Life Of the Con,mon Eel,

The life history OF the common eel
Just completed by DR.. John Schmidt is
mentioned as one OF the most fascinat-
Ing ever worked out by the naturalist.
The spawning ground for Europe
proves to be the Atlantic, where the
depth Is about 500 fathoms, along the
coast from Norway to Spain, and to
this deepsea region the ellis make a
Aong Journey from the inland fresh
waters Of the continent.
Here the females deposit their eggs,
which gradually develop into deep, rib
sbon-shaped larvae (leptocephalus bre-
svirostris). The leptocephali reach their
agreatest development about June, when
they "a to feed and enter into d
~retrogressive metamorphosis lasting
about a year, In which they take no
food and gradually decrease In size and
take on the slender eel-like form.
Near the close Of this metamorphosis
the creatures, now become elvers, be-
come very active. They start in vast
numbers toward the coasts, entering
the nearest rivers in September to De-
cember, those farther away In Janu-
airy or February, but not reaching Dan
Ash waters until April and May. Many
perish in the passage Of the English
channel and other waters on the way.
The remnant OF the army Of young cells
dnally becomes scattered In the streams
all over Europe. where they feed and
grow and prepare to make the return

fifty other boys, n%eighbors of mine, and

drilling, writes james Malone in the
National Tribune, and before many
days we had the SeceSSioniSts to con-
tend with. We made our own flags

guns, some single-barrel and some
double-barrel shotguns, while some had
no guns, but had big knives made out
of pillow files. This was April %, and,

souri, for three years. 1 re-enlisted near
Vicksburg on March 81, 1860, and
served until April 10, 1866. In all l
had over four years service. My Home
Guard service was just as hard as the
United States service. My first battle,
after enlisting in the United States
service, was Shiloh, and 1 think 1 know

first engaged. A part of my regiment

Attitude of Some Southerners.
A curious and striking Illustration OF
the attitude of some Southerners Of
to-day toward the Union comes from
Dallas, Texas. A sham battle had
Deer planned as a part of h attrac-
ton of an agricultural fair. The par
Elephants on one side were to be the
Confederate Guards, an organization of
Civil War, veterans, and OF the other
a body of the National Guard. The
commander of the Confederate forces
informed those in charge of the plans
that on no account would his troops
take part if the national guardsmen
used the American flag. "We will not
fire on the Stars and Stripes even in a
sham battle. We stopped doing that
in 1865" he declared. This Is the
spirit that prompts the patriotic dis
putes among boys who are planning
a battle of the Revolutionary War:
swell, who's going to be the British?
