JAPANESE TYPES.

two Distinct Glasses of FhysioSnomy
Among Japan's Inhabitants.
There are two totally distinct types
in Japan, which may almost be said to
DE each others opposites. The first.
which the japanese themselves call the
Chinese or Corean, is the more COM
mon. Those belonging to it; says Har-
per's Weekly, have round faces, fat
noses. full cheeks, rather thick lips
very pretty ones often-and very good
white teeth. Those belonging to the
second, or true japanese type, have
long and comparatively pale faces,
noses arched like the beak of a bird,
thin lips, large eyes, with not very
strongly marked eyebrows, and teeth
mostly good, always very white, but
often long and irregular. This is the
aristocratic type, which, when at its
best, is really worthy Of admiration
To be called handsome a japanese
must belonk1o it, while those of the
Chinese cast of countenance are never
more than pretty.
Strange to say, the meral character
of the sections of the community differs

SIGHT IN EARTHWORMS.
Senses Possessed by the Supposedly Sense
less Creatures.

Senses Possessed by the Supposedly Sense.
less Creatures.
James Weir, Jr., in a curious little
study in evolution, shows that all the
five senses of man are found in the
lower forms of animal life. Darwin,
while admitting that earthworms are
sensible to light. maintains that they
are blind. Weir, in the North Ameri-
can Review, maintains the contrary.
He says that the circumscribed spots
on the dorsal surface of the worm are
primitive eyes. The microscope re-
vaals in these spots transparent mem
brane, an accumulation of pigmentary
matter, q special nerve spread out in
this matter and extending to the CEN
trail nerve structure. The membrane
is the cornea, the pigmentary matter
retina, and the special nerve an optic
nerve. As there is no lens the worm
can distinguish only light and dark
ness. The arrangements for the sense
of touch sre not materially different
from those in man. The sense which
they are without is that Of hearing,
but sound waves are conveyed to the
sensorium through the sense Of touch.
That worms have taste and smell can
be proved by experiments with food.
As to smell, put musk near them and
it is amusing to see them hunting their
holes to escape it. THE nerves of
taste and smell are blended together,
and can readily be made out with the
microscope in the lips, SO to speak, Of

THE VENICE OF AFRICA.
A Town That IL Built Upon Three Cora
Islands.


Islands.
The Italians, says q recent writer,
are fond of comparing Massowah to
Venice. The town is built of three
coral islets close to the mainland. Dur
ing late years considerable number
of Italian buildings have arisen among
the ruins of the Egyptian occupation;
the white Egyptian palace, built by
the unfortunate Arakei Pasha, who
fell at Gudda Guddi, fighting against
the Abyssinians, on December 16, 1878,
is now the residence of the Italian gov
ernor; adjoining it is a very pretty mil
itary club, with an open-air theater;
water surrounds you on every side. and
steamy, enervating heat makes life
burden to those who have just come
from more bracing chimes; yet, strange
to say, Massowah is by no means un-
healthy, fevers are rare; bugs, 6eas
and other vermin-alas! too common
on the high plateau-are unknown
here; there is no vegetation to decay
and cause malaria.
The only difficulty with which Ital-
ian officers have to contend is debility
and anamia, which is at once removed
by residence of few weeks on the
high plateau, or few months leave
in Europe; in fact, they say that Mas
sowah is healthier than any of their
military stations at home. If Masso-
wah is infinitely inferior to Venice in
its external appearance, it is infinitely
more beautiful in its surroundings.
The mighty Abyssinian mountains ap-
proach quite close to the coast line at
this point, and from stupendous and
lovely background to the town.
