Some Variety of Eyes.

Birds of lofty flight, as the condors,
eagles, vultures, and carrion-seeking prowl-
ers of the feathery race, have telescope
vision and thus they are enabled to look
down and discover their unsuspecting vic
Tins As they approach noiselessly from
above the axis or vision changes, shorten
ing, so that they see just as distinctly within
one foot of the ground as when at an eleva-
ton of one mile in the air. This fact ex-
plains the balancing of fshhawk on its
pinions half mile above still pond
watching for fish. When one is selected,
down the savage hunter plunges, the focal
axis varying as the square of the distances,
giving the hawk distinct view of its in
tended prey always. As they ascend, then,
the axis is elongated by curiour muscular
arrangement SO as to see far again. Snails
have their keen eyes at the extremity of
flexible horns, which they can protrude or
draw in at pleasure. By winding the in
strument round the edge of leaf or a
small stock, they can see how matters stand
on the opposite side, The hammer-headed
shark has its wicked-looking eyes nearly
two feet apart. It can bend the thin edg-
ings of the head on which the organs are
located, SO as to examine the two sides of
an object the size Of a fully grown Goldfish.
Flies have immovable eyes. They stand
out from the head like half an apple, ex-
ceedingly prominent. Instead Of being
smooth hemispheres, they have an immense
number of facets, resembling old fashioned
watch glass seals, each one directing the
lights directly to the optic retina. This
explains why they cannot be approached in
any direction withoutseeing what is coming.

"After breakfast the sheriff came down
to the tavern and told me that / had caught
the very bird, and if / would remain until
the next morning 1 should have the reward
of 5000 which had been offered. | found
my goods all safe, paid the express agent
for bringing them from indianapolis, and
then went to work to stow them away in
my cart. 1 found the bullet holes in the
top of my vehicle just as | expected. They
were in a line, about FIVE inches apart, and
had I been where 1 usually sit, two of
them would have hit me somewhere about
the small of the back and passed upward,
for they were sent with heavy charge of
powder, and his pistol was heavy one.
"On the next morning the sheriff called
upon me and paid me 5000 in gold, for he
had made himself sure that he had got the
william. After an early dinner set out,
and here 1 am. I've sold my load all out,

for me from the sheriff of Hancock county,
and he informed me that Mr.. Hardhead is

So ended the peddler's story. In the
morning 1 had the curiosity to look at his
cart and found the four bullet holes Just
as he had told us, though they were now
plugged up with phial corks Viney came
out while 1 was looking and showed me
the prints of the williams feet upon the cart.
They were plain, and must have been
given with great force.
