Solving the Mystery of
Sight.
One of the problems of the lunnan
body which Lave long puzzled scient-
ists is the exact means whereby
"sights" are) carried through the eye-
ball and the nerve to the sight -centre
in the brain. In other words, how do
• we see?
The eye is a most remarkable
camera. It ie a roundish ball made of
dense and strong fibrous tissue,
opaque for fiveeixthe of its surface,
but transparent in the one-sixth which
bulges out in front.
There is a delicate curtain which
hangs over the tra,rksparent "window,"
or pupiL in front, and forms the vari-
ously colored iris --the circle wheelie
surrounds the pupil. Tb.is curtain is a
wonderful arrangement for adapting
the eye to the intensity of Iight which
falls on it, and it can almost close the
opening in a, strong light, or open it
wide when the light is fainter. The
"iris diaphragm" with which the
photographer regulates the entrance
of light into his camera is merely a
poor imitation of it.
• 3.VIoreover it contains pigment cells,
which -may be crowded when the light
is strang or fewer in number when the
eye wants as much light as possible. So
we get the black eyes (eyes aeoh in
pigment, to mitigate the light) of the
south.erner, the blue eyes (with little
pigment) of the devellee in thedarker
northern lands, and intermediate

Behind the circular window—the
pupil—is the crystalline Jena., which
can be altered by fine tamales, so as
to foeuet itself for any distance. Other
monies and teadoos are attached to
the outside of the eyeball., and they
automatically tura it in the &rec.-teen
we want.
• But the most wendereul part of the
eye le the "setisiteve plate" at the back
oil the eyeball. A ' senal-transparent
membrane, which we call the retina,
lines three-fourths ef the interior of
the eyeball (which is filled with fluid)

i
An Event From Canadian History.
The fairies danced out of the moun-
tain valley. •They were coming from
their =naval which had been held
at sunset, for in the mountains, then,
there were no mortals, so the fairies
could be out at any time. As each
dainty being passed through the gate
to Elfland she waved her wand, cast-
ing a spell on the outside world, and
• so, clisappeaxed. •
In this place they had surely spent
their ,charm. The wild cataract leapt
on its melees way, (ladling, here over
the rocks-, daehing there under an
over -banging boulder, and now rush-
,
mg on as hemg pursued by some
evil spirit. The bewitched waters
played with the shadows cast by the
tatil trees The enchenteel Pines rose
to seeriderly to meet the blue, elottdlese
sky. They noacie,d .aaid bowed to each
other. 8ometimes a tall evergreen
would lean over and whisper a seeret
to another. Then all would hill and
croon as a young mother lueliabies her
firsteboen to sleep. The soft summer
breeze played in and mit between the
trees. Far off one could see the rna-
jestie, snorwecapped Rockies, now all
flushed with the red and golden. sun-
set.• To this enchanted place came
Shat giant red mate, as the aboeigines
of North America who, rather that
accept jenerneyed to the
West. Now beside those sweet-smell.-
ing forest streams, instead of the
fairies', Indian. lovers would eonui. In
between the whispering pines the
dian girls would wander. The savage,
•Ieloiod-thersty chiefs, instead of looidtg
foe a white inlet to setapi world climb
the- great motietaina where even one
eels° step would da.sh him into
etermty.
Here Minehalla lived with her father
Pocono, one of the young chiefs of the
Metes, and her mother. One day while' f
Minehaha was bringing wood into the
wigwam her attention was dram to-
ward Men whom she knew. were not
Indians. Potono went over to them
and. mach was his concern when he
found that they had been sent by the c
Government to ,s.uevey tbe land. Then t
more white men came. These white 1.)
men killed the buffalo, which ....Darned
