MAN OF FUTURE MAY
IE BUT ONE EYE
Nose Alone Is Hindering Evolution
of the Race to Cyclop-eanlsm.
BELIEVES INCREASE IN
POPULATION WILL BE LESS
.ITIUCA, N. Y. .Sept. 30. Tlio
porfei-t man of tlio unlleuium period
will have but one eye. lie will bo cv
clopean, like the fabled creature in
Greek mythology. The one eye uinv
be located in the middle of the fore
head. Were it not that the nose
hides from the right eye a consider
able part of the world to tho left
side, it is probable that the trend
toward a single of cyclopean eye
would be greater than it is at pres
ent. Such are the astonishing con
clusions of Professor George M.
Gould of Ithaca, who has given
many years to the study of the eye
Of the drift of the human race
toward one-eyeduess. or cyclopenn
ism, Dr. Gould says: in the localiza
tion of the speech and writing center
of the brain, and of the origin of
right-handedness the blunder of those
who preach ambidexteronsncss. or
both-haudedness, is as malifieient as
may be easily be imagined.
'"In reference to the disadvantage
of a high nasal bridge in man, it
should be noted that the oriental
types have a higher wall between the
eyes than the Teutonic races, who
are now the chief carriers of an ad
vancing civilation.
An Ancient Statuary.
"In the statues of the classic
Greek and Roman sculptors, the line
of the nasal crest, joining the tip of
nose and the forehead is a straigh!
one.
The eyes of the primeval types of
life, Dr. Gould says, looked outward
one from the other in divergent lines
of vision. Man, 'through a long range
of evolutionary types, is approach
ing parallelism of vision with his
two eyes looking out in two close
parallel directions, in which each
field of vis-ion is partly included in
the other. This has brought about
changes in the bones and skull. The
more divergent the eyes, the more
gregarious, the more cowardly the
animal. When the ancestral man be
gan to walk upright his eyes had to
modify their functions and their
structure, and this brought about
changes in the shape of the face and
head.
Since Man Began to Walk Upright.
There was in the lower types of
life he says little looking ahead of
tlie eyes. This, and the advance to
ward parallelism, began to come when
the animal called man commenced to
stand upright and use his fore limbs
for special tasks. With the verti
cal posture came right-handedness
and left handedness, parallelism of
the optic axis and the power to
sweep the eyes in all directions. The
latest' complication of the visual
functions is a direct result of right
handedness. With dangerous or del
icate tasks one eye must dominate.
The writing and speaking centers are
in but one hemisphere of the brain.
In the right handed person the
writing and speaking center is in the
right hemisphere. It is, wrong and
useless, says Dr. Gould, to try to
make a righted child write with the
left hand, inasmuch as It is merely
obeying the right handed impulse,
or function, of its brain. . There is
scarcely one perfect pair of eyes in
the world, he says, chiefly because,
since man began to walk upright, he
has had to wink his eyes much fast
er, and the lids have not learned to
work perfectly. The cornea is warp
ed by the pressure of the lid. and a
greater or lesser-degree of astig
matism results.
llUOAtiO. Sept. :0. Professor
lirighum of I'olgato university
Vrstles with the problem of the cap
acity of the United Stales for-pop
ulation. That the rapid increaso of
tho past will bo continued he does
not believe. Tho higher the type, the
less numerous the offspring, he
takes as a permanent law of nature;
though a comparative counter-tendency
may for a time be induced by
improved sanitary conditions and
the triumphs of medical science over
disease. Tho increase from immi
gration will naturally decline But
for tho theory we can support a
great population he finds ample ar
gument. Au improved domestic
science and economy will actually
utilize a far higher percentage of the
food vnlue of products now con
sumed. The productive power of the
laud now under cultivation will be
enlarged by intelligent application of
scientific knowledge. Immense new
areas will be made productive and
profitable. Irrigation will add large
tracts now unused from lack of
moisture, and Professor Brigham
might have added that methods of
conserving the little moisture thai
does fall have already laid the
land that has heretofore been con
sidered as arid. Scientific forest
conservation, as well as the ncrenseo
use of other sources of building ma
terial, will also add materially to
the area which may be utilized for
food supply, and a much larger
addition will come from the drainage
of the enormous areas of marsh
land as yet unproductive. All in all,
the first severe pressure may come,
not upon the food supply, but upon
the stock of some other of earth
products, seemingly necessary to a
civilized population such ns iron..

their efforts somewhat languidly,

the inordinate cost of making uso of
