SONG

There's beauty In the dawning light;
And twilight fair, or starlit night,
Has each its charm and grace;
But loveIier still on earth to me
The fairest thing my eye can Sec
The beauty of thy face.
There's calmness on the oceans breast
AS deep and blue 1t seems to rest
Meath bluer heavens above;
But deeper, ealmer, still to me
Than ever sea or sky can be,
Thine azure eyes. my love.
There's music In the running stream
And music when the woodlands seem
Awake with songs of birds;
But sweetef; dearer still TO me
Than natures voice can ever be,
The music of thy words.
&c. Roxby, in Chambers Journal

NAKED DOGS, EYES
An Explanation Wanted of the Presencs
of These Tan Spots.

of These Tan Spots.
Can any Of your readers explain the
meaning of che tan spots seen SO COM
monty over the eyes in black and tan
aogs of most larteds?
When in Melbourne last year, I went
carefully over all the dogs in show
with one of the stewards, and we found
the spots in all the black and tan ter
riers, foxhounds, deerhounds, collies,
lurchers, etc., but could get no infos'
nation regarding them from the ex.
perts.
In some of the highly bred toy dogs
rs the small black and tan terriers,
found on inquiry that these spots, for
merly SO very conspicuous, were being
bred out and had nearly disappeared
Their persistence through SO many
strongly marked varieties, except those
of late date, is singular, for there Ia
fairly good proof that when first domes-
ticated the dog was req or brown, like
he pariah, dingo etc.
As far as | can see, we do not find
ene spots white on a black or dark
white or light ground. My explanation
is that they have arisen as permanent
marking after the dogs 'sported' to
black under domestication and have
been preserved and developed through
natural selection. Possibly they are pro-
sective and simulate eyes.
One morning, just at dawn, I had CO.
easion to go out into the garden, and
while STOPPING to examine some flowers,
near fence partly covered with creep
ers, suddenly saw an animals head
looking through, and what seemed to be
two seemingly large and feroeious
black eyes glared at me. Suspecting
that black leopard was about to spring
over, started back, clapped my hands
and shouted. TT my relief, however, !
saw tail wag and found that the spec
tator was cooly's dog l knew very
well and which recognized me. The
use of the tan spots-in this case at
least-then occurred to me.
May it not be that the spots thus
serve protective purpose and have of
ten saved the lives of dogs (blaok dogs
from their enemies, the smaller felines,
such as the olouded leopard, ETC.? Per
haps the matter is not new, but if it is
it seems worth looking into.
l have several dogs about here now
with black bodies and heads. Tho tan
spots, rather pale, are of the size of
shilling. l have shot one, keeping the
