Where Eels Breed
The bureau of fisheries says that
eels breed in salt water. The Ameri
can eels breed in water 200 fathom?
deep off the southwest coast of Ber
muda. European eels breed within?
a few miles of the same place. The
two species have never been known
to cross-breed. Young eels migrate to
fresh water. No American eel has
ever been found in European waters
nor n European eel In American
streams.

Parti Put Their Dead
on Towers of Silence
It watt a terrifying sight and I was
che first European to see it. I had to
-amoutlage myself and to dress and
u*t like a native of India in order to
visit the sacred burial places of the
Parsl. says a writer in "Deutsche Med
izlnsche Wochenschrift."
The burial places, o* rather the stor
ng places, of the dead are the Towers
>f Silence. Foreij^xers can never get
there, dead or al'.re. All photographs
ire prohibited. Only by special Influ
-^<-e was it possible for me to get near
these strange towers. A Parsl to
whom I had been recommended bj a
friend agreed to guide me.
On Malabar hill there Is a grove,
surrounded by a high wall. A read
?kes one up to the house of the
guards. We happened to see the burial
?>f a rich Parsl. The body was dressed
n white linen and lay on a network
?if strong linen straps held np by 12
arriers. The entire mourning erowd,
Iressed in white instead of black, fol
iowed the corpse two and tw?. Each
? ouple was tied together by a white
linen ribbon. Eagles and hawks cir
cled about In the air.
I was unable to get to the Towers of
-Ulenee proper, but my companion de
scribed the burial procedure. The
corpse Is laid on the platform of ene
??f the towers by rten who are em
ployed for their whole lifetime In this
work. As the body begins to decay
the eagles come down. The skeleton
remains for about three moaths and
then is buried in a vaUey.
Possibility Venus of
Milo Never Had Arms
It may be some consolation to art
lovers throughout the world, who have
wondered In what position were the
missing arms of the famous Tonus de
Mi!? statue in the Louvre, feo learn
that even the ancients themselves were
perplexed on this point, according to a
letter to the Springfield (Mass.) Re
publican.
Doctor Edde, a French physician,
lias Just made known that during a re
cent visit to Egypt he came into pos
session of a small bronze statuette of
the same period as the Venus de Milo.
This statuette Is an exact copy of the
famous Venus, and like the original, It
has no arms. Doctor Edde therefore
concludes that the Venus de Mllo
never at any time had arms, and he
believes that the sculptor, when he
had carved out of stone such a divine
form, gnve \ip all idea of adding arms.
When the Venus de Milo was discov
ered on the island of Milo a large re
ward was offered to anyone who could
find the arms, but, in spite of exten
sive search, nothing was discovered.

Old Scottieh Building8
Something of Myatery
All over Scotland are hundreds of
forts built on hilltops. The White
Caterthun, in Forfarshire, is a good
example of these. It consists of four
circles of stone, the diameter of the
inner circle being 80 paces. The stones
nre 25 feet thick at the top and over
100 feet thick at the base.
Beyond the outer circle is a ditch
with an earthen breastwork round It.
while beyond this, again, runs a double
entrenchment. ? The entrances to these
various circles are zigzagged, so that
e?ich remains covered by fortifications.
The fort at Bamukln, In Aberdeen
shire, has five great stone circles, all
(lawlessly built, although there are no
toolmarks to show how they were
shaped.
These buildings are Interesting, but
not puzzling, but there are others, com
monly known as Plcta' Burghs, to
which no use can be assigned.
A burgh is a single tower, round in
shape, wide at the bottom and narrow
Ing towards the top from the outside.
The outer walls of these towers,
shaped toto circles, have no openings
of any sort except the entrance. Ob
viously. then, the buildings were never
lA'.endSd for forta.
Inside the walls slope the reverse
*"ay, and between the two are count
less rooms, often too small for people
eTer to Have lived In them. The largest

^'"pHEItE are your peaches an<J
^ grapes, Miss Altliea, but It's no
kind of day for preserving peaches or
making jelly, because It won't jell.
There's a reason, uiy wife says?"
"Just leave thein there, Mr. Burbage,
near the door whera It's cocrt?thank
yon. Good day!" and AUhea Street
suilled the patient suiile of the annual
preserver who had arisen that nam
ing to the sound of pouring rain on
the very day she was to make jelly.
Suddenly a gust of wind burled a
handful of leaves against the window
pane, where they stock. ? blind
slipped a hinge and smashed a front
window, and she got drenched trying
to patch k up.
'Tin going oul?I am going to see
Mary and Elizabeth Dunn. They have
had three months of Sorick Downs and
?Mist be heme by this time. Wish I
bad a little summer place like that.
And tucking her smooth, gray leeks
snugly under her hat, Althea Street
was soon picking her way gingerly
over puddles and gutters on her way
to see Mary Dunn.
Her ring at the doer of Mary Dane's
house was answered by someone who
fumbled uncertainly with the bolt.
"Not Elizabeth," thought Miss Al
thea, impatiently; "she'd never take
that long!"
A sudden yank, and there stood be
fore her a narse in uniform with a
pink boudoir cap on her bead.
Yes, the Misses Dunn were in?they
couldn't very well be out?they were
ill i
"Is that you, Althea?" called a husky
voice from upstairs. "Come upl"
Miss Althea went np.
There was a little white bed In the
parlor ai?d In It reclined Elizabeth
Dunn looking pale and weary, and be
side her, keeping sympathetic company,
was her sister, Mary.
"Well," gasped the visitor, "both III?
And I've been thinking you were hav
] ing a glorious summer 1"
"We had storms," said Elizabeth,
weakly, "several of them?but the last
was the worst."
"Just before we came away it rained
three whole days and nights," said
Mary, in a husky voice.
"On hot days I've been envying you
the shade of your beautiful trees and
the cool sound of the little brook," In
terposed Miss Althea.
"The trees were blown down near
enough to give us the scare of our
Jives and the brook became a young
torrent that nobody could cross," con
tinued Elizabeth. "You know we have
no cellar In our bungalow, and
the wind knocked down the lattice and
blew something under our floor that
scratched and whined the night
through?a dog?or cat?maybe. We
couldn't get out to see."
"The -grocer couldn't get to us and
we had to live on cornflakes and milk
until he could," sighed Mary. "It cer
tainly was a terrible storm and
wrought great havoc. Afterwards peo
ple came down to see the sights."
"They should have seen us," said
the gentle Elizabeth as sarcastically
as she could. "When I had to have a
nurse, and the good neighbor across
the road offered us the use of an ex
tra room, the poor thing had to wade
the brook every day to get me."
"You'll be having that lovely view
next summer," murmured Althea
Street soothingly.
"If we ever go there again," said
Elizabeth with emphasis, "they'll flrit
have to catch every bootlegger In the
state. You were lucky, Althea, that
you stayed home."
Miss Althea ventured a timid remon
strance. Her own grievances were so
swallowed up In the face of all this
evidence that she felt cheated.
"It rained here?It knocked down my
honeysuckle trellis and broke my tele
phone wire?. The wind blew?"
"Blew," said Elizabeth scornfully?
"It howled down there?and yowled!
It took the roof off the dance hall and
blew tents out to sea!"
Allhea walked out of the house of
Mary Dunn Into pouring rain, forget
ting to raise her blue (?Ilk umbrella with
Its handle of amber, and she forgot to
look out for the gutters and puddles.
"Why, Miss Althea, you're soaking
wet?is your umbrella broken?" called
a young neighbor with a music roll
under her arm, catching up with her.
"Here, get un'ler mine."
"Why?er?no, my umbrella Is ali
right. But where have you been In
such a storm?" ;
"Oh. taking a lesson," laughed the
girl lightly, tapping her music roll.
"I, too, have been taking a lesson,"
?aid Miss Althea soberly.
"Not really, Misa Althea?" ejaculat
ed little Miss Neighbor surprieedly as
they hurried along.
"It wasn't exactly a music I assoc."

around the corner, maybe,'without find
ing someone who has so much more to
worry about than you that It should
make you ashamed to complain."
And as they had reached her little
flat, she let herself In and hurried to
the kitchen door for the evening paper.
"Tomorrow, fair and warmer," she
repeated, as Bhe scanned the radio pro
gram for the evening
"This evening the Crosswlfe's league
will broadcast a special program of
Instruction on the canning and pickling
of fruits, especially peaches."
"Elizabeth was right." mused Althea
Street as she adjusted her ear phones
and tuned In?"I'm lucky."
Father of Mail Service
Mull coaches were Introduced Into
England In the year 1784 by one John
Palmer of Bath. This worthy gentle
man suffered much inconvenience from
the mall leaving London on Monday
and net rea?hlng Bath until Wednes
day. He traveled the country advo
cating reform, and was set down as a
bore. But the system of flying mails
he was able to inaugurate lasted until
the days of milways. Still, it was not
much better than the system of the
Iloman mails, as established In the
Third oentury, by which it seems pos
sible that letters might have reached
Itome. from England In three or fo^r
days if relays of galloping chariots
could cover a thousand mile? at 14
miles an hour.
Way to Judge Age
A moving pflcture man delights to
tell of a proposal that happened while
he was directing one of his latest pfce
tures. It seems that a young writer
had laid his heart at the feet of the
leading woman and had been coldly,
turned down.
"Perhaps It's best, after all," he ae
marked, acidly. "After all, a man of
twenty-flve would soon tire of a woman
who hovers around thirty-two."
"But I'm not thut old," gasped the
woman. "Whatever led you to believe
that I'm thirty-two?"
"Well, perhaps you're not," admitted
the young -man, "but it certainly
struck me that you must be somewhere
near the freezing point"?Los Angeles
Times.
Drilling Hole* in GIom*
Drilling holes in glass is not so very
difficult The old method utilized a
discarded triangular die, ground to a
sharp point and used in a brace with
a slight pressure. The point of con
tact was moistened with turpentine.
The more recent way and one that la
quicker is to use a brass or copper
tube with thin walls instead of a file,
says Popular Science Monthly. The
tube is placed in a brace and drilling
Is accomplished \vith powdered carbo
rundum as a cutting agent. A guide
of wood keeps the tube properly cen
tered.
Odd Headpiece
The superb bird of paradise Is one
of the most remarkable of all that
famous group, says Nature Magazine
of Washington. It Is only nine inchea
long, velvety black with purple and
green metallic ornaments, Including a
large bright metallic green pectoral
shield and another large forked vel
vety black erectile shield on the baclK
of the neck. It lives in New Guinea.
Couldn't Be Fooled
Alex had donned his first pair of
trousers, and bis grandmother was pre
tending she did not know him.
"It's Alex, grandmother," he Insisted
earnestly.
"Oh, nol It can't be Alex because
Alex wears rompers."
"But it Is Alex, grandmother, be
cause I was there and saw mother pi*
them on me."
Women a? Inventor?
American women have patented
nearly 1,400 devices. Women have
patented contraptions all the way
from hooks-and-eyes to artificial eye
lashes, including road-building equip
ment and intricate machinery. When
Howe was trying to invent the sewing
machine he reached the point of where,
he was stumped. His wife, tiring of
having him sitting around glowering,
shoved him aside, sat down before the
machine, gave It a few whirls ai;A
said, "Put the thread eyelet In the
other end ef the needle down by the
point" That solved the problem.
