Derby, Conn, Sept 4.-Doomed to
lead lives like owls is the fate of two
little East Hartford boys, to whom day
can see only in the dark or in a very
dim light.
While other boys are at play in the
bright sunshine they steal away into
sunless corners, there to await the fall

their day-blind eyes. Long after youths
twice their age are in bed and asleep,
they keep up. their play with top and
marbles and tin soldiers.
The boys are LYMAN and Abel White,
the only children of Mr.. and Mrs. Sam
Hartford. Hyman is nearly 7 years
old, and Abel is 4. With both the de-
feet Of vision is congenital: Since the
birth Of the younger child their parents
have sought the advice of the most cele.
brated oculists, who with one accord
have pronounced the cases irremed lable.
The sight Of Mr.. and Mrs. White is
not defective or abnormal in any way,
nor was that Of the. grandparents or
great grandparents of the boys. An oc-
lulist who was consulted by Mr.. White.
said today: -,
"Nyctalopia is medical term for be
ing able to see only at night, but 1t IS
also used to express inability to see
at night, the exact opposite for which
however, hemeralopia, is the usually
accepted expression. The White chill
dren were born with the former de-
feet, and no sure remedy is known to
the medical profession.
| Somewhere, back several genera

boys was similarly affected, and now
the disease, after skipping many per
sons, has settled in these young VIC

LON DON, May PA dispatch to the
Reuter- Telegram Company from Tokyo
states xhat Admiral Roges stvenslzy is off
Tsu ShiTna, in Korea strait
While there is no confirmation of a
Tokyo rumor that the Japanese and
Russian fleets under Togo and Rogest-
vensky are engaged in battle in the
Korean strait naval and military men
who have watched the situation closely
think il may prove true.
The Russians have gone closer and
closer to the Japanese feet. II is the
opinion that Togo is about ready TO give
battle on the ground of his own choos-
ing.
1t may be that the fleets are not yet
actually engaged. The best belief is
that a sea fight is but few hours off
The Vladivostok squadron, it is
known, has again left its port CT refuge.
1t is possible that these fast armored
cruisers are hurrying south TO take part
in the battle
News Of the sea fight between Rogest-
vensky and Togo is awaited with eager
ness and interest. There is hardly a
doubt that its result. one way or the
other, win determine the war between
Russia and Japan.

tWenty-one Russian vessels. including
three battleships and three cruisers. are

sixty miles southeast of Shanghai.
The reported presence of a large sec

Islands is confirmed by official advices
received this morning by the Navy De-
partment, from the American naval at

The Importance of these adyices.
though in part anticipated by the press
dispatches. is the fact that the presence
of three battIeships andpthree cruisers
in the division of Shanghai is definitely
ascertained.
This dispeis the view that the vessels
which have approached so near to the
japanese base are mereIya collection of
golfers. There seems every Indication
that Rogestvensky has split his fleet and
