The ecls Journey To the very head waters
Of the river, mounting dams and falls
with the greatest facility. Hundreds Of
thousands Of the fry leave the main
column At the mouth OF every tributary
stream they encounter on the upward
march, and push their way up those
streams until some insurmountable bar
rier stays their further progress And IL
has to be an absolutely insurmountable
barrier, too, for these little cells can over
come distractions in the channel In
way that In simply incredible. They may
be seen any day during their migration
wiggling their tiny bodies up the face or
almost perpendicular rocks over which
the mountain tributaries Of the Delaware
plunge on their way TO the main stream.
II the rocks are messy the cells succeed
in scaling them.
The cells do not conine themselves to
the water In their procession up these
creeks. but leave the channel and Chamber
iip the rocks along the borders OF the
streams, where the moss IL moist. In this
way they get around high falls that would
otherwise bring their Journey to an end
This facility in eel fry In getting arolid
precip.tous barriers explains the presence
Of cells In ponds and streams above water

declare that adult cells can even make
long overland journeys. and that they ma

Local Asssciaiions Are Said to
Have Been Formed I'm St. Paul,

DEs MONIES. Qowa,) special, May 20
"A scheme is on foot to perpetuate
the commonweal movement. A meet
ing of the leaders will be held in Des
Moines to form q national association.
The Olney brothers and Others OF 507
Mulberry street have charge of the
local end of the movement, and this
evening at a meeting in trade as
sembly hall many laboring men
signed an agreement to join the con-
templated association. The Olney
brothers say there are already local
associations in San Francisco, Omaha,
Denver, Salt Lake City, Ogden,
Minneapolis, Chicago, st. Paul, Cleve-
land, Columbus, and in fact many of
the large cities of the country. They
say that the order, which is to be of
political natute, will be as rapid in its
growth az the A. P. A., but unlike
that order will have nothing to do
with religious subjects. 1t will invite
the laboring and poorer classes to
gather and force Congress and State
to accede to their de.
mands. Within two or three days a
a call will be issued for q national
to be held here, at which
some fifty promoters OF the movement,
which they say will sweep the country
and exterminate the two old political
parties, will be present and form a
national association. The association
has $50 members in Des
Moines, Gen. J. B. Weaver and his
friends are in it, but are as yet in the
back ground.

In many respects the north Pacific
ocean resembles the north Atlantic.
A great warm current, much like the
gulf stream and of equal magnitude,
called the Black stream, or Japan cur
rent, runs northward along the east
ern shore of Asia. Close to the east
coast of Japan it flows through a
marine valley which holds the deepest
water in the world. 1t was sounded
At a depth Of 81 miles by the United
States steamer Tuscarora in 1875 while
surveying for q projected cable route
between the United States and Japan
The heavy sounding weight took more
than an hour to sink to the bottom
But trial was made of chasm yet
more profound, where the lead did not
fetch it up at all. 1t is the only
depth of ocean that yet remains un-
fathomed.
