important problems in connection
with the forests of Nova Scotia will
De considered at the annual conven-
tlon OF the Canadian Forestry Asso-
ciation, which today began its four
DAY convention in this city. The OBJ
1ect of this association is first to
have a survey made of all the wild
lands, so that lands which will new
er be fit for agriculture may be kept
growing good timber crops in per-
petuity. Timber lies at the base
OF all Canadian manufacturing and
1t Is becoming more generally rec
ognized that the reproduction of
forests Is one of the important
problems of the Dominion. It is
seen that every interest is benefited
and none injured by forests on land
which is non-usable for agriculture
while it also vitally affects the wa
ter supply for cities and towns. A
number of lantern slides will be
shown at these meetings, giving
views of the present state of the
forests and the methods taken to
preserve and reproduce them, as
well as the conditions in other coun-
tries. The economic side will be
dealt with at some length.

LIMITS OF HUMAN VISION

~ EN- of science have collected in
mi teresting and curious data with
AvA reference to the distinctness Of
perception in eyesight and as TO its limit
ations comparing other senses with the
sense of vision and human eyesight with
the eyesieht of insects.
In many cases the drift OF the inquiry
has been simply to ascertain how near
together one can place two objects and
still perceive them distinctly as two.
In very close proximity these objects
appear to become one. A specialist has
claimed that he can with the unaided
eye distinguish the lines ruled in glass
that are only one-ffty- thousandth OF an
inch apart. but lie Conte has limited the
power of the eye to distinguish lines to
ne-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 COM
parison with it, The two points Of a
pair of compasses placed three inches
apart on the least sensitive parts of the
body will be felt as a single prick.
With the aid OF the microscope the
human eye can discern single objects
whose diameter is only about one-one-
hundred and -eight-thousandth of an inch.
1t has been said that the eye OF fly
can distinguish an object one-five-mil-
lionth of an inch in diameter
-
What we call the EYE Of a fy is
really compound eye made up of nu-
merous lenses. OF these the common
house fly has something like 1900 in two
eyes. The structures of these lenses are
well known. the optical part of each con-
sisting of two lenses, which, combined.
form a double convex lens.
That each lens acts as a separate eye
can be easily proved BY detaching the
whole of the front Of the compound eye,
and by manipulation with a microscope
it is not difficult to examine photo
graph or other object through it. When
this is done distinct image is seen in
each lens.
1t has been shown that each lens re-
fleets but small portion Of the image
looked at. and that it requires the com
bined action of the 1900 lenses of the
fly to produce the same effect as that
eye is. therefore, more perfect optical
instrument than the eye of the fly.
Scientists who have devoted consider
able attention to the investigation of
compound eyes have formed no opinion
that would lead to the conclusion that
