of the Day, in a short, pointed and
elegant manner, opened the exercises
of the day with the following remarks:
Again we are privileged to celebrate
the birthday of our natiOn-of our

To- day a nation was born. 1t is an
event that has and will constitute an
illu>triou> era in the history of the

or dare To die. our sun of national
happiness has already risen and has

liberty, light, justice and religion.

Seeing Under Water.

In order to have distinct vision and
a power for estimating the distance OF
one object from another under water
the magnifying lens OF the eye of aqua,
tic animals must necessarily be much
more convex than in land animals
A fish sees in air just as we do in
opening our eyes under water-in-
distinctly. Submarine explorers are
provided with glasses which meet the
emergencies.
Seals. frogs, terrapins, crocodlles, and
water birds, that seek prey alternately
in air and water, possess marvellous
mechanical provision for varying the
optic axis in passing from one medium
to another. Human eyes, having no
such adjustable apparatus, meet an
emergency by a lens outside, as in
wearing glasses.
No individual organ has been more
profoundly studied, nor is any depart
ment OF science better understood, than
optics. yet the sense Of vision Is not the
eve. bat far back in the brain. The
eye i, simply a receiving instrument,
like spy glass, directed by the will,
through which the conscious soul con-
TEMPLATES what is beyond. Through
those organs the mind holds intercourse
with the word. Yet with such facts
for guidance, based on positive demon
stralions, philosophers have not been
able to explain how the mind operates
on the optic mechanism TO see.
Insects are abundantly provided
with motionless eyes-but they are
without brains. They have ganglionic
nervous centres, and so have we but
vision has its location in certain tuber-
cles-tuJercula qIadrigsmini. Spiders,
flies bugs-even mosquitoes, with the
incest kind of distinct vision. both
microscopic and telescope, have
nothing like brain.
