Eyes differ, and naturalists have only very imperfect understanding of what the Various animals can eco, but from late periments Leon J. Cole, á Hatyard zoologia

ade that insects and reptiles mir divided by the acuteness of their vision into four types. The first, of which the earth worm las representative, is without eyes, a seuative skin "enabling it to distinguish between darkness and light.. A second type ha visual organs, but they form no definite images suit are affectel only by the lutensity and direction of the light. Creatures of the third type have eyes that distinguish between equally

·lighted objects of different size. In the fourth type, the eyes perceive objects, and vision is much like our own. Just what is the use of the many small images formed by the compound eges, of insects is still uncertai¿.

Electro-chemistry is in its infancy, but its produota already include minoral and artificial organic colore that promise to become serious competitors of the coal tar dyes. The new coloring malters are precipitated by the electric earrant from suitable solutions. In this way Sabooto's green, Berlin green, vermilion, Japanese rod, cherry rod, cadmium yellow, zine white and certain organió colors are now ebtained on a commercial scale, and the list will doubtless be rapidly extended.

A cations mirage reported by Dr. C. G. Knott was soon in South Africa by members of a cadet corps. With the town of Worcester behind them, they saw about four miles off, apparently on the other side of the river, ressgnizable image of the town itself.

A strange phenomenon in a laud of strange natural bistory is the recent transformation of one of New Zealand's harmless insect eating birds into a fierce and ruel bird of prey. Less than forty years agy a number of curiously torn sheep were brought to the notice of some -farmers, and about the caressen were seen several specimens of the kes, a mountain parrot found.

Several other explosions that - oogarred in ohemiod works in 1906 have been investigated by Dr. M.
