Article Title and/or Image Caption (Dublin Core): It Can Sail on a Raindrop
extracted text (Extract Text): A BATTLE-

SHIP on his

thumb! Surely

he must be Gui-

liver and the

battleship must

belong to the

small people of his trav-

els. No; the thumb is

anyone's thumb, and

looks just as yours would

look if we took a picture

of it. The battleship is a

A{-inch reproduction of

the German dread-
nought Koenig.

In making this small
model each part had
to be reduced about ten
thousand times to keep
it in proportion to the
600-foot original.
