Of course the difference in many cases la so great that It has to be artificially corrected. In many cased, too, the pupils of the two eyes vary quite considerably In

Shortsightedness. It has been proved, la more common among people with light colored eyes than those with dark. At the same time, among gray eyed persons are found those with the most powerful sense of vision of any. Muscular fatigue of the eye can be measured by the number of involuntary eyelid movements, or bUnka, mi per minute. Bead by candlelight other Insufficient Illumination and you will find yourself blinking seven times a minute. In ordinary gaslight you blink about three times a minute, but If you work In softened daylight or by powerful yet shaded electric light your eye tires so slightly that you do not blink more than once In thirty or thir-ty-five seconds. The eyelashes give moot useful aid In sbadlug the eyes. The average son has 100 or 130 hairs on the upper lid and 80 or 100 on the lower day. 450 to 500 lashr* In all. The eyelashes are not permanent They are constantly falling out growing again and are entirely newed at least three times a year Along thelp edges the eyellda are provided with a little oily accretion. Just sufficient to keep the tears, which wash and keep clean the eyes, from overflowing. Eyebrows which grow thick and dark are a very sure sign of a good constitution and physical endurance. If they are lighter than the lialr. they lndl'-e*» lack of vitality. The nose, so far as appearance goes. Is the most Important feature of the face, and few people are aware of bow much Its eventual shape de|>eods on character and profession. At tan a boy’s nose may be a “pug" pure and simple, at fifteen It may be almost Greek, and at twenty-five It may have developed a powerful bridge and become practically Roman. Almost every great general who ever lived, from Alexander the Great to Wellington and General Grant, had a Roman nose. It is to the delicate nerves of smell In the nose that we owe our appreciation of a well cooked dinner and fine wine. The palate has comparatively little to do with It. We have no special .reason to be proud of our ears. The human ear Is Infinitely Inferior to the movable, funnel shaped ear trumpet possessed by the hone, by cattle or even by the rabbit or bare. Both men and apes have lost the power of moving their external ears, and there are many sounds, such as the squeak of a bat. which are absolutely beyond the compass of the human auditory apparatus. Tbara is one peculiar point about the can. Of all our features, they are those moat likely to be exactly similar In size and W* hare already mentioned that the two eyes of one Individual are vary seldom alike. The same may be said of tbs face as a whole. Only 2 par cent of the whole human race are poaaaaaed of absolutely symmetrical faces.

IrTMuarflF VISION. Maw Far Can tbs Nc-msl Sys Ssa aa •trarted. Yet we cau see tbu stare, fU+kh -fare trhtluus of miles sway..

c-aunot sec a Ires twenty tulles distant- Wh,v? It Is Aft objects tllmlulah In apparent alas In a direct proportion to distance, but that la not the only re...-uu The chief reason Is that our vision la obstructed hy the curvature of the earth- A wrll tr In Popular Science News gives so.ii Dgunw to show how groat thla curva lure la. II la often a matter of Interest and Importance to know how far w< see from any given height or. vereely. bow far one moat he above the earth to see an object at a given distance. The exact calculation of these figures would require the very complex formulas, but for practical use two very simple rules will suffice. The distance In miles at which object upon the surface of the earth la visible Is equal to the square root of one and oue-half times the height of the observer In feet above the surface and conversely. The height In feet to which an observer must be placed to see a distinct object 1* equal to two-thirds the square of the distance In miles. For instance. If the olwerver Is In the rigging of a ship 1UU foot above the water, bow far distant Is the horizon—that la. bow fir could an object floating In the water be visible la-fore being hidden by the convexity of the earth? One and half times 100 Is 130. and the square root of 130 I* approximately twelve and one-half: therefore the borlxon twelve and one half miles distant. As the deck of smaller vessels, like pleasure yachts, to rarely ten feet above the water. It follows that the limit of vision from that point to less than four miles In every direc-

tion.

An Illustration of the second rule may be given as follows: A building ' thirty-three miles away. How high hill must one climb lu order to be able to see It? As the square of the dl* tance equals l.COU and two-thirds of that number equals TJC. It follows that we roust climb s hill T2C feet high be fore we are a Me even with tbe most powerful telescope. Usually, however, tbe height of the Object uk well as that of the ’ er muxt be taken into eutnaderation, but this simply requires the duplication of the problem. For Instance, the Washington monument Is 532 feet high. At what height must an observer fifty miles away be la order sec tbe top of It? Supposing the ot> server to stand upon the ground, ws find by the first rule that he could Just see the top twenty-nine miles away, and lo overcome the remaining twenty-one miles, due to tbe convexity of the earth, be would by rule secom have to climb to tbe height of 2JH feet If we apply similar calculations ti the Eiflcl tower, tbe highest artificial structure In tbe world, we obtain some Interesting results. Assuming the height to he Just 1.000 feet that standing at tbe top. we enjoy a circle of vUioo hounded by thirty-nine mites distant and that If another similar tower should ever be erected It could be placed over seven ty-eight miles away before the rays of tbe electric lights on their summits would be ecll|ioed by the Intervening earth. From the summit of Mount Everest In the Himalayas (17.000 feet), one could see nearly 200 mile*, provided the air was clear enough, which would rarely be the case.
