Recent research has shown that about half of the fibersof the optic nerve crossover in the substation known as the chiasm, and proceed to the occipital lobe on the opposite side of the brain. The other half of the nerve continues along to the occipital lobe on the same side. In the. lower vertebrates, such as fishes, snakes and most birds, the crossing of the optic fibers is con-,. plete, so that it would appear that the visual center on one side of the head is concerned wholly with thee. eye on the opposite side. However, the higher an animal is in the scale of development, the less complete, is the crossing of optic nerve fibers. In rein there is a larger part of the optic nerve 'going to the same side of the brain than in any other animal. Just why the nerve telephones be- tween eye and brain are so arranged in man is not known, continues the institute, adding however, that it is believed that,; this partial decussa- tion may have an important bearing upon man's binocular vision. Al- -though we see things twice with two eyes, there is only one visual sensa- tion in the brain. - U. S. Sericulturist Develops New Mulberry Tree A United States research special- ist in sericulture has developed a new strain of mulberry tree which he believes will contribute to cul- ture of silk in the other Americas. The specialist is Dr. Vartan K. Osigian, who returned recently to Washington from Venezuela, where some 2,500,000 trees of the new strain which bears his name—Mo- rers Osigian—are growing on seven plantations. Silkworms feed on mul- berry leaves. According to Dr. Osigian, the mul- berry tree he has developed pro- duces a crop of leaves in six months —leaves which he says are more tender, have more sap and are six to eight times as large as the usual leaf. Dr. Osigian explained that the silkworm has five senses and is dis- criminating in its choice of food. The baby larvae prefer chopped leaves. Dr. - Osigian staid a' silk worm placed on the usual leaf will go to one from the new type of tree placed nearby. - Dr. Osigian claims that the silk- worms feeding on the new type of mulberry tree form cocoons larger than usual, producing about 3,000 yards of silk filament instead of the 1,000 to 1,500 yards usually pro- ' duced. Tax Revenues The federal government fared con- siderably better than the states if the revenue picture of the last two calendar years is viewed exclusive- ly, in terms of the three major ex- else taxes—cigarette, gasoline and alcoholic beverages'—levied by both levels of governmerfl. Taken together the three taxes yieldedthe federal government $2,510,000,000 in 1943 as compared with $2,340,000,000 in 1942, an in- crease of 7.5 per cent. The states' yield from these sources was $1,180,- 000,000 in 1943 as compared with $1,550,000,000 in 1942, a decline in collections of 23.9 per cent. When individual taxes were con- sidered in terms of total revenue for both levels of government, only the cigarette tax succeeded in bring- ing in more money in 1943 than in 1942. This was the result largely of: a rile in federal rates, the addition in 1943 of Delaware, Florida and New Mexico to the list of states tax- ing tobacco, and a few changes in state sates. Raining Frogs Possibly small reptiles, fishes and other small forms of life may be drawn up in a waterspout and dropped, but an, actual rain' of• rep- tiles is ,,not a matter of scientific record. Weather bureau reports show that in some parts of the country frogs have been observed as falling during a rainstorm, but the explanation is that frogs were drawn up in a wa- terspout or vortex of whirling storm from a pond and carried some . dis- tance before being , precipitated. Moreover, during a protracted peri- od of dry weather, frogs and toads Miry themselves in the earth, dig- ging down in search of water and relief from heat. Following a heavy rainfall they emerge from the ground .and persons seeing them hopping about, themselves hop to the conclusion that the frogs rained ' Sown. , ANT Seasonal. or For Factor During T�mato Sea&orsi Begiuning about September 1 Make Application To Libby,McNeill & Libbj Chatham, Ontario EvenMore Food is Needed NOW ,T rk The Nelsen Deat h Camp Picture taken in, the huge concen- tration camp at Belsen, where British troops who entered t• e e<•mp on April'l5th found 60,000 men, women and -eh -Wren dying of starvation an 1 disease.
