In the animal kingdom are found
myrlads of forms SO minute that their
bulk is reckoned by less than the mil
lionth part of cubic inch, yet each
one is endowed with organs of sense or
assimilation sufficient TO serve the pur-
pose in their sphere of life. The veg
etable kingdom, also, offers abundant
specimens of microscopic forms, calcu-
lated to excite our admiration by the
beauty and minutencss of their organ
isms. Such is notably the case in sew

gate 6i,OOO to the inch while imphi-
pieua peliucida often exhibit strim ex-
ceeding 100000 to the hneal inch. And
yet the skeletons of these three minute
organisms are composed mainly of
slick, the slick again being made up of
silicon and oxygen. Notwithstanding
the almost intnitesimal magnitude of
the organic world, human skill is able
to compete in the matter of minute
ness. Platinum wire has been drawn
