LIMITS OF HUMAN VISION
Interesting and Curious Data on

Interesting and Curious Data on
the Distinctness of Per-
cepttOn.
Men Of science have collected interest
ing and curious data with reference to
the 6istinctness of perception in eyesight
and as to It's limitations comparing other
senses with the sense Of vision and hu-
man eyesight with the eyesight Of in
sects.
In many cases the drift of the inquiry
has been simply to ascertain how near
together one can place two objects and
stil perceive them distinctly as two.
In very close proximity these objects
app var TO become one A specialist has
CLAIMED that he can with the unaided
eye distinguish the lines ruled in glass
thu. are only one-fifty- -thousandth of an
inc. 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 com
parison with 1t. The two points of a pair
of compasses placed three inches apart
on the least sensitive parts of the body
will be felt as single prick.
With the aid of the microscope the
human eye can discern single objects
whose diameter is only about one-one-
hundred nd-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 fly" is
really a 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
II is not difficult to examine a photo
graph or other object through it. When
this is done a distinct image is seen in
each lens.
1t has been shown that each lens re-
fleets but a small portion of the image
looked at, and that 1t requires the com
bined action of the 1000 lenses of the
fly to produce the same effect as thai
seen by the one human eye. The human
eye is. therefore, a 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 thai
their power OF vision with respect tC
small objects exceeds that Of the simple
eyes Of the higher animals
The images Of objects formed in tn,
separate lenses composing the compound
eye are proportionally small. aud th'
question whether insects can see snssllel
objects than animals furnished with singl,
eyes is not a question of optics, but o.
the sensitiveness of the optic nerve and
consequently, a matter of mere con
jecture.-Washingto Star.

GEMS OF ETHIOPIAN KINGS
Jewels and Cola Found In the Ruins

Tho story OF Queen candace's ancient

NEW AMUSEMENT
 DEVICE DEVISED.
G. B. Rutherford Applies for Patent on Improve
 ment on Figure g."

Letters patent have been applied for by G. B. Rutherford of this city for an amusement device which combines all the fine points and more of the we'll known Figure g. with some new features, especially in lower mi tial cost, smaller cost of erection, maintenance and operation. and add ed ''Wrinkles' to cause laughter and pleasure.
 MT. Rutherford has been at work on the device for some months past and has finally perfected il and filed his application for patent. A working model, about fifteen feet long and four wide, has been constructed by him and has been operated for tne benefit of some of his intimate friends, all of whom praise the affair in strong terms.
 One Of the weak features of the ordinary Figure g. has been the fact that it reaches so high in the air. be- ing therefore dangerous in case of
 accident, as well as costly of con- struction and maintenance. MT. Rutherford's device will be between 300 and 350 feet in length. not over
 
 wide at the widest points, each end
 o fthe device being of equal width. h forms a perfect figure s, as the name implies, with the two loops joined at | the center.
 1 At each end is an immense wheel, lying flat, which carry an endless cable. To this cable the cars are at tached, the motive power turning one of the big wheels, putting in motion the cable and thus drawing the cars around the figure. A wavy motion is imparted to the cars. and because one of the tracks crosses the other at the centre of the device, persons rid ing in the cars labor under the optical l illusion that the cars will collide, only to have them pass in safety. Mr. Rutherford is twork on a
 humber of other articles, among them an engine which he believes will
 mark distinct improvement in such things when it is perfected. Several l amusement devices are also in pro- cess of constructor by Mr. Rnther- 1 ford.

MANS LEG FOUND IN SHARK.
Shoe on Foot Identified as Belong. ing to Missing Captain.

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 19.-A mans leg was found in the stomach of a shark caught in the ocean near here and brought to land by the Austrian steamer Lucia. All the flesh had been digested, leaving the bones of the thigh and calf bare, with the knee joint still intact, except on the foot which was covered by new shoe.
 This shoe was examined by dealer and identified as one of a pair he sold short time ago to Capt. Bisneck of the fishing smack AlgOma, who was drowned about two weeks bef- ore
 The skipper and a member of his crew were in small boat trying to make a landing near the navy yard after their smack had been anchor ed for the night, when the boat was overturned. Capt. Bisneck was never seen again, although the tugs and pilots on duty at the entrance of the harbor kept a close lookout for his body. The shark in which the leg was found was 12 12 feet long.
