Hats Still Elaborate.

\ noticeable point in the womans
linen costume this year, however, Is
that. while the tailored lines run to
the simplest, in the dress, it is nearly
always offset by an elaborate hat, This
may be in the form of floral turban,
or something built mp in the "nabob"
turban form, Of masses of fancy fou-
lard, or tulle, with shot effects; or it
may take the form of n large, wide
crowned hat with huge bird upon it,
massed and veiled with tulle. This

OF the linen itself, Of which few ex-

PECULIAR VISION OF FISH
Hypothesis That Seems to Explain
the Constant Revolution of
the Eyehail.

The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them chance to see
a great distance only in the horizontal
direction. 1t seems impossible to eX-
plain the constant revolution OF the
eyeball on any other hypothesis ex-
cept that the optical axis extends for
ward instead of sidewise.
When fish wishes to eat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond or
at the surface of the water, it swims
directly toward the object; and in this
case the eyes are instantly adjusted
in line with the body, SO as to bring
the image of the particle desired upon
the posterior portion of the retina.
In this case they lose their horizontal
position.
If fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water, the first move
ment is that of the eyes in unison in
the direction of the turning. This
would be entirely unnecessary if the
apparent axis was the axis of the most
distinct vision, as one OF the eyes
would see all that was to be seen on
the side of the turning. After this
movement of the eyes, the body turns
enough to bring the eyes into theil
normal position, then there is again a
movement of the eyes, and next {
movement of the body. This causes {
peculiar jerking motion of the eyeball'
during the whole time OF the turning
of the body.

that poor families who did not keep
