With Q far on stretch OF View,

Mountain range far on the edges,
Where the earth line meets the blue.
just a day In June-and you.
Just perchance the waving marshes,
Sweeping DER the lowland leas.
Far out yonder to the seaward,
just a rag on to tho leeward,
Fore an on shore spanking breeEe
Swung twixt two eternities.
Just a tramp across the meadows,
Just the glory OF the shine,
Round about you, in and out YOU.
Just 4 brook wherein a trout you
Took while casting ny and linei
Just o bobolink upsprinGing,
Singing, soaring, ever singing,
With melody divine.
Just Q wild rose In the byWays,
With Its shy and friendly nod,
Stunning the more stately highwayA
whsre the march Of commerce tTod.
Just the very Joy OF iivtnEi
with deep and long drawn breath,
Like the swapping Of your fingers
In the very face OF death,
While you look out on this open,
Fling yourself upon the sod.
Just living, breathing dust spec;s
In the great workshop of God.

EeIs.

r. L. Turner Of saw Hecker street.
Newark. writes to THE SUN asking
about the habits of eef. about which
there has been much mystery.
1t has long been known Nhat during
the months of October. November De-
cember and January cells that descend
from the fresh waters are in n sexually
immature condition. These sexually i'm
mature cells go to the depths Of the sea,
live there for eight months or more and
during this time become sexually ma
ture II is not known whether the eggs
are laid near the surface or on the bot
tom. The female eel lays from 5000, 900
to 100000 eggs. After spawning the
cells die, none ever returning to the
coast or river.
Larye are found in spring and sum-
mer. In the autumn and winter. usually
during the months of October, Novem-
Der, December. January and February,
these young cells pass from the sea into
the fresh waters in great numbers. In
this stage Of growth the cells are called
elvers. These migrations are usually
referred to as eelfares. About two years
then intervene between the descent OF
the parent cells and the ascent OF their
progeny.

with respect to the raising OF the

HAS CONTROL OVER GAS.
Court Of Appeals Upholds Maryland
Public Service Commission.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March S.-The
court of appeals of Maryland has
rendered a decision uphoIding the
right Of the public service commits
sion to regulate the price to con-
sumerS of natural gas produced in
West Virginia and pipcd to Mary
land. The consumers ut present are
chiefly in Cumberland and nearby
points, but the matter of distributing 3
the gas throughout the state. includ-
ing Baltimore city, is being discussed.
The corporations denied the right
of the commission to interfere, claim
ing that they were engaged in inter-
state commerce. The court of ap-
peals overruled their contention, the
ground being that, inasumCh as the
gas was transferred to distributing
tanks and pipes, its original cond.-
tion was altered and il became a
broken package within the mean
ing of the law. and not the subject
of federal protection.
