"A Poem written on "a Grain of Rice.

A Chinese teacher has just presented
quite curiosity TO the City Hall Museum.
Many of our readers have doubtless seen
specimens of printing compressed within
very small limits, such for instance as the
whole of the Lords Prayer contained with
in circle the siHe of finger ring. This,
however, Ia not specimen of minute tY-
biography, but of caligraphy, for it consists
of stanza OF poetry, composed by the
teacher himself, which contains thirty
three distinct and well formed Chinese
characters written out in full style without
any contractions, though the most comph-
Gated characters are not introduced INTO
the iii u titan poem. 1t seems almost In
credible, but IL is fact that the whole of
these thirty-three characters are inscribed
on one grain of unhulled rice. 1t Is only
another instance of the patient toll which q
Chinaman Will spend over apparently un-
remunerative work. The grain of paddy
in enclosed under magnifying glass, in a
silver locKet. Accompanying it is wood
en- box containing q sort of discourse, CT
which the grain of paddy is the text.
There are also other papers with 1t, some
relating to the presentation of this curlosl-
ty to the Royal Princess, Prince Albert
Victor, and George, of Wales, for whom il
was originally intended, but owing to the
hitch which occurred in the whole of the
arrangements at that time, and the intend
ing donor was never able to accomplish
his object, though he used every means in
his power to do so.
