DEEP SEA FISH.
How They See at Depth Where Daylight Has
Disappeared

The queerest thing about deep-sea crea-
lures is their arrangements for vision. Fish
that live at very great depths have either no
eyes at all or enormously big ones. Indeed,
there are two ways you may get on in these
gloomy abysses-by delicate touch organs
or by sight that collects the few rays of light
due to phosphorescence or other accidental
sources. Now, as we go down in the
water we find at each depth that the effects
produced upon the eyes of fish are steadily
progressive in one direction or the other.
Species that live at a depth of eighty faith
oms have the eye already a good deal big
ger than their nearest representatives that
live at or near the surface. Down to the
depth of 200 fathOms, where daylight dis
appears, the eyes get constantly bigger and
bigger. Beyond that depth smal-eved forms
set in, with long feelers developed to sup
plement the eyes Sight, in fact, is here
beginning to atrOphy. In the greatest
abysses the fish are mostly blind, feeling
their way about entirely by their sensitive
bodies alone over the naked surface of rock
at the bottom. Some of them have still eX-
ternal relics of functionless eyes; in others,
the oldest and most confirmed abysmal
species, the eye has altogether disappeared
externally, though its last representative
may still be recognized imbedded deep in
the tissues of the head.
But many deep-Sea fish have a curious
system of hollows in the skull or along a
iihe on Ine Douy wnica Secrete mueuS or
slime, and this slime often envelops them
completely, as III sheet of jelly, from head
to tail. Strange to say it is phosphor-
escent. Moreover, many other deep-sea
species have two sets of organs buried in
their skin, consisting of round, shining,
opalescent bodies, very closely resembling
mother of pearl. One sort are large and
oval, and are placed on the head, not far
from the eye the other kind are smaller
and arranged in a series along the body
and tail, pair usually answering to each
joint of the backbone. All of them
are abundantly supplied with nerves, and
they seem to be organs for the production
and, perhaps, also for the perception of
Dhosphorescent light. If so, we may sup
pose that each such fish goes about like a
string OF gl0w-worms, or train of lighted
cars, all the organs along his side or tail
shining family in the dark, somewhat after
the fashion of luminous paint. DIR. Gun
Their suggests that in certain cases the
phosphoreScence may be produced in a sort
of back chamber of the organ, and then
emitted in particular directions through the
lens In front, precisely as policeman flashes
his bulps-eye on any suspected poiDt.-Ths

LOOKING BACKWARDS,
The Antiquity Of Writing Among The PODUla.
ti0lO Of Arabia.

The discovery of the antiquity Of writing
among the populations of Arabia cannot
fail to influence the views that have been
current of late years in regard to the earlier
history of the Old Testament. We have
hitherto taken it for granted that the tribes
to whom the 1sraelites were related were il
iterate nomads, and that in Mi1an or Edom
the invaders of Palestine would have had no
opportunity OF making acquaintance with
books and written records. Before the time
of Samuel and David it has been strenu-
ously maintained that letters were unknown

be considerably modified. The ancient

was far more literary ones than we have
been accustomed to imagine; and as for
Canaan, the country in which the Israeites
settled. fought and intermarried, we now
have evidence that education was carried in
it to surprisingly high point. In the prnc
pal cities OF Palestine an active literary
correspondence was not only carried on
but was maintained by means of foreign
language, and an extremely complicated
script There must have been plenty OF
schools and teachers, as well as of pupils
and books

A SOLDIERS DUTIES.
Monotonous Life of an English Caviar

man in Barracks.
His duty is molotonous in the extreme :.
the same place; the same work; the same
comrades. He lives, works, moves in per-
petaal groove. In the ordinary course of
each week he has no holiday except Sun
day half holiday. On Saturday his so-ealled
halt-holiday drill simply gives place to IA
tigue duty. And Sunday morning is the
most Getestable time of all. Church parade

Several newspapers of the territory have
called attention to the subject, saying an
election for such officers would occur IN
January next. This was formerly the re-
quirement of the law, but it is 80 no
longer, chapter ll3 of the session laws OF
1889 having been amended by the last
legislature so as to bring the election OF
justices of the peace, constables and
school directors on the second Monday in
January "of every other year" mayordo-
mos OF acequias we're stricken out of this
act altogether and their election restored
to its former date in March. Section 2
of the amended act reads:
"The term of oaice of justices of the
peace, constables and school directors
elected to their respective Offices on the
second Monday in January A. D. 1891
shall expire on the first day OF February
A. D. 1893"
So that the election for justices, etc.
takes place one year hence.
