During the year 1905, compared

has been saving of 1854 lives, rep.
resenting a gain to the community
of 757,O1G years OF life capital. There
has been continued fall in the Lon
don death rate, which is now nearly
thirty per cent. lower than at the
coming into operation of the Public
Health (London) act. 1891.
Out of a population of 4,GS4.794
the actual number of deaths during
the year was 70,442, or 15.1 per
1000. In 1S41-5O the rate was 24.S.

Life History of the Eel.

The mystery which has so long
shrouded certain important facts in
the life history of the eel are being
gradually cleared up. 1t is now some
time since group of small-headed
transparent and ribbon-shaped fish,
named by naturalists Leptocephalia.
were identified as the young of vari-
Gus species of eel. Among these Ital-
ian naturalists recognized the one
named Leptocephalus brevirostris as
the young OF the common eel. 1t was
further determined that eels spawn
in the Mediterranean in comparative
ly deep and warm water. The most
recent information as to the spawn
ing place OF the eel is to be found in
the journal of the Marine Biological
Association. Drs. Schmidt and Peter.
sen, of the International Fisheries In.
vestigation Association, have found
quantities of 'Leptocephali," or
young cells, in the depths of the At.
lantic. They conclude that eels
spawn in deep and relatively warm
water northwest and west of Scot
land.

Tree Alcohol stimnlates AgricuIture.

Although the United States Is a
vastly larger country than Germany,
we raised a potato crop In 1906 of
only 260,741,294 bushels, as com
pared with the potato crop of 1,775,-
579,073 bushels which Germany
raised. These bushels were of sixty
pounds each.
The explanation of so immense a
production OF potatoes by Germany is
found in the fact that the free distil-
lation OF alcohol for use in the arts
has been a powerful stimulus to farm
industry. Farming In some districts
OF the empire has been made possible
only because of the ability OF the peo-
pie to produce cheap alcohol, and
many farms owe their very existence
to their distilleries.
Not only has free alcohol been a
stimulus TO agriculture, but it has
been OF incalculable value in many
lines OF commercial development, and
has added greatly in raising Germany
to her present industrial station

A Legend OF Ireland.
by BOLTON HALL.

There was King in Billigoland
In the old days that had three sons,
and fine lusty fellows they were.
Now, one day the three fell disputing
as to which of them should be king
when their father was dead; and
from words they came to blows, till
they were all black and blue.
After they had hammered the fight
out OF one another, they agreed to
leave the matter to their father.
But the old man had seen before
how referees fare at the baseball
games. and he would not decide: so
they fell TO fighting again till they
had hammered some sense into one
another, and then agreed that each
was to go his way for three years
and learn what business he liked, and
when they should return the father
was to try them. and the best man
was to have the Kingdom.
After three years they met again.
and the father said to the youngest,
What have you learned?" And he
said. I've learned to be farmer. 4"
Lets see you raise two crops for
your brothers." said the King. So
he raised two crops with half the la
Dor and twice the produce as any
mans in Ireland
Very good!" said the King. you
have the difference for your reward -
And what have you learned?" he
said to the second. i've learned to
be a carpenter" Lets see you
make two houses for your brothers. 8"
said the King. So he made two
houses half as dear and twice as good
as any mans In ireland.
Very good" said the King. "You
have the difference for your reward
but If your brother is as good as you
two, l can't decide after all"
and what have you learned" he
said to the oldest. i've learned to
be landlord" he said. Lets see
you make two leases for your broth.
ers,' said the King
So he made two leases, and he
raised the rents twice as much and
made the plots half as big as any
mans in ireland.
Faith" said the old man, Now
l don't have to decide at all. for
you're the King already. Puck.
