ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS DEAF
Mankind often Escapes Danger OF AZ
tack owing to THIS Circumstance

aT.r1riud often Escapes Danger OF Az
+acIr owing to This Circumstance
II ia a little known fact-lt mas, ~
deed. but recently been discovered "
ma turalists-that majority OF tue
~onomous reptiles with which the
uorld is infested are wholly or par
tianv deaf. while their sight is often
detective. To this is probably due the
immunity of man from the attack OF
these creatures, for men hear and see
the 4erpents before they are heard OF
veeA and are enabled either to escape
FROM their proximity or to make aoe-
uuate preparations for defense.
A derman naturalist, NJ. Werner OF
Vienna, has recently reported the re-
suit of observations that he has oeen
making for some time on the senses OF
inferior vertebrateA.
On certain points the conclusions OF
NJ. Werner are surprising, and IN all
they are worthy Of notice. NJ. Wer-
ner has observed 1876 individuals, OF
which One-third were at liberty, and
he took all precautions possible not 10
let the creatures know they were
watched. One general fact is evident,
that reptiles and amphibians are
strongly attracted by water. They go
straight for 1t, even when they are at
a distance so great that they could not
divine its presence by any Of the
senses known to u.s. 1t seems really
that a sense of which we have no
knowledge informs them Of the direc-
ton in which water may be found.
There seems to be sort of chemical
attraction, says M. Werner, But how
does this act and on what part OF the
creature? This remains a mystery.
Reptiles also seek the light but in
dependently of heat; they are positive
ly heliotropic and in winter they often
leave comfortable and warm retreat
to seek the sunlight. Sight is gener-
ally good with them. 1t is probably
the finest sense they possess, but 1t
would still appear to be limited.
The caymans and the crocodiles can
not distinguish a man at distances of
more than six times their length, ac-
cording to NJ. Werner. In the water
fishes see only at very close range
about half their own length. This will
seem, perhaps, unlikely to anglers, al
though some Of them can cite in
stances showing that fish cannot see
far. Snakes seem to have a mediocre
sense Of sight. The boa, for instance,
does not see at more than quarter
and third of its own length; different
species are limited to one-ffth or one
eighth of their length.

.Well. of course the sensation in the
town was something marvellous For a
week we turned crowds away from the
doors nightly. Strange to say, the young
man who had caused the sensation came
every night, and persisted IN desiring
to be again mesmerized, although ne
still looked shaken and pale from the Ell
fects of the first experiment. rms, now
ever, l would not permit, Judith seemed
to have acquired some strange fascl-
nation over him; he followed her IKE
shadow. But she would scarcely delgh
to look upon him; she seemed always 10
feel great contempt for those VINO were
amenable to the mesmeric influence. 10
our other friend, her behavior was very
different. He came pretty often to the
hotel, and l frequently found them III
private confab together. l could not un-
derstand what a handsome swell IKE
that could find to admire in bony, red
haired Judith.
"Well, the last night came. had lett
the hotel about 8 o'clock in the after
noon to walk round the town with our
bill poster. When the time came to
open the doors, the checkers came to me
to say that Mr.. Stokes, who was money
taker, had not arrived. knocked at
Judith's dressing room door, She was
not there. In an instant it darted upOn
my mind that l was sold-that they
had bolted!
Il went off to the hotel. My suspi-
cions were verified. They had left, bag
and baggage, Immediately after had
gone out. l went to the station, and
found they had booked for Peterborough;
but there all traces ceased, and from
that time to this have never heard OF
them. 1t will be warm for them If ever
/ do, for they completely broke me up
after saving them from starvation,
too!
'Mr. Rodwell-that was the swell's
name-and his, friends disappeared at
the same time Then l discovered that
they were strangers in the town-had
only come down for the shooting season.
The only person who could have give
me any information-the landlord of the
hotel where they put up-had received
his caution, and pretended to know
nothing.
"But the strangest bit of the whole
story is yet to come. This very night,
just as was going down to the prompt
wing, during the third act of the play,
/ saw a swell talking to Miss Gibson,
in the third entrance. His face struck
me in an instant as being familiar; but
the moment heard his voice all doubts
vanished. It's some years since we met,
and he was not more than two or three
and twenty at the time; but recognized
Mr.. Rodwell i'll moment. We had a
little private chat together, and he slip
ped a couple of sovereigns into my hand;
but l couldn't get anything out Of him
about the Stokeses. He pretended to-
know nothing of their disappearance that
night, and never to have seen them since,
which know to be a lie. However,
feel a little curious to know who my
gentleman himself may be, so 1 set
young Jack Brindle, the call boy, to
watch him, and l warrant he won't lose
sight Of him."
