a a ted that »hc shortage of provision*
v»ould have the effect of delaying ths

its future looked b?ight~never*heless,
ind notwithstanding the statement*
made by many who paid flying visits
c.o the territory and ran away without
having spent time enough in the coun

i i

Tho beat eyesight is possessed by
those whoso lands are vast- and bar
roil, and whoso obstacles tending t#
shorten the sight are few. Eskimos
will detect a white fox in the snow at
a groat distance. The Arabs of th#
dosert of Africa have such extreme
powers of vision that on the vast
plains of tho desort they will pick out
objects invisible to tho ordinary ey#
at ranges of from one to ten miles.
Among civilized people the Norweg
