CHILDREN’S SIGHT
Children with normal eyesight or
with moderate defects see better da
they grew older. Sneller’s e> e teat,
given to 9.245 children, showed that
the percentage of children with nor
mat vision increased as the children
grew older and the percentages of
those with minor defects decreased,
the New York World says. The num-
ber yf children with markedly defec-
tive vision increased, however, with

Whale.
The sperm whale could swallow a
man. It grows to a'length of 00 feet
and l.ias an enormous head, which
amounts to about halt Its bulk and a
third of Its length. Its threat Is
broad enough to allow It to swallow a
man. Toe sperm whale Is found chief-
ly in southern waters, and In consid-
erable numbers In! the vicinity of New
Zealand. Occasionally, though. It Is
met with as far north as the Arctic.
One of a number of important points
that distinguish If from other whales
is that It has teeth. The throat of
most varieties of whales are com-
paratively small—not more than four
or five inches across. • <
