HUMAN TELESCOPES.

A RACK OF MEN WITH WOJtTVERi

<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

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

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.)
