How THE Eye Is SWEPT AND WASHED
For us to be able to see objects clearly and
distinctly, it is necessary that the eve
should be kept moist and clean. For
this purpose, it is furnishe ed with q little
Q and, from which flows watery flood
tears which is spread over the eve by the
lid, and is afterwards spread off by it, and
runs through hole in the bone to the
inner surface of the nose. where the
warm air, passing over it while breat hing
evaporates it. 1t is remarkable that no
such gland can be found in the el es of n
fish, as the element in wich the live ans
swers the same purpose lfthe eye had
not been furnished with liquid to wash
it, and lid to sweep it Off things would
appear as they do when we look through
dusty glass. Along the edges of the
eve lid ther are a great number Of little
tubes or glands. from which flow an oily
substance which spreads over the surface
Of the skin, and thus prevents the edges
from becoming sore or irritated, and it al,
so helps to keep the tears within the lid.
There are also six little muscles attach,
ed to the eve which enables us t. move it
in every direction and wh"n we consid>
er the different motions which they are
capable Of giving to the eve, 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 of
motion, "a the fly, 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 so
that these little insects can see almrst all
around without turning their heads. A
gentleman who has examined the eyes of
fly says that the two ewes Of common
one are composed OF eight thousand little
globes, through every ode of which it is
capable Of forming an object. Having
prepared tho eye Of fly for the purpose,
and placed it befor the eye Of q microscope
and then looking through both in the
manner of the telescope at a steenle
which was 900 feet high and $50 feet dis
tant. and he says he could plainly see
through every little hemisphere the whole
sterple inverted or turned upside down.
