This is because in towns aud cities their
vision is mostly confined to short dis

hand, are generally gifted with remark
ably keen sight, and few tribes are
more noteworthy in this respect than
the African bushmen, whose eyes are
veritable telescopes. This power is no

the bushmen are a small race, and if
