SCIENCE OF CLEAR VISION.

The mechanism of distinct and in
distinct vision has been understood only
since 1896. says DR., Austin Flint in the
Popular Science Monthly. The sensitive
parts of tn. r.tina are little rods and
cones. forming d LAYER by themselves,
In 1916 Boll discovered that in frogs
kept in the dark the rods Of the retina
We're colorei u dark purple; but On cN-
posture to light the color faded, peCom-
ing first yellow and then white. Since
that time. PSYCHOLOGISTS have been care
fully Investigating visual purple and
visual yellow.
Just outside the layer rods aud cones
ar. the dark cells. which render the
greater part of tn" interior Of the eye
almost black. In the dark. these cells
send little iilaments between the rods
and discharge a liquid which colorS the
rods alone. When the rods are thus
CulOr"d, III. eye is extremely sensitive.
50 that IA bright light is dazzling and
painful and ohsCures distinct vision.
This is the reason why We cannot see
distinctly when We com" suddenly from
uldS however. the color is hleaChed to a
yellow. and the ditiiCulty passes away.
Wher. 90 the other hand, We pass from
bright light into the dark the rctina

auCe OF the visual purple, and We can
not see At all until the purple Is pro-
duCcd. as II * in the absence of light.
This difference is not due To dllation
~ the pupil in the dark and contraction
under irtluenoe of light as II poularly
supposed, for a person does not see bet
