a visit to London Stone" This his
toric stone is oblong in shape, OF a
grayish color, and is imbedded in the
slabs OF the foundation Of St S~within's
church, which is situated right in the
heart of the city. The stone was
erected by the Romans half a century
before the birth of the Savior as tAe
central milestone of point of their pos
sessions in Britain. From it all roads,.
divisions of property and distances
throughout the province were meas
ured. 1t has been recognized as the

Englishmen about this stone which
was not altogether superstition, that
rs all distances were reckoned from it
80 it was in q certain way the base OF

INSECT VISION.
The Probabilities as to What They Can
see with Their Strange Eyes.

me irobahi!iticS as to W hat They Can
see with Their Strange Eyes.
Two theories of insect vision are ex-
tant-thc older one that each lens
forms a separate eve. and the more re-
cent one that insects see as in Il mo-
safe, each lens forming part of the
total picture. The old view is sup
ported by the experiment OF placing Il
thin slice of an eye under the micro
scope, when the image of any object
reflected from the mirror is seen to be
transmitted through each of the hex
agonal lenses. A rough model of an
insects eye may be made by taking a
glass shade of the form of half
sphere, say about sixteen inches in di-
ameter. Place the eye at the center of
the globe and paint on its surface the
picture of the outer world rs seen
through it. If this painting be divided
into squares by lines scratched at in
tervals of one-eighth inch, there will
be twenty-five thousand six hundred of
them, and the proportions are roughly
those found in the eye of a dragon fly.
If now, instead of the details of the
picture on each square, a dab of color
be placed upon it corresponding to the
general tone. the effect of the whole
will pretty nearly agree with that of
the original painting. 1t is probably
this indistinct vision that insects ac-
tually possess. Mathematically it may
be shown that to obtain anything like
such perfect vision as human beings
enjoy an eye constructed on the COM
pound type would have to be OF most
impractica ble size. In our eyes the
rays of light passing through a single
lens form an image on the concave
retina. The retina is built up of the
sensitive examinations of the optic
nerve. forming kind of tasselated
pavement with thirty-six million
squares to the square inch, If our lens
were of perfect shape, and the pupil
wide enough. the size of things which
might be seen as distinct objects would
be limited by the distance of the nerve
endings in the retina from one anoth-
er. In order that two points may ap-
pear separate to the eye they must sub
tend an angle of about one minute of
arc; that is, for instance, that fine lines
ruled one-twentieth of An inch apart
can be made out to be separate at dis

Calculations clearly show that in
sects can not see nearly as we'll as this,
and their behavior to distant objects
favors this opinion. But their eyes
have this advantage, namely. that
there is practically no limit to the
nearness of objects they can examine.
The details of their own antenna prob.
ably appear palmer to themselves than
to US, but objects at the distance of a
foot appear to them with about the
same minuteness of detail as would be
attained if they were made of rather
coarse wool work. Beyond this the
