SCALES OF THE eel.
Thsy Ars Very Minute and Resemble
Herrinsbons erieIvork.

Ttsy Ars Very Minute and Resemble
Herringbons erietwork.
In the ordinary acceptat:one Of the
term the eel is scaleless fish. But
1t is due to the fact that its scales are
very minute and imbedded in the skin.
They form, as pointed out by a cor
respondent, very interesting and beau
tiful objects for the microscope. In
size the scales Of the eel vary from one
twentieth of an inch upward, accord
ing to the age of the fish. They are
formed Of two layers of clear, horny
substance, the upper of which Is
studded with crystals Of calcium car
Donate. These are so transparent as
to look like empty cells. The scales
vary in shape from blunt to an
elongated oval and are sometimes al
most kidney shaped.
This is how the scales of the eel tell
it's age. On each may be observed at
intervals several more or less clearly
marked lines parallel to the margin.
These mark lines Of growth, one for
each year Of the life of the fish. Three
Years, however, must be allowed for
the innermost ring, us the eel has no
scales until the third year. The scales
do not overlap to any extent and are
arranged in series Of small groups at
right angles to each other, so as to
resemble what is known as herring
bone brickwork. Conger eels, how
ever, are said to have no scales.-Lon-

Douglas Marked the Man He Wanted
to Know Again.
stephen A. Douglas had the most
remarkable memory for faces Of any
man in public life" declares a CORE
spondent. Upon the occasion Of a
visit to Washington cn election day in
1880 the late Colonel John W. Forney
was discussing The election of Garfield
over Hancock with Colonel Harmon of
Detroit. Colonel Harmon had been
mayor Of Detroit arl prominent in ma.
tional politics. Harmon and Forney
got to talking about earlier politics.
and Harmon related the story of a
meeting with Douglas in New York
Douglas had been nominated in Balti
more by one faction Of the Democratic
party. Breckinridge was chosen by
the other faction in Charleston. When
he heard Of his nomination Douglas
was in New York. He entered the
Astor House. then the headquarters
for all politicians and the principal
hotel in New York. and Immediately
was surrounded by his political admir-
ers. Among them was Colonel Har:
mon. The latter. according to the
story he told me. Put forth his hand
and congratulated Douglas on his nom
iuation.
"'Thank you. Colonel Harmon re
piled Douglas.
Harmon was amazed that Douglas
should have remembered his name. for
he had met the little giant hut once.
fifteen years before. aud then for but
a brief period. After time he return
ed and asked Douglas how he was
able to call him BY name.
