Eyes That Chino at Night. .
The gleam of a cat's eyes when a
light catches them in the darkness sp-
pssi-s to be due to.redection from a
mirror. In some beetles and moths
the eyes shine like rubles when they
are obliquely lllumlned at night. Pro-
fessor Bugnion has recently studied the
eyes of one of the hawk moths and
finds that the retina is very thick and
infiltrated with a rose colored pigment, '
“orythropsin.” Part of the retina
form a tupetunl, and the reflection is
due to a network of silvery air tubes,
or tracheae, helped to some extent by
movement or the retinal pigment.

general usefulness of the bird is such,

of killing them is determined on.
