three links, which he fastened to the lock and key. and upon these being attached to the neck of a tiea the insect was able to draw them with ease. Hadianus Junius saw at Mechlin, in Brabant, a cherry stone carved in the form of a basket, in which were fourteen pairs of dice, the spots on the latter visible to the naked eye. A cherry stone carved by the sculptor, Rossi, and containing a glory of sixty saints, was shown at Florence for many years. A still more marvelous curiosity was a set of one thousand six hundred ivory dishes, which were said to have been purchased by one Shad from the maker, Oswald Northingerns, and exhibited before Pope VI. These dainty turnings, though perfect in every respect, were scarcely visible to the naked eye, and could be easily inclosed in a casket the size of a peppercorn. A Jesuits Father Farrarius, made twen-ty-five wooden cannon capable of being packed away in the same space. In 1704, on the birthday of King George 111., a watchmaker of London named Arnold presented himself bofore the king to exhibit a curious repeating watch of his manufacture. This watch was in diameter somewhat less than a silver two-penee, contained one hundred and twenty distinct parts and weighed altogether less than six

pennyweights.

Not very long ago a London newspaper announced that a jeweler of Turin had made a tugboat formed of a single pearl. The sail of beaten gold studded with diamonds and the bin-

wild flowers. There was a submerged log directly in front of the bank where they grew, but as our boat was strong, and she said that she would be broken hearted unless she could have them, we rowed directly over the log and one of us leaned out to pick the blossoms. “Suddenly our boat began to move in a most mysterious manner, going neither forward nor backward, hut straight up. “Alligator!” shrieked some one, and we instantly realized that the supposed log we had seen was in reality a living saurian. Three of

In countless multitudes they r swarmed over the plain, marching in compact order like a well-drilled army. Before them scurried a heterogenous mass of lizards, grasshoppers, frogs, beetles and all other manner of insects and reptiles in a wild scamper to escape to a place of safety. Presently the advance guard reached my hut and disappeared within: then the main column appeared, and soon the roof, floor, walls and rafters were black

and was using the first article to drive the second through the bottom of the boat. ‘You'll have to help: we must be quick! Take off jour shoes and use the heels as hammers!' he cried, and, realizing the necessity of blind obedience, we began driving nails, too. His intention dawed on us by the time it had become a finished action, and we complimented him on his idea of pinning the alligator to the boat with

nails.

“But our prisoner was not pleased, and began thrashing the water violently. Again our clever friend came to the rescue. ‘Does either of you girls wear black stockings?’ said he. One of us did. ‘Then sit up in the end of the boat and dangle your feet in the water. No, don't put your shoes on! Now swing j-our feet to the right!' The j’oung woman followed his directions, and, wonderful to relate, the boat slowly moved to the right. Oars were useless; the align tor bore us home on his back, and we showed our gratitude by putting him out of his misery as soon as we could. “ ‘But how did you know he’d carry the boat, and why did he go where I steered? And, above all, why were blaek stockings necessary?’ “'Have you ever heard of tieing a carrot to the end of a whip and dangling it in front of a balky horse to make him go? My idea was based on that. You swung your feet in the water, and, seeing the black hosiery, the ' 'gator' fancied j'ou were his favorite article of food—a nice, plump little darky. He followed where you led. The nails prevented his reaching j’ou. though his hide was so tough they hurt him but little, and certainly didn't interfere with his powers of locomotion, as we’ve seen.’ “The end of the adventure came some months later in the shape of an alligator-skin pocketbook for each member of the party. The skin used was that of our captured foe. and in the upper corner of each was a tiny gulden nail.” LONELINESS OF THE PACIFIC. Four ThoiiHnnit Mile Trip* May Ho Made Without Moolnit a Sail. “I notice an item in the press stating that the City of Peking in her recent trip sailed twelve hundred and forty miles without meeting a single sail, and this fact is cited as showing the loneliness of the Pacific ocean,” says a writer in the Washington Star. “In the summer of 1S50 I left San Francisco on a sail vessel (formerly from Bal timore) for Panama, distant four thousand miles, and on the entire route, which lasted forty-three daj’s, we never saw a sail!
