Marvellous Feats of Microscopic
PenmanshIp.

AS microscopic caligraphist y
the designation is bis own-M. j. So
fer, a Frenchman. challenges the world
to rival him in marvellous feats Of PEN
manship.
1t is asserted that Sofer can inscribe
the whole of the British national an
them along the thin edge of an ordlna-
~ visiting card, and has written the
biographies of King Edward upon a
grain of wheat.
Perhaps more wonderful still are the
portraits of celebrities which M. Sofer
produces out of their biographies. His
picture of the czar, for instance. ls not
only a clever likeness, but every
stroke of it is part of continuous life
of the Russian emperor in letters SO
minute that to the unaided eye they
seem part of all ordinary pen line.
AT present the artist is making a
SIMILAR picture of the king of England.
1t, will be made up of his biography and
will, the artist states, contain A, 600
letters.
This art of minute penmanshlp has
long exercised its fascination.
At the British museum is an excel
ent likeness of Queen Anne, little lar
ger than half a sheet of note paper,
every delicate line of which is made up
of words and sentences, the entirenar-
rative being sufficient to fill small
volume while at ST. John g College,
Oxford, is a head of King Charles l.,
which, to all appearances delicate
engraving, is similarly composed.
With the help of microscope one
can read in the lines of the face and
the ruff the whole of the Psalms, the
Lords Prayer and the Creed.
In Cicero's time, about 1000 years
ago, the whole of Homer's Had was
copied so microscopically that 1t was
placed IN nutshell, Pedotti, a four.
teenth century Italian, wrote poem
of over 100 lines on space no larger
than his little finger nail, and made an
elaborate landscape sketch, including
d shepherd and drove of sheep, which
a grain of corn completely covered.
Some centuries ago Peter Bales, an
English chancery clerk, it Is stated in |
historical papers, transcribed the whole |
of the Bible in such small compass that |
be was able to inclose it in a walnut. |
Another Englishman, of the seven
teenth century, Henry Mason, COPIED |
the whole of PARADISE Lost" and in

the output was materially reduced in
practically every State.
TIE four States showing the greate.t
increase in production during the past
year, in the order of their rank, were
Pennsylvania, West West Virginia,

older producing States show slight
decrease, due to the interruption by
the car shortage referred to. The ia.
