I am thirteen years old, and live in Lebanon. There is a small
creek running near our house, and there I go to procure subjects
for my microscope. I do a great deal of experimenting in
philosophy. I examined a specimen of larvæ of a dragon-fly, so my
teacher said. But it don't look a bit like larvæ. It was about half
an inch long, and the size (in thickness) of a cambric needle.
Under a microscope it presents an appearance I could not describe.
I would like to send it to the President of the Natural History
Society, but it must be kept in water, and so could not be easily
sent.
I like YOUNG PEOPLE very much, particularly "Tim and Tip." I don't
think Tip was so much of a bear-dog, after all.
