SAN DIEGO, CAL., FEBRUARY, 1885. 
That man is certainly the happi- 
est, whois able to find out the great- 
number of reasonable and useful 
amusements, easily attainable 
and within his power; and, if 
so, he that is delighted with the 
works of Nature, and makes them 
his study, must undoubtedly be 
happy; since every animal, flow- 
er, fruit or insect, nay, almost 
every particle of matter affords 
him an entertainment. Such a 
man never can feel his time hang 
heavy in his hands, or be weary 
of himself, for want of knowing 
how to employ his thoughts. Each 
garden or field is to him a cabinet 
of curiosities, every one ef which 
he longs to examine fully; and he 
considers the whole universe as a 
magazine of wonders, which infin- 
ite ages are scarce sufficient to 
contemplate and admire enough. 
—| Henry Baker, in the Micro- 
scope Made Hasy, published at 
London in 1742, and re-published 
in the Journal of the New York 
Microscopical Society, January, 
1885, just received.
