LANDSCAPE ON A GRAIN OF CORN

\ Flemish artist has produced what
Is said to be the smallest painting In
the world II is a picture Of a miller
mounting the stairs of his mill and
carrying a sack of grain on his back.
The mill Is depicted as standing near a
terrace. Close at hand are a horse and
cart, with few groups of peasants
idllng I'm the road nearby. All this Is
painted on the smooth side of grain

TO examine It under microscope, and
II is drawn with perfect accuracy. It

hands Of the enemy than they will the
peril Of unsafe weapons In their own
hands, The danger Of explosion is
great, even with all the precautions
taken TO avoid it, The heating of the
gun by constant firing may cause this,
or a ball may become lodged, In the
latter case the result Is usually to blow
off the muz2le, which is outside the
ship and has no more serious conse-
quences than to put the gun out of ac-
tion. In firing II Is necessary to have
the breech closed, which is,usually done
by automatic arrangement, safety APP
plianCe being provided that makes II
impossible for the charge to ignite so
long as the breech remains open.
