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.

McCAHEY j (Cop/right.) ^'"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." explained Althea 8 tree t as she stepped plomb Into an snkl? d asp puddle and to latnd U at all Tvt IJfcM XULfiMl ?? ?K7 fee. M 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.

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.
