The first to be record ed was the tragedy which befell Cana Kerotivich and Bajin Kojopelich, of Servia, both of whom were shot down by the groom's brother just as a we'd ding ceremony was about to be per formed.

The corps OF naturalists attached 10
The Geological park at Washington has
recently concluded some interesting
experiments to test the vision Of ee.s

1t appears that the sight Of reptiles
is generally very good being probably
their most acute sense. but not so
acute as popularity supposed, possess
ing a limited range, indeed, as com
pared with most animals
Crocodles cannot distinguish a man
at a distaf ce exceeding ten times their
length Fash see for only short dis
tances. Tie vision Of most serpents
is poor, the boa constructor, for exam
pie boing able to see no further than
onethird Of its own length Some
snakes SO no further than oneeighth
Of their length Frogs are better an
lowed win sight, for they can
distinguish objects clearly at dis
lance of 20 times their own length
The hearing of nearly all reptiles is
even worse than their vision Most
of them are quite deaf especially the
boa constructor. The phrase deaf as
