SEEING POWER OF INSECTS
interesting Data Collected in Connee-
ton With Studies in Comparison
With the Human Eye.

Very curious data have been collect
cd In regard 10 the seeing powers OF
Insects The human eye in perfect
condition Is able to see objects Sepa-
rately that are only one minute Of arc
apart Put two objects, as, for in.
stance two black circles. on a white
ground just one inch apart and then
place them at distance of about
286i2 feet. AS seen with the naked
eye the apparent space between the
circles will be minute OF arc. This
space Is plainly the limit of detail Wis
iblc to the unasssted human eye.
Now it might be supposed that an
insect. having compound eye, would
be able to see more detail thun we do
in other words, could separate small
objects closer together. As a matter
of fact, owing to the small aperture OF
the lenses composing the facets of the
eye, and the spacing between the
facets, insects see less detail than
we do.
Ii has been calculated that dragon
fly cannot see separately TWO objects
that are placed less than one degree
apart, In other words, to such an in
sect two silver coins lying on a table
three inches apart and viewed from a
distance exceeding l4lS feet would
appear rs a single object
Bees and flies. according TO the
same investigator. are still more linn
tied in their ability to see the details
of objects presented to their eyes.
fly could see the two silver coins above
described separately only at dis
lance not exceeding about seven feet.
II has been remarked as conSe-
quence of this thai we cHn see the de-
tails on the antennue of fly at a dis
lance Of two feet or more better than
the fly itself can, though they are but
the fraction Of an inch from its eyes.
