POWER OF HUMAN EYE
MAY
BE GREAT A8 COMPOUND
LRN6B6 OP THE FLY.
Eaeh of the Latter Rtfleeta but a
Small Part of the Imaga
Looked At.
A apeelallat has claimed that he can
with tho unaided ero distinguish lines
ruled In glass that aro only one fifty
thousandth of an Inch apart, but Lo
Oontfi haii limited the power of the
eye to distinguish lines to one one
thousandth of an Inch.
To show how Immensely superior la
the sense ot sight In defining single
things one can try tho sense ot touch
In comparison with It Tho two points
of a pair ot compasses placed threo
Inches apart on tho least sensitive
parts of tho body will bo folt as a
single prick.
"With tho nld of the mlcroseopo tho
human oyo can discern objects whose
diameter Is only about ono one-bun-dred-nnd-elght-thousandth
of an Inch.
It has been said that tho oyo of a fly
con distinguish an objoct ono five
millionth of an Inch In diameter.
What we designate as tho eye of a
fly is really a compound eye made up
ot numorous lenses. Of theso the com
mon house fly has something like four
thousand in the two eyes. The struc
tures of theso lenses are well known,
tho optical part of each consisting of
two lenses, whioh combined, form a
double convox Ions.
That each lens acts as a separate
oyo can be easily provod by detaching
tho whole of tho front of the com
pound eyo, atfd by manipulation with
a mlcroseopo it Is not difficult to ox
amino a photograph of other object
through it. When this is done a dis
tinct Image is seen In each lens.
Carpenter has shown that each lens
reflects but a small portion of the
Image looked at and that It requires
tho comblnod action ot tho 4.000
lenses of tho fly to produce tho same
effect as that seen by tho one human
eyo. Tho human eye Is thoroforo a
moro perfect optical Instrument than
the eyo of tho fly.
Scientists who have given consider
able attention to the Investigation of
compound eyes havo formed no opin
ion that would load to tho conclusion
that their power of vision with re
spect to small objects excoeds that of
tho simple eyes of'tho higher animals.
The Images of objects formed In the
separate lenses composing the com
pound eye aro proportionately small,
and the question whether Insects can
see smaller objects than animals fur
nished with single oyesils not a ques
tion ot optics, but of the sensitiveness
of tho optic nerve and consequently a
matter of mere conjecturo. Harper's
Weekly.
Decline of the Dachshund.
Many of the species of hounds so
popular today are survivors of the
time most hunting dogs were taught
to "hound" game. Then dogs selec
ed by reason of their superior speed
and powers of endurance wero chosen
to accompany the hunting parties
Hounds were divided into two classes
those qualified to follow the game
by scent and thoso capable of sight
ing tho quarry a long distance away.
All, however, were expected to unlto
in the running down of the quarry
And so it happens that, In the Teu
tonic languages, the name of "hound,"
or "hund," as the Germans havo It,
was originally used to designate nil
species ot dogs, but camo in time to
be applied to hunting dogs only. In
later times there camo a differentia
tion with respect to grayhounds, rab
bit hounds, bloodhounds, deerhounds,
eto.
An Interesting caso In point is that
of tho German dachshund, which
means "badger hound." The first
dogs ot this Bpecies were employed In
tho drawing of badgers.
Tho breed Is now too degenerate
tor tracking such game. Harper's
Weekly.
Reputation That 8tlcks.
Even tho leopard stands more
chance of being cleansed of his spots
than the negro of his reputation In
regard to chickens. A philanthropist
found for a colored protogo a job as
driver for a West street merchant,
says the New York Times. Tho negro
worked one day, then reported that
he bad been discharged. The philan
thropist telophoned to the merchant
"Why did Jim Rose Ioso his Job?"
he asked. "Wasn't ho n good man?"
"So far as I know," said tho mer
chant, "but, you see, you didn't tell
me beforehand hn wm colored, and it
happened that tho only job I could
glvo him was driving a poultry wagon.
I didn't daro trust him with that."
"But, good heavcnB, man, you didn't
suppose ho would steal chickens out
of a wagon in broad daylight?"
"I'm not supposing anything," said
tho merchant. "I wasn't going to put
hlra In tho way of temptation, What's
more, you won't find n man In New
York who will allow a chicken wagon
to bo driven by a negro."
Our Greatest Gun.
Tho first of tho largest guns ovor
constructed In tho United States Iibb
Just been romoved from tho workshlps
of the Washington navy yard prepara
tory to being mounted on ono of the
dreadnoughts.
It measures C3 feet C Inches In
length and weighs slxty-flvo tons. It
has cost 174,000, and an additional
$63,000 will bo expended for the
mounting. The shell discharged by
tho gun weighs 1,400 pounds. Includ
ing tho shell and powder It costs $700
for each discharge. Tho Initial veloc
ity of tho shell leading tho gun la
2,000 feet per second. Tho sholl Is
offoctlvo at a dlstanco of twelve hiIIob,

Lesson on Smlleo.
"Pa, who's that man that looks so
bluo?"
"That's tho coalman, son."
"And who's tho fellow who lookB so
darned happy?"
"You ought to know him that's the
Iceman."
"Ain't there nobody that's happy all
tho year round?"
"HoavonsI Haven't you mot the

experience selling Stoves and
Ranges wouldn't make a "Stove Man" out of a fellow what would?
We have reference now to a traveling .salesman who was m
our place of business recently. "That range over thtre," said
he, pointing to one of our Monarch Ranges, "is thu Best Mallea
ble Range on the market today."
This statement, coming from a man who has made Stoves
his life study, a man who is not in any way, financially or otlK
erwise, interested in the Sale of the Monarch Range, is certainly
worthy of consideration.
We placed Monarch Ranges
hom.es in this vicinity last week
by November 1st.

We're going to tell you more about Monarch Ranges 'and
why they are a good investment.
