strike upon the retina are too great or
toe small for the human organ Yet
! they are most important, exercising a
great influence upon human beings.
The ultra-v violet rays are known by
their chemical action and are termed
chemical rays, while the ultra-red rays
are heat rays, and are known as such.
So it is evident that there is much that
the eye does not or cannot see, even
with all the mechanical aids which
have been provided in telescope, mi
croscope &c.
What really carries the message of
vision to the brain center of vision
which is at the back of the head is the
optic nerve, and the fact that, il you
have pain in the back of the head, it
s probably due to eye strain is admit
ted by all physicians. If you feel that
strain and headache located at the oc-
eiput, the first thing to do is to con-
suit an oculist and set the glasses
which will correct the error of vision.
Your eyes may be wrong in any
number of Ways, either there may be a
defect in some one of the lenses or the
nerve may have become weakened or
which the eye is focused may be
wrong. The last is probably the com
monest of troubles and may he easily
corrected if promptly taken in hand by
an expert.
Cross eyes are only defects of mus
cular control, and the latest researches
point to the necessity for correcting
this defect as promptly as possible
Many parents make the fatal mistake
of not calling in the specialist even
when they notice that an infant
crosses the eyes" But it is in the
early stages that this trouble may be
best corrected, otherwise the muscles
become fired in their error and the de-
feet is permanent. 1t is never too early
to pus glasses upon the child who re-
quires them-it is often too late to
save the child from permanent injury

THE MYSTERY OF SEEING
THINGS.
There Are More Unsolved Probems
as to Sight Than any Other Sense.

No two persons see practically alike
any more than any two persons heal
precisely the same. The differences in
these perceptions are due to the wide
disparities not only in the organs OF
vision and hearing, but also to the diff
ferences in mental makeup of the in.
dividuals.
There are more unsolved problems as
to sight than any other sense; it is the
most wonderful and at the same tme
the most ineXplcabe sense that We
possess. Every school child is taught
that we see because rays of light reach
the retina of the eye after passing
through the transparent cornea, that
curved surface which is in direct con
tact with the external air, the aqueous
or watery humor, and the crystalline
and vitreous humors. The eye is thus
made up of three separate lenses
through which the light passes before
reaching the retina. When observed
from outside it is plain that all the
images appear to be reversed i'll the
eye. We see everything upside down.
but in some way this reversal is cor
rected, so that things appear to us az
they should, though this simple point
has not vet been explained by the most
advanced science.
But the eye sees not only images and
light; ii also distinguishes color. And
here is One of the greatest problems
with which the eye has to deal. The
white light of ray of sunshine is d-
vided by prism into all of the colors
from red to violet and it is one of the
greatest triumphs of modern optics to
have proved that what we call color is
nothing but the speed with which some
parts of the ray of sunshine strike up
on the retina.
The eye can perceive waves striking
it as low as red and as high as violet,
hut there are many rays both above
and below the red and violet, the ex-
tremes of the spectrum, as they are
called The human eve cannot perceive
them because the lengths of the waves
