A TINY BOOK.

Dante's "Divina Commedia" Printed on
Only Two Sheets of Book Paper.
The smallest book printed since type
were invented land, of course, they
printed very few before that time), is
microscopic edition of Dante's ''Di-
vina Commedia." The whole volume,
five hundred pages, Is only five cent?
meters wide. Two sheets of common
book paper sufficed to contain all the
fourteen thousand three hundred and
twenty-three verses of the poem, thirty
verses occupying a space of less than
three square inches. The type were
cast as long ago as 1882, but up to
quite recently no complete book had
been printed with them, the difficulties
to be overcome by both compositors
and revisers being SO great that the
task when undertaken was always
given up. In 1878 al attempt was
made to set up the Com in this
microscopic type and some idea of the
task may be CLEANED from. the fact that
it took over five years to complete the
work. The next is that of Fraticelli;
the proof reader, Luigi Busato; the
compositor, Giuseppe Geche. A writer
in Allgemeine Zeitung, from whose
article this notice is compiled, says
that he is utterly at a loss to know
how the corrections were made, even
with the best magnifying glasses at

HE FOUND A HAWKS EGG.

And Band of Apaches Found Him a,
the Same Time.
A birds'-nesting adventure that came
near ending in a tragedy is described
by Capt. Bendire in a monograph on
the birds of North America, issued by
the Smithsonian institution and the
national museum jointly.
The captain was riding along the
banks of Rilitto creek, A. T., one fine
day in the year 1872, when he saw a
big black hawk. He followed the
bird, and at distance of about
five miles from camp he found it
perched on dead limb of a
tail cottonwood tree. On nearing the
tree he discovered bulky nest placed
in n fork close to the main trunk and
about forty feet from the ground. The
mate of the hawk which he had been
following was sitting on the nest
With the intention of robbery the
captain climbed up to the nest, in which
he found single pale-blue egg, the
parent birds meanwhile circling around
and manifcsting their anger by shrill
screams. He put the egg, which was
as big as hens egg, into his mouth,
and was about to descend when he
caught sight from his elevated perch OF
several Apache Indians crouched down
in little canyon about eighty yards
distant. They were evidently watch.
ing him.
Itwas case where the only chance
of safety lay in presence of mind.
Without exhibiting any signs of having
made the alarming discovery the cap
tain proceeded to descend in as leisure
ly manner as possible, still retaining
| the egg in his mouth. If he had man
ifested symptoms of being in a hurry,
the Indians would have perceived that
they were spied, and they would have
been waiting for the egg-hunter at the
foot of the tree before he could get
down. In that case death by torture
of fiendish ingenuity would doubtless
have been his fate. AS it was. he
reached the ground in safety, mounted
his horse and started for camp.
In an instant tile A.paches were after
him, and they chased him nearly to the
camp before abandoning the pursuit

the egg in his mouth. twas unbroken.
Owing to its large size the captain had

mouth without injuring it, but he final
