Description:

"A breaker of water is collected from a stream and one drop of this little world is placed under a microscope. Looking for a particular micro-organism is like searching for a person in a large city, yet these little animals seem to be unlimited. In this micro world there are many forms of existence, these may resemble bugs or flowers. Gene Arneson has done more than merely to photograph these tiny creatures. He narrates the story to tell us about some of the unusual activities, their methods of propulsion, and to describe a fight in this drop of water. He gives us the feeling of having seen a scenario type of picture" PSA Journal, Nov. 1957, 33.
