Mistral. the great Proyencal poet,
has been ikened to Robert Burns for
the work he did. But Burns task was
child's play compared with MistraPs.
The Scottish poet found bis language

tral had to create his means of ex-
preston. Provence! had lost every
resemblance to literary tongue, and
the new poet-patriot had to mold 1t
afresh, to recreate and to build up on
the ruins left by the vineyard and the
farm. "Our Provencal,' said Mistral.

She is now a wonderfully beautiful

the genius of Mistral can keep her
alive. The educational reformer in
France does not like such irregular

MYSTERY or THE EEL.
Juss How Its Existence Ends, y Why

No One Seems to Know.
OF all the forms of fish science has
studied the eel Is the most remarkable
and the least understood. Its life his
tory is mysterious and as slippery as
its own skin.
Its breeding grounds are the mid
I Atlantic. Mt what depth nobody
knows During the year the larval
eel remains ut sea it never eats ana
grows constantly smaller 1t finally
starts swimming toward the mouth OF
some fresh water stream-often one
that is Thousand miles away.
On arrival at It's destination the eel
promptly tlianges from the thinness

that permits only its giistening black
eyes to he seen to the pigmented
snakelike fish that Is trapped and
speared on the coast and in the rivers.
AS soon rs the eel has brought forth
its first spawning Of 100000 to 90
100000 eggs 1t dies, but just how its
existence ends or why it should be cut
off SO short remains mystery. One
thing is certain. no adults come in
from the sea. no adults remain In the
streams.
The eel is vertebrate animal which
emerges from an egg less than one
| twenty-0fth OF an inch In diameter.
1t grows to length Of three inches in
perhaps year, and during that time

drifts over a distance Of 1000 miles
or more.
Yet during all this period the eel
takes no food whatever and is doubt
less incapable of doing SO, owing to
the unprepared condition Of its diges-
tive organs.--New York American.
