EeIs Spawn at Sea.

EeIs Spawn at Sea.
The fact that biologists have been all
at sea about the whereabouts Of the
eel family's breeding comes to light
through the announcement that Danish
marine scientists have just completed
Investigations showing that the cells of
Europe spawn at depth OF $500 feet
in the Atlantic ocean to the southwest.
According to the eabled account, from
innumerable eggs there appear tiny
larvae called leptocephaii, which are
transparent. ielly-Iike and fat having
something Of the contour Of q tailless
herring. it is not known how long the
eggs take to develop the leptocephali.
but the latter occupy six months IN
transition to the familiar elyers, which
are about two inches long. The elYers

Increase of Beet Sugar.

increase of Beet Sugar.
More sugar was produced from the
beet than from the cane in this coun-
try last year for the first time, the beet
output being 672,0OO,OO0 pounds, ac-
cording to the bureau Of statistics.
The total amount of sugar consumed
In this country was 650O,00O,O00
pounds at cost Of S3OO,000O00. The
average per capita consumption was
seventy-six pounds, or half the indi-
viduaIs weight.
Milking Machines Endorsed.
Assistant Chief Lane Of the bureau
Of animal industry in bulletin No. 90
reports favorably on the use of the
latest milking machines operated by
intermittent suction. Some cows are
found to be little restless at first, but
soon become reconciled. He says their
general use will result In more and
cleaner milk.

meat eating nations. That ID not the
accepted view, but 1t is true. You can-
not tire out Japanese, who eats rice.
He will draw you all around the town
on pound Of rice and be as fresh at
the close Of the day as when he start
cd. You could not do that on pound
OF meat to save your life.''
As to the much advertised nerve and
brain foods DR. Wiley thought these
all nonsense, as also the idea OF get
ting fat on drugs On the contrary, he
said, most of them have degrading
effect. For instance, man will fatten
for time on arsenic, but lie kept up
the treatment soon causes death.
DR.. Wiley Is also authority for the
statement that every man eats every
day / per cent of his weight In dry
food, so that it requires 100 days for
him to "eat his own head on" This
at least is the average for the normal
Individual. If he eats less than this
amount, he will lose In weight: IL he
eats more, he will gain. The doctor
thinks that every person should con-
sumo total in liquids and solids Of
four and half pounds per day.
Referring to the necessity of main
tanning high condition of physical en-
ergy, DR.. Wiley says: "a man may
