Danish expedition located the smallest

and only there.
There are other species of eels
which inhabit the countries, bordering
the Indo-Pacific from the Cape of Good
Hope to the Sandwich Islands', but
there are none in the rivers of West
Africa, South Ainerica or our own Pa-
cific slope. The reason for this is be-
lieved to be that the ocean route that
the young eel larvae would have to
follow to get to these latter rivers lies
through waters that are no warm arid
salty enough for them. These snake-
like fish which spend most of their life
far up our fresh -water streams are
creatures of some of the saltiest parts
of the sea.
Nothing Affects Music.
Muslc iS independent of space. You ,
can have a symphony of Beethoven
played in every musical centre of the
world at the same time if you have a
sufficiency of musicians capable) of
rendering it. Time does not touch it.
Neither does that .Other great barrier
to the common artistic enjoyment of
civilized nationa, the difference of
languages, affect it. The translator of
a masterpiece is not merely a copyist,
his personality is not merely inter-
posed, like the personality of all copy-
ists, between the spectator and the
original producer. To compare paint-
ing with language, you are compelling
him to copy in tempera what as
painted in oils, or to render as a draw-
itgwhat was originally a coeored pic-
ture.,
No arogrese will make it possible
for a masterpiece of one language to
be in the same full sense a master-
' piece in another. It must always he
confined to the country of its birth,
ancl in the main to those who have
learned from infancy tbe language in
which it is rendered. No such
ihuni-
tations attach to the art of music. All
earl -understand • it whatever be their
mother tongue.
Now that tbe thoughts of so many
.01 us are occupied in extending widely
among the whole community the high-
est, the greatest and the best of plea-
gures, it may be aee,eptecl that Of all
the arts and of all the finer forms of
imagination, that which chases music
oa its means of expression IS the one
Which has the gretatest future among
the masses of 'all nations.
