Tell=Tale Eyes.

A RECENT number of the America
Review of Reviews quotes from
the Bulletin of the French Societe de
Biologie some interesting facts about
the shape and position of the eyes in
animals, according as to whether they
the eyes are in the front of the head
and close together; they are deep in
their sockets and protected by dor
sal ridges and by the ma sticatory
vision of such animals is large, while
the panoramic field is limited. Hun
tiers that lie in wait for their prey
have pupils vertically elliptical; those
that chase their prey have round pu-
pills. In huxted animals, the eyes are
at the side. of the head and wide
apart, with shallow orbits and no pro-
lection from ridges or muscles. SO
that they usually protrude. Hence,
their binocular field is very small or
entirely lacking. but their panoramic
field embraces almost the whole hori-
zon. In the fastest runners, the pu-
pills forms horizontal ellipse which
assists in broadening the field of
vision; poor runners have round pu-
pills. The frog, both hunter and hunt
ed, has frontally placed eyes. but they
protrude and have crosswise clip
teal pupils.

Concrete Furniture.

WE are assured that we are to
have new kind of furniture,
and that we are no longer to depend
upon the stalwart oak, the rich, mas
sive mahogany or the finely marked
circassfan walnut. The idea is to
build furniture from concrete direct.
Furthermore, it is said, it will be
cheap as well as strong 1t is be-
lieved by the experts concerned that
1t will cost only about half as much
as wood furniture. At present the
weight of this concrete furniture il
about one-third greater than wood.
but the experts are quite confident
that they can reduce this weight to
one-quarter. Tho concrete surface
can, of course, be stained in inita-
tion Of any wood finish. One advan-
tage Of the new furniture is that it
will stand much harder usage than
wood furniture. .-.-.
