What Might Not a Beetle Sect

Have you ever paused for moment
to consider how much man loses for
want of that microscopic eye, upon the
absence of which Pope was apparently
inclined rather to congratulate his fell
low-beings than otherwise? What a
wonderful world we should all live IN If
only we could see it as this little beetle
here sees it, half buried, as he is, in a
mighty forest OF luxuriant, tall green
moss. just fancy how grand and
straight and majestic those Slender
sprays must look to him, with their
waving, feathery branches spreading on
every side, a Thousand times more grace
fully than the long boughs of the lowell
est tropical palm-;rees on some wild
jamaican hillside. How quaint the tall
capsuls must appear to his eyes-great
yellow seed vessels nearly rs big rs him
self, with comieal, pinlS-edged hood,
which pops off suddenly with bang,
ana showers down moBstrous nuts upon
his head when he passes beneath. Gaze
closely into the moss forest as 1t grows
here beside this smooth, round stone
Where we are sitting, and imagine YOU
can view it as the beetle views it. Put
Yourself III his place, and look up ut it
towering three hundred feet above your
head, while YOU vainly strive to find
your way among its matted underbrush
and tense labyrinths Of close grown
trunks. Then Just look at the mighty
monsters that people it. That little red
spider, magnifieG to the size of sheep,
must be gorgeous and strengthening
creature indeed. with his vivid crimson
body and his mailed and jointed legs
Yonder neighbor beetle, regarded as an
elephant, would seem a terrible wild
beast III all seriousness, with his solid
coat of bronze FURNISHED armor, his huge
hook-ringed antenn@, and his fearful
hranched horn, ten times more terrible
than that of furious rhinoccros charg-
ing madly through the African iunglos.
Why, if you will only throw yourself
honestly into the situation, and realize
that awful life and death struggle going
on between an ant and May-hy before
our very eyes, YOU will Sc that Living
ston, Serpa Pinto and Gordon Cum
ming are simply nowher beside you;
that even Jules Vernes Widest story is
comparatively tame aud commonplace
in the light of that marvellous miniature
forest. Such a tumble Of puzzle mon
keys, and bamboos, and palms, and ban
yam trees and crags, and roots, and
rivers, and precipices was never seen;
inhabited by such terrible and beauti-
fal phantasmagoria of dragons, hippo
griffs, uniforms, rocs, chimaeras, serpents
and wyverns as no medieval fancy ever
invented, no Greak mythologist ever
dreamed of, and no Arabian story-teller
ever tabled. And yet after nil, to orr
clumsy big eyes, it is but little patch
of familiar English grass and MOSES,
