Some of them resemb'ed the rote in full

There were ribbon fish, from four or
FIVE inches to foot and three feet in
length, Their eyes are very large, and
protrude like those of frog. Another
fish was spotted like tho leopard. from
three to ten feet long. They build their
houses like the beaver, in which they
spawn, and the male or female watches

How THE Eye is SWEET AND WASHED
For us to be able to see objects clearly and
distinctly, IL is necessary that the eve
should be kept moist and clean. For
this purpose, il is furnished with little
g and, from which flows watery flood
tears which is spread over the eve bv the
lid, and is afterwards spread off by IL, and
runs through hole in the bone to the
inner surface Of the nose. where the
warm air, passing over it while breathing
evaporates IT, It is remarkable that no
: snch gland can be found in the eyes Of a
fish. as the element in wicli the live ans
swers the same purpose. Ifthe eye had
not been furnished with liquid to wash
it, and lid to sweep it of. things would
appear as they do when we look through
dusty glass. Along the edges of the
eve lid ther are great number OF little
tubes or glands. from which flow an oily
substance which spreads over the surface
, nf the skin, and thus prevents the edges
from becoming sore or irritated, and it al
50 helps to keep the tears within the lid
There are also six little muscles attach
in everv direction and when we consid'
! er the different motions which they are
, capable Of giving TO the eye, we cannot
but admire the goodness Of Him that
formed them, and thus saved US the
, trouble of turning our heads every time
we wish to view an object. Although
the eyes of some animals are incapable oi
motion. IA the fy, the beetle, and several
other insect. yet the Creator has shown
/, his wisdom and goodness in furnishing
, their eyes with little globes, and by plac-
: ing their eyes in front Of their heads sc
, that these little insects can see almost all
around without turning their heads. A
gentleman who has examined the eyes o.

one are composed OF eight thousand little
