SOME EEL SUGGESTIONS.
No One Really Knows How They Do
Hatch Out

4NO OAC AASoAAy hHOWs HOW They Do
Hatch Out.
1t is a remarkable fact that the rine
egg OF the eel has never been discovered.
Some funny beliefs have been held at
different times as to the genesis of this
very slippery creature. Aristotle said it
sprang from what he called the "entrails
Of the earth Pliny the elder said:
'They rub themselves against the rocks
and their scrapings come to life"
Gesner thought the opinion as to their
generation in the putrid carcasses of
dead horses was quite d rational one
A German sage, forty years ago, stated
seriously that they owed their existence
TO electrical phenomena. People are still
found in England who believe they are
eXoluted" horse hairs; and not long ago
one pretentious gentleman gave this re-
clpe for their manufacture: "Cut up two
turfs covered with dew and lay one upon
this way, expose them to the heat of the
sun; in a few hours there will spring
from them an infinite quantity of cells"
In Sardinia the fishermen cling to the
belief that the so-called water beetle is
the progenitOr of the eel, and an English
man has written a small book to prove
the same hypothesis. There can be no
reasonable doubt, however, that this fish
is oviparous and spawns just as other
fish do. Plentiful though our lack of
knowledge is regarding il, this much at
least we have learned. The notion APP
pears to be widespread that the ell, like
the lamprey, only spawns once and then
dies.-Pall Mall Gazette.

CREATED A STIR.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.-The fact that
General Booth has seen fit to recall
Darlington Booth and his wife to Eng
land has greatly concerned a number
of New York women who are inter
ested in Christian work in this city.
Led by Mrs. Earl Dodge these women
have arranged a meeting to be held
in Carnegie hall on the evening of
Feb. %. Chauncey M. Depew is to pre-
side. It is expected that the comman-
der and Mrs. Booth will be. present to
hear all the pleasant things that will
be said about them, and before the
meeting adjourns some form of COM
munication will be framed to be sent
to General Booth requesting him to
rescind his order and permit the COM
mander and his wife to remain in
charge of the work they have carried
on so successfully.

Society enjoyed the usual number of
small affairs last week, but there were
no especially notable events The Alta
club ball is awake aing great interest
and will be the one large event before
Lent.
Great disappointment was felt in
society circles when the announce
ment was made that the Alta club ball
would not be given this year. But,
after a great deal of persuasion the
younger members have succeeded in
convincing the older club men that
they too have social duties to perform,
and the ball is now promised to take
place before Lent closes the doors of
society.
