The eel was forty seven inches long,
as large around the body as the wrist

thirteen pounds.
Balinski killed the eel in low water,
1t evidently having been caught In the
pool where it was captured when the
tide went out.
The collar, of the sort worn by a
small dog, was securely locked about
its neck and so tight as to cause the
skin to bulge out around the edge. The
initials wv. r. c." and the name
prince" were engraved ON a silver
name plate.
The cells back was badly SCARED,
showing where 1t had been speared on
various occasions. Four fish hooks
with lines attached were found in the
monsters mouth.
1T was almost impossible for me to
hold the eel after I grabbed it," said

what in his opinion would be the next
improvement in automobiling. He re-
piled: Cement roads. believe that
In ten years cement roads will band
the country from one end to the other
20 the exclusion of all other kinds"
Mr.. Edison does not believe there Is
need Of a substitute for rubber for
tires. He said: Rubber trees are be-
ing planted in the tropical countries
A vast amount Of capital is going into
rubber tree farms. Eventually there
will be great influx of rubber har-
vested from them. I am told by manu-
facturers Of automobiles that rubber
should be cheaper today than year
ago. They expect rubber to 60 down."
Asked what improvements could be
expected in newspaper making In the
next decade. he replied: Something
to save paper. If noncarbonized inks
were used--inks that would bleach
papers could be run through the press
es again by the aid Of an invention or
two and be used several times. It's

BIG VICTORY FOR
LOVERS OF BIRDS
Democratic Caucus In Senate
Restores Protection.

Washington.-Action Of the Demo
cratic caucus in the United States sem
ate, in voting to withdraw the amend
ment previously adopted to the bird
protecting clause Of the tariff bill, and
to restore the measure as 1t was writ
ten by the house committee, Is taken
by those who have been waging the
fight against the feather trade" as a
certain and complete victory for the
friends Of wild bird life.
The new tariff bill will prohibit the
importation Of wild birds plumage
for commercial purposes, no matter
from what country they come, and
will abolish in the United States and
all Its territorial possessions the traffic
In skins and feathers Of slaughtered
wild birds. Among the senators who
worked In behalf Of this measure are
Senators Mclean, Chamberlain, Lane,
who made an aggressive stand in the
caucus fight Of Tuesday; O'Gorman,
Hitchcock, John Sharp Williams, Gore.
Bryan, Bacon, Shively and others.
This campaign was inaugurated and
managed by the New York Geological
society and National Association Of
Audubon Societies. Immediately 1t
attracted the support Of national and
state federations of women's clubs,
the State Audubon societies, many
patriotic societies of women, the Wo-
mems League For Animals and other
organizations and free lance leaders.
The number Of personal letters writ
ten to members Of congress in this
campaign was enormous. 1t Is esti-
mated that 100000 would be under
rather than above the mark. The plan
is now to carry the fight to England.
Germany and France.
