Harvesting the Ocean.
(LewiSton Journal.)

Maine coast towns are Watching
with interest The recent development
OF the wave motor One, said to be
IN operation near Santa Cruz, Cal,
Is used for pumping, the power be-
ing derived from the lift of the
waves by means OF floats. The other
Is at Atlantic City. Here the tur-
bine principle is applied, and sufn-
cient power is obtained to light the
long pier, at the end of which the
mechanism is located. These two
machines suggest how the motion of
the waves may be utilized as a source
or power where not a great deal of it
Is needed. The waves, however. can
never "'val the tides, with their lin
ltleSs power, which is waiting to be
utilized i'm some practical way. The
great tide power at Winnegance
some day will be harnessed.

at Monte Carlo.

Waslin gton, Feb. 25.-Character-
izing those who deal in cotton and
grain futures as vicious gamblers,
free-booters and buccaneers, and
claiming that the gambling in cotton
is worse than at Monte Carlo, S. r.
Ladson, Of Atlanta, Ca, counsel for
the Farmers Union, addressed the
House Committee on Agriculture to-
day on legislation proposed to pre-
vent dealing in cotton and grain fu-
lures.
Representative Macon. Of Arkan-
sGs, who is the author of one of the
bills that has been introduced, also
addressed the committee. Mr.. Lad
son declared that the cotton specu-
lators sold 3S,OO0,OOO bales of cot
ton, although the production was
about 100000 bales. In 1908.
he said, it was estimated that 1OO.-
100000 bales were sold on the ex-
changes, while the actual cotton pro-
duced was only between 12,OOO,OOO
and 100000 bales.
III. w. Summers, of Dallas, Texas,
the attorney for the Texas Farmers
Union, also appeared before the COM
mittee.

Thinks Ii is Wrong!
[ Edgelield NeWS.l

There has passed the General AS
sembly a bill which is now law
prohibiting companies in or out of
the state selling any commodity in
different localities at different prices
under a penalty OF from $500 to
$1,000.
The purpose of the law is to stop
the practice of cutting prices in To-
calities with the aim of running out
competitors. The law applies to do
mestic as we'll as foreign concerns.
1t is getting time to call a halt on
domestic legislation. 1t is running
wild. The law destroys competition
and VIII work hardship on all pur-
chasers. 1t was aimed at the Stand
ard Oil Company, it seems, but it in
cndes every line of business in the
State.

LARVAL FORM OF EELS.
Indebted to Strait of Mcssina
for Discovery.
(London Daily Telegraph }

The Straits OF Messina are chan
nels of immense depth, through
which a wild tide surges, and owing
probably to irregularities at the bot
tom, there are whirling eddies which
have the effect of bringing uD from
the depths below many marine crea-
lures which are rarely seen except in
the deep sea travis. 1t was here
that the larval form Of a fresh water
eel was first discovered, an incident
which threw a blaze of light on the
life history Of very mysterious fish.
All kinds Of theories have been
given forth with regard to the prop
agation Of the eel. Some naturalists
declared they bred in fresh water.
others that they visited the estuary
for spawning purposes, but thanks
to the discovery of Messina and later
captures of the eel in it's larval form
1T Is now practically certain that af
ter mature eels drop down our riv-
ers in autumn they HE themselves to
exceedingly deep wa,cr in the sea and
there deposit their eggs. From the
egg comes a little ribbon shaped
creature, the larval form.
In due course this changes into an
eel OF still smaller size, strange to
say, and these small cells or elvers
afterward ascend our rivers and
there remain until they reach ma
turity, when they in turn descend to
the sea and history is repeated.

The inspection is done not at the theatres but at the offices of the manufactur- CTS, and pictures are seen several weeks in advance of the time for mak- ing them public.

 result in a gradual improvement of
