The Electric Eel Is Very old.

Certain species Of electric fishes have
been known from very early times Occa-
sionally we find people ascribing mystic
rious powers to them, both OF good and
evil. 1t is certain that the Abyssinians
knew an electric eel and used it "as a rem
edy for nervous diseases" and the Hindoos
and other nations of the east in times past
were also conscious of its powers Hum
boldt describes an old method of capturing
this eel, practiced by the East Indians,
which consisted in driving horses into
waters inhabited by the eel and allowing
the cells to exhaust themselves by attack
ing the horses with their electric organs,
when they were easily harpooned by the
lndians" but subsequent travellers in the
same parts where Humboldt says the Gus
tom was practiced have denied the report,
and it is now not generally believed. How
ever, the electric eel has been known to
those people for centuries.-Electricity

There are less than a half dozen left of

they have, and how correct they often are.

truth-that in the old days when he sang
in the taverns he knew over 100 songs, and
his father could tell the titles Of 200, which
he could sing have collected about
thirty from this man. He sits in a settle

his hands on his breast and sings Then

that l should have all the turns right.

Thickey turn came out of your head, not

have got the tune exact. Il be master
and you be scholar" he says, "and scholar
mum iarn what he be taught, and larn it
right" Curious old tunes in the minor
key many of them are, certainly not later
than the Fifteenth century. Others of ex-
quisite delicacy modulate from minor to
major and then back again. 81 reckon
that's the beautifullest tune as ever were
sung anywhere" says my master Of some
specially archaic air. And ] notice that he
appreciates the old minor tunes much
more than those in majors. Then he
