ToroBto.—It you have an especial
enemy on whom you'd like to play
an unpleasant Joke, you might send
him a Brazilian electric eel Xor
Christmas.
The electric eel. in case you don't
know, is the nearest thing to a liv
ing. breathing pow er trust that the
animal tforld affords. Touch him
and you get a jar that may knock
you down. It might be that he'd
xunpish power Xor a radio set or a
vacuum cleaner, if properly at
tached; otherwise he Is quite use
less, as he is not pretty.
Gets A Shock.
Two Of these strange fish were
sent to Toronto from Brazil and
dropped in the aquarium of the
Walker House here, pending trans
fer to the Toronto Royal fair.
Everything went well until C. A.
Raymond and James Palmer, their
owners, prepared to move them.
Then the fun began.
First the two cels were dropped
out of their container onto the
floor. Then Raymond picked one
up—end got a shock that made him
let go. ferventi. Palmer went to
help him and the same dosr.
They Fight That Way.
It was half r.n hour before the
two men eonld get the cels Into
the tank, and at the end of that
time the men were still sputtering
Prof. J. R. Dymond of the Univer
sity of Toronto came over with a
voltmeter and attached it to one
of the eels, getting a reading that
fluctuated between four and 15
volts, with a high amperage
These eels occasionally grow to .1
length' of eight, feel and as as thick
as a man’s thigh. They use thei;
power house apparatus to fight
their enemies and to stun their
prey. Ffeqeuntly the shocks they
transmit are strong enough to
knock a man down.

John Coolidge Wedding Talked
By Capital Society—Is Right
Would Hare Bern Poor Etiquette
For Miss Trumbell To Marry
There.
(By Allene Sumner.)
N'EA Service Writer.
Washington—Announcement that
Florence Trumbull will not be a
White House bride has stiffened
the marcels and brought out the
fingernail polish of this city's
blooded ladies who run “social bu
reaus.”
i For these pilots of society have
been insisting ever since the rumor
of a Trumbull-Coolidge White
House wedding started that it sim
ply could not be: that such a prec
edent of bad form never would be
established by a daughter of a gov
ernor, nor by the son of a Cool
idge.
pay after day the society bureau
dames called the newspapers to in
1 sist that this harping upon a White !
House wedding simply showed that
they didn’t know what was proper
1 and befitting, and that they owed!
1 tt to the populace to remind it
again that ‘'the groom always weds
j his bride in her own home, no inat
j ter how humble ”
Mrs. Rose Gouveraeur Hoes, who
| runs one of the city’s most exclu
sive social bureaus, who has at
! tended three White House weddings
herself, and whose grandmother,
i Maria Monroe, youngest daughter
j of President James Monroe, was a
! White House bride, is very relieved
by the announcement from the
’Connecticut house of Trumbull.
"I felt right along that it simply
could not be," she said. “I won
dered what would happen to wed
ding etiquet in general -if such a
precedent were started. The rule
would crash ui toto. It would be im
possible to expect girls of lesser
t rank to be married in their own

homes if the so-called ‘Crown
Princess' of the nation rushed off
to be married in her fiance's home
simply because he lived in a bigger
and more famous home than her
own."
Mrs. Hots recalls that she "never
could quite accept the Frances Fol
som-Grovei Cleveland wedding."
"That is the only White House
wedding of a bride who was not. at
least, related in some way to the
White House master or mistress,'
she reminds those who point out
that there have been other White
House weddings lor brides whose
home w as not the White- House.
She points out that Miss' Todd,
who was married in the White
House, was a niece of Mrs. James
Madison. Elizabeth Trier. Nellie
Grant, Maria Monroe. Alice Roose
velt, Jessie and Eleanor Wilson,
were daughters of presidents. Alice
Wilson was a niece of the persi
dent; Miss Johnson, who married
.John Quincy Adam.'., jr was »
nicer of President Jackson, and
another bride, Miss Emily Platt,
was a niece of President Hayes.
Leaves Frances Folsom the only
White HousC bride who really de
fied etiquet by marrying: in her
fiance's home.
And the social bureau dames be
lieve it would have bear better if
the other brides, even if related to
the White House tenants, had put
good form before the opportunity
to have their grandchildren ten
how tvandma was a White House
bride.
"It Miss Trumbull had lived
through the period ot the Cleveland
wedding and could remember the
wave of criticism which swept tlie
country at the spectacle of a beau
tiful young girl rushing to her
fiance's home to be married, she
would only rejoice in the perfect
decision she has made.” saifl Mrs.
Tioes.
