just as the blind fish. though unable
to see, has an eye, so 1t also has pig
ment cells in its skin, though these are
- devoid of pigment The value of
pigmentation of the skin Of creatures
of ordinary habit is protection from the
SUN or from the eyes of other creatures.
As the blind fsh lives where neither
sun nor eye can penetrate, it has no
need of protective coloratiOn. But the
fact that the unpigmented pigment cells
are still found in its skin shows plainly
enough that il is descended from fish
that had use for such cells Like the
siglltless eyes, these pigment cells are
proof of the evolutionary origin of the
blind fish, and they supply therefore
additional proof, were such needed, of
the truth of the evolution hypothesis.
More than that, the depigmented cells
have a bearing also on the question of
variation through other processes than
natural selection; for it is argued that a
creature living in the dark, and more
over one having no predaeious enemies,
could be neither benefited nor injured
by the presence of pigment in its skin;
hence that natural selection pure and
simple cannot account for the loss of
pigment. The blind fish would seem,
therefore, in regard to It's rudimentary
pigment cells. to offer an Illustration
of the change wrought by a changed
environment and of loss through dis
ease.

WHAT A BLIND FISH Is LIKE
The mott abundant species Of blind
fish is about FIVE inches long when tu8i
grown. Its body is perfectly smooth,
and its skin has TO pigment, SO that

has d piuh.n=h appearance, resembling
a skinned catfish" About the head, es-
pecially IN the young fish, are many
CHA or feeders, giving a fuzzy appear

These feelers take the place of eyes 10
some extent. but in spite OF them the
fish frequently ruuG against the wall OF
its cavern or some othar obstacle; II IS
protected from injury, howeNec BY rs
long lower jaw, which acts as bumper.
In its native oavequs, the hli-d f1s1l hes
practically no enaniex. II, therefore,
is quite devoid Of that slaYnzss that
chaqacoerizes most fishes and it may be
taken with the hand ii care is OBJ

its sensitive fesleT5 it can recognize
any motion about 1T in the water; bat
no amount CT noise ATTRACTS It's atten-
ticn, for il seems TO be as devoid Of
cars as OF eyes.
1t Is not quite correct, however, TO
imply that the blind fish has no eyes
1t is, indeed, absolutely M'nd, but 1t
| nevertheless has the rud.nents of eyes,
reminiscent of tIlat very remote time
when its ancestors LIVED in tn light and
could see as well as either fishes Pro-
feSsor Eii5elmann has made some high
I Iy important microscopic sections of
these rudimentary eyes and compared

mad fishes. He finds in the degenl2rated
eyes rudiments of al the main layers
| Of cells that are found in the normal
eye, but in q very aborted condition.
! Thus the crytalligp1 lens is Represented

Truce of light with It's documentary eye.
! Yet, strangely enough, it has b2en de-
! te"mined by Professor E!Genmann that
( the blind fish may appreciate the pres

! native caVernS are absolutely dark
dark as no night il the outer world
ever is. But If the fish is brought out
| into the light it seems to appreciate
the change in its CONDITIONS; somewhat,
! perhaps, as a. plant appreciates the

Doubtless such a rudimentary senst-
tiIVensSS to light as this may be a prop
erty of all animal bodies but one that
is overlooked in view of the highly de-
veIoped Serlsitiveness which the func-
tiO-al eye has developed.

The result is that the Office of secre-

of these corporations have proven in

money of honest investors. Under the

TO USE CORNSTALkS.

Cramps Complete Plans for Their New
frojects-First Factory at Rockford.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-Edwin S. Cramp
of the Philadelphia shipbuilding firm
has completed plans here for the OPEN
ing of factory at Rockford, Ills.,
about Feb. /, for the manufacture of
ship padding and cattle fodder from
cornstalks, a patent for which was re-
Gently granted him.
Before the harvesting of the next
crop, it is expected that several other
factories will be erected in the corn
belt and material which has been
heretofore practically worthless will
become source of revenue to \the
farmers. Mr.. Cramp stated that he
! had Just completed contracts with the
American Spirits Manufacturing COM
pany to feed their cattle with the sub
stance prepared from the pith.
"A goodly portion of the cornstalk
crop of 1897 will be used by us, said
Mr.. Cramp. 1--WE intend to invest q
large amount Of capital in making use
of the inventions, and build factories
from year to year in favorable locations
throughout the West, SO there will be
no expense for transportation to most
of those who sell us their product"
Mr.. Cramp said that the price to be
paid for the stalks Will be 81 a ton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Mr Quesada
of the Cuban junta received long let
ter from his uncle, Salvador de Cis-
neros, the president of the Cuban re-
public, which by inference gives a de-
nial to the reports that the insurgents
are willing to negotiate terms of peace
OH any other basis than absolute inde-
pendence. The letter says in part
II am very gladHo see that the peo.
pie and congress of the United States
will continue to show sympathy for

which the government Of the republic
will ask for the recognition of the in.
dependence Of the island.

go further west. Our situation is most

Senior Quesada declares there is abso

The seed In the Vital Thing. Y

Planting must be begun right. else no

Story Of q Treaty Between This Country
and Spain Untrue.
WASHINGTON, Jan. l5.-It is posi-
lively and authoritatively denied that
the United States and Spain have prac-
tically concluded an agreement regard
ing terms to be offered the insurgents
for the settlement of the Cuban rebel
lion. 1t is denied also that a special
envoy of Spain has been or is to be sent
to the United States as a private nego-
tiator with special instructions from
Senior CanovaS. Duke of Tetuan. 1t is
said that tins latter report probably
arises from the fact that Senor Sober

succeed one of the secretaries of the
legation Senor Solar was formerly
the secretary to the Duke of Tetuan
and when his coming was first an
nounced, report similar to the present
one was circulated and officially denied

Has Not Achieved a Single Success and
Fears Recall.
HAVANA. Via Key West, Jan. l5.-
Captain General Weyler is i'll very
bad humor and seemingly with good
reason. That he is in danger of recall,
nobody for moment doubts, i'll spite
of the many official and semi official
denials from Madrid. Weyler cannot
truthfully be said to have achieved
single success, diplomatic, administra-
tive, military or otherwise. There are
probably more insurgents, better armed
and supplied, in Pinar del Rio at the
present moment than at any time since
the insurrection broke out. General
Weyler once openly remarked that the
western part of the province alone con-
tanned 1000 armed men, and that large
additional bands of insurgents were
lowering about his trocha. The Span
ish commander sent 81. 600 men against
this little army, and the latter disap-
peared and the best efforts of the Span
ish have failed to discover their where

Cuban republic, was arrested last night
and locked up in Ludlow street Jail.
The utmost secrecy was observed in
making the arrest and the officers of
the Jail would not tell what was the
charge against him. Since the disa-
greement of the jury which tried him
for participation in the Laurada expe-

Of them.
CONGRESSMAN J. II. Walker of Massa-

strongly against the conventions work
as ever. Mr.. Walker said:
Il do not think any good will come

ed plan that will delay, if it does not

Y portents of evil which hang upon and
threaten the conclusions Of the conven-
tion may be enormous. There is an
immense body of the people of this
country who will take this same thing
from their representatives in congress
who will not take it from a
commission composed of people whom,
as was shown in the last canvass, they
hold to be antagonistic to their inter-
ests. The result of the action of the
convention will put into the hands of
the persons in the country who have
prejudiced the masses of the people
against the men who form this con-

scheme devised, it will invite opposi-

more difficult for congress to pass it.
