4 Mechanical MarvaI,

Mir. William Webb, of London, has
produced curiosity in microscopic
writing. He has accomplished the feat
by means of machinery on glass, with
the aid OF diamond. writing con.
sists of the Lords Prayer, which is writ
ten upon glass within a space equal to
one two hundred and ninety-fourth part
of an inch in length, by one four hun
dred and fortieth part of an inch in
width, space corresponding to the dot
over the printed letter l. The dot of
writing has been enlarged by means of
the photograph so as to occupy a space
of about two inches long by one an a
half inches broad.
The photograph brings the words ont
legibly, thenumber of letters being DOT.
Such is the fineness Of the original
writing that %, 49,, 1913 letters written
the same way would only cover one
square inch of glass surface. The
whole Bible, including the Old and New
Testaments, contain 1866, $50 letters /;
therefore Mr.. Webb could write the en-
tire contents of more than eight Bibles
within the space of one square inch.
Two specimen plates of this micro
scopic writing have been produced for
the United States museum at Washing
ton at a cost of $50 each.
The Webb machine, however, does
not equal, i'll the fineness of writing or
the perfection it has attained, similar
machine, the invention of Mr.. Peters.
a wealthy banker of London. This ma
chine produced writing as long since MS
1876, nearly three times rs fine as that
Of Mr.. Webb. 1t was competent to en-
grave the entire contents of the Bible,
~ times over within the space of a
single square inch.
