philosophy some of the flossiest

he happened to pick up were neither

the most absolute fiction. and Morley

the same-mixing currents of light

phenomenon by looking at a small

This jumping in the telescope or

There was not a man who heard him
whose humanity was not Quickened.
The trade secrets were pooled. The
supply Of munitions was hastened.
This is the secret of his power. No
man of our period, when he is pro-
foundly moved and when he permits
his genuine emotion to carry him
away. can utter an appeal to con-
science with anything like SO compell-
ing a simplicity. His failure lies in
a growing tendency to discard an in
stinctive emotionalist for Q calculated
a astuteness which too often attempts
to hide its cunning under the garb OF
honest sentiment. His intuitions are
unriyaled; his reasoning powers In
considerable.
WHEN Lloyd George first came to
London he shared not only
room in Gray's Inn. but the one bed
that garret contained with fellow
countryman. They were both incon-
veniently poor. but Lloyd George. the
poorer in this. that as member OF
parliament his expenses were the
greater. The fellow-lodger, who aft
erward became private secretary to
one of Lloyd Georges rivals, has told
me that no public speech of Lloyd
George ever equaled in pathos and
power the speeches which the young
member of parliament would often
make in those hungry days. seated. on
the edge OF the bed or pacing to and
fro in the room. speeches lit by one
passion Of justice and directed to one
great object; lit by the passion OF
justice. directed to the liberation Of
all peoples oppressed by every form
of tyranny.
This spirit of the intuitional re-
former. who feels cruelty and wrong
like a pain in his own blood. is still
present in Lloyd George, but IT is no
longer the central passion of his life.

Trapping Eels.

THE eel is like the salmon in its life
habits. Both are saltwater fish
which migrate annually from the
ocean to fresh water. and return later
to the sea.
The motive Of this migration is dif-
ferent. however The salmon comes
from the ocean to spawn, and the
young fry are reared in fresh water
The eel goes to the sea to spawn and
dreds of miles, to the muddy bottoms
of fresh-water ponds and streams TO
grow and get fat. So cells are always
best with us in the Iete autumn, at
the time Of their return TO the sea-
A certain river in Maine has its
headwaters in q chain of twenty-four
muddy lakes and small ponds. and
the number of cells which travel
through it. spring and autumn, Is
enormous.
At a dam where an iron penstock
was newly placed to lead the water
down TO a turbine wheel. a strange
accident happened.
The penstock is five feet in diam
eter, two hundred feet long. and falls
fifty-two feet, and when autumn came
the cells tried to pass through It. Such
were their numbers that the 400
horsepower turbine was choked and
stopped by their bodies. A day OF
hard works was acquired to clear the
pe1stock;s5 4 ctoeec wire netting was
placed to project the entrance.
The dam and penstock and wire
netting of course interfered with the
migration Of the eels of those ponds
and streams. This, however. no one
appeared to understand. ana the
farmers. who liked to LAY down" a
barrel of cells for winter. went on
setting eel-pots on the wrong side OF
the DAM just as before. for they sup
posed that an eel lives in the mud at
one particular spot all its life long.
THAT summer a naturalist. who had
heard the story. came to see the
penstock and dam. and while looking
about he explained the migrations
of eels to one of the boys there.
Now, many boys would have for
gotten it all by the next day; but this
lad was bright enough to conclude
that il eels were all going one way
at one particular time, then would De a
good time to catch them.
He and two other lads put their
heads together and late IN OCTOBER
they attached strip of wire netting
two feet hlXn alOnS tne WHole Up
of the dam and made II fast at both
ends.
when. after the autumn rains.
water overfiowed the dam, it ran
through the netting. but the eeis
could not pass. They had to go to
point near the south end of the dam.
where the boys had folded the netting
into a kind of tunnel. with an ORR
flee four inches in diameter at the
down stream end.
Now, to this orif1ce the boys had
attached a piece of old fire hose.
twelve feet long. and had run the
other end into a hogshead at the
foot of the dam. They bored auger
holes in the slaves of the hogshead TO
let out the water.
This eel trap, founded on actual
knowledge of the life habits Of cells.
was an immense success. for cells in
great numbers on their way seaward
came nos;ng along the netting. and.
finding only one way out. landed in
the hogshead below. One night. fol-
lowing a heavy rainstorn. the boys
found the hogshead full Of cells.
During. the next nve nights they
caught nearly fourteen barrels of
cells, which they sold on the spot for
three dollars a barrel.
