Queer Facts about Eels,

Occasionally some one applies to the
fish Commission at Washington for a
consignment of eels eggs, to stock pond
or stream, and the request is invariably
refused. This is not due to any inten-
tional desire to be disobiging, but be-
cause nobody knows whether cells lay
eggs or not.
AS to breeding, the eel is the most mys.
terious animal in existence, and the ques-
ton has been puzzle to learned and un-
learned for centuries.
Some authorities have contended that
cells grow up from horsehairs, which, in
some strange manner become vitalzed.
Others have held that they were gener-
ated spontaneously from slime, while
others still have gravely advanced the
belief that they came from the skins Of
old eels, OF similar exuviae of water
snakes.
Most popular among people who get
their living from the water, however il
the theory that eels are the progeny Of
various other fishes. The Sandman fish
ermen assert that they are produced by a
certain kind of water beetle, which for
this reason is called mother of eels.
All this mystery about the eel, as
science has learned in the last few years,
is due to the fact that it lays its eggs in
the sea, where no one has chance to
observe the process. Other fishes. like
the shad. leave the ocean to spawn in
fresh water streams, but this curious and
slippery customer does precisely the re-
verse.
The young eels, newly born or Matched
leave the salt water, and make their way
in armies up the rivers inland. Obsta.
cles apparently insurmountable they use
the utmost ingenuity in passing, even
travelling considerable distance on dry
land in order to get around an obstruc.
ton.
In the spring and summer any visitor
at Niagara Falls, who descenas beneath
the great sheet of water at the foot uf
the falls, will see literally hundreds Of
cart-loads of small eels wrigglig OVER
the rocks and squirming over the whirl-
pools. or course it is impossible for
them to go over the falls, and thus it
happens, that, although cells lave ALWAYS
been plentiful in Lake Ontario, thero
were none in Lake Erie until they
had been planted in the latter body Of
water artificially.
lpasmuch, therefore, as eels must go to
The sea in order to propagate their species,
they are found not to multiply at al!
when placed in ponds that are landlockcd
although in such places they will grow
rapidly and be healthy. 1t costs so little
to purchase young ones by the quantity
that this is no great obstacle to the use
fulness of stocking inland waters with
these fish.

Position During Sleep.

Man is, when standing erect, the only
animal that has the thigh in line with
the axis of the vertebral column, and
among his nearest congeners in the ami
NAL world the flexed state of the fe-
moral articulation is natural and con-
stant. AS we go down the scale the angle
between the thighs and trunk diminishes
until it reaches the right angle charac-
teristic of most quadrupeds. | speak
here of the attitude adopted when the
animal is at rest upon its legs, for during
sleep there is in many cases curious re-
version to the position occupied in EN-
bryonic life. Thus we see that a bird
roosting with its head "under its wing"
and the legs drawn up close to the body
offers decided resemblance to the chick
in the egg.
l have noticed that young children,
when old enough to shift their limbs,
very seldom sleep in any but the curled
up position, and that as often as not,
when unhampered by clothing or other
artificial restraints, they sleep in tho
same attitude as do many quadrupeds,
viz, with the abdomen downward and
the limbs fexed beneath them. / am
told that negro mothers and nurses in the
West Indies invariably lay their charges
down to sleep on their stomachs, and
that this custom is also common in vari-
Gus parts of the world Adult man is,
l believe, the only animal who ever elects
to sleep upon his back. Some of the
lower savages seem to sleep comfortably
on occasion in a crouching position,
with the head bent down upon the knees,
just as all the common tribes of monkeys
do.
Among the quodrumana it is when we
come to the platform building anthropoid
types that we find a recumbent position
habitually taken during sleep. The
young orangs and chimpanzees that they
have had at the geological gardens slept
with the body semi-pro and with the
limbs, or all except one arm, which was
used as a pillow, curled under them. This
is exactly the position voluntarily adopted
by 80 per cent of children between 10
and 20 months old which have had op-
portunities of watching was told by
the attendants at the geological gardens
that no ape will sleep fiat on his back,
as adult man often does.
1t would be very interesting to get ex-
act observations as to the habits of all the
lower tribes of men with regard to sleep.
ing, for it is a point upon which good
deal would seem to depend, if, as Taylor
and most of our anthropologists believe,
mans first ideas of spirit world arose
from dreams. We know that most of
our domestic animals dream, as is proved
by their movements while asleep, and
the same thing has also been observed
in monkeys. The effect of the position
of the body during sleep upon the char
acter of our dreams is too well known to
require comment, for probably every ono
of my readers has experienced the very
disagreeable results of sleeping on the
back.-Nineteenth Century.

Assertions That They VIII Not At
tnck Swimmer.
On the question whether sharks will
attack men when swimming, corre-
bpondent of the New York Sun writes as
follows:
was on Pacific mail steamer in the
Bay of Champerico. The water was
clear and we counted seven sharks, rang
ing from about seven to eleven feet in
length. We got out shark hook and
line and baited it with pork
Our principal assistant was a little chap
who had just finished his time in the
navy. While we were at luncheon a
shark took a bite at the bait The young
seaman was too hasty and as result
the big fish was badly hooked and
dropped off when hauled about foot out
of the water
However, our young friend seemed to
know lot about shark fishing and
sharks, the result of his many cruises,
and when stories were told of men bitten
by sharks he scotfed and put it to the
test of experiments. To the consterna-
ton of nearly everybody he dived from
VIC dI1t 10 lnc
spot where the sharks were awaiting the
kitchen refuse. In every instance where
one of them happened to see him it acted
as if scared, and moved rapidly in an
other direction. 1t was the same in tho
bay at ST. Jose, Guatemala.
AT that place there is a big spotted
shark whom tourists easily recognize as
an old friend, and call Joe" The little
sailor chap swan after him, and he swan
in front of him and in front of others.
Several sharks must have seen the boy,
but none showed the slightest inclination
to attack. He said the same thing had
been tried before many time, and that
nobody in the navy now believed that
there was any danger of attack from
sharks when swimming, although it was
possible that they might take a snap att
lead floating body.

Restrictions OH the Use of Time.

Among these five factors, land, labor,
capital, mental energy, and time, there
is but one in which all men must share
alike All others are variable One only
is equal and constant, and that is time.
The hours of the day number "a.
Whether man be rich or poor, whether
we'll endowed with mental energy or not,
the one opportunity, the one element of
property, which all must share alike, is
time. Time is a common factor, and yet
it is separate factor, an element of in
dividual property, with which every man
may claim to deal according to his own
will so far as he may not impair the
rights of others to deal with their share
of time at their own will.
1t follows that any legal restrictions
upon the free use of time impair per-
sonal liberty more than almost any other
interference with the freedom of men
that can he conceived. Such restrictions
create inequality in that which in its nat
ure must be shared by all alike.
Yet, step by step, and session by session
the legislatures of almost every State are
enacting statutes restricting the use of
time, which, when enforced create mon
opolies, establish privileged classes and in
fiict disabilities
Under pretence of police ordinances, or
under the pretext of maintaining the
public welfare, these acts deprive great
bodies of citizens of their right of free
contract and of their free disposal of their
own time according to their own will
even in lawful and in innocuous pursuits
in the conduct of which no harm can
arise to any other person, although the
man himself who chooses to do so may
overwork himself.-Edward Atkinson.

Keep Growing.

Life ought to be, for every healthy ma.
ture, one quenchless thirst for achieve,
ment, experience and expansion. No
limits are set to the human soul, although
time keeps a strong registry against the
human form. In this century some of
the greatest things have been done by
old men-men who have declined to stop
and step out of the ranks, and who have
gone on adding strength to strength and
service to service until old age has bo.
come the fruitful harvester of October,
md not the bleak barrenness of Decem.
Der. Physical infrmities are not to be
warded off by an effort of will, but no
man need decline because his body di.
minishes- in force. Growth takes on
many forms, and it can still persist when
the senses have begun to fall.
1t is great gain to Danish from our
thoughts the ideal of life which fixes its
best period at the beginning. 1t is
great thing to look forward to ever-in.
creasing gain, to think always Of leading
and advancing, never of retiring and
retreating. The charming old woman
who began to study painting after she
was sixty years old is a capital illustra.
ton of the spirit in which we ought ali
90 take hold of life. There are few who,
like the great Doge of Venice, beyond
the age of ninety, can climb the wall OF
a besieged city at the head of an attack
ing force, but there is no one who need
settle down to decline and decay because
youth is past. Life has no limits for
those who know how to live. and the Joy
of it lies in moving with the tide and
keeping at the front until the time comes
when there is a greater and a higher op.
portunity elsew where.-Christian Union.

Left handlers are notably of more thar
The average strength and much NOR

Leonardo da Vinci and Hans Holhein
were left handed. Left handed batsmen
are noted for hitting, left handed fieldtrs
for smartness and left handed bowlers
are generally fast. We know gentle
man, not straight bat. whose back play
is a perpetual source of astonishmcnt to
the spectators But now comes in fac
tor of unknown quantity. One would
think that where conventional usage has
obtained from the left handed one par.
ticular set of motions for the right hand,
it would be one requiring but average
skill. But is this so? The three arts of
cricket are distributed among left handed
people in the most arbitrary and appar.
emily inconsistent manner; most of them
bat left handed, but many bowl with tho
right, aad some bat with the right and
bowl with the left. No doubt it would
be found that, on the whole, those actions
requiring the utmost nicely and the
greatest accord between eye and limb are
allotted to the superior hand; again spon
taneous gestures and unstudied actions
would also be performed by the same
hand.
1t is remarkable that with the ma ioritv
of people the neglected left hand is not
in mere strength inferior to the right
We have heard truly right handed peoplt
actually declare that their left hand is
the stronger, and from the presen,
writer's own experience he knows this t.
be the case. This may be from the me,
'chanical advantage and better balancing
of the body, the right side being heavier.

of the unused arm being less hampered

On Lummi Island, State of Washing
ton, there is a mountain slope of white
sandstone, 100 feet wide and 1 300 feet
long, called the Devils Slide The
strange thing about it is, that every few
minutes a scale of sandstone comes shoot
ing down the slide and is hurled into the
waters of the bay The unsolved mys-
terry is this: What causes the scales to
detach themselves in this unique fashion?
Medical Lake is fifteen miles by rail
from the city of Spokane Falls, State of
Washington. The lake is two miles
long, half a mile wide. and sixty feet
deep. 1t is filled with saline and aka
line water, having a slightly chalybeate
aImixture, and is popular health resort
for the people of the northwest.
Sour Lake is small lake of acidulous
