Seeing ht-side lin.

The lenses Of the eye produce on the
retina an inverted image of objects
looked at, and the question is often
asked, why do things appear right
side up when their images are wrong
side up?" 1t occurred to Mr.. Stratton,
of the University of California, to try
the effect of preventing the inversion
Of images on the retina. This was ac-
complished by means of an optical in
strument which excluded from the
eyes all light except that which passed
through the instrument itself. The in
strument was adjusted to the eyes at
o'clock one afternoon, and was not
removed Except at night, when the
eyes were bandageO until noon the
next day. At first, to the person whose
eyes were thus treated, everything
seemed topsyturyy and illusory, and
the mind instinctively tried to imagine
objects to be in the position in which
they ordinarily appear. After time,
however, the feeling OF the unreality of
what was seen passed away, and the
person experimental on even began to
imagine everything that lay outside his
field of vision to be arranged In the
same way as what he saw. This goes
to show that habit and experience
counterfeit the effect of the inversion OF
Images In the eyes.

Animal War.


twenty-five years ago the mongoose,
the great enemy Of snakes In India,
was Imported into Jamaica to destroy
the rats which were devastating the
sugar-cane and other crops Of the ISL
and. Having exterminated the rats
the mongoos next attacked poultry and
all kinds of game, as well as snakes,
lizards and turtles, and finally even
began to feed upon sugar-cane, banan-
as. pineapples, etc. But at length, ac-
cording to the account recently pub
lished by Prof. Duerden, of Jamaica,
the tables were turned against the in
vader. What its larger foes could not
accomplish seems to have been done
by ticks and other small insects. The
natural enemies Of these pests having
been driven of by the mongoos the
ticks multiplied enormously, until
even human beings suffered from their
attacks. The little pests then fastened
upon the mongoos, which within the
past few years has notably diminished
in numbers. And now, as the mongoot
gradually disappears, the snakes, birds
and lizards are beginning to return.
