New Wells.

Altogether unique is the new face
veil with the edge embroidered in
cherries in natural colors, or with a
row Of tiny violets or forget-me-
with green leaves. Another novelty
is yelling with reversible dots, black
on one side and white on the other.
The storm veil has been issued by an
enterprising manufacturer to take
the place of the two wells which have
been worn for the past two winters.
The storm veil consists of a chiffon
veil and one of net joined at one edge
The net veil is worn over the face and
the chiffon one around the hat crown

when the veil may be spread as a pro-
lection over the entire hat.

Meohan,ca1 Theory of Vision.

Mr.. A. Pizon proposes to substitute
q mechanical theory of vision for the
chemical theory, which leaves many
phenomena unexplained. He has
shown that in the visual organs of all
the vertebrates and invertebrates, SIM
pie or complex, the Elementary gran
ules that accompany the visual cells
are, without exception, in rapid motion
like that of micrococci.
The presence of these granules in
immediate contact with the visual
cells and the constancy of their mo-
tons lead naturally to the conclusion
that they serve as Intermediates in
the excitation of the cells. The gran
ules acquire their energy from the
light and transmit 1t to the rods and
cones Of the retina with which they
are in contact, and from them it trav-
els along the optic nerve. This simple
theory removes several difficulties in
the theory of vision and changes the
received lotions of the Importance Of
the purple of the retina, etc.

The Birds of Ancient Egypt.

Messrs. Lortet and Hugouneng have
recently investigated the mummified
remains of Egyptian fishes to discover
the different ancient species, and now
Messrs. Lortet and Gailard have done
q corresponding work for the birds.
These mummies fall into two classes
the mumnies Of the ibis and those of
birds of prey. The mummies date.
some from the Roman, some from the
Ptolemaic period. Thirty-eight species
have been recognized and named, most
of~which have not been previously
known as mummies. 1t is interesting
to note that the white ibis of ancient
times was very much larger than the
corresponding bird of our own day
whose habitat is the upper Nile region.
