Ea,s at willamette Falls.

One of the most novel sights in the spring
of the year, at the rocks Of the Willamette
Falls, Ore, is the swarms OF gyrating eeis.
They are freshness itself, aud show a low
order OF intelligence. Hyou put your hand
in the water over the cells, or spit on it, in
s.antly they are gone. But poke q stick
down among the snaky things and they do
not notice it. The sense OF smell seems to
be their main guard against danger. Like
salmon. they do their level best to dart up
the rocks in order to ascend the river, and
with good success. Says a fisherman: I
have seen as many as a hundred bushei OF
eels hanging O the rocks at one time 6y
tbes suckers OF their mouths. They would
wrigpIe and fiutter their tails, and by the
momentum thus obtained, letting go WIN
theil suckers, jump up about six inches
higher. / caught about forty barrels last
season that | sailed and sold to the Coium-
bia river fishermen for bait. Ipicked them
off the rocks with a fish hook tied TO 2
pole. I started at the bottom row o.
hanging cells, and would silently PICK on
barrel afler barrel. The upper row hasnt
sense enough to perceive the enemy"

EIeetrleIty in the Comstock Mines.

Electricity has been introduced as a
moter in the Comstock mines. By convey
ing the water in fumes to the mouth of d
shaft on the Comstock and then letting it
fall to the level Of the Sutro Tunnel a force
equal to a pressure of $50 pound to the
square inch was generated. Electric
motors convey the power, with a loss OF
only 40 per cent. from a point 1850 feet
below the surface of the ground to the
mill on the surface, and when the power
reaches the stamps it is found to be equiv
alent to 435-horse power. which would run
any stamp mill in the world. II the ex-
pertinent proves successful low grade ores,
which are not profitable to work with
steam power, will become valuable.
