ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This is very strange" said he.
Yes" answered the boy; that's the
way it mostly happens hereabouts.
Professor Grosvolt, after some labor
caught some specimen bugs and put
them under a powerful magnifying
glass. He jumped backward in sur
prise, scarcely daring to believe in his
eyes. Before him, under the glass, his
saw minute human beings, dressed in
queer garments and looking in face and
form like people of the nineteenth cen
tury. They were running around on the
plate and seemed greatly frightened
and distressed.
Investigating, he learned that these
little beings had undermined the wheat
field and built cities, which were Won
ders of architectural beauty. Their
granaries were full of wheat and vari-
Gus farm products, and their only care
seemed to be to gather in all that was
raised by the farmers. They had ap
parently time for the practice of learn
ing quite foreign to the farmers, who
titled the soil and sent in reports as to
their depredations.
The professor studied them for some
time and often lamented their curious
position, and longed to be able to reach
