nizarda That Grow New Eyes.

The tuatara lizard of New Zealand il
said to be one Of the most ancient forms
Of animal life now existing, 1t original
" possessed four eyes, but now has &c
be contented with but two. 1t lays eggs,
and these take no less than ID months
to hatch out. the embryos passing the
winter IN Il state of Information.
These remarkable animals are found
only in one or two places in the colony,
and they are rapidly becoming scarce,
as collectors from every part Of TIE
world are continually on their track.
They are about IS inches In length, and,
like many Of the lizards, are said to
have the characteristic Of being able &c
replace portions of their limbs, etc.,
which have been destroyed. One owned
by Mr.. Carl Hansen CT Awanui had the
misfortune to lose an eye some time ago,
and now q complete new eye, as perfect
as the unchanged one, has grown IN
the place Of that lost.
While the eye was developing the
lizard seemed to be no more inconven-
fenced than a human being is in the
growing Of finger nails or hair.

AMENDS
HIS STATEMENT.
He Says That the Charges Against
Him Were So Calling That They
Goaded Him to Desperation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-FolIowing IS
the text Of the letter sent by General
Eagan to the War Commission, with an
amended statement. in reply to the
charges made by General Miles concern
ing the beef furnished the army:
Office Of
Commissary-Gen OF Subsistence,
Washington, January H. 1889.
To the Commission Appointed by the
President 10 Investigate the Conduct OF
the War Department in the War with
Spain:
have the honor to hand you
herewith my testimony which Is
now resubmitted and revised IN ac-
cordance wiki the views expressed by
you IN your letter to me OF January l3.
1899.
AN APOLOGY.
In this connection desire TO state that
there was never a thought or intention
on my part Of any disrespect whatso-
ever TO your commission hut In explana-
tion and in extenuati0n OF the language
used by me heretofore ! beg 10 invite
the attention OF the committee to the
fact that / have been accused practically
Of feeding the soldiers with poisoned
beef, which made them sick, embalmed
beef so called; that I have furnished
meat to the army under the 'pretense OF
experiment which charge in effect IS
corruption and worse. because IL je0p-
ardizes the lives OF soldiers sent TO the
front in tropical climates and who were
dependent on such food as was sent
them; these statements have gone to the
whole country uncontrad.cted.
PILLORfED BY THE PRESS.
They have been published and 7 have
been pilOried In the press OF the country
as a man who had fed the army on
poisoned meat and corruptly SO; that for
about three weeks time 7 have kept ST.
lent for the reason that | was debarred
after talking with the Honorable Secre-
tary OF War from preferring charges be-
cause OF the immunity granted by the
President 10 witnesses before your com
mission. Notwithstanding the gravity of
the accusations; that II IS unreasonable
10 believe that such monstrous charges
could have any other effect than 10 work
upon an honorable man In such n way as
to gOad him 10 a species Of desperation
and that II was but natural, when the
proper opportunity was given 20 meet
and refutc the charges that he should
characterize them IN harsh language and
In terms that are deemed improper no
matter what the provocation.
I therefore withdraw the language and |
matter so Objectionable. and re-submlt |
TO you now my sworn statement with |
tho abiding faith that your committee. |
having all the facts before you will de-
eide the points at issue justly"
Very respectfully.
CHARLES T.. EAGAN.
The revised statement Is about IS per
cent shorter than that which WAS ordered 1
withdrawn because OF its violent and
abusive character. The commission. ar
ter its receipt went into secret session 20
read the document and decide IN It's pres
ent form II II had been expurgaied suf~
hciently to permit II 10 be made part
o< the commisslcns record.
