fish that have been busily engaged In
hunting all day and are taking life
quietly. Although hearty feeder. the
eel grows slowly, reaching the ripe age
of Is to 20 years. The age can be de-
termined by the Winter rings on its
scales which do not appear until after
the third or fourth year
When fully grown, both sexes feel
the urge that rlshes them toward the
sea. They cease eating and travel
mostly at night. The color varies ac-
cording to where the eel has spent
most Of its life, but as it goes toward
the sea, 1t turns darker and darker.
Sometimes 1t takes months for the
travellers to reach their goal, and after
they have at last reached the salt
water, they drop out Of sight.
Eel eggs have never been seen after
an eel has reached her desired goal,
and 1t Is known that both male and
female die after spawning.
Eels are said to grow to be almost
four feet In length and weigh about
Is pounds. They have pointed snout
and q large, gaping mouth which
reaches back and past the middle of
the eye. Their eyes are small and
round, and they develop scales after
the third or fourth year. The dorsal
fin originates far behind the pectoral
I'm, and this Is its chief distinguishing
mark.

he came out he carried q basket care
fully. Unc' Billy couldn't see what was
In that basket. He didn't need to. He
knew without seeing. That basket was
filled with eggs, nice freshly laid eggs.
Farmer Browns Boy disappeared with
them In the direction Of the house.
You see he hadn't collected them the
night before.
Unc' Billy sighed dolefully. It wasn't
fair. No, sir. It wasn't fair Of Farmer
Browns Boy to have all those eggs
and he, Unc' Billy, wanting some SO
much. He could climb the fence and
get into that house now, but what
was the use? There were no eggs there
now. Farmer Browns Boy had all OF
theme So Unc' Billy sighed few times
more and then resumed his interrupted
sleep. Perhaps he could dream that he
had eggs and that would be next best
to really having them. II he didn't
dream about them he could at least
forget them and his disappointment,
and at the same time get the rest he
needed and so be prepared for further
adventure. He meant to get into that
hen house. He was simply biding his
time. More eggs would be laid during
the day. He meant to get even with
Farmer Browns Boy for fooling him
with that china egg.

L. It was q delight to see so many
readers face to face, and to OBJ

The strange things called "sun spots"
seemed to fascinate the boys and girls.
These spots cannot be seen when we
glance at the sun. but II we use tele-
scope fitted with a special eyepiece and
a shade we can see them plainly. It is
not safe to gaze at the bright sun for
more than q split second unless you use
q smoked glass or other shade. Some
persons have hurt their eyesight by do
ing so.
Long ago q scientist learned that the
position Of sun spots changes from day
to day. A spot of q certain shape Is
seen at one side Of the sun on Monday,
and on Tuesday this spot is observed a
little farther from the side.. II 1t Is q

the center Of the sun the following Mon

Then the spot will 60 out OF sight and

HEW realize that the eel spends its
- long life in fresh water, then
goes to the sea in its old age to
i spawn but once and die. For
centuries the eels have puzzled
many and only recently has the true
life story of eels been known.
Millions of pounds of eels, worth
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars, are
caught from Florida to Maine each
year. Great barges arrive in New York
from Quebec with pounds and pounds
of live eels. The, great catches are
made when the eels are working their
way to the sea, from July until Octo-
Der. While America has large catches
of eels, 1t is said that Europe has
greater ones.
The mother eels may have as many
as 10.000,00 eggs, the average being
half that number The young eels are
called elvers and are so transparent
you may read ordinary print through
them. They grow rapidly, and by the
time they are one year old they are
more than two inches long. Then they
begin to transform and appear IN
fresh-water streams. The elvers have
the ability to surmount obstacles on
their journey upstream. They climb
over falls and dams, and even work
their way over rocks. They can live
for some time out of water.
Eels are scavengers, and though it
Is claimed that they seek muddy bot
toms and still water, many have been
seen in swiftly running streams and
in sandy trout streams, too. The fact
is, eels are very sturdy, can live and
thrive where food Is plentiful and are
at home in warm or cold water. No
animal food, living or dead, Is refused.
Being very greedy, any bait will catch
them.
All day they usually lie in the mud.
and at night they come forth to catch

Your Baby and Mine

r WANT to know what to do for
hiccoughs," asks Mrs. e. E. p. She
holds the baby up over her shoul-
i der and gives her plain boiled
water to drink, but nothing helps.
Right after feeding the baby belches
two or three times, and then she has
the hiccoughs.
Probably her feedings have some
thing to do with it," surmises this
young mother. "She is seven weeks
old. She weighed 6h pounds at birth
and now weighs 9Hz. She has 18 ounces
of milk, 10 ounces Of boiled water and
ula Is from my doctor and he empha-
sized the point that it is not to be
changed. She gets ~ ounces at each
feeding. She takes 50 long to finish
q feeding, how can I hurry this up?
II handle her very gently when !
wash her, but she seems to be terribly
frightened and screams until she Is
blue. I'm careful to have the water
neither too hot nor too cold, but I'm
afraid to give her bath. I'll be CRATE
full II you can help me-"
Your present formula Is such good
one think you would be very unwise
to change 1t. When young babies spit
up little sour milk and then swallow
II p0ck, LnlS lrIlCatlOu IN the eSOpudSuS
sets up the hiccoughing. Offer the baby
few drinks of water to wash down
the irritation and stop the hiccoughs.
Holding the baby up over your shoulder
encourages belching.
Perhaps you need to enlarge the hole
in the rubber nipple. Do this by pune
turing the nipple with . red hot needle
The milk should drop rapidly but not
run in o stream from the bottle.
For the time being give baby sponge
baths. Have q bath thermometer ct
hand and see that the bath water reg
isters % to 90 degrees.
When . baby Is afraid Of being low
cred into Q tub, 1t sometimes helps to
cover the tub with Turkish towel and
let him sink into the water on 1t. Fear
Of the tub was probably aroused by
baby's discomfort during his first few
baths. Have the room warm 50 that
he isn't chilled, and wrap towel about
his extremities while you wash head
and face. I believe you will be helped
by my leaflet on How to Bathe the
Baby" and I shall be happy to send
you copy upon receipt OF your re-
quest accompanied by q self-addressed

an aigg! Seems like All can't get along
without an aigg. Always does want
aiggs this time of year."
He reached the edge Of the Green
Forest. There he stopped and long
ingly looked back to Farmer Browns
hen house. He hesitated few minutes,
then turned back and shufded along
over to the old stone wall on the edge
of the Old Orchard. Along this he
made his way until he was opposite the
hen house and only little distance
from it. There he crawled down be-
tween the stones Of the old wall until
he was quite out Of sight. There he
made himself comfortable It was just
beginning to be light.
"Ahe will just sleep the day away

Gold Uncertainty Not Favorable to Development
 Of New Properties

However much we, as resi- dents of a distinctly hardrock mining camp, may dislike the suggestion involved, there is much logic behind the view expressed by mining observers that the present high gold price is not likely to induce any great amount of new mine development.
 As pointed out by these con- mentators, time is one of the most important factors in the development of rock mines from the prospect or partially developed state into active mineral producers. Save in un- usual instances, two or more years of time is required for the opening of drifts and shafts to prove in conclusive manner the existence of suf- ficient ore tonnage to warrant commercial exploitation. Then comes the additional time-con- suming process of blocking out the ore for economical extrac- ton, requiring in most instan- ces as much or more under ground work as is consumed in proving the existence of the ore bodies. Time is also re- quired for the installation of mills and other mining equip ment and the development of transport systems.
 Few hardrock properties have a record of less than two years of active preliminary de- velopment before they con- menced to yield dividends and where sulphide ores are in- volved the time is often con- siderably longer.
 Weighing these consider ations against the undeniable fact that present high gold prices are not primarily the result of natural conditions but to a major extent are of arti- ficial creation and unstable, it appears obvious that there may be a considerable differ ence between current prices and those which may prevail when the nations finally be- come sensible enough to agree on an international gold price; as they are certain to do even- tually.
 No doubt the value decided
