Ingenious and Economical Microscopes.
There ia a man who sometimes stands in
Leicester. square, London, who sells mic o.
scopes at penny each. They are made of a
pill box; the bottom taken out, and piece
OF window glass substituted. A small eye
hole is bored in the lid, and therein is placed
the lens, the whole apparatus being painted
black. Upon looking through one of these
microscopes, was surprised to find hum
dEeds OF creatures, apparently the size of
eArth-HoTms, swimming about in all direc-
tions; yet on the object glass nothing could
be seen but speek OF -four and water, con-
Veyed there on the end of lucifer match
from a common ink-stand, which was
nearly full of this vivifed paste.
Another microscope exhibited a single
representative of the animal kingdom show
ing his impatience of imprisonment by kick
ing vigorously. Though must cOnfess to
shudder, could not help admiriDg the beau
ties of construction in this little monster,
which if at liberty would have excited muir
derous feelings unfavorabe to the prolonga-
ton of his existence, The sharp-pointed
mouth with which he works his diggings,
his side claws, wherewith to hold on while
at work; and bis little heart, puIsating
slowly but forcibly, and sending a stream Of
bloed down the large vessel 10 the center of
his white and transparent body, could also be
When the stock of this sort of game runs
short, a common carrot-seed is substituted,
which, when looked at through maguifer,
is marvelously like an animal having thick
body and numerous legs projecting from the
sides; SO like an animal that it has been mis-
taken by an enthusiastic philosopher for an
animal creature in OF by a chemical mixture
in conjunction with electricity.
L bought several of these microscopes, de-
termiBed to find out how all this could be
done for penny. An eminent microscopic
examined them, and found that the magnify-
ing power was twenty diameters. The cost
of the leAs made of glass, of such power,
would be from three to four shiliings. How,
then, could the apparatus be made for a sim
gle pennyR
A penknife revealed the mystery. The
pill-box was cut in two and then it appeared
that the lens was made of Canada bSlsam, q
transparent gum. The balsam had been
heated. and carefully dropped into the eye
hole Of the piti-box. IL then assumed the
proper size, shape, transparency, and polish
Of very well ground glass lens. Our ingeni
Gus lens-maker informed me that he had
been selling these microscopes for fifteen
years, and he and his family conjointly made
them. Ono child cut out the pill-boxes, an.
ether the gap, another put them together
his wife painted them black and he made the
lenses.

A Famous Historic City--Appearnnco of
Prarue.

n aAohSAAS CAAg fhEESe@AAAANN VA
Prague.
A correspondent of the New York Times
thus writes from the city Of Prague:
The city of Prague lowers gloomily on
the stranger who arrives by night; the
streets, at that time seem TO be inordinately
wide; and the sidewalks, being paved with
little round pebbles, worked into sort of
tassalated pattern, are particularly exaspe-
ratiug TO the temper and feet; the lamps are
few, and badly supplied with some thing
that comes through the pipes like gas, but
don't burn like it. The Austrian officers, more
clanky and cigary than usual, and the ho-
tells so modest and quiet in their appearance
that they seem to have retired from busi-
meas, and to sell wine and beer merely out
of regard to ones feelings, and in accord
ance with the benevolent foundation of their
institution. BY the time the traveller
reaches his bedroom be is generally in a
condition to start again. 1t seems improba-
bic that he will desire to stay an hour longer
than absolute sleep requires.
When the morning comes bis astonish-
meBt is all the greater to find himself in the
midst of a city Of the cheeriest commercial
activity, with stores in every direction, and
people hurrying to aud fro with that pecu-
liar speed which the pursuit of money can
alone imDart. Most large cities appear to
X,
when the streets are filed with people and
the streets glitter with lights. 1t is different,
however, bere, where the entire town seems
to shut up at seven o'clock, and to hide itself
till early morning, One reason for the
glo0miness of the streets Is the prevalence
Of palaces-great dreary ranges of white
washed buildings looking more like stables
than human habitatiOns, and aften stretching
their wearisoue length through whole
streets. Against such heavy odds the store
keeper would struggle in vain. His lights
would be swallowed up in the blaekness of
nsigkbOring dead walls, and serve merely TO
make darkness visible.
Palaces abound in all German capitals, but
here they literally infest the street, and are,
for the most part, commonplace in style and
wearisome in detail. The porches and door
wsys, however, are generally adorned with
handsomely cbiseled statues-some of them
possessing rare vigor-aDd the interiors are
frequently enriched with invaluable art
treasures, which those who are interested
therein may freely inspect. The Bohemian
mobiles are famous not only for their wealth,
but for toe excellent use they make of il.
Statuary seems to have been a passion with
them; works of great merit are scattered all
over the town; the bridge alone possesses
tWeDty-eight groups, some of them excellent
in design and treatment.

It is not generally known, says tbs Lon

ufacture of children's toys in Germany has
become. nor the full amount of care and at
tention that is bestowed on their construc-
ton. The best come from one district, Som
neberg, in Sax Meiningen; and the princi-

whose works in the Great Exhibitionin 1851
excited much attention in the southeastern
district of the old Thuringian forest are num-
bers who live by this ingenious trade; and
the Hereditary Duke fully aware of the inn
portance of its mercantile improvement, has
founded and fitted ont schools for the better
instruction of the workmen, gathering for
their use books, prints, and models. The
workmen are generally bred to the trade;
sons improve on fathers work, and as in
other factories, it is found that some have
exclusive ability in particular branch of
manufacture only--a peculiar native facility
which, in so large factory can be exclusi-
vely devoted to its own bias The use of
papier mache in place of wood carving has
been the real secret of the great improve
ment of toys; for good model in clay or
wax being obtained, it could be reproduced
in cases by the commonest workmen, women
or children Another advantage of papier
mache was its hghtness and hollowness-
the latter allowing the introduction of sim
pie machinery for movement. The cheap
ness of good casting triumphed over the
commonest carving, and the result has been
a continued Improvement in German toys,
until those of the best class may fairly be
considered artistic models of nature, acting
as educational agents where such agents can
only be introdueed-that is by means of
play.

conjunction with the Russian authorities,

resulted in the promise that all the troubles
should be remedied The Russians had not
completed their negotiations tor an adjacent

sistance of the water TO the whole bulk,

change now contemplated, the propeller
will be thrown l2O feet from the centre,

aeen what effect this will have upon the
