HUMAN VISION.
Farsieht, Nearsight and Method In
Testing the Eyes.

Farsight or nearsight-which IS bet

has unusually acute vision for objects
at Il great distance can rarely thread
needle or read small print without
glasses, while the person whose near
vision is so acute as to serve him al
most like microscope sees distant OBJ
jects as a blurred mass.
The Medical Record comments on
chow little is known as to the extent
of vision of the farsighted and still less
of the nearsighted." We have two eyes
in order that our vision may be stereo-
scopic, and it is thus that we are able
to Judge of the relative distances of OBJ
jects, and 1t brings greater field be-
fore the retlna at one time, but the
sight of two eyes is no kecner than
that of one. Indeed. if there be re.
CURED a greater intensity in given

the vision of one eye" That is why
most women close one eye when thread

NATIVES OF ALASKA.
Both Glasses of Them Seem TO Be Of
Asiatio Origin.

HSlduS OTigH.
There are but two classes Of ma
tiyes In Alaska Eskimos and Siwash
Indians. Eskimos live along the north
ern coast line, while the Slwash is
found in every part OF Alaska.
The Eskimo is probably Of Mon
solian extraction, and the SlwGsh GER
tainly is. In mixed company Of ST.
wash Indians and Chinese coolies. all
dressed in similar garb, it would be
impossible TO distinguish one from the
other by physical appearance alone.
Likewise in speech the cultural tones
are identical, and pecullarities of in
hectiQn and the unconscious little
mannerisms of orientals and Siwashes
are as stiikngy similar as their phys
zeal characteristics. The Siwash vo-
cabulary contains between 200 and 800
words some villages using more and
others fewer words, but all containing
some words Of oriental origin.
The language Of all Siwashcs was
unquestionably the same originally,
although at present the Inhabitants Of
some Villages aic Uuahe to under
stand TIE language spoken in others.
The speech Of these natives on the
Aleuiian islands probably shows the
widest divergence iun tie original
