ENVIRONMENT

You have perhaps read about the
blind fish, found in the waters of caves
similar to the Mammoth Cave in Ken
tucky. This fish has rudimentary and
functionless eyes, which, however, at
one time during the evolution of the
fish were actually used. Due to nom
use, however, because of the atmos-
pher9 OF constant intense darkness, the
eyes have gradually atrophied and
wasted away
This fish may seem to be a freak of
nature; but nature provides and con-
tinues to develop only those organs
which can prove beneficial to the ami
NAL, and as it is understood in this
case the eyes not being put to use by
the fish, naturally disappeared in the
course of time.
The eye is primarily an organ of
sight, and if man were subject to the
same environment as this fish. he too
would eventually find the eye useless.
In this enlightened day, man is sur
rounded by an entirely new environ
mept. Originally he lived in fields
and forest, ano earned his livelihood,
his food and shelter by Drawn and
cunning In his early days all his
food was obtained in hunting expendi-
tons which required physical endur-
ance and the keenest of vision.
How very different is mans present
mode Of living, now that we have ad-
many stages in civilization.
Yes, there is almost as much difference
today in this respect as there is be-
tween the early environment of the
blind fish and it's present habitat.
Gradual changes in mans physical
being dueto his changed environment,
are to be expected, and scientists are
studying the changes that are taking
place in mans physical being; and
OF such changes that of the human eye
is most significant.

Where the flowers gently wave,
Lies the one beloved SO dearly,

cause collapsed, Crow was compelled
to trudge 400 miles on foot to the old

down to rear family.
In the intervening years he has seen
the numbering stagecoach give way to
the feet automobile and the comfort

to the wide, paved roads of today, and
although he was long past middle age
before the modern automobile became
