MARKED DOGS EYES.
An Explanation Wanted of the Presence
of These Tau spots.


Can any Of your readers explain the
meaning of the tan spot; seen so COM
monty over tho eyes IN black and tan
dogs Of most brccds3
When in Mclbouyno last year. l went
carefully over an 49, dogs in a show
with one Of the soeyerl., and we found
the spots in an tho black and tan ter.
riers, foxhounds, deorAounds, collies,
lurchers, etc, bat ] could get no infor-
nation regarding them from the ex.
pcrts.
In some ~ the highly bred toy dogs,
as the small black and tan terriers, l
found on inquiry that these spots, for
merly so very conspicuous, woro being
bred out and had nearly disappeared.
Their persistence through SO many
strongly marked varieties, except those
of late date, is singular, for there is
fairly good proof that when first domcs-
ticated the dog was red or brown, like
the pariah, dingo, etc.
AS far rs | can see, we do not find
the spots white ON black or dark
ground, nor yet black or dark ON o
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-
tective and simulate eyes.
One morning, just at dawn, had &C.
casion to 20 out into the garden, and
whilo STOPPING to examine some flowers,
near a fence partly covered with creep.

looking through, and what seemed TO DO
two seemingly large and ferocious
black eyes glared at me. Suspecting
that a black leopard was about to spring
over, l started back, clapped my hands
and shouted. To my relief, however, /
saw a tail wag and found that the spec
tator was q cooly's dog i knew very
we'll and which recognized me. The
use Of tho tan spots-in this case at
least-then occurred to me.
May it not be that the spots thus
serve a protective purpose and have Of
ten saved the lives Of dogs (black dogs
from their enemies, the smaller folinos,
such as the clouded leopard, ETC.? Per-
haps the matter is not new, but if it is
it seems worth looking into.

The Donkey Vanished.

In general we may say that the dom
keys belong to vanishing state of hui
man culture TO tho time before carriage
ways existed. Now that civilization
goes on wheels they seem likely to have
al ever decreasing value. A century
ago they were almost everywhere in
common use. At the present timo there
nre probably millions Of people in the
United States to whom the animal is

New York was firm and led the market in the advance. ous and of fair size.

 Corn-BusineSs in corn was sadly in need Of revival It looks as though the bears were of the opinion that prices could not very well stand further loss, whilst the bulls or those who would espouse that cause feel that there was no possible chance of any material advance taking place. May corn opened at 29c, advanced to 291acs and closed at 29asc bid Ac higher than yesterday Cash corn was steady, closing firm.
 Oats managed to struggle through the session without aflording buyers or sellers any remarkable advantage. When the re- turn in wheat occurred moderate advance took place, but 1t was unaccompanied by activity. May oats closed AQ3ac higher Cash oats were easy to Ac lower.
