The story is told in the Springfield _Republican_ that
Andrew Carnegie asked a young man who was about to become
a student at Jena to get for him an autograph of Professor
Haeckel. When it arrived it read thus: “Ernst Haeckel
gratefully acknowledges the receipt from Andrew Carnegie of
a Zumpt microscope for the biological laboratory of the Jena
University.” Mr. Carnegie made good, admiring the scientist more
than ever. (Text.)
