BUT ONE REDEEMlNG POINT
Eel Declared to Be the Meanest Fish That Swims, Though 1t has
 Some Value as Food. #
sAExMA


 Alter a most thorough Investigation Into the habits et the common eel, Hugh N, smith. United States com. missioner Of fish and fisheries, has come to the conclusion that this little squirmy creature is the meanest and most cowardly of all fishes, The eel doesn't seem to have any courage at all, and when any of his neighbors show a disposition to fight, he sour. ries off as fast as he can and won't make a stand, even when approached by something smaller and weaker than himself. But he is always on hand to take advantage of some un. fortunate fish that has become hope. lessly entangled in a netting or is otherwise unable to defend itself.
 Hardly good word can be said for the eel, other than that he makes a fairly good food for us. But he de. stroys lot of valuable food by his fondness for the spawn of certain fishes. He does all in his power to keep up the cost of living
 The principal sufferers from his depredations are the shad and her. ring. Shad tastes particularly good to the eel, and his method of feeding on this fish makes him a great pest to fishermen. In streams where gill nets are laid. the sneaky little eel is at his best in causing trouble. As soon as fish is caught in one of the nets he hastens to the spot and begins picking away at the helpless victim and doesn't stop until he has con- stunned everything but the head and backbone. s,.

DRAW SALARY FOR EATING
Peculiar Occupation of Government Employees That Is Not Such
 "Snap," After All.

It sounds like the ideal job when but there are two men in Uncle Sam s employ who draw big salaries mainly because of this, and they will vouch for the fact that such a position is by no means as simple little thing as a person might suppose, the Washing ton Star states. Of course they do more than this. They investigate into foodstuffs, prepare reports and do other things that layman can hardly explain. But they get paid for eating as well. The two men are Dr. C. F. Langworthy, chief, and Dr. Robert Miiner, assistant, in the bureau of hygiene of the department of agri- culture These two men have g corps Of assistants who, like themselves. gre required to do plain and fancy eating. Occasionally subject is brought in, under the auspices of Uncle Sam. and he is placed in con- trivance which looks like a cell in a police station, and is fed and his tenn perature is taken. Reports are made as to the effect that the food had on him. Not long ago a cheese investi- eation began.
