How Insects See.

Il has always been commonly
accepted belief among boys and girls
and grown folks, too. for that mat
ter, that insects have very sharp eye
sight. but a distinguished French
scientist tells us that very few in
sects have good sight: in most it is
so poor that they see objects as
though through a colored plate. A
bee sees a tiny insect that passes be-
fore it as a confused patch on the
bright sky. The eyes OF insects are
mostly important in enabling them
TO direct their fight. A layer of
varnish over their eyes, though trans
parent, makes them wholly unable
20 find their way. The eyes enable
the ants to distinguish the ultra VIC
let rays. of which they have a great
horror.
IL is by their antennae. or feelers
that the insect distinguishes objects.
At distance the odor Is communicat-
ed through The antennae. and near
at hand odor and touch enable them
TO distinguish objects. Through the
antennae insects recognize their food
never by oyesiglIt.
II is by the antennae that the ant
Recognizes its enemies. The French
scientists put OF the antennae OF
a number OF ants Of different species
well known as deadly enemies and
put them INTO a box together They
associated with each other in a most
friendly manner. proving that their
sight had nothing to do with their
ability to distinguish friends from
foes. while the antennae were every
thing.
