From the large size of the parietal foramen in Tritylodon, which greatly exceeds that of any of the recent lizards in actual diameter, and com pares with that of the labyrinthodonts .and saurian». Professor Osborn infers that the primitive mammalia, of this family at least, bad a pineal eye of some functional size and value. The facts here recorded are consid ered of remarkable interest to scientists, add ing, as they do, to the rapidly accumulating evidence for the reptilian ancestry of the mammals. ________ Why Colors Cannot bo Photographed. Photography has never reproduced natural colors. Scientists explain this fact by the statement that color has no objective exis tence. It is simply the brain’s interpretation of the rapidity with which the waves of a ray of light beat against the retina. Beats mors rapid produce the sensation of the mind known as violet; lieats le&j rapid, that known as red. Violet and red are nothing but vibra tions of the ether until they reach the optic nerve and communicate to that the vibrations which the brain translates. To photograph color to therefore a* impossible as to photo graph sound. __________ Disappearance of an Island. According to the official newspaper of ths Farve islands, the rock island of Munks*, south of Bumbo, has sunk out of sight In a word, one of the most striking objects in the Farve group, which has been sailed past and admired by thousands of people and played an important part in geographical literature, has disappeared. It once stood seventy feet above the level of the sea, but the rock gradually crumbled away so that the tide washed over «its surface. The shallow waters around the island formed dangerous currents, with eddies, or inaetotroms, which were mock dreaded by mariners. 1 , 4
