optics this arrangement projects an in

tance from the lenses. The size of the
object Is greater the nearer the lenses are
together and tho greater the distance be-
tween the focuses.
To obtain good images the lenses are

During a recent trip across the
Atlantic the passengers on one
steamer had vivid illustration Of
the endurance of the stormy petrol.
Shortly after the ship left the Irish
coast two or three of these birds
were sighted at the stern Of the
ship. One had been caught at some
previous time, and its captor tied a
bit of rcd flannel or ribbon round
its neck and let it go. The bit Of
red made the bird very conspicuous,
and 1t could be easily identified.
That bird. with others that could
not be SO easily distinguished, fol
