I know little about The Penny Magazine but it clearly represents a cheap, presumably weekly, publication dedicated to that great Victorian aim of &quot;self improvement&quot;. This issue comprises eight pages with items as varied as &quot;Essays on the lives of Remarkable Painters No.XXXI: Andrea del Sarto&quot;, &quot;The English and Irish Ordnance Surveys&quot; and &quot;The Hareem of Ibrahim Pasha&quot;. I have abridged the item on Centipedes and Millipedes from the original three pages. &quot;The Rabbit and the Centipede&quot; comes from a children&#39;s book of 1907. I am not sure that it sheds any particular new light on myriapod locomotory mechanisms.</p>
