Gamers and Microscope.

The camera, in conjunction with
the microscope, reveals some remark
able facts. The microbes or germs
Of disease Gan easily have their por-
traits taken, though at low oompu-
tation it would take 800, 900, 900 Of
them to cover a square inch. Seven
complete portraits of persons have
been produced in the space occupied
by the head of an ordinary pin, 80
that 10, 900 could be included in one
inch square. Another great feat in
microphotography, as it is called, is
that of the Lords Prayer inscribed in
q space the size of one one.hundred-
and -fifty-thousandth of a square
inch. The height of each letter was
but n one-ten -thousandth of q lin
cal inch; therefore the space occu
pied by a letter such as u or n, which
is as wide as it is high, was actually
no more than one one. hundred mil

The Rejected Article.

l have often wondered if there
lives a man who a %truthfully say
that the first article that he wrote
his maiden effort-was accepted by
the first editor to whom it was sub
mitted and printed, without modifi-
cation, as written. I am, of course,
referring only to an outside contri-
button and not to an article written
to order. II so, l should like to
meet him, to grasp him by the hand,
and, on behalf of my brother tyros,
ask him how it's done? Proba-

known as the queens private closet.
Most people when they think of
the queens bedroom have visions of
stately grandeur, in which bedsteads
of gold vie for supremacy with jew.
eled carpets, impossible tapestries.
fantastic furniture and other elabo-
rate adornments. In reality, how.
ever, the queens bedroom is surpris.
ing in its plainness.
Both the bedstead and the furni-
,ture are Of the simplest form imagi-
nable. But, though the room is SEEM
ingly so unpretentious, there are in.
Vulnerable articles so costly and dear
to the queen that money could not
possibly buy them. In the first
place, the photographs and pictures
OF the prince consort stand out con-
spiouously on every hand. The room
Is full of them, for none of her mai
esty's possessions appeals so power
fully to her heart as do these. Each
one has its own history, and in the
mind of the queen are hidden un-
Speakable memories in which these
all have their little part and lot.
The queens bedroom, more than
any other room, is, in this sense, her
chief treasure house. For this rea.
son imperative orders have been
given by the queen herself that on
no consideration must her bedroom
and dressing room be shown to the
public eye.
In the top hand corner of the
white drawing room is a secret
spring, faced by a magnificent cabi-
net and surmounted by costly mir
ror. Even a close scrutiny of the
wall would scarcely reveal the fact
of what lies beyond. But the init
ated hand can in a moment effect
q miniature transformation. One

I'VE have no fault to find with
Sarah Bernhardt, for from start to
finish she did the best she could and
put up as pretty a Camille as the
public has een for some time. It is
doubtful if Sarah ism t better than
Camille herself was. She is a high
stopper and improved on the gait
she took at the start at every step
until she passed under the wire in a
way that caused the talent to hold
their breath.

Right here it might be we'll to
caution Bernhardt's starter to adopt

been doing it for years. It was
adopted because it cost less than it

"As for Camille, she and Armand
had considerable trouble, but Bern
hardt acted like i perfect lady and
did much better than any actress
we know could have done under the

"The play might be enlivened con-
