The character of the speech Is well j
Illustrated by one paragraph in which

That’s what Secretary J. Logan,
of the Associated Charities, remarked
Tuesday, and he said so because ho
found It was true.
There were two of them and when
they entered his 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 Secretory
fsogun thought they were phllurtthrop-
Istx looking for a place to throw some

them both chairs and epnred to dl.«-

Both were broke and wanted to get
to New Orleans. They saief they were

Secretary Logan thought they had been
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 whethf or
not any races were going on In * \v
Orleans. They denied all thin and said
they didn’t know the difference be
tween a Brooklyn handicap winner and
a selling plater.
But as they were willing to v.ork In

. ° n Am II 23, 1655. Mr. Far rants read
th** Microscopical Society of
i<oik]i»n u full account of a machine
gnstnirtwl by N. Peters, a London
wnktr. with this machine the Invent-
or had written tho Lord's Prayer (In

the writing-loss 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 slse, might he placed twen
ty-two times on the surface* of a square
inch. The grounds for this startling
assertion are as follows:
“The Bible and Testument together,
in the English language, are said to
contain 3.566,4X0 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 same 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, 111 writ
ing of the same size, would be con
tained by one square Inch, but ns ono
three hundred and nfty-slx-thousandth
of an Inch Is 1-22 part of 1-16,922 of
an inch, it follows that the Bible and
Testament, in writing of that size,
would occupy less space than 1-22 of
u 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 the machine, while possessing
the utmost* delkaey of freedom, are
absolutely destitute of shake, a union
of requisites very dillieult of fultlllment,
but quite indispensable to the satlsfac.
tory performance of the apparatus.
