The Smallest Painting in the World.
Thb smallest painting in the world is the work of a Flemish artist, and is painted upon the smooth side of a grain of corn. If you examine it with a strong magnifying glass you can easily gee a miller, a mill, and surrounding trees, all drawn with perfeot accuracy.
More wonderful even than this are the pictures in mosaic oon* •tructed from the scales found on the winga of butterflies, and «o email that the picture can hardly be seen with the naked eye. How limitless must have been the patience, as well as the skill of the artist !
