Natures Children
Common Eel (Anguilla rostrata)

Along about 1777 it became defi-
nitely known that these strange snake
Like creatures had a family story that
was, indeed, thrilling one. That the
mother laid about 10000, 900 eggs was
not found out until many years later
when it was dicovered that the breed
ing place Of both the European and
American eels Is q region southwest
of Bermuda.
The eelets or young fry-sometimes
called elvers-are very thin and trans
parent, and resemble their parents not
at all. They were, until late years
thought to belong to different species
of fish.
AS soon as they can, they swim TO-
ward fresh waters, and that is why you
will find young elvers in fresh water,
though their birthplace has been in
the sea. 1t takes about two years for
them to grow to their full larval size
and one more year to pass through the
final metamorphosis, before they are
completely grown.
once they feel the urge 10 return 70
the scene Of their birth, nothing short
Of death prevents them from doing So
The obstacles overcome by eels, in the
form of waterfalls. docks and debris
in their pathway, are little short OF
miraculous. To see els milling about,
trying to leap over the barricade, Is
well worth going far to see.
To catch an eel, you may also have
to pit your wits against this slippery
member. Traps, eel-potS, seines and
hooks catch the willy fellow. Bob
bing for eels" Is considered great sport.
AS they are scavengers, choice Of bait
Is of no moment.
These travellers take life as it comes,
and they accept captivity unconcern-
edly, having been known to live to be
81 or even older as star boarders. No
other fish is known to live its youth
SO happily in fresh water, after 1t has
been born in salt water. You may look
upon an eel as an unusual fellow.

$500 acres of rich Iowa farm land.
Approximately 1,500 acres are
farmed by the Indians themselves.
The rest is rented to white farm
ers.
Affairs of all the Indians now are
managed by a business council,
which has functioned for years.
Younger members of the tribes
want to have voice in business af-
fairs, and are clamoring for a
change. A committee of the braves
has been appointed to work out a
schedule of proposed changes. It
will be submitted in September.

PALESTINE YIELDS
PAPYRI OF 566 A. D.
Find Documents in Greek for
First Time There.

New York.-Papyri have been dis
covered in Palestine for the first
time in history, according to word
received by Casper j. Kraemer Jr.,
professor of classics of New York
university.
The find, described by Professor
Kraemer as a novelty of the first
importance" came as result of
the failure of the water supply at
the site originally intended for ex-
cavation by the university's archae-
illogical expedition and the later
transfer of activities to Auja-Hafir.

ruins which had been used by
the Turks as center of military
operations during the World war,
and had suffered much damage
from trenches, machine-gun en-
placement and the like, provide
the second site," he said.
Find Complete Rolls.
While clearing debris the expedi-
ton discovered in an ancient fort
IS complete rolls of papyri and a
large mass of fragments. These are
written in Greek, which can be
dated by the script to the sixth cen
fury of the Christian era.
While much papyrus has been
discovered in Egypt and little in
Herculaneum, Italy and Iraq, no
single piece ever has been discov-
cred in the land of the Hebrews,
according to Professor Kraemer.
In fact, Palestine has always been
poor in archaeological finds, and
the present discovery is of vital
Importance to students of archae-
ology."
H. Dunscombe Colt, director of
the expedition, began work in the
town of Esbeita, in Southern Pal
estine, in 1888, where he made a
survey of Byzantine churches. Dur
ing the season the expedition has
been supported by the British
School of Archaeology and part
of it's funds will be donated by the
American Museum of Natural His
tory.
Ancient Name.
The first document sent to Pro-
fessor Kraemer and his associate,
Prof. Ernest L. Hettich, to be de-
ciphered, revealed that the ancient
name of the town was "Nilo-
espporionpolis Village" The docu-
ment, dated September Is, 566, is
legal agreement between a broth
er and sister concerning property
left by their grandmother.
''The language of the document
is in excellent Greek without prov
incial peculiarities or misspell-
ings," Professor Kraemer said.
'tThe handwriting is that Of a
trained scribe who had learned the
type of hand practiced by officials
throughout the late Roman empire,
and the legal Technology is iden-
teal with that used in any part of
the Greek world.
There is every reason to expect
that in view of these documents
some information will be cleaned
about the conditions in Southern
Palestine when Mohammed led his
Arabs from the desert in the surge
which was to overwhelm the whole
Near East, and ultimately to ex-
tend well into Europe"

During the past three years the

During the past three years the
Hester street and Park avenue of
this city have both come to under
stand that they belong to the same
economic pattern and indeed to the
same Nation as the cotton, corn
and hog belts and the flood areas
and the dust bowls. Not so long
ago 1t was the farm against the
city and the city against the farm.
From now on. If both are to pros
per, it must be the farm with the
city and the city with the farm.
Economists are still trying to
find out what 1t was that hit us
back in 1929. am not a profess
sional economist, but think
know. What hit us was a decade
Of debauch. Of group selflshness-
the sole objective expressed in the
thought-"every man for himself
and the devil take the hindmost."
And the result was that about 98
per cent Of the American popu-
lation turned out to be the hind
most"
Let me illustrate what happened
by taking the case of the garment
workers in New York City. They
make 40 per cent Of all the clothes
Of the Nation worn outside Of New
York City. Their work and wages
in this city were dependent on the
sales they made all over the coun-
try. The garment workers de-
preston did not begin in 1929.
It began back in 1921, when the
depression began on the farms Of
the Nation. But back in the 20s,
people in power still thought Of
prosperity chiefly in industrial
terms. They overlooked the farm
depression: and because it went
unrelieved the troubles that started
among the farmers in 1921 finally
and inevitably reached the gar.
ment workers on Eighth avenue.

Nebraska's corn and Eighth av-
enue's clothing are not different
