extracted text: A BATTLESHIP on his thumb! Surely he must be Guiliver and the battleship must belong to the small people of his travels. 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 3/4-inch reproduction of the German dreadnought 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.
