Viewed from every standpoint, the ac-

A MISCARRIAGE OF TRUTH.


Railroad commissioners are a great in
stitution-perhaps.
A week ago train on the Long leland
coliided with tally-ho. The carnage was
fearful-not 30 great numerically as that
of the accident In this State at Lonsdale
4 years ago, but terrible In every wound
and every drop Of blood spilled. The road
claimed that the track was sufficiently
clear to observers to enable reasonably
careful driver to have seen the approach
ing engine In time to escape injury. The
railroad commissioners put their in
spector on the case and he promptly con-
firmed the story Of the company.
Accurate measurements taken by private
enterprise prove, beyond doubt, that less
than fifty feet of track was visible to the
driver ct the point where the tally -ho
crossed the line. This means that the
driver had about one seconds warning OF
the approach Of the train. How the rail-
road company can be held blameless for
this accident we confess that we do not
see. Also, we do not see the value OF this
special board of railroad commissioners.

the coasts Of China, Japan, India, the
Malayan archipelago and eastern Africa.
This strange creature when In pursuit
Of Its prey, leaves the sea and comes out
on tho sands, thus existing for the greater
portion of Its life In an element which,
according to tho nature Of things, ought
to be fatal TO 1t. The laws Of evolution
have, however, eminently prepared 1t for
Its peculiar mode Of life. Its gill cavities
are 80 large that when 1t abandons the sea
1t carries In them quantity OF water

eyes are very largo and prominent, and

looking around on all sides; hence Its
name, periophthalmus These eyes are
situated ON tep Of the animals head and
present very grotesque appearances.
The favorite food of this asb, says The
Medical Record, Ia Q naked mollusk called
onchidium. And In tho matter Of eyes
this last mentioned creature IL itself worthy
Of remark.
Its cephalio or head eyes are like those
of other mollusks and not worthy Of spe-
cial mention. But Its dorsal eyes, some
times several hundred In number, are
truly remarkable. These dorsal eyes, al
though they are very simple In structure,
In type are the same a. those Of vertebrate
animals, having cornea, lenses, rettna and
"blind spots" In the vertebrate eye the
