NATURAL HISTORY. 103 



* Oh, Uncle Philip ! these are very pretty; 

 they are all so different, too !" 



" Yes, boys, I picked out different ones to 

 draw : when I was done, I began to look into 

 my books to find out what others had written 

 about this thing- ; and I found that a gentle- 

 man named Dr. Hook had seen more than a 

 hundred different shapes and sizes of these 

 flakes. This is GOD'S work, boys. 



" Now I have brought you out another pic- 

 ture : it is the point of a very small needle, 

 seen through the -very same microscope which 

 showed me the snow-flakes. Just look at it, 

 boys. This is man's work."
