t rora tlie earliest ume oown to the
present day, many examples of minute j
mechanism have appeared, interesting
from the patient ingenuity displayed i
in tlit'ir production. We propose to
give our readers an account of one or
two of the most curious of these tiny
pieces of handicraft. In the year
Mark Scaliot, a blacksmith of London,
made "for exhibition and trial of skill
on hvk of iron, .steel and brass of
eleven several pieces and a pipe key,
all clean wrought, which weighed but
one grain of gold.' He also made .1
chain of gold of forty-three links, to
which he fastened the above named
articles, and put them round the neck
of a flea, the insect thus becoming
harnessed. As the chain, lock ami
key wefjr'iied but one grain and a half,
tfie Ilea drew them with ease ; a proof
that if the locksmith's hands were
large and sinewy, they must have
had the delicate touch of a watch
maker's. A beautiful piece of mechanism eon
f true ted by M. Camus probably stood
out prominently in the collection of
Louis the Great's childhood. Descri
bed by the inventor: "It eonsisteil ofj
a coach drawn by two horses, in j
winch was the hgtiie ol a lady with a
footman and page behind. This
coach being placed at the extremity of
a table of a determinate size, the
coachman cracked his whip, and the
horses immediately set out, moving
their legs in a natural manner. When
the carriage reached the edge of the
table, it turned on a riyht analc and
pftweeded along the edge. When it
arrived opposite to the place where
the king was seated, ii stopped ; and
the page getting flown, opened the
door, upon which the lady alighted,
having in her l and a petition, which
bhe presented with a curtsey. After
wttiting some fimc, she again curtsied
and re-entered the carriage ; the paire
then resumed his place ; the coachman
whipped his horses, which legun to
move; and the footman, running after
the etiniage, jumped up behind, and it j
drove on." I
The following are from f. list of,
"miracles of art" exhibited in London j
in the vearl45: "The little furni- j
ture of a draw iug-roon, consisting ofj
a dining table, with two figures seated I
as if at dinner; footman waiting; ai
curd table which opens with drawer in :
it,; frame and casters; looking-glass ; I
two lozen of dishes; twenty dozen of,
plates; thirty dozen of spoons, and
twelve skeleton-back chairs with claw
feet. All the above particulars are
contained in a cherry stone. A landau
which opens and shuts by springs,
hanging on braces, with four persons
kitting therein. A crane neck carriage,
the wheels turninsr on their axles : a
Coachman's box, etc., of ivory ; togeth
er with six horses and their furniture;
a coachman on the box, a dog between
his legs, the reins in one hand and
whip in the other ; tho footman behind,
and postilions on tLe leading horses in
their proper liveries all so minute as
to 'oe drawn by n flea ; which performs
all the offices of a large chaise, as run
ning of the wheeU, locking, etc., weigh
ing but one grain. A flea, chained by
a chain of two hundred links, with a
padlock and key, weighing but one
third of a grain. And a pair of steel
HcU-iOrs so minute that six pair may
lie wrapped tip in the wings of a fly;
the said scissors cut a large horse
hair." The Plymouth Gazelle of 182S con
tained ,n account of a miniature can
non, which is thns desciibed : It is
complete in all respects, having a bore
and a touch-hole ; the g
run is mule of
steel, the carriage of
cohi ami the
wheels of silver : and the whole weiirhs
only the twenty -ninth part ofa grain.
The workmanship is very beautiful,
but cannot be distinguished except
through a powerful magnifying glass ;
the size of this warlike engine being
only that of a common pin's head
That surely w as a curiosity that might
have made Mr. Sam Weller's lortune,
had he taken out a patent for his
"double million magnifying gas uiicro
ficees if extra power."
There have leen some curious toys
in w hich fleas have Wen the performers.
In IS2U a man exhibited in London
two fleas, one drawing a kind of car,
and the other a lock and chain, with
the greatest ease. In Nottingham,
also in the same year, there were two
fleas shown which had gold chains
placed round their necks, 'Jie very
Lord Mayor of fleas. One of them
drew a carved cherry-stone, and the
other a silver cannon. We should also
mention the case of a flea at Augs
burgh that drew a chain of steel made
with links so fine that "though it be
nearly a span long the flea will lift it
up when lie leaps." A London rep
resentative of the bharp fialeinity
drew a four-wheel carriage on springs,
with four x-rsons inside, thecoachman
on the box, and a footmin behind, "all '
pnicr," as the language of heraldry j
hath it; another Ilea is recorded to
have givr n some evidence of civiliza
tion by working the bucket of a well:

Capital Punishment ry Drown
ing. Drowning, as a mode of capital
punishment, has only lately ceased in
Europe, and is probably still in use in
some other quarters of the world.
Tacitus, writing; about the end of the
first century, tells us that the Germans
hanged their greater criminals, but
that meaner and more infamous offen
ders were plunged under hurdle into
bogs and tens. 15y the ancient Uur
gundians, a faithless wife was to lie
smothered in mud. The Anglo-Saxon
codes ordered women convicted of
theft to be drowned. The punishment
was in such common use throughout
the middle ages, that grants of capital
jurisdiction ran "c um bx.?a et urea,"
i. e., "with pit and gallows." The
pit, ditch, or well, was for drowning
women : tint the punishment was oc
casionally inflicted on men. The
doom of "the parricide was to be put
into a sack and cast into the sea. A
cannon of Prague, afterwards enrolled
in the catalogue of saints, was drown
ed in 13S3, for refusiug to reveal the
secrets of the confessional. Tn this
instance, perhaps, drowning was allow
ed to the offender as a matter of favor.
So in Scotland, in 1550, a man con
victed of theft and sacrilege, was sen
tenced to be drowned, "by the queen's
special grace." So lately as lfill, a
man was drowned at Edinburon for
stealing a lamb. Mr that time, the
punishment of drowning had become
obsolete in England. Jt survived in
cotland until IfiSo. The last execu
tion by drowning in Switzerland was
in 1P.52, in Austria in 177'), in Iceland
in 1777. It was abolished in Russia
early in the 13th century. In Saxony,
a woman convicted of child minder
was sewn up in a sack, along with a
cat, a dog, and a snake, and thus
drowned, in 1734.
A remakkarlb delicate test for
gold has been discovered by M. Kern.
The gold is first separated from for
eign metals, and next converted by
means ol souium chloride into sod la
gold chloride, and the solution is then
concentrated by evaporation. In or
der to detect gold, an aqueous solution
ol pot ass urn sulpho-eyanide is used,
containing for one part of the salts
about fifteen to twenty pails of water.
About ninety-two grains of this solu
tion are poured into a test tube, and
some drops of the concentrated solu
tion, obtained by treating the sample
as above indicated, are added. . 1 1 gold
is present, a red orange turbidity is
the immediate result, which soon falls
in the form of a precipitate ; on gently
heating the contents of the test tube,
the precipitate dissolves and the solu
tion turas colorless The reagent is so
delicate, that one drop of a solution
of sodiogold chloiiile fifteen grains of
the gold dissolved in six hundred
grains of water give a very clear re
action. This reaction shows the ex
istence of very interesting double sul
phocyanides of gold, and, by means
of it, even less than one fittceu-lhou-and
lh of a grain of gold may be easily
detected.
Ancestry of the Pen. The earli
est mode of writing was on bricks,
tiles, oyster shells, stones, ivory, baik
and leaves of trees, and from the latter
the term "leaves of a book" is probablj
derived. Copper and brass plates
were very early in use, and a bill of
ieoiiineni, on copper was some years
since discovered in India, bearing date
one hundred years IJ. C.
Leather was al-o used, as well as
wooden tablets. Then the papyrus
came into vogue, and, about the
eighth century, the papyrus wss super
seded by parchment. Puper. however,
is of great antiquity, especially among
the Chinese; but the first paper mill
in England was built in 158(5 by a
(icrman, at Dartford, in Kent.
Nevertheless, it was nearly a century
and a half namely in 1713 before
Thomas Watkins, a stationer, brought
paper-making to anything like perfec
tion. The first approach to a pen was the'
stylus, a kind of iron bodkin , but the
Romans forbade its use on account of
its frequent and even fatal use in quar
rels, and then it was made of bone.
Subsequently reeds, pointed and split,
like pens of the present day, were
used.
A Rudimentary Tail Found on a
Human- Child. A physician, witting to
Nature from the Island of Jersey, says :
"A day or two apo I was examining the
back of a child, atjed about eight, wlien I
saw over the lower part of the sacrum, in
the middle line of the back, a small hole
that, on tho first clance, seemed like the
opening of an old sinus. I was told, how
ever, that it had been present since birth,
and I llcti looked at it more carefully. It
had a direction downwards and somewhat
forwards, aud consisted of a reflection of
the skin cnterinf; a more or less circular
depiession, about a quarter of an inch in
diameter and about a quarter of an inch
dee p. Not quite a quarter of an inch below
its lower border could be felt tho pointed
extremity of thn coccjt, which, instead of
having its nsual form, curved backwards
and rather upwards. On stretching the
skin downwards, that portion of it entering
the depression or hole was raised, coming
out like the top part of the finger of a
glove which bad been pressed down into
the lower part, and a small prominence,
about the height of the diameter of a pea
stood up from the surface ; and this little
sheath was found to cover and exactly fit
the sharp end of the coccyx. 'Che resem
blance this bore to a rudimeutary tail was
sufficiently striking."
-The United PrenhyUrinn remaiks: "It
is time people were making up their minds
as to bow they will vote. This is a Chris
tian duty. No man has a right to neglect
it. We do not exaggerate when we say
that the present is a great crisis in our
history. Finance, civil service, citizen
ship these are all important questions to
le debated and determined at the ballot,
and there is the croater one of fidnlitv tn
j the momentous interests involved in our
j constitutional attitude upon the supremo
principles of liberty and. human rights. It
: is inexcusable indifference which slights
J these weighty consideration.''
