The Water Bite.

He was six years old and had never
gazed into the mystic lens of a mi

Wllmaicula had been displayed to his
~astonished vision. He was too amazed
to make any comment until he came
to one slide that seemed more wrigSly
than any of the others. 1t was merely
drop of water.
The little fellow gazed at it long
time, with all its pimble particles of
animal life. and finally exclaimed to
his mother:
"Oh, mamma, now | know what 1t is
