TIM PROFESSOR AND FRI EEL. —Professor
Tyndall, is his last lean on electricity, delivered to
juvenile audience, at the Royal Institution, being desirous
to create an effect not likely to be forgotten by his bearers,
introduced a very large eel is a tub of water. The professor
pawed an induced current of electricity through the enatere.
however, did not appear to be s;resable to hie eslehip,
an he draggled violently ; but at this was not snMciently
',biking, a still more powerful current was passed through
him when, to the attoeishant of the juveniles and
the dismay of the professor, the eel jumped clean
oat of the tub, and began wriggling about upoe
the floor. Thies eager assistants immediately darted
upon him to return him to his tub, but, like
I Lannon) and his sees fighting with the sense* they only
succeeded in getting well twined about by the eel, for he
' was far too strong and slippery for them be hold, and as
hat as one end was put into the water the other escaped
over the side, causing roars of laughtei amongst the boys,
I who folly appreciated the new actor's endeavours to amuse
them. The professor in vain directed the *Horn of his
underlings ; the eel was not to be caught, until the Deus ex
sierkinef, in the shape of Mr. Anderson, with • woollen
cloth, appeared upon the eoene, when grasping him with
the cloth, the eel was returned to his bath ; the boys, how-
' ever, had so enjoyed the fun that the professor had little
clam to gain their attention again that day.—Tite
