Entered at Warren, Post Office as Second Class Matter SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1930 AN EPIC OF THE EEL Some 2,200 years ago Aristotle dignified the lowly eel by puzzling about the mystery of its life. Following him came scores of scientists who jousted with the problem with no success. All knew the mature eel, the smaller elver.

None ever saw the larvae on the spawning ground. None knew where eels went to breed. the two-masted, 138 ft. Dana, one-time British minesweeper in the Baltic, slipped into Naples last says a correspondent of Time, the Newsmagazine, solution of the eel mystery was held in notebooks which she carried. Dr.

Johannes Schmidt, famed ichthyologist, had cruised 40,000 mi. about the globe tracking down the eel. Dr. findings included the fact that eels from the eastern U. S.

and western Europe all spawn in the Sargasso Sea. When eels feel the procreative urge they leave their freshwater homes, start for this vast backwater of the Atlantic east of the Antilles. It is a one-way journey for them, for once their function is performed they die. theorists have guessed that female eels lay their eggs at great depths, diving down until the pressure forces the eggs out of their bodies, then expiring. The male is then pictured as swimming rapidly over the floating eggs, fertilizing them, expiring in turn.

Dr. Schmidt did not touch on these matters. But he did reason that the necessity for warm, deep, still salt water was an explanation for the choice of the Sargasso Sea as a breeding place. female eel lays some ten million eggs. As soon as they hatch, the landward journey of the must start.

If dilatory they will outgrow their salt water days, perish before they reach fresh water. In the laiwae form eels grow to a length of about twelve inches, transparent, gelatinous creatures of which the only substantial parts are two disembodied eel eyes like mother of pearl. the Atlantic cel larvae hegira reaches a point about the latitude of Bermuda, the great stream divides into eastbound and westbound branches. Soon the 12-inch larvae shrink to 2-inch elvers which have much the same characteristics as the adult. the freshwater streams from which their mothers camy the progeny direct themselves.

Once in the parental river they seek out the spot from which their mothers came, settle there to carry on eel family history. from other parts of the world spawn in two great centers. One is off Australia, the other in Indian waters. To discover these facts Eelman Schmidt banded thousands of eels, tracked them about the MAN AND THE MOB keen critics of affairs have long been aware that one of the chief perils of American of the life of the standardization, the mob- spirit, a naive faith that getting a large crowd to do tl same thing is. progress.

But there has seldom been so sweeping a condemnation as that of the writer who calls himself K. in King Mob. He attributes almost all of the evils of the present day to the rule of the mass production, propaganda, inner emptiness and outer restlessness, nationalistic hysteria. Most of us are aware that this evil is a real one, and against it we should fight till our last breath. But should we not suspect any universal and uncomprising attempt to trace one increasing or governs all life? After all we are human, and we have to live together, and our resemblances are bound to outnumber our differences.

Even the aristocrats had their marked uniformities. The old-time nobility, The Oxford or Harvard graduate of a former day, the English gentleman, the of the present, are as completely members of a mob as the readers of the Saturday Evening Post. And we wonder whether there is not as great an opportunity for individual initiative and genius among the American farmers all listening to the same concerts on the radio, and driving the same kind of cars, as among those who drove the same sort of oxen, and had to plough the same sort of in The Churchman. do not wish to seem an alarmist, yet in my judgment the present situation between France and Italy could lead to conflict at any says Frank H. Simonds, expert in international affairs, in the current Review of Reviews.

They never do. for his products the consumer sometimes eventually gets a little of the benefit, but not until the middle man and the retailer get theirs, if then. C. B.

Denman of the Federal Farm Board recently pointed to sharp declines in the prices of beef. Dressed beef in Chicago he says, has been selling from from 20 to 37 per cent less than a year ago, the greatest reductions being iu the cheaper cuts. Retail prices for beef, he assured all housewives, ought to reflect the full reduction possible under present prices. Help the Ilouseulfe But none of the figures available here indicate that the housewife has been getting much of a break on sirloin or round steaks, or rib roasts or chuck roasts. On a rough estimate, however, it is said that wholesale prices of food are about 10 per cent lower than the high mark last year and retail prices about 5 per cent.

The monthly survey of retail food prices made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics covers 22 of the most commonly used articles of food and apples by the peck, meat in huge chunks and eggs at least by the dozen. In these days of kitchenettes the retailer finds himself doling out two or three eggs or a single lamb chop at a time and flour, potatoes, apples and such food are bought often in one-pound lots. Middle Man Is anishing The middle margin of profit is usually more or less fixed. He used to get a lot of blame for the high cost of living, but lately the tendency has been to squeeze him out. Mass buying by chain, stores and leagues, establishment of cheins by producers and farmer co-operatives are among the factors threatening to eliminate the jobber.

When they leave the mine at night they seldom change to dry clothing but proceed home in damp clothin.g; and increase the risk of chills. Of course, a similar factor occurs in worlcers in other occupations. A study of the available statistics indicated that miners were likely to suffer particularly with a high incidence of one type of rheumatism but they suffered less with acute rheumatic fever and infections of the joints than workers in other occupations. The type of rheumatic condition from which they suffer is called rheumatic fibrositis. Including chrondc paints and inflammations which are not directly related to infections involving the heart.

It seems quite likely that changes in the temperature, the humidity and the sunlight cannot be regarded as the cause of rheumatic disease, but that undesirable congi- binations of these factors may lower the resistance of the persoti so that variations may result in a greater likelihood of incolvment of the tissue by rheumatic fibrositis, and by such condition as pneumonia. As should be quite clear to everyone, human beings differ one from the other and their response to various outside factors varies. It becomes quite possible, however to generalize concerning the effects of these factors on a large scale and experience over a period of years seems to have established definitely the relationship of dampness and chilling to rheumatici disorders and Infections in the nose and throat.
