TL'RRDAr. DECEMBER 11, I9G6.

In' a carefully prepared speech of “ , 30 000 word* the senator mar- “n-Vi the vdrtou* arguments against umoot’s eligibility to represent Utah in fj" upper l’OU«e of congre**, charging at the oaths he took as an ofilclal '/ the Mormon church were lncom- Mtlble with that which he took upon •n ering the senate, and that he hns n,o countenanced the practice of po- ljf*tnj^t Uek on j 0Mp h Smith. The character of the speech Is well Illustrate'! by one paragraph In which Senator Burrows referred to the evi dence given before the committee by Joseph I. Smith, president of the church, to the afreet that Smith Is continuing hl s polygamous relations y’th flve plural wives, and that he had 42 children. Sahl Mr. Burrows: "If the public press is to be credited, this number has been augmented dur ing the last year to 4J. and while we are discussing the right of the repre sentative of the hierarchy to a seat In this body, we can Imagine Its salrtiy head sitting In the home of hls fifth plural Wife, rocking the cradle of the latest illegitimate offspring of hls debauchery and crime and with sanc timonious air singing the familiar hymn of hls church: " ‘Now the gentile reign Is o’er, liarkness covers earth ro more; Gentile tyrants sink to hell.

Sometime* you are likely to get disappointed." That’s what Secretary J. £. Logan, of the Associated Charities, remarked Tuesday, and ho said so because he found ft was true. There were two of them and when they entered hls office he felt happy. They were dressed In the latest fashion with fancy vests and elaborate ties. They had every appearance of wealth and prosperity. When they first entered Secrctury Logan thought they were philanthrop ies looking for a place to throw some of their surplus wealth, lie offered them both chairs and — opared to tils- 1 cuss the problem of poverty with them and receive their views. And he did. But In a different man ner than he expected would be the case. Both were broke nnd wanted tj> get to New Orleans. They said they were waiters and found white waiters had a tough time getting jobs in the South. Hecreutry Lognn thought they bad beep following the ponies and had gone broke trying to break the bookies. He told them so and they smiled. They smiled again when he asked whetlu* or not any races were going on In i.- w Orleans. They denied all this, and said they didn't know the difference be tween a Brooklyn handicap wlnnei and a selling plater. / Hut as they were willing to work In Atlanta until they got the price of a ticket ti> New Orleans. Secretary Lo gan got them a meal and a bed nnd will find them jobs Tuesday. MACHINE THA T ACHIEVES MICROSCOPIC MARVELS Picture from a recent .photo of Baroness de Forest, also known as Mint.

From Pilin’* “Seven Follies of Science." English square Inch. The tneasure- Mlnute works of art have always ex «■-ited the curiosity and commanded the admiration of, the average man. Con sequently, Cicero thought It worth while to record that the entire Iliad of Homer had been written upon parch ment In characters so fine that the copy could be Inclosed in a nutshell. This lias always been regarded as a mar velous feat. There is in the French cabinet of medal* a seal said to havo belonged to Michael Angelo, the fabrication of *hlch must date from a very remote •poeb. and upon which fifteen figures nave been engraved in a circular space of fourteen millimeters (.55 inch) In diameter. These figures cannot be dis tinguished by the naked The Ten Commandments have been entraved in characters so fine Jhat x tney could be stamped upon one side of a nickel 5-cent piece, and on several occasions the Lord's Prayer has been •ntraved on one side of a gold dollar, tn« diameter of which Is six-tenths of »n Inch. I have also seen it written vith a pen within a circle which meas- ured four-tenths of an Inch In dlatnc ter. On April 25, 1855, Mr. Farrants read wore the Microscopical Society of i*ondon ;i full account of a machine constructed by N. Peters, a London wnker. with this machine the Invent or hail written the Lord’s Prayer (In ordinary writing character, with out abbreviation or contraction of any J ,n< V in a space not exceeding one Jundrcd and fifty thousandth of n Jjuaro inch. Seven years later Mr. currants, as president of the Micro* •coplcal Society, described further Im provements In the machine of Mr. Pe- ment an<i ma<5e the •‘following state- *7 he Lor *l's Prager has been written •no may be read In the one-three hun- ar d and fifty-six thousandth of an merits of one of these specimen verified by Dr. Bowerbank, with a dlf fercnce of not more than one five-mil lionth of an Inch, and that difference, small as It I*, arose from hls not In cluding the prolongation of the letter T In the sentence 'deliver us from evil;' ho lie made the area occupied by the writing less than that stated above." Some Idea of the minuteness of the characters In these specimens may be obtained from the statement that the whole Bible and Testament, In writing of the same size, might be placed twen ty-two times on the surface of a square Inch. The grounds for this startling assertion are as follows: 'The Bible and Testament together. In the English language, are said to contain 3,566,480 letters. The number of letters in the Lord’s Prayer, as writ ten, ending In the sentence 'deliver us from evil,’ Is 223, whence, as 3,566,480 divided by 223 Is equal to 15.922. It appears that the Bible and Testament together contain the sumo number of letters as the Lord’s Prayer, written 16,000 times; If, then, the prayer were written In one sixteen-thousandth of an Inch, the Bible and Testament, In wilt ing of the same size, would he con tained by one square inch, hut as one three hundred and fifty-six-thousandth of an Inch is 1-22 part of 1-15,922 of an inch. It follows that tho Bible and Testament, In writing of that size, would occupy less space than 1-22 of a square Inch." And yet, minute as are the letters written by this machine, they are char acterized by a clearness and precision of form which proves that the moving parts of tho machine, while possessing the utmost delicacy of freedom, are absolutely destitute of shake, a union of requisites very difficult of fulfillment, but quite Indispensable to the saflsfac. lory performance of the apparatus.
