THE BIG LITTLE 



WHO WAS THAT OLD KING 



that said that he would liberally reward the inventor of a 

 new form of entertainment? I should like to know, and so, 

 too, would you, Mr. Superintendent, because we both sym- 

 pathize with him. We are tired of Xylophones, Bell Ringers, 

 et id onine genus, and crave something that shall make great- 

 er appeal to our mentality, to our desire to see and to know 

 some of the mysteries of Nature, to something that shall 

 make us think and give us something pleasing to think, 

 about. I have all this ready for you and for your Institute. 

 I call it 



THE BIG LITTLE 



and with it I can give you and the Institute an evening that 

 will delight, entertain and instruct. We will enter a world 

 unknown to the majority of human beings, as an universe of 

 the tiniest things nature magnified greatly and directly by 

 the projection microscope. A fly's tongue will be shown 

 one hundred and fifty feet long, the hairs that ornament it 

 become twenty-six feet in length. Plant cells otherwise in- 

 visible are eight feet in diameter; living animals less than 

 one-half the size of a pinhead become monstrous giants, 

 startling, amazing, the eye alone of the creature thirty feet 

 in diameter, the most marvellous result of optical projection 

 ever shown in public. As an optical exhibition it far excels 

 that of the best moving pictures. In addition it is new ; fur- 

 ther, it is unequalled. It will delight as well as instruct.
