CREATURES KEPT IN DARKNESS.
Scientific Efforts Made to Make Their
Eyes Gradually Dfsappear


Eyes Gradually Disappear.
A subterranean laboratory, which is
to serve purpose of the greatest
scientific interest and importance, was
inaugurated recently at the Jardin DIES
Plantes. Certain animals are to be
placed there and deprived of all light,
with the object of noting the slow
transformation which it is expected
they will undergo under their changed
conditions of life.
The underground passages which are
being employed for this strange pur-
pose were discovered only last year and
date from Roman times. The idea of
using them as a laboratory is due to
Armand Wire, who has made numerous
researches on the subject of cave-dwell-
ing animals, notably in the Jura dis
trict.
The curator of the museum and about
so guests were present at the inaugu-
ration OF the laboratory. Access is
gained to the catacombs by number
of stone steps which lead about 12
meters down until the principal room
y
round chamber, the roof of which is
supported in the center by an enormous
column of stone. On all sides are stone
tables on which are huge bottles and
reservoirs, continually supplied with
fresh water, in which are dozens of tri-
| tons, salamanders and fish of all kinds.
Gallery after gallery is fitted up in a
cir, 10 ,t0 fol
every moment something of interest
catches the eye in the dim light from
| the candles. In curiously constructed
cages are rats, pigs and other animals
which are being put to the test of OBJ
security. Already they have apparently
| become accustomed to their new life.
The light from the candles frightens
them and they scurry away for protec-
ton to the darkest corner of their pris-
on. The visit which was paid to the
catacombs of the Jardin DIES Plantes
will be the last for many day. Only
| very occasionally will an official de-
scend into these underground passages
with red lamp to take food for the ami
mails, and more rarely still will Armand
NIe anu HIS collcdSu eS FlSIG the IaDOfd-
| tory. In the case of cave-dwelling ami
mails very often the eye, having become
useless, has totally disappeared, while
antennae, or feelers, have developed.
Unfortunately, scientific men have only
been able up to the present to observe
these extreme types-the normally con-
stituted animal, the cave dweller. No
intermediary type is known. The es-
! tablishment of the subterranean lab
oratory of the Jardin des Plantes will,
it is hoped, permit of the creation" of
these intermediary types. the minute
study of the phenomena of transforms
ton, the atrophy of certain senses and
the hypertrophy of others.-N. Y. Her
