phalus to elver, as the young eel is
known.
This eel is the same as that caught
in far inland ponds and muddy
streams, and makes a wonderful jour-
ney to arrive there. They can live
for long periods out of water, as is
well known among fishermen, and
sometimes travel overland, from
stream to stream, or up the faces of
dams and along the sides of>rocks, in
search of sufficient water. 1t is said
the male remains along the coastal
waters while the female makes the
inland trip. The three or four inch
elvers may easily be picked from the
faces Of dams or other distractions
as they climb, after a fashion cf
clinging under the water film, TO the
rocks.
They live for years in fresh waters,
the period being variously placed at
from five years to as many as twen-
ty and thirty as estimated by the
Englishman. 0. Tate Regan. In the fall,
the mature cells journey back to the
sea, the males then being from twelve
to eighteen inches in length, and the
females never less than eighteen. At
the original breeding places 1t is be-
lieved they spawn and die, as they
are never seen again.
1t is during this fall trip the eels
fall prey to fishermen, who reap a
good harvest as they are prime food
fish. While not SO highly priced in
this country, in Europe they are con-
siderable exceedingly high from the
North Sea to Italy, and the Danish
and Holland industries are of es-
pecial importance in those countries.
The fish are caught in traps similar
to lobster pots or rat traps, entering
a narrow funnel mouth after the bait,
and being unable to find the outlet.
It is estimated by the Bureau of

Law Enforcement
Program Friday Evening
Of Especial Interest

A fine program in observance of
Law Enforcement Day was presented
Friday evening at the Augusta Girls
Community Club by the members of
the Loyal Temperance Legion of this
city. A large audience was present
and were well pleased with the var
ious numbers on the ~ogram.
Especially good were the Enforce
ment Drill, the chorus by several
boys and girls, and the violin duets
by Lillian Peters and Ami Cloutier.
A novel feature was the parade of
patriotic doll carriages which took
place in connection with a tabeau
and dialogue. The part, Columbia
was taken in this tablcau by Miss
Marjorie Peaslcy. Stanley Mount
fort with his recitation, "How Many
are There of Him." brought down
the house.
The prayer, after the singing of
the Star SpaHgled Banner" was
, given by Rev: w. j. Layton of this
city, and Miss Edith Olsen of Bos-
ton presided at the piano.
After the program, ice cream,
lemonade and confectionery were
served and the table was we'll pa
tronied. Much credit is due to the
committee consisting of Mrs. Lottie
! Kerr and Mrs. Lena Pierce for the
fine manner in which the program
was carried out and the ease with
which the children took the parts
a-5igned to them.

Play
Tom Mix. the strenuous daredevil
star Of William Fox picture. is one Of
the few men on the screen today
who refuse to be what is
known in motion pictures as "a
ready-made hero" He insists on
performing his screen heroics under
the most difficult circumstances; al
ways getting himself snarled in gen.
uine perils and nerve-racking situa-
tions. Then, while the audience looks
on with bated breath, he calmly ex-
tricates himself by the power Of his
own muscles and wits.
His latest picture, 1.-THE Fighting
Streak" is an admirable example Of
all this. 1t will be shown at the Co
lonial on Saturday and will keep the
audience on. edge throughout. Mix

himself in romance and adventure
even to the point Of putting himself

ing to Dr. H. F. Moore, Deputy Com
missioner of the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries, that of the millions of
young making the trips, instances of
discovery of the European species in
American waters, and vice versa,
have been exceedingly rare. And
there is no interbreeding between
the two.
The European species, DR.. Schmidt
found, deposit their eggs and breed
IN section to the south and east of
the Bermudas, while the other breeds
to the south and west Of the islands.
The first make a three year migra-
tlon to the shores of Europe from
the North Sea to Italy, while the Sec
ond journey to the American coast
from New England to the south coast,
taking only few months or a year.
1t was found that the eggs are
hatched at depths of about 200 me-
tres, the young larvae gradually ris-
ing as they grow until some were
found on the surface. 1t is also true
that the larvae vary their depth in
the water according to the time of
day. At this stage, and until they
reach coast waters, they are known
as "leptocephalide" and are ribbon.
or eaf-skap ped and quite transparent;
SO transparent, in fact, that under a
lerse the vertabrae may be counted,
the only means of determining the
species. The European variety, it
was found, have more vertebrae than
the American.
The translucent quality is believed
to be a means Of avoiding peril, as
the leptoeephalus is found in schools
along the coast line in spring and
must undoubtedly form food for
larger fish. As they approach shoal
brackish water there comes a mar
veious metamorphosis, they change
from the ribbon shape to the cylindri-
cal familiar form, but are still trans
parent. They become much thicker
and are even shorter than before.
They gradually assume light lines of
pigment, though remaining transiu-
cent for some time, and as the pig
ment increases the dark color be-
comes more and more apparent until
they are Of the familiar color.
In this connection is pointed out
the immense trip the leptoeephalide
make, those journeying to European
waters being three years on the way,
50 that, according to DIR. Schmidt,
there are always two migrations on
the way, and in early spring, three,
before the first reach shore. As it is
not until brackish water is reached
that the metamorphosis occurs, the
question that still puzzles scientists
ig whether the American species ma
lures more rapidly than the other, or
whether the change Of water -is nec.
essary for the change from leptocs.

Danish Expeditions
Sole Purpose to
Consider the Eel

Washington, July 21-(By the AS
sociated Press)-The common, every
day, mudhole eel, the problem Of fish
ermen, especially the small boy,
when it comes to taking him off a
hook. is an elusive subject, but his
| life history typifies one Of the mar
vels of the sea, and recent announce
nents have added to his reputation.
Reports have just reached here Of
the success Of a Danish expedition to
The Bermudas, in answering the an
cient question of the cells origin.
Headed by DR.. jobs. Schmidt, direct
r OF the Carlsbeg Laboratory, Of
Copenhagen, the party, on the ship
Dana. has been searching the seas
for seven months to find where the
eel breeds and is hatched. AS the eel
industry is of prime importance in
Denmark, the party was equipped by
the government and several societies
in conjunction. DR.. Schmidt has
been making a special study Of the
eel for more than fifteen years.
Since at least $50 B. C. scientists
have been trying to find the cells
birthplace, and by tracking down the
route found taken by the young eels
DR.. Schmidt placed the breeding
grounds between the Bermudas and
the Leeward Islands, where the sea
reaches a depth of more than a mile.
Here the most remarkable discov-
cry was made: that the European
species and the American, which
vary so slightly as to be almost neg
ligible, and absolutely so to the lay
man, breed side by side and eventual
ly start for their later homes, thou
sands Of miles away, but that neither
variety ever goes to the others fresh
water grounds.
