but one that is overlooked in view of the
highly developed sensitiVeness which the
functional eye has developed.
Just as the blind fish. though unable to
see, has an eye. so also It has the pig
ment cells in its skim though these are
alone devoid of pigment. The value of
fermentation of the skin Of creatures of
ordinary habitat Is protection from the
sun or from the eyes of other creatures
As the blind fish lives where neither sun
nor eye penetrate, II has no need of protec-
tive cclora,lon. But the fact that the un-
augmented pigment cells are still found In
It's skin shows plainly enough that Il Is
descended from fish that had use of
such cells. Like the sightless eyes, these
pigment cells are proof OF the evolution-
airy origin of the blind fish, and they sup
ply therefore, additional proof, where
such is needed, of the truth Of the eyolu-
ton hypothesis. More than that, the de-
cesses than natural selection; for 1t is
argued that creature living In the dark,
and, moreover. one having no predaciousa
enemies, could be neither benefited nor in
tured by the presence of pigment In it's
skin; hence that natural selection pure
and simple cannot account for the loss of
pigment The blind fish would seem, there
fore, In regard to its rudimentary pigment
cells, to offer an Illustration Of the change
wrought by a changed environment and OF
loss through disease.
This anamaIous fish as yet another
striking popularity in its manner of breed
ing. Instead of depositing her eggs in the
bottom Of the water, like most other
fishes, the female conveys Its eggs to her
gill cases, where they remain TIL they
hatch, and where for some time the young
take refuge.
Food is probably not over abundant In
the dark underground waters, but, fortu-
nately, the blind fish Is hardy creature,
able to thrive on very meager diet.
Prof Eidenmann has SHOWN that when
placed in an ordinary aquarium, the crea-
ture will live for at least two years abso-
lutey without food and meantime appear
strong and healthy. Several living speci-
mems from his aquarium were exhibited
to the members Of the British Assocla-
ton, and attracted much attention from
the foreign biologists.

ROBERT DILLON GROUNDED.
She Went Ashore on Wolf Island
and Badly Damaged.

Brunswick, Ga, Oct. 1.-THE American
brigantine Robert Dillon, White, master,
is now lying at the Mallory dock with sin
feet of water in her hold and pumps at
work to clear her.
She went ashore on Wolf Island shoal at
! o'clock this morning while in tow OF
the government tug Nina from the New
oTk navy yard.
The Nina arrived in Brunswick about
9 a. m. She brought terrible story OF
the northeast gale along the coast, which
sent the tug and the Dillon ashore. Lieut..
Dougherty tells thrilling story of four
seas breaking over the Nina, sending
hopes of safety glimmering.
The pounding was terrific and but for
the magnificent work of the engines dur
ing it all the tug would have gone to pieces
before working herself off. When it was
made necessary to cut the tow line for
self-preservation, it was done. After day
light signaling was tried on the Dillon,
then fast ashore, but no response coming
1t was taken for granted her crew had
landed in small boats during the night, and
the Nina came into Brunswick to report
the loss About 2 p. m, the
Dillon came into port badly pounded on

Her arrival was hailed with delight in
shipping circles that had given her up
1t soon became noised abroad that Capt
White was censuring the Nina for desert

In an interview the Morning News cor
respondent repeated these rumors to him.
He stated that he felt hurt that the Nina
did not return 10 look for him after she
reached port and reported, as he thought,
that was as little as she
could do, while he did not
exonerate the Nina from all blame in leav-

self and he was not now prepared to criti-
else. The Dillon came south to load lum-
Der from Brunswick for the Brooklyn navy
yard. She was towed by the Nina as the
quickest dispatch was desired. After the
Nina left her she pounded through the
hours and at II O'Clock to-day worked her
way off. and sailed in to Brunswick. The

The accuracy and delicacy of scientific

a seismograph obtained on the Island of

quake, the duration of which had been
three hours. From the general charac-

minutes, Prof Mine, to whom IT was
shown, computed that the center Of the
disturbance had been in or near Japan,
and If so it had originated from there Oh
a certain dale, and at 9:05 in the morning.
Later official reports received from Japan
show that at the exact hour named, even

Re- Enforced by Desertions, Philip
 pine Island Rebels Win Victory.
 Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 8.-The Philip pine Island rebels are receiving hun my, according to today's steamship advices from Manilla, the capital of the islands. It apepars that a stam- pede has been started among the of Colonel Seralde to be governor chief of the Centre of Luzon His cruelties are the most wan'ton and horrible yet experienced on the is lands.
 For instance, on the appointment of new governor the officials and authorities of various municipalities have, according to an ancient custom, called upon him and avowed their al legianice. They set out to follow the old custom when Col. Seralde was ap- pointed, with the result that they. were all ordered butchered. The or der was executed upon the first arriv- als, who, like those following them, were accompanied by band of mu- sicians. When the others learned of the treachery and villainy of Seralde they hurried back to their homes, and those who had not up to that time taken part in the Eebellion joined the rebel forces. Soon thereafter at Bulakan an entire battalion of Span 1cHf1 c.n1d I and joined the rebels, who are under the command of Gen. Slatero and Aguinaldo, who have since removed to the Pampango district, where the rebels are receiving recruits in large numbers. The deserters took with them large quantity of arms and ammunition, ewhich was distributed among Gen. Aguinaldo's followers.
 Thus encouraged the rebels began an aggressive fight and yomng Gen. Mamerto Natividad, whose locally fa- mous father, Don Martero Natividad. of Nueva, was killed by the Spaniards without being given q hearing, al- though he had taken no part whatever in the rebellion, led an attack upon San Rafael. His following was en- thusiastic, and being protected by the trees from the fire of the Spaniards, succeeded in routing them Four hundred Spanish soldiers were killed, while but score of the rebels were killed and wounded
 In the province of Camrines, where Manuel Albella and son, Louis, the wealthiest people of the island, were butchered by the Spanish, together with three priests, the people have arisen and declared war on Spain.
