REPTILES ALL OF SHORT SIGHT
Experiments Prove Their Range OF
Vision to Be Limited.

The corps OF naturalists attached to
the geological park at Washington has
recently concluded some interesting
experiments to test the vision of GER
tain animals.
II 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 limited range. indeed, as com
pared with most animals.
Crocodiles cannot distinguish man
at a distance exceeding ten times their
length. Fish see for only short dis
tances. The vision OF most serpents
is poor, the boa constructor, for exam
pie, being able to see no further than
onethird of it's own length. Some
snakes see no further than one-eighth
of their length. Frogs are better an
dowed with sight. for they can
distinguish objects clearly at a dis.
taLce OF 20 times their own length.
The hearing of nearly all reptiles IL
even worse than their vision Most
OF them are quite deaf, especially the
boa constructor The phrase deaf as
an adler represents the careful OBJ
servaticn of our forefathors.-Harper's

lions OF tolerably healthy. tolerabl:'
moral and tolerably intelligent men
and women to do the work and carry
on the civilization Of the known
world.
II is true that extreme poverty, like
idleness in luxury and parasitism. Is
bad for maternity, and II is true that
in too many homes the provisions for
child culture are still sadly made
quate. But it is not true that we have
reached the parlous state where THE
woman refuses to go back. the home
refuses to go forward, and marriage
waits"
Few OF us would send women back

we could, and most of us understand
that we couldn't If we would. Reyolu.

gress OF woman is assured. As to the

yanees slowly. to be sure, but this
shows wise conservatism and a due
realization OF its solemn responsible
tiles. The home knows that no,
