Interesting Discovery For Which to Strait of Science Is Indebted Messina. London Dally Telegraph. The Straits of Messina are channels of immense depth, through which a wild tide surges, and owing probably to irregularities at the bottom there arc whirling eddies which have the effect of bringing up from the depths below many marine creatures which are rarely seen except in the deep sea trawls. It was here that the larval form of a fresh water eel was first discovered, an incident which threw a- blase of light on the life history of a" very mysterious fish. All kinds of theories have been given forth with regard to the propa gation of the eel. Some naturalists declared they bred in fresh water, others that they visited the estuary for spawning purposes, but thanks to the discovery off Messina and later captures of the eel in Its larval form It is now practically certain that after mature eels drop down our rivers In autumn they hie them to exceed ingly deep water in the sea and there deposit their eggs. From the egg comes a little ribbon shaped creature, the larval form. In due course this changes into an el of still smaller size, strange to say. and these small eels or elvers after ward ascend our rivers and there remain- until they reach maturity when they in their turn descend to the sea and history is repeated.

DISCUSSION -OF HOUSE BILL. -There was a lengthy -discussion of the House bill to provide service for the Supreme Court, including servant to carry booksto and from the homes UI i jit, jyfltivca lira nxiijf uw cvintwil sation of the other employes. The btll passed Its second reading, but objection was raised to the final read ing and the tolll took. Its place on the calendar for another day. Mr. Dockery presented a petition from citlsens of Rockingham county for the nrivllese of electing their board of education. Bills naseed flnai reading: House bill to authorise Buncombe county to fund Its floating Indebted ness. ' House mil to authorize commis sioners of Ashe county to levy special tax for building bridges. The Senate concurred In the House amendment to the bill relative to widow's year's support, allowing pro vision for child unborn. The House bill to abolish the State crop pest commission by transferring the duties to the State board of agri culture was passed by the Senate. . The substitute for he Barham and the Starbuck bills allowing the State and the defendant It peremptory challenges In capital cases, the State to stand no iurors at the end of the panel, passed its second reading and on objection to the final reading went over for final Disease. Th Hni, hill resulatlng the sale of concentrated feed stuffs passed Its second reading, but Senator Fnarr raised objection to the final reading and at his suggestion there was- a re reference of the bill to the committee on agriculture JUDICIAL DISTRICTS MATTER THRESHED OUT. Ramtnr Rirrlnixr'l bill to Create a new Judicial district out of Guilford and Alamance counties cams up for consideration with an amendment from the commltte that the Governor may assign the Judge of the district to hold special and regular terms oi court In other districts when me Judges of these districts are 111 or re lief is reauired from other causes. The new districts would be the tenth and all other districts beyond that number would move ud one number. The bill woujd limit the work of the tenth district Judge to tmrty-eigni regular and BDeclal terms before he is entitled to any extra compensation. Senator Barringer ipoke earnestly for the bill. He said that there are now over eight hundred cases on the civil docket of the Guilford court and that a new case could not now, with the present conditions, be tried wKhin two years after institution. He ex pressed the opinion that no State In the Union has so inadequate a Judicial system as North Carolina and that to refuse the relief asked for would im pose a great injustice upon the people of his county Senator Manning spoke In opposi tion to the hill, characterizing it as a 'mere patch" upon the Judicial syt- tem. It would have no effect in tne way of relieving equally bad condi tions In other districts of the State. Durham, he said, has a large docket, but it was handled so as to avoid con gestion. Guilford may be a larger county In the way of territory, but Durham has more taxable values and pays more Into the State Treasury. He Insisted that if the Judicial system needs re-dlstrictlng the Legislature ought to be bold enough to do it, but there should be no "paten wori. Senator Frv ODDOsed the bill. He thought that with the passage of the bill to allow extra compensation to judges to hold special terms there would be no difficulty In procuring special terms of court so that Gull ford and other counties with congest ed docjtets could get relief in that wav. Besides. If this -little district were created so that the Judge could hold extra terms, then It would de prive tho other Judges of compensa tion they would otherwise have for holding special terms. Senator Starbuck offered the sug gestion that action on the bill be de ferred until the House takes action on the Senate bill providing special com pensation for the Judges In holding special terms. The committee amendment was adopted and the bill went over for final reading. The Senate adjourned to 10 o clock Saturday morning. THE HOUSE Speaker Graham called the House to order at 10: SO o'clock. There was prayer by Representative Latham, of Beaufort. On request of Mr. Koonce the bill to charter the North Carolina Asso ciation of County Commissioners was re-referred to the committee on counties, cities and towns in order that Mr. C. E. Poy. of Newbern, might have an opportunity to be heard on the merits of the bill, he be ing president of the association. The bill' had been reported this morning unfavorably by the committee. Mr. Hooker, for the committee on fish. reDorted the committee bill car rying amendments to the Vann act regulating fisheries. As usual, a number of the counties actively en gaged in commercial fishing are omit ted from the operation ot tne bin. The bill by Representative Gavin to amend the delayed freight penalty law se that any person damaged by the delay may sue instead of this right being limited to the consignee, as at present, was reported favorably by judiciary committee No. 1, but Representative Hayes, of Chatham, lodared a motion that it be re-referred to the same committee for further in vestigation. Chairman Gavin, ot the committee, opposed this on the ground that the. PU1 has already had ample consideration, having been up twice. Representative Bowie also spoke in opposition to re-reference, contending that the merits ot tne out could now be aired on the. floor. However, Mr. Hayes' motion to re commit the bill prevailed by a vote of 4? to 19. FLOOD OF NEW BILLS PUT IX.

SUBSTITUTE FOR HINSDALE BILL The committee substitute for tho Hinsdale child labor bill was laid be fore the House. It amends the present law by providing that upon complaint of violation to the Labor Commissioner it shall be his duty to delegate to the sheriff of the county concerned the work of investigating and if necessary bringing to trial the mill owner or superintendent. Mr. Williams, of Cabarrus, thought tho bill lacked machinery upon which the sheriff was to proceed and also compensation to the sheriff for the extra work. Mr. Dowd was of the opinion that the sheriffs would attend to that duty without additional pay. Mr. Hinsdale stated that he had seversl amendments of a very roa- sonsble nature to offer to the sub stitute, and he moved it be set as a special order for next Tuesday. Mr. Koonce moved a substitute to refer to Judiciary committee, in order to save time in considering the amend ments. Mr. Hinsdale did not want this, and it was voted down and his own motion prevailed. MEDICAL LICENSE BILL The bill requiring applicants for li cense to practice medicine to satisfy the State board of examiners that they possess a high school education or Its equivalent elicited many ques tions and kept Drs. Gordon, Cox of Pitt, Bolton and Campbell busy for few minutes trying to explain the requirements of thei bill, especially Sec. 6, containing the educational re quirement, which appeared very dif ficult for some to comprehend. It was explained to be merely , what is now necessary before admission to the medical colleges of the country. The bill exempts persons who' have already commenced the study of medicine, until the board meeting of llt. Mr. Dowd offered an amend men to strike out Sec. ( entire. Mr. Turner thought it ought to be enough if the applicant could stand the ex amination of the board. At last, on motion of Mr. Doughton, further con sideration of the bill went over until to-morrow. BUSINESS NAMES. Reading of Mr. Weaver's bill to regulate the use of business names brought Mr. Morton to his feet to ask an explanation... Mrt Weaver stated that the bill merely required that per sons Interested In a partnership, but who desired for some reason to con ceal their Identity from the public, must file their real names with the clerk of the court, at a cost of 2S cents apiece. In order that any one wtaning 10 sue sucn concern mini know whom to sue, and also that persons desiring to enter Into busi- : ness relations might know with whom i they were dealing. - Mr. Koonce asked if it would apply 1 to people doing business as "agent" for somebody. In his county there was a. man who had failed six times, always as agent for some man some- ', where else, and they had both got something out of it each time. He favored the bill. Mr. Weaver was not very sure on this point, but thought It would reach that class, as did Mr. KJtchin also. Mr. Morton declared we had the people mad already ever this over regulation of their affairs. There were two or three' thousand small hucksters In his county who had their firm nsmes over their places of busi ness, and this meant that whenever there was any,, change In their part nerships they would be guilty, of misdemeanor if they failed to file the new nsmes as soon as the change was made. He sent forward , an SOLDIER BALKS DEATH PLOT. ' It seemed to J. A. Stone, a civil war veteran, of Kemp. Tea., that a plot ex isted between a desperate lung trouble and the grave to cause his death.

He told of a man who did business under his name "A Sons'" and failed, and when the homestead exemption question came up there were five sons, besides another ex pected from Panama. Mr. Pickett moved to table. Lost Mr. Weaver moved to re-refer to Ju diciary No. 1. Before that motion could be put there was a rush of amendments exempting countries, in cluding Montgomery.
