tween 100000 and 100000 reti-
nal cone cells at birth. When the in
FAINT is born its eye, he says, is in
complete, the adult having twice as
many retinal cone cells as the babe.
The number of 'retinal rods" has
been estimated as high as 100000
900. Upon these retinal rods, as
upon so many punched finger tips of
a blind man, he says, is laid the
warm picture, made by light, of the
external scene. The difficulty in de-
veloping the eye, he says, is what
has delayed the perfect development
of the body mechanism.
The eyes of the primeval types of
life, DR.. Gould says, looked outward
one from the other in divergent lines
of vision. Man, through a long
range of evolutionary types, is APP
preaching parallelism of vision
with his two eyes looking out in two
close parallel directions, in which
each field of vision is partly included
in the other. This has brought about
changes in the bones and skull. The
more divergent the eyes the more
gregariOus, the more cowardly the
animal. When the ancestral man be-
gan to walk upright his eyes had to
modify their functions and their
structure, and this brought about
changes in the shape of the face and
head.
There was in the lower types of
life, he says, looking ahead of the
eyes. This, and the advance toward
paralelism, began to come when the
animal called man commenced to
stand upright and use his foreHmbs
for special tasks. With the vertical
postage came right-handedness and
left-handedness, parallelsm Of the
optic axes and the power to sweep
the eyes in all directions. The latest
complication of the visual function is
a direct result of right-handedress
With dangerous or delicate tasks
one eye must dominate. The writing
and speaking centers are in hut one
hemisphere of the brain
In the right-handed person the
writing and speaking center is the
left hemisphere of the brain. In
the left handed person the writing
and speaking center is in the right
hemisphere. 1t is wrong and use
less, says DR.. Gould, to try to make
right-handed child write with the
left hand, inasmuch as it is merely
obeying the right-handed impulse. or
junction of it's brain. There IS
scarcely one perfect pair of eyes in
the world, he says, chiefly because,
since man began to walk upright.
he has had to wink his eyes much
faster, and the lids have not learned
to work perfectly The corner is
warped by the pressure of the lid.

astigmatism results.

NEW YORK-An Ithaca dispatch
to The World says: The perfect
man of the millennium period will
have but one eye. He will be cy-
clopean, like the tabled creature in
Greek mythology. The one eye may
be located in the middle of the fore
head. Were it not that the nose
hides from the right eye a consider
able part of the world to the left
side it is probable that the trend to-
ward a single or cyclopeap eye
would be greater than it is at pres
ent. Such are the astonishing con-
illusions of Prof. George M. Gould
of Ithaca, who has given many years
60 the study of the eye.
Of the drift of the human race to-
ward One-eyedness, or cyclopeanism,
Dr. Gould says: In the localization
of the speech-and-writing center in
the brain and of the origin of right
handedness the blunder of those
who preach ambidextrousness or
both-handedness, is as maleficent as
may be easily imagined.

nose and the forehead, is a straight
