EyeIess Animals.

Many of the lower animals are known
to see without eyes, the skin having a
high degree of sensitiveness to light.
Thus earthwOrms, the maggots of flies
and eyeless centipeds find their way
about nearly as readily as similar crea-
lures which have eyes. In a recent Ger
man work ON the sensitiveness to light
Of eyeless animals, DR.. Nagel, who
made his observations chiefly on mol
lusks, found that the eyeless bivalves
and snails he experimental with showed
a high degree Of sensitiveness to light.
He found that some species reacted es-
pecially to diminution, others to in
crease of light. and that this difference
was correlated with other characters. -

Straight democrats clalm-though they

TO the capitaltstic speculations which are

At the same time Herr Buck said he

Of a customs war. The sugar Industry
would suffer thereby and Germany would

He did not anticipate Tong life for

Mar Against This cOuntry.

London. October @-Lord Salisbury
tonight sent to Ambassador Hay the re-
ply Of the British government to the

mission headed by Senator wolcott It
is a automatically worded note. HIS
lordship says the government IS noe able
to reopen the Indian mints at present.
He regrets the inability to accede to the
proposals OF the American commission.
Great Britain has as great an interest as
the United States and France In securing
a stable par exchange for gold and silver
and an enlarged use OF silver.
In these circumstances. continues Lord
Salisbury. the British government does
not see the desirabiiity Of an lnterna-
tional monetary conference. but viii be
pleased to consider any other practical
suggestions from the United States.
Lord Salisbury enclosed with the note
copy of the statement of Sir ]. wes-
land. head OF the financial department
Of India, which was under consideration
at the meeting Of the cabinet council
last Saturday. and which takes strong
grounds against the opening of the In
dian mints.
Senator woscott is not in London this
evening. Ambassador Andrew White
came from Berlin last Saturday. He was
avoided publicity. but had several con-
ferences with Senator wolcott In rne
course OF an interview with a cores
pondent Of the Associated Press. Mr..
White said that Germany's action as to

cussing the probability of tariff war.
Mr. White said: Il do not believe that
Germany will inaugurate tariff war
with the United States. The German

but l think they are now beginning 10
realize that increased prosperity viii en-

During this count trusted employo

conclusion Of the count al of the bags

treasurer's suggestion some of the bags
were opened So much lead was dlscov-

1t IS expected that the hearing OF this

The railroads will make "A strong fight,

nearer, and that lower proportionate rates

territory are given to Charleston shippers.
