HUMAN TELESCOPES. ? . r:$ A RACK OF MEN WITH WOJtTVERi FUL POWERS OF VlSlO-V " I'lley Can Identify Objects at Great Distances?A Remarkable Instance of Long-Dls> tance Vision. . Y | yHERE is a race of mefl who I . can see as far with the naked I eye as an ordinary man can <5 with a telescope, v "Every, man his own telescope," might be applied with propriety to these fortunate persons. They live in a wild state in'the south of Africa, among the tribes of Bushmen. The name "bushman" is .an Anglicism of the Dutch word "Bjoaeman," meaning "man of the woods." These human telescopes have derived their extraordinary power of ^vision, according - to Mr. Herbert Spencer, throughnecessity. If it were not lor tnis tney mast nave long ago become extinct. They are remarkably small in statare for wild men, and they offer an. easy prey for the large fleroe beasts that infest certain parts of Southern Africa. And, on accOnnt of their diminutive size, they are not able to fight on equal terms with their warlike and larger proportioned neighbors; "JBusbmen," Bays Mr. Spencer, "have to guard against enemies, brute and human, and must be ever on the alert to kill or snare animals serving for iood. Toidentify distant moving aV ?.h floeontiol U UjOUWJ BO OUVU W . ViibAOiVA w VBOVUVMi* to the preservation of life. Here is one who, perhaps from some advantageous variation in ,the form of the lense?, or in the adjusting muscles, or in the retinal elements, has a. ,vision so keen that lie recognizes a man, or a lion, or a springbok when its distance is half a mile greater than that at which other persons can recognize it." v Traveler^ in the region of the longsiehted Bushmen, have reported some truly remarkable feats with the eyes. One day while an European was. walking in company with a friendly Bashman, the latter suddenly stopped, and pointing ahead in some alarm, exclaimed : "A lion." . The white man stared until hjs eyes ached.buthe could make out notning. Thinking that the native must have made a mistake, he insisted on going forward; through his companion urged him to retreat, r. Wheijt they had advanced a little furthur the Bushman again came to a halt and absolutely refused to go on another step, for, as he explained, he Gould distinguish not only a lion, but also a number of cubs. It would be very dangerous,' he said, to tamper with a lionesss. while nursing her cubs. Tfle European, nowever, biju unable to see a lion, much less the cubs, pusited on boldly. When he had advanced a quarter of a mile he saw an object moving slowly. along in the distance at the point to which the Bushman had diiected his gaze. Still doubting that, a human being could possess^ suoh marvelous powers of vision, he approached neater; and fin* ally'distinguished the form of a lion making leisurely for a line of timber. The limit of a man's power of vision is established by necessity.; Ii our existence depended on our ability to see twice as far as. we do, this additional power would be acquired by practice. Deerslayer, of "Leather. Stocking" fame, surprised every one by-his long-sightedness. Probably he could see further than these Bushmen,' but he was a fiction character. All woodsmen, and as a general thing all persons living an outdoor life, give their eyes practice at long range, which ultimately makes their accuracy of sight seem wonderfalto a man Who never uses his eyes except to read. A man with the eyesight of a Bush* mas, aided by the immense Lick telescope, might be able easily to ?bell all about the canals of Mara and settle at onoe the mnoh vexed question as ,to whether that planet is inhabited. To a person so gifted, Mars wonld appear many times clearer and nearer than to a man of ordinary vision.?New York Woild. A Gum Hooter. Jobnathan has been into the woods eighteen seasons, and his occupation there has been gathering sprnoe gum. He builds a cabin in the fall when he' is abont to begin work in a new territory. It is generally a small one, bat he takes great pains to make it one that can easily be kept warm. One year he passed five months without seeing a human being, and at the end of that time he found that another man had beeu in a camp lees than two miles from him all winter. They did not see each other's tracks, for.the reason that the other fellow was trapping, and confined his journeyings to a valley where a large stream and its branches gave him a field for his operations. Two miles away Mr. Stone lived in his little camp on the edge of a big spruce growth, and in following this he went away from instead of toward his neighbor, the trapper. When they had finished their season's work and got acquainted coming ont, they told each other of the lonesome evenings passed in tbeir respective camps.? Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
