Eyes of Deep-Sea Fish.

From Chambers JournaL
The eyes of deep-sea fish are very var
led; some have neither eyes nor sight
others have greatly enlarged eyebals. so
as to catch the least glimpse of light
Their eyes tend either to disappear or to be
unusually efficient: but since no trace of
sunlight can penetrate to any great depth.
and 1t is probably quite dark beyond a
depth Of some 200 fathoms. Of what Use
can eyes be?
Fish have been captured at depth Of
nearly 1900 fathoms, where there must be
not only absolute stiffness. put also total
darkness, except for the fact ;hat some of
these deep-sea creatures are phCsphores-
cent. and therefore luminous. This fact
was first ascertained in the Challenger tx-
petition Since then Mr.. Alco:k OF The In
dian marine survey has found hat some
deep-sea crustaceans have a similar power.
one large prawn quite lighting mp a backet-
full of water i'm which IL was Placed. Fish
with large eyes have therefore letter
chance OF finding food. (ani mates,. but
they cannot wholly depend upon s,2ht.
since some have quite abandoned al at
tempts to see.
Some, again. have luminous organs on
their head or body or tail. which are Under
their control 50 that they can actually
throw light at pleasure on their prey on
extinKuish II in times Of danger. Thus the
angler, among others. attracts IT'S Prey by
means Of these colored lures or phosphores-
cent lights. II has been well SAID that
these vast profounds OF the deep have be
come a sort Of almshouse or asylum. where
unto antiouated forms have retired. and
amid the changeless environment have
dwelt for ages unaltered."

BITTEN BY A MAD DOG.
A Boy Taken to the Pasteur Institute

-NuI1n8 DO&o AT hene1nRtOn.
For a couple Of months past there have
been an unusual number Of cases OF rabies
among the dogs throughout Montgomery
county, and II has been necessary to kill
several of these CANNES who were suspect
ed Of being mad. Until yesterday. however,
there were no serious results reported from
these cases. Yesterday there was a serious
mishap Of this sort. the young son Of a
well-known newspaper man of this city be-
ing badly bitten by dog who was thought
to be suffering from rabies.
The boy. who is about eleven years of
age. was at kensington. Nd, spending the
day with his mother at a summer place there
when he was attacked by a stray dog that
was running through the place. He was
badly bitten and the services Of a neigh
boring physician were at once called in
The wound was carefully dressed, but the
doctor expressed the opinion that the dog
was surely mad.
alarmed about the accident and its possible
results. and they left with him this morning
for New York, where he will be placed in
the Pasteur institute for thorough course
of treatment. This same small boy was
badly bitten in the face last year by a large
dog in this city. but. fortunately, there were
no serious results from that experience.
The dog which did the damage yesterday
was killed shortly afterward, but there was
to have bitten upward Of a dozen other
dogs before he was put 10 death. All the
dogs that were known to have been bitten
We're killed this morning, and active meas
ures are being taken to stamp out the trou-
BILE wherever 1t exists.
