more reasonable estimate.
II depends largely upon the time of
life at which the eye is lost. BY
muscular vision. says the Lancet, we
fuse two slightly dissimilar images
of an object, which are focused upon
the two retinas. and this enables us
tn estimate correctly the relative po-
sition or distance of objects. This
power. however, is not confined to
those of us who possess two good
eyes. The man who has been blind in
one eye from infancy possesses it in
almost equal perfection with the pos
SCISSOR of two eyes. For many other
factors unite to compensate for the
