prudence, and the Jews to establish
Z niOnOtheism. Tho Jews arc the Yankees
Of the Orient, and they have been from
the first the original Yankees OF the
world. Their acutene@ Of thought and
their strong common sense has never
been excelled. They are called the
chosen people Of God; but they were the
chosen people only In the sense that they
had the ability TO accomplish what no
other race could perform. We ought to
Judge the wisdom Of the choice by the
end which tho chosen were TO sub
serve. One should Judge both Mo-
SEES and George Washington by the
same rule-the importance Of the
services which either has rendered. The
Jews were never able 10 reconcile the all-
lhority Of law with the rights Of personal
freedom. For 400 years they remained
In tribal condition. Then they had u
kingdom. The reigns Of Saul, David and
Solomon were prosperous. Then came re-
verses upon the nation. The Egyptians,
Asytians, Persians, Greeks and Romans
became In turn tile conquerOrs Of the
Jewish race. But their mission was not
ended, nor did II end with the establish
inent Of Christianity; for tie Jews to-day
number nearly s,OO0,00O more than they
ever numbered III antiquity. They have
been like 10 many drops Of water appa-
fently floating a. q part Of the sea Of hui
mainly, but really separate from tile rest
Of the world. Their enterprise Is ono Of
their most distinguished features. They
show this spirit In their religion. The
Jewish God Ia represented as full Of activ-
ity, and when they came 10 make Him
create a universe, they only gave Him six
days to do Il In. The jew iS always very
objective, never subjective.

the wheeling AtheneuTi,


On our first page we publish an article
relating to that eminent divine, the late
DR.. A. II, II. Boyd, Of Winchester. We
have no doubt that the harsh and cruel
treatment 10 which he was subjected dur
Ing the war, al the hands Of the federal
soldiefy, cut short his valuable life.
When We were sent as prisoner 10 Camp
Chase, Ohio, we were stopped over at
Wheeling, aud placed in the Aihenenm
fof safe keeping, II being the military
prison Of that highly loyal part Of West
Virginia, now the capital Of the State, and
used also "A guard house for Yankee
deseftefa and sentenced criminals. There
were over one hundred confined there,
having ball and chain attached. In this
pandenOnium Of human devils we found
DR.. Boyd, the lats Philip Williams, Of
Winchester, N. s. White. Of Chatlestown,
and Others from this section, who we're
held IA citizen prisoners. Tongue will

which, these gentlemen were subjected.
Our experience Of one mig in that prison

than wo ever expected to find on earth.

The New England sabbath

In 1916 they made a law in Massachu-
sets, that il any one contemporary
behaved toward ye word preached, or ye
messengers thereof For ye first scan
dale, to be convented and reproved
openly by ye magistrate at some lecture,
and bound to good behavior; and if a
second time they break forth into ye like
contemplate carriage, either to pay e5
into ye public treasury, or to stand two
hours openly upon block four feet high,
on lecture day, with paper affixed on
his heart, with this, "A WANToN GosPEL-
LER, written in capital letters; We others
may fear and be ashamed of breaking
outinto We like wickedness."
In 1877 the general court ordered that
"a cage be set up in the market place of
Boston, and in such other towns as the
County Courts shall appoint, wherein
shall be put, to remain till examined
aud punished, any one breaking the Sab.
bath" Officers called tythingmen en-
forced the observance of the Sabbath.
The law provided that, as badge Of
office, they should have black staff OF
two foote long, tipt at one end with brass,
about three inches" This staff soon
came TO have a feather stuck in one end,
with whichto tickle the noses OF drowsy
sinners, while the end tipped with brass

were addressed. The total postage re.
ceived for the transmission of one. OF
those tiny bits of paper frequently
amounted to two thousand dollars.
Small as this photo writing seems, it
has been surpassed by mechanism. In
a recent number Of the Lens DR.. ]. J.
Woodward, U. S4A., gives an enlarged
photograph Of microscopic writing done
by machinery on glass, by means of
diamond, executed by Mr.. William
Webb Of London. The writing consists
of the Lords Prayer, which is written
upon glass, within space equal to one
two hundred aud ninety-fourth part of
an inch in length by one tour hundred
and fortieth part OF an inch in width, or
a space perhaps equal to the dot in this
letter i. The photograph given by DR..
Woodward shows this dot of writing en-.
larged to occupy space about two
inches long by one and a half inches
broad. All the words are brought leg
IDLY out on the photograph, the total
number of letters being 227 and such is
the exceeding 6neness of the original
writing that 20 AL ,458 letters written in
the same way would only cover one
square inch OF glass surface. The con-
bined bible and New Testament con-
tains in all 1866, ,45S letters; hence it
would be possible for Mr.. Webb to write
the contents Of more than eight bibles
within the space of one square inch.
Two specimen plates containing the
microscopic writing above alluded to
have been supplied by Mr.. Webb for the
United States Museum at Washington.
Their cost was fifty dollars each.
The Webb machine, however, does not
equal, in the 6neness of its writing or
perfection, the prior instrument of Mr..
N, Peters, wealthy banker Of London,
who, as long ago ss 1885, was able to
write three times finer than Webb. So
perfect was the Peters machine that it
was competent to engrave the entire
contents Of the bible and New Testa- +.
ment twenty-five times over within the
space of a single square inch.

Scientific American.I


During the last siege of Paris the in.
habitants from time to time effected
communication with their friends be.
yond the German investing lines bv
means of carrier pigeons. In fact a
regular pigeon post was organized hav-
ing one OF its receiving stations il Lon
don. Here the written messages for
Paris we're received, and, by photogra-
ply, reduced to microscopic size; each
letter being reduced so small as to be in
visible to the eye except as speck.
Some two thousand of these specks were
then printed on bits of tissue paper
about an inch and half square, which
was rolled and carefully attached to one
Of the tail feathers Of the pigeons. On
the arrival of the bird in Paris the DOS.
tai officials placed the paper under the
microscope, which enlarged the several
specks into readable communications
which were duly copied in writing and
delivered to the persons to whom they
