Specimens of Writing Preserved in a Washington Museum. From Cassiar's Mnuayfna

lfrOn CaSSlefS MagaZine.l
 Among the collection of microscopic objects in the United States army med ical museum at Washington is a speci- men of microscopic writing on glass which contains the Lords prayer, writ ten in characters so small that the en- tire 227 letters of that petition are en- gfaved within an area measuring 1-294th by 1-441 of an inch So far this statement does not trouble us. If, however, we go little further we easi- ly find that the area having the above dimensions would be only the 1-129,- 654th of square inch%and consequent ly that an inch square covered with writing of the same size, or counting 227 letters to each such fractions, would contain 29,431, 45S letters.
 Let us put this figure into a con- crete form by seeing how much of | a book this number of letters would represent. The Bible is book of which we may safely assume that every one has an approx innate idea as regards its general size and extent. Some one has actually de- | termined the number of letters con- tained in the entire Old and New Tes- 1 taments, and finds this to be 3,566, 4S0 | Hence the number of letters which a square inch of glass would accommo- date, written out like the text of the Lords prayer on this strip of glass, is
 more than eight times this last mum | ber or in other words, a square inch of | glass would accommodate the entire 1 text of the Bible eight ytimes over writ | ten out as is the Lords prayer on this strip of glass. I am free to confess | that though this fact has been known l to me since 1873 and have had in my | possession photographs taken with the microscope of this writing, I cannot say that I fully apprehend or mentally grasp the fact just stated. I can form | no mental picture of a square inch of glass with the entire text of eight Bi-
 bles engraved upon it, and yet, when I have verified the measurements and calculations leading up to this conclu-
 sion I feel absolutely certain as to it's l truth, not as the result of intuition, but as a deduction from experience, which
 has not yet developed into an intuitive | consciousness.

program which had been arranged and carried out there by a committee of fifteen of the most prominent Wood mont cottagers. He described the care with which this committee had gone to work and the effectiveness with which their plans had been carried out. Each successive number on the program, from week to week, has been well ad- yertised. and the whole scheme had been formulated in handsome program of which large number was printed and circulated,
 In contrast with this he said that he | had difficulty one week In finding out who had been secured to preach in the Woodmont chapel, and that most of | the work of arranging meetings and supplying the pulpit had been Left to one man, with very little help from others. There was no organized effort to arous> Interest and give wide notice of the meetings. While he thought that careful planning for legitimate amusement was desirable and even necessary, he hoped the Walnut Beach people would be enabled to escape such criticism as he, a resident of Woodmont, made upon that place, by seeing that the meetings at the chapel were as carefully arranged and as widely advertised as any of the matters of less concern within that little com munity.
 Judge Colwell also made an address, dealing briefly with the history of the enterprise, stating it's financial condi- ton and making mention of those who were instrumental in providing the funds and equipments. He also an- nounced at the end of the meeting that the days collection considerably ex- ceeded $10O, a sum almost sufficient to wipe out the small remaining indebted ness of the edifice and it's furnishings.

4 PRACTICAL sUGGEsrIoN.


 Dr. Anderson Contrasts Different Adver-
 Beach's Instruction.
 Waterbury, Aug 26-The dedication of the little chapel at Walnut Beach yesterday was a very successful affair, for which some of the credit must be given to the good weather. The rest is due to the interest shown by the com munity, which seems to have extended all through the town of Milford. of which Walnut Beach is now becoming so important a part.
 The chapel seats less than 300 people, but there must have been fully 800 crowded into it or standing around outside within hearing distance of the windows. The exercises were in charge of Rev. Dr. Burroughs, president of the Wabash college, Indiana, and there were add1 esses by Rev. Dr. Pullman of Bridgeport, MT. Hutchinson, rector of St. Peters church, Milford; MT. Morse, pastor of the Milford Congrega- tional church, and Rev. Dr. Anderson of this city.
 The Waterbury American remarks: All the remarks were especially good, but pr. Anderson gave his local and practical twist, which ought to be effective in guiding Walnut Beach peo- pie in the management of their religious | concerns. Referring to Walnut Beach's nearest neighbor, Woodmont, he de- scribed the elaborate entertainment

CAUGHT IN 4 LIE.
An Italian Has Another Arrested on False
 Charge-Ts Arrested Himself.


 Donati Lombardi will face Judge Dow in the city court to-day and answer to the charge of perjury. He was arrested in the city court yesterday morning and Vincenzo Kakle, an organ grinder, whom Lombardi tried to bulldoze and rob was released.
 Saturday night Lombardi and Kakle engaged in a game of cards in a lodg- ing house at 19 Union street, and played through the night until Sunday morn ing. Kakqe displayed quite a sum of money during the play. After he had left in the morning Lombardi com plained to Officer H. J. Donnelly that Kakle had stolen $1O0 from him.
 Officer Donnelly found Kakle while the latter was carrying his organ and monkey, and as Lombardi insisted that he has the man who had stolen his money Kakle was arrested. He begged not to be separated from his monkey, and was permitted to keep it with him in the lookup.
 I'm court yesterday morning Lom- bardi testified that sS9 was the amount stolen from him. Later it developed that Lombardi had insisted that s100 had been stolen from him. As $S9 was all that was found on Kakle Lombardi claimed that sS9 was the amount he lost tf a
 When Lombardi was asked to explain how it was that he claimed to have lost $1O0 and then changed the sum to $S9 when he found that was the amount found on Kakle, he said that he spent the difference in buying clothes. He could not tell of whom he bought the clothes, and when pressed to explain where the man was he broke down and admitted that he had lied about the money. Judge Dow discharged Kakle, who left the court room with his mon key and in a jolly frame of mind. Lom- bardi started to slink away, but was put under arrest and locked up.

 AT OLD ORCHARD.
 Old Orchard, Aug. 26.--Thousands of gaily plumed Knights Templar and their families lined the beach for miles to-day. In all seventy-nine carloads of delegates arrived to-day on their way to Boston.
 MAGNIFICENT BANNER.
 At the great parade to-day St, Johns Commandery No. of Phila- adelphia will probably carry the finest banner in the procession.
 The design of this banner is unique, differing very materially from the conventional style of banners usually adopted for this purpose. The general outline suggests a shield in form, thir- | ty-six by fifty-four inches, of the finest white Qoult de Soi silk, made especial | ly for this class of work, surrounded | by band of royal purple silk velvet three inches in width, edged on the | inside with ne-quarter-inch gold cable cord. The front represents design of scroll work in relief, with all the edges in gold colored silk embroidery, with all spaces cut out and interwoven with silk in very fine meshes. | Across the center of the front is an oblong panel with scroll ends, edged with a line of silk embroidery. In this | panel is a finely executed picture in natural colored silk embroidery repre- senting the baptism of Christ in the river Jordan by St. John the Baptist. Over the center of the central figures | is white dove, significant of the Holy | Spirit descending.
 The back of the banner shows the same general design as the front. On | the ribbons above and below the panel ! is the inscription in German text: | Constituted June 10 1895. Presented | by the Ladies' Banner association Aug | ust 20 1S95.' The central panel bears the inscription in ornamental embroid- cred letters "St John's Commandery No. 4, Knights Templar, Stationed at Philadelphia" the No. being promi- nent and surrounded by crown of l thorns, embroidered in natural colored | chenille,
 The edge of the banner all around is trimmed with an original and hand some design of fringe, composed oi gold cord and forms covered with g
 netting of gold thread, purple silk and pendants of white angora; sus- pended from the projecting ends of the center panels are very handsomely de, signed ornamental pendants, covered
 solidly with gold thread hung from
 gold wire cord
 The banner is suspended from al e1aborately battered polished cherry stretcher bar, with fancy gold-platet metal ornaments specially wrought il original designs. The manner of sus pending the banner from the bar i' | entirely new and original, being don,
 with gold cord in intricate design.

PoL1oE AND FIRE WIRES.
Putting the Wires Underground.

The work of putting underground the wires of the police and fire departments is progressing rapidly. MT. James Grant, Superintendent Smiths able as- sistant,l is working steadily and syste- matieally, and as a result more than half the wires are now out of sight The work would be pushed much more rapidly, but the appropriation is linn ited. However, with the facilities which he has at his disposal, MT. Grants progress is extremely satisfactory. Al the wires in the center of the city, or Whitney avenue to the city line, or Chapel street as far west as Morton street, as far east as East street, have been placed underground.

BoULEYARD sEWER DAMAGED.
Several Fissures Caused by Heavy Pressure
 of Sewage,


 of Sewage.
 Although the thinnest part of that section of the Boulevard sewer, between Columbus avenue and Oak street is twelve inches thick, the pressure on it caused by the heavy rain of week ago was great enough to burst it in several places The damage can be re- paired in few days and the public works department will do so immediate ly.
 Heretofore the big sewer has been able to carry off all drainage it re ceived; but new sewers have been connected with it from time to time, and not long ago the Oak street sewer and the town farm sewer were added to it,
 The damage is in several places, and the entire breakage will perhaps az gregate 200 feet in length. This sec ton is 66 inches in diameter. and par tial1y above ground. Employes of the sewer department are now engaged in making repairs.
 The plans for the sewer call for three or four overfiows, but none have been built.
 One at least could have been con- structed at this point for the money which it will now take to repair it. Had an. overflow been made at or near this point the damage would not have been done. The repairs will cost sev- eral thousand dollars.
 An overflow will probably be built soon at Congress avenue to empty into the West river. This will make it about 45O feet in length. Through this overflow sewage would probably only flow few times year, but those would be times when the pressure otherwise would be great enough tc cause damage.

She was not strong enough to nurse at the breast and for one week was fed from a spoon, upon Sterilized milk. My husband, Dr. $. A. Clark, is graduate from Harvard Medical School At. the end of the first week we put little Millicent upon the bottle, and as sterilized milk in various strengths did not agree with her, we tried - milk until she was one month old. Then she refused to take any more of this food, and her weight had not increased at all so We changed food again. We tried cows milk, con- densed milk, and four or five food prep arations, but nothing agreed with her as lactated food and we went back to that after Zach new trial. At two months old she had doubled her weight upon .1actated food Being an eight months baby she has always been very delicate, and she is still feeding upon your food and thrives upon it. Milli- cent was born August .25, 1893, and now is nearly 15 months old, and weighs about 20 pounds and is very plump

Hallway Stocks Sold at the Best Figures for
 a Long Time Past.

Long Time Past.
 New York, Aug. 26.-The railway stock cut away from the industrials to-day and a number of the former sold at the best figures for a long time past. This is particularly true of the grangers, which were in demand from start to finish and closed considerably higher than on Saturday, notwithstand- ing rather heavy sales of St. Paul for London account. The foreign liquida- tions were fully appreciated by a long outstanding short interest, which had given orders to cover at the opening. It is understood that London sold ten thousand shares of the stock. The fa- vorabIe crop reports and the reduction in sterling exchange more than offset the foreign realizatians, however, and prices for the railways moved up stead fly throughout the day.
