THE EYES OF DEEP-SEA FISH

last representative may still be recognized,
imbedded deep in the tissues of the head.
But many deep-sea fish have curious sys-
tenn of hollows in the skullAor along :. line
on the body which secret mucus or slime, and
this slime often envelops them completely, as
in a sheet of jelly, from head to tail. Strange
to say, it is phosphorescent. Moreover, many
other deep-sea species have two sets of or
gans buried in their skin. consisting of round,
shining, opalescent bodies, very closely re-
sembling mother-of- pearl. One sort are large
and oval and are placed on the head not far
from the eye; the other kind are smaller and
arranged in series along the body and tail,
a pair usually answering to each joint of the
backbone.
All of them are abundantly supplied with
nerves, and they seem to be organs for the
production and perhaps also for the percep-
ton of phosphorescent light. If so, we may
suppose that each such fish goes about like
string of glow-worms or train of lighted
cars, all the organs along his side or tail
shining family in the dark, somewhat after
The fashion of luminous paint.
Doctor Gunther suggests that in certain
cases the phosphorescence may be produced
in sort Of back chamber of the organ, and
then emitted in particular directions through
the lens in front, precisely as a policeman
flashes his bulls eye on any point.

sell him., and made up my mind that he'd
have to be shot
Late one afternoon, in the early spring,
put the saudle on Pluto, as we called him,
and started over to Seth Owens for some
seed corn. He said he had new kind, that
filled out two weeks earlier than any ones
else, and l thought I'd try it.
"Seth lived over on that hill by the head
Of Elm Greek, about three miles from my
place. Half the road led right along the
edge of a swamp. It's been drained since
then, and makes one of the prettiest pieces
Of land around here; but then it was SO full
of laurel and alder bushes you couldn't see
across it, and it was frozen all over.
81 got to Owens without any trouble, and
started back about sundown with my bag of
corn Pluto couldn't go off walk on ac-
count of the load; and | wouldn't urge him,
anyway, for fear of making fuss, which
would have been pity, seeing he'd been good
natured all the way.
'When got past the swamp, looked back,
and saw Ovens little dog, Pop, sneaking
along behind. l drove him back, and he
turned and made good start for home; but
when | looked around again, there he was,
following tried driving him back the sec
ond time, but he ran off into the swamp, and
after little 1 heard him barking and yelp-
ing in there like mad.

road.

calks on his shoes tore ueP hide and made her
turIous She tried to rear on her hind legs

Fluto's temper was up and he kept leaping
and striking like lightning with his feet and
tearing her flesh at every bound. Once the
bear drew blood on his flank, giving it bad
wound, and then it seemed as if he was fury
itself.
He wheeled round, and I believe he kick
ed her more than dozen times in minute
with his hind feet. The bear didn't have
any show at al! after that. She plunged at
him once or twice, but always got the worst
striking and kicking till she lay there stone
dead
'srhen he seemed satisfied, and his temper
cooled down gentle as a lamb. He shifted
around his dead enemy little, as if to make
sure she'd give no more trouble, and then
stood still waiting for me.
"By that time I'd got my wits together,
picked up what was left of my bag of corn,
got on Pluto, and started towards home The
first thing | saw when l got there was that
little dog, Pop. He'd skufked into the house
and come running to me, seeming mighty
glad he'd got off with whole skin after stir

my face was badly scratched, and I'd some
bruises, though my hurts weren't dangerous;
but the horse was sight to see. His legs
were covered with blood to the knees and
that cut on the flank was an inch deep. The
next morning Nick Topler and went down
the road where the tussle had been, and, sure
enough, there the bear lay.
"Nick said she'd got den near by, and
we hunted around while and found it. A
big hollow log, almost covered with vines and
bushes, and two of the cutest little cubs you
ever laid eyes on was in there. My! weren't
they hungry?
eve took them home, give them plenty of
milk and kept them warm, and they grew
big and fat in no time. always kind OF
liked them, but Mrs. Andrews said they got
to be dreadful plaques, and one day when
the tim peddler came along she let him have
them for enough tinware to last lifetime.
I never saw them again.. but I heard they

TN0H, Uncle Joe, just come out in the
AyI yard and see Cys horse! He's got
that spotted colt he's wanted so
llIHEgI long, and he says it's his for keeps.
Gfais21D Do come, right away"
The old gentleman so imperative
ly summoned, arose rather stifhy from his
chair, and with the aid of cane, followed
his nephew to the barn yard, where Cyrus
hyiord, the proud owner of a handsome roam
colt, was exhibiting his new possession to
group of admiring boys
Uncle Joe Andrews was considered the
autocrat OF the town in his judgment of
horses, and was often called on to give his
opinion as to the merits or demerits of diff
ferent animals purchased in the neighbor-
hood mood; and now, in answer to Cyrus question,
~ What do you think of him, uncle?" he push
ed his hat back on his head, his hands deep
In his pockets, and proceeded to give the
colt a close examination.
Let him gol" he said, after a few mo-
ments
And Cyrus, nothing loath, began a series
OF maneuvers such as were never laid down
IN any manual of horsemanship.
The graceful creature pranced, cantered and
paced about the enclosure, to the imminent
risk OF the excited audience, who, with loud
shouts, scampered back and forth to keen
from under his heels; the exhibition closing
with a wild gallop and flying leap over the
high h-barred gate.
'Well enough, Cy; well enough was Uncle
Joes verdict, when the display was over sT
thing you've got fine colt there -high-sten-
ping animal. He'll make a good roadster, IN
time, if you manage right and don't 90 to
cutting up tricks with him"
Then, after short pause, as if reconsiderine
the matter:
But don't believe that horse can ever kill
bear in this world'
And Uncle Joe gave Cyrus a whimsical look
of dismay, as though the horses inability
to, dispatch a bear might detract from its
value
who wants him to?" asked Cyrus. "There
are no bears around here; and who ever
heard of a horse killing bear, anyway"
'I have!" declared Uncle Joe, stoItly. sT
had one that did that very thing"
The old man seated himself ON a bench
against the sunny side of the barn and took
out his pipe. Evidently he was in a story-tell-
ing mood, and Cyrus dismounted and took
comfortable position ON the barn door sill.
while the other lads perched themselves on
an overturned wood rack and prepared to
listen.

from Canada" began Uncle Joe fsHow I

Now as we go down in the water we find
at each depth that the effects produced upon
the eyes of fish are steadily progressive in
one direction or the other.
Species that live at depth of eighty faith
oms have the eye already good deal bigger

or near the surface. Down to the depth of
two hundred fathoms, where daylight disap-
pears, the eyes get constantly bigger and big
ger. Beyond that depth small eyed forms set
IN, with long feelers developed to supplement
the eyes.
Sight, in fact, is here beginning to atrophy.
In the greatest abysses the fish are mostly
blind, feeling their way about entirely by
their sensitive bodies alone over the naked
surface of rock at the bottom.
Some of them have still external relics of
functional eyes; in others, the oldest and
most confirmed abysmal species. the eye has

WARSH|P FLEET

NO OFFICIAL WORD COMES
All the Messages Are From Core spondents and They Tell of Smooth Sailing and of Naval Move

Washington, December 1S.-Not a sin gle word in the shape of an official mes sage was received at the navy department today from Admiral Evans flagship nor from any of the vessels of the fleet.
 Both the White House and the navy department dscredit what purports to be a wireless message from the battle ship Connecticut to the effect that Pres ident Roosevelt had informed Admiral Evans that the fleet would return by the way of the Suez canal. Secretary Loeb said tonight that no plan for the return of the fleet had yet been formulated. None of the navy department heads, Sec retary Metcalf, Assistant Secretary New berry and Admiral Brownson, through whose hands must pass all orders Tor the fleet know the itinerary for the home ward voyage. They decline to give cre- dence to what they term ''wardroom gossip
 From the position of the ships when last recorded it would not surprise the department of fuels if the wireless shore stations at San Juan, P. R., or Guan- tanamo, Cuba, should be able to pick up the fleet within a day or two.
