Two 1886 Gold Medals.

Messrs. Mason & Hamlin again have the distinguished honor of having been awarded the highest gold medals over all exhibitors, American and European, both at Edinburgh and at Liverpool, the two most important exhibitions of the year 1886. Since the first great Paris Exhibition of 1867, the Mason & Hamlin Organs have invariably received the highest honors at all great world’s exhibitions. The eye of the horsefly is made up of hundreds of separate lenses, those in the upper part of the eye being larger than the lenses below the median line? Practically the horsefly has two kinds of vision, telescopic or long sight lenses above the median line, and microscopic or short sight lenses below the median line. Thus lie ~ can adjust his vision to circumstances without the ad of glasses.— Dr. Foote’s Health Monthly.
