A HOtbed Of Violence.

The island of Sardinia is a hotbed Of
violence. The 'Granary of Rome re-
sists the softening influences Of civili-
cation and remains with many Of the
peculiarities which distinguished it in
the middle of the last century. "In the
country" writes a traveller Of that
time, "the men are clothed in goatskins,
one before and another behind, with
out breaches, shoes or stockings, and
a wooden or skin cap on the head. The
women have no other habiliments than
a long wooden gown and wooden cap.
The peasants always go armed to de-
fend themselves from one another, for
they are all robbers and assassins, so
that travelling in the interior is extreme
" unsafe without an escort, and it is
even dangerous for ships to send their
people on shore for water unless they
are we'll armed. In short, the Sardes
are the Malays of the Mediterranean"

when Cod became Blintl.

Several large cod are kept In one of
me tanks of the Amsterdam aquarium,
necessarily near the surface and there
fore exposed to strong light from
above. Now, the cod, though not a
deep sea fish, Is not a surface swim
mer and lives at depths where the sun
light must be very much modified by
passage through the water. It lives in
what to US would be semidarkness. Ev-
cry one Of these cod exposed to the
strong light is suffering from an ex-
traordinary hypertrophy of the eye.
The whole organ. has become over
grown, as IL in the effort to adjust It,
self to the use of more light rays it had
become overequipped and then useless
The cod, in fact, are blind. The most
interesting feature In this change is the
extraordinary rapidity with which in
creased supply of light rays has over
developed the organ for it's use. 1t has
taken place not by slow degrees from
individual to individual, but in course
Of time to be measured by months and
In every individual in the tank. If
this example is measure of the rapid
1ty with which such changes take place
among fishes, the adaptation Of those
creatures which have migrated from
the shallow waters Of the deep seas,
shown by the total loss or enormous
development Of their eyes and the
growth Of Illuminating organs to light
the abyss, may have been as rapid as

Names and the Law.

Speaking generally, the law of Eng
land allows person to assume and
use any name, provided its use is not
calculated to deceive or inflict pecuni-
ary loss. So the court Of appeals laid
down the law in Dockrell against Dou-
gall, and this attitude Of the law, the
Law Journal remarks, is characteristic
Of our British love of liberty. French
law is much more strict. 1t forbids any
citizen to bear any name other than
that which Is expressed in the registry
Of his birth or to add any surname to
bis proper name. German law is the
same, only it goes a little further in
imposing a penalty on any one giving
false name to an official. -Dundel
