Small Part o. the Image
i IN Looked Al

A 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 to distinguish lines to- one one
thousandth of an inch.
To 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 pair of compasses placed three
inches apart on the least sensitive
parts of the body will be felt as q
single prick.
With the aid of the microscope the
human eye can discern objects whose
diameter is only about one one-hun-
Observation-Disclosures Of an inch.
It has been said that the eye Of ny
can distinguish an object one i've
millionth of an inch in diameter.
What we designate as the eye OF
fly is really compound eye made up
of numerous lenses. OF these the COM
mon house fly has something like four
thousand in the two eyes. The struc-
lures of these lenses are well known,
the optical part Of each consisting Of
two lenses, which combined, form a
double convex lens.
That each lens acts as separate
eye can be easily proved by detaching
the whole of the front of the COM
pound eye, and by manipulation with
a microscope it is not difficult to ex-
anime photograph Of other object
through Il. When this is done dis
tinct image Is seen in each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each lens
reflects but small portion Of the
Image 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 q
more perfect optical instrument than
the eye of the fly.
Scientists who have given consider
able attention to the investigation Of
compound eyes have formed no opin-
Ion that would lead to the conclusion

spect to small objects exceeds that OF

The images of objects formed in the

HARD on THE HEART
GERMAN PHYSICIAN FINDS FAULT
WITH OUR ELEVATORS.
Advises Walking Downstairs, but Says
Use Elevator Going Up, as Il IN
doubtedIy Heips,to Save the
Organs Of Life.

A German physician who has been
visiting this country is. said to have
declared that riding in our swift eleva-
tors is the cause Of the increase Of
heart trouble in this country. He holds
the involuntary catching Of the breath
when the elevator starts or stops as
responsible,
Far from causing injury to the
heart" says the Independent, "eleva-
tors have spared that important or
ian, much unnecessary strain. There is
probably nothing harder on the heart
than the going up many flights OF
stairs. Tbs pumping Of blood through
lightly contracted muscles during the
process Of lifting the body up to a
height is one of the hardest that the
heart can have.
men who are suffering from heart
disease have been kept at work and
enabled to do their work longer be

than by any advance that there is In

cerned, it is probable that most PEG

downstairs occasionally.

in the treatment Of obesity has recon

Besides this there Ia probably no
better exercise for the ankle joints

Of the most frequent sources of com.
plant Of extreme fatigue and OF
achy feelings that are often supposed
to be rheumatic is the yielding OF
the arch Of the foot with tendency
to the development Of Indebtedness

the muscles which normally hold the
Joints OF the ankle firmly together be.
come dabby and allow the gradual

relaxation Of the ligaments Of the

foot braces for this. and in advanced
cases such q crutch is probably nee
essary.
In most cases, and particularly al

It would b. much better II exercises
were praeticad to restore the strength

the exercise for the feet that used to
be obtained In going up and com
ing down the stairs. SO far as Ut is of
use in facilitating ascent in the high
buildings it is an advantage. 1t would
be probably much better, however, if
It were not used so much for coming
