was examining a fly's eye by its aid. and
was struck with wonder at the SIX Ill and pow
er OF the Creator which Is displayed in its
structure. When saw a statement In an adj
yertisement that the Craig Microscope mag
niged one hundred diameters, and could be
bought for g. thought 1t was one Of the
humbhgs OF the hour, for had paid so for
microscope not long before. But now fnd
II to be a really valuable instrument which
should like to see introduced into the fami-
lies of our readers in place of the manifold
useless toys which please for an hour and is
then destroyed. This microscope would both
amuse and instruct them, and l advise every
boy and girl who wishes to know the wonders
which lie in little things TO save his money
until he has 1915, which will pay for the mi
croscope and the postage when sent by mails
As a holiday gift this microscope Is unsur-
passed, being ornamental, instructive, anus
ing and cheap, and never looses Its interest.
