The promoters of the Kennebec Da q
e, Reservoir Co, who were denied q
charter for the development of grei4t
electrical power at the headwaters oil
the Kennebec, by the 18th Legislature.
have, according to information receiN-
ed nv a Journal reporter, already be-
gun to consider the matter of reneWiHs
the fight for the charter at the next
Legislature, although the assemblih
of that body is more than u months
away. 1t is understood that a cam
paign of education is proposed WIN
the object of showing the general pun
lie that the proposed development :
properly safeguarded, will be beheae
to the State of Maine, rather lhah an
injury and that the interests opposed
to it have been actuated to some eN-
tent by selfish motives.
The incorporators named in the bill
which was under consideration by the
last Legislature are, Henry l. Haffi-
man of Newton, Mass, Malcolm "a
Chase of Providence, K. l., and Saih''fi
w. Philbrick of Skowhesan. We
public hearings were held upon the
bill before the committee on interior
waters in which Hon. George NJ. HAN
son of Calais. since appointed an IS,
sociate justice of the supreme Jnuleiai
court, appeared as chief counsel TOT
the promoters and Hon. Herbert Nj.
Heath of Augusta and Harvey -,
Eaton of Waterville were the leadin3
counsel in opposition. The measure
came into the House with DIVIDED
report from the committee on interior
waters. Senator Kellogg and Repre-

reported, ought To pass; Senator MIN.

four inspectors give the figures for a

THE POWER OF HUMAN VISION
The Simple Eye of Man and the Conf

specialist has claimed that he can
with the unaided eye distinguish lines
ruled in glass that are only one fifty
thousandth of an inch apart. but LIE
Conte has limited the power of the
eye 10 distinguish lines 10 one one
thousandth Of an inch.
70 show how immensely superior is
the sense of sight in defining single
things one can try the sense of touch
in comparison with it The two
points of a pair of eompasses placed
three inches apart on the least sensi-
tive parts of the body will be felt as a
single prick.
With the aid of the microscope the
human eye can discern objects whose
diameter is only about one one-hun-
bred and eighty thousandth of an
inch. 1t has been said that the eye OF
n fly can distinguish an object one
millionth of an inch in diameter.
What we designate as the eye of a
fly is really a compound eye made ur
of numerous lenses. OF these the
common house fly has something like
four thousand in the two eyes. The
structures of these lenses are well
known, the optical part of each con-
siSting Of two lenses. which combined
fGim II double convex lens.
That each lens acts as Il separate
eye can .he easily proved by detachine
the whole OF the front of the com
pound eye, and by manipulation with
a microscope ii is not difficult to ex-
anime a photograph or other object
through il. When this is done dis
tinct image is seen in each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each lens
reflects but a small portion of the i'm
age looked at and that it requires the
combined action of the 1000 lenses OF
the fly TO produce the same effect as
that seen by the one human eye The
human eye is therefore a more perfect
optical instrument than the eye of the
n.y..
Scientists who have given consider
able attention to the investigation of
compound eyes have formed no opn-
ion that would lead to the conclusion
that their power OF vision with re-
spect to small objects exceeds that of
the simple eyes of the higher animals.
The images of objects formed in the
separate lenses comprising the COM
pound eye are proportionately small
and the question whether insects can
furnished with single eyes is not a
question of optics, but of the sensitive
ness of the optic nerve and conse-
qnently a matter of mere conjecture.

LoRIMER LAsHED BY BROWN
Nebraskan Threatens to Hold Up Ap-
preparation Bills II Vote on Scan.
dal Is Not Ordered.

Washington.-Senator Norris Brown
of Nebraska in speech before the SEN
ate charged that Senator William Lor-
inner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the Illi-
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice. He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderick and Rep
resentatives Lee O'Neil Browne,
White, Link, Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer SEN
ator; that Browne and Speaker Ed
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
of representatives were the political
agents Of Mr.. Lorimer in accomplish.
ing his election, and that it was not
possible for the election to have been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac.
tees. Mr.. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis Of the testi.
mony which involved directly the rela-
tons of Lorimer. Shurtleff and
Browne and the relations of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued a challenge to obstruc.
tionists that he would hold up appro-
priation bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lorimer case,
the resolution pertaining to the cleo
ton of senators by the people, the bill
to create a permanent tariff board and
general service pension bill.
