Creatures That See Without Eyes Bees
and Dutterdies-Ths Peanut
Hunt Came.

Eyes are peculiarly considered TO be
quite necessary to sight. but this il an
error. If we are to believe DR.. Nagcl. a
recent German eSperfmenter. Many
creatures without eyes can see; at least
they can distinguish perfectly we'll be.
tween light and darkness, and cven be.
tween different degrees Of light. This Ia
the lowest degree Of seeing. to be sure.
but still 1t is really sight and differs
scarcely nor from the vision Of some
insects that possess eyes than this does
from u " clear sight.
Creatures that see without eyes see
by means Of their skins. All skins. says
DR.. Nagel. are potential eyes. that is.
they are sensitive to light. In animals
that have eyes the sensitiveness has
been rightly located and greatly in
creased, 20 that man. for instance. has
a retina very sensitive to light and nm
expanse of ordinary skin which pos.
sesses n s~ensitivcness to light so slight
that it is hardly conscious of it. Yet his
skin is sensitive in some degree. rs Is
proved by the fact that it sunburns-
that is. light may cause y disturbance
in the pigment Of the skin just as it
does in that of the eye
But in many eyeless creatures the
lack of eyes is in part made mp by in
creased scnsitiveness Of the whole skin
surface to light. Darwin long ago no.
ticcd that earthworms. although they
have no eyes, will suddenly withdraw
into their holes at the approach of II
lighted candle. Some creatures seem
most sensitive to sudden increase Of
light: Others to sudden diminution. II
a number of oysters kept in a vessel to-
gether are found to be open. they will
shut all at ono il a dark object comes
between them and the light. Another
bivalye called psammodia has long
whitish tubes. which protrude from the
sand in which it lies buried. II these
are suddenly illuminated, they con
tract. and the brighter the light the
greater the contraction. If number Of
them be carried into direct sunlight.
they hasten to bury themselves in the
sand, or, if there is no sand. they move
restlessly to and fro in the water until
they are exhausted. -Boston Journal
