Microscopic MarVeIs Worked Out by
Eccentric Men.
Human patience has been subjected to re-
markable tests by eccentric men who have
set themselves tasks more ingenious than
useful One of these who prided himself
upon the smallness of his writing sent the
president of the French academy grain OF
wheat on which he had written two hun
dred and twenty-one words. A Polish poet
OF the seventeenth century wrote all Of
Homer's Had on a piece of paper which
could be rolled up small enough to go into
nutshell. In the sixteenth century
man named Mark offered to Queen Eliza
beth a gold chain of fifty links. The chain
was so fine that it could not be seen unless
it was put on a sheet of white paper To
prove its lightness Mark tied it TO a fly,
which flew with it, The most curious fact
in this matter. which required extra
ordinary a facility of touch for making this
microscopcal ornament, was that Mark was
blacksmith accustomed to handle all kinds
OF heavy tools all day long, A Spaniard of
this same century. Joseph Faba, made a
carriage as large as a grain OF wheat. Under
q magnifying glass it was possible to see
the interior fitted up with seats, every de-
tail being carried out to perfection. The
Jesuit Ferrarius made a cannon of ivory,
with all its accessories, but it held only one
grain of powder. But the most marvellous
feat OF all was that Of the Swede NORM
gerus. He made a dozen plates out Of
ivory, each one holding a single grain Of
powder. These he presented TO Pope Paul

The increasing interest which is evinced in
the adventures of StallSy, McTurk and Beetle
will nrobably not be lessened by knowl-
edge that the three juvenile heroes of KIP

with an unusually large head, crowned by a
thick mass of dark hair, flying down long
corridor with troop of irritated youngsters
at his heels Kipliug had ''checked' them,
SO 1t seemed from their shouts, pastime
in which he fearlessly INDUCED his poignant
tongue to the end of his days at Westward
Ho, and which in reality was proof of the
pluck that lay in a body not at all remark
able for physical strength.
Nothing seems to stand out more clearly
regarding those days of Kipling's boyhood
than the fact that he was thorough boy
full OF humorous pranks played upon
masters as well as his schoofellOws. Stalky,
McTurk and Beetle were in truth. ever in
some escapade, the honest fun of which
must have saved them from many punish

That Kipling was then, however, quick to
perceive the weakness Of human nature is

size of his feet, and concerning which the

SOME LATE INVENTIONS.

Cuffs are easily secured to shirt sleeves
by a new device. consisting OF a number Of
strips of cloth fastened together with eye
lets cut in the ends to engage buttons in the
cuff and wristband.
Trunks are securely tied for shipping by
an improved lashing, having links near each
end of the cover through which ropes are
passed and drawn around the trunk, ending
in straps which can be buckled to draw them
tight.
No screws are needed to attach a new
shade and curtain support, two clamping
members being operated by a lever to grip
the window casing with brackets on the
face of the clamp to carry the curtain and
shade roller
A revolving tooth brush has been pat
ented by West Indian woman, the brush
portion being circular, with the handle
formed of a spirally grooved shaft with an
outer casing, which slides back and forth
to reyolye the brush.
A novel idea in the tea and coffee line
Gently patented consists in placing enough
of the article for one brewing in a small
porous sack and attaching 1T to metal
weight, which sinks to the bottom Of theI
pot when dropped in.
Slipping on icy pavements Is prevented by
handy shoe attachment made of wire,
spring clamps being formed Of shape
similar to the sole of the shoe, with short
prOngS set in the under side to sink into
the ice and afford a secure hold Tor the
foot.
Fish are easily caught by the use OF a
new spring hook, comprising a single piece
OF wire bent to form a spring at the center,
with barbcd hooks at the ends, the lattor
being crossed when the hook Is set aud
spreading apart when taken by the fish.
