of view the ahark had the better Of it.
The shark would throw himself from

down with such force that the spray
would be thrown 20 feet into the air.
and the back Of the whale would ap-
pear and-the water would be lashed 10

which was supposed for long time to
be the triumph Of hne work in engrav-

has managed to engrave the alpha bet
complete on the head of . common pin.
Mr.. Houseal, who rarely uses a glass in
his work. can read the letters with the
naked eye. and although there are few
persons whose eyesight Is so strong.
a common magnifying glass serves to
make them easily distinguishable.
The letters range from left to right,
and are all capitals.
In the first circle around the edge Of
the head ofthe pin are the letters from
A to N. inclusive. Within this is the
second circle beginning at N and end
ing at z. and directly in the center is
the 4 mark. The diameter of the
pinhead is barely q sixteenth OF an
inch and 1t can be understood how
about one-fourth the size Of the letters
