QUEER CoDFIsH EYES.
Changes Which They Undergo When Ex-
 posed to Strong Light. s

Changes w men Ihey undergo when fS-
 posed to Strong Light. Q
 Several large cod are kept in one of the tanks of the Amsterdam aquarium, nec- essariy near to the surface, and, there fore, exposed to strong light from above. Now the cod, though not "deep sea" fish, is not a surface swimmer, and lives at depths where the sunlight must be very much modified by passage through the water. It lives in what to us would be semi-dar6ness. Every one of these cod exposed to the strong light is suffering from an extraordinary hyper trophy of the eye. The whole organ has become overgrown, as if in the effort to adjust itself to the use of more light rays, 1t had become overequipped and then use less. The cod, in fact, are bl!nd says a writer in the Philadelphia Press.
 The most interesting feature in this change is the extraordinary rapidity with which increased supply of light rays has overdeveloped the organ for it's usef It has taken place, not by slow degrees, from individual to individual, but in a course of time to be measured by months, and in every individual in the tank. If this example is a measure of the rapidity with which such changes take place among fish the adaptation of those creat- ures which have migrated from the shall low waters to the deep seas, shown by the total loss of enormous development of their eyes, and the growth of ilumi- hating organs to light the abyss, may have been as rapid as it is marvellous.

ENTHUSIASM IN BlBB
Manifested in the Congressional Primaries. All for Underwood, of Course-Gold
 Men Take Hold Heartily.

Centreville, Aug. 1S.-(Special Cor respondence9-The democratic party in Bibb is in splendid shape and one of the most marked effects of the recent vic- tory in this county was seen in the un-. usually large turneuts at the beat meet ings throughout the county Saturday.

HAVE THEY ASTRAL BODIES2
Gentlemen Reported as Present in Madison Square Garden Who Are Known to es Have Been at Home.

Montgomery. Aug. 19.-(Special9-The press report from New York which gave an account of the proceedings of the Madison Square sound money meeting last night stated that Governor Jones, Thomas H. Clark Maj. w. w. Screws and Capt. J. M. FalSner of Alabama oc- cupied seats on the platform during the meeting. The statement is without foundation, unless it is that the gen. tlemen are ubiquitous The handsome faces of the three first named gentle men were seen on the streets here today and yesterday by thousands of reliable citizens, and Captain Falkner is known to be in Chicago.
 The democrats here have figured 1t out that the Madison Square meeting was short in attendance, and the reporters in sympathy were forced to the embar- rassment of counting as present not only those who were present in person, but likewise those who were supposed to be present in spirit

THE SEARCH CONTINUED
For the Perpetrator of the Crime at Battles
 Wharf,

For the Perpetrator Of the Crime at Battle s
 Wharf.
 Mobile Register.
 All day Sunday and yesterday the search through the woods of Baldwin county was continued for the criminal who assaulted little Melville Tucker.
 The search was participated in by scores of determined men, who declare their intention of bringing the guilty party to justice at any cost. So far as arresting any one against whom the crime could positively be charged the search was failure.
 Jennie Weingarte, the cook at the Tucker home, was arrested and placed in jail at Daphne Sunday morning. It was thought by the parties making the arrest that she might give some informa- tion in regard to the colored men who visited her, which might be of valuable aid in laying the crime at the right door. The woman was questioned by different persons at the jail and she is said to have ms le conflicting statements. She said that but one man visited her regularly. Sunday night several men came from took the woman back to the Tucker resi- dence, it was said, to subject her to ques- tiuning concerning Levi Cavitt, a negro, who was arrested on suspicion. The ne- gro's name was given as Levi Carter in yesterday mornings paper. It is not thought that Cavitt is the guilty party
 Sunday night number of citizens as- sembled at the Tucker residence at Ia tumville for the purpose of adopting means for a more systematic search for the criminal 1t Is stated that funds were subscribed and that large reward will be offered for the capture of the per son who committed the deed.

WOULD RIDE IT OUT.
He Dropped Quarter in the Box, but Had
 Good Company


 young couple, apparently strangers in the city, boarded the street car on Twentieth street and Avenue D just as the soft sun rays were fading into night last evening. The beams of love were playing over their countenances like the sprays of electricity before a mirror. Words had given place to signs and smiles, and love basked in beautys pres- ence while the car sped along. The mo- tofman rattled his bell for the fare. The enraptured young man had either forgot ten to "drop a nickle in the slot" or was waiting for the conductor to take up the fare. He cast his eye upward and the motorman pointed his finger at the fare box. Love marched with the air of a Chesterfield and proudly put in his quar- ter and called for his change.
 You should have put in the correct change" said the polite motorman. T cannot touch that money or refund.
 That is strange" remarked the young man. How far does this car go?'
 "It goes to Jonesville, sir, and will re- turn in about one hour."
 You need not put yourself to any trouble about the change then. We will just ride 1t out. Our car does not leave in two hours, anyway
 And proud Love returned maJestlcally to his seat to again feast in pantom1me at Beauty's shrine, apparently little car ing whether the crops are ruined by the drouth or the financial question is ever settled.
