Very curious data have ‘been collect- ed in regard to the seeing powers of insects, The human in perfect condition is sable to objects sepa- rately that are only one minute of arc apart, Put two objects, as, for in. stance, two black circles, on a white ground just one Inch apart and then place them at a distance of about 28614 feet, As seen with the naked eye the apparent: space between the circles will be a minute of are. This space i8 plainly the limit of detall vis- ible to the unassisted human eye, Now it might be supposed that an insect, having a compound eye, would be able to see more detail than we do; in other words, could separate small objects closer together. As a matter of fact, owing to the small aperture of the lenses composing the facets of the eve, and the spacing between the facets, insects see less detall than we do. It has been énlculated that a dragon. fiy cannot see separately two objects eve Bee apart. In other words, to such sn in- sect two silver coins lying on a three inches apart, and viewed from a | distance exceeding 14% feet, would appear as a single object.” Bees and flies, same investigator, are still more ited in their ablilty to see the of objects presented to their eyes.
