why Cats Eyes shine i'm the Dark.

The eyes of many animals-those of
cats, for instance exhibit peculiar
brilliancy, which ispeculiarly remarkable
in the dusk. 1t was formerly thought that
the eyes of such animals emitted light in
dependently. as it was also thought that
light could be emitted by the human eye,
under the influence of passion. This
brilliancy, however, in the eyes of these
animals, is caused by carpet of glitter
fibres, called the tapetum, which lies be-
hine the retina, and is powerful reflec-
tor. In perfect darkness no light is OBJ
served in their eyes, a fact which has
been established by very careful expert
ments but, nevertheless, a very small
amount of light is sufficient to produce
the luminous appearance in them.
