Because the artults sometimes hibernated in the mud during 'Cold weather, people said: The young come from the "bowels of the earth," or from the morn ing dew, or from horsehairs that ifell into the water. But yet, careful scientists did note this: Once female eels at- ctained eight years, their ovaries became loaded with up to 100,' 000 minute eggs. Each female's bedy became sleek and fat Then, auddenly, they stopped feeding. Their backs grew more Intensely black. Their sides and belly took on a silvery sheen Their eyes enlarged.

EHzabeth Taylor Has Spinal Surgery New York U.R) Actress Elizabeth Taylor, who under went a delicate spinal operation Saturday, was reported "resting comfortably" today by a hospi tal spokesman. Doctors performed a five-hour emergency operation to remove a crushed spinal disc. The oper ation; originally scheduled for today, was performed Saturday because the actress was in in tense pain, the spokesman said. The 24-year-old actress en tered.

From the tiny eggs most curi ous young emerge looking nothing at all like the snake like parent, the transparent body is as fist and thin as a leaf. But buoyant so they can drift up to the surface and there feed on microscopic algae. After almost a year's drifting in the upper layers, the young gradually migrate northwest ward until they reach the Gulf Stream which in turn sweeps them northwest along the Atlan tic Coast. Here the American offspring take off, one by one. : swimming westward to reach ! coastal .rivers, arriving about a year and a half after they were : spawned, and a little over two inches long. The European and African eels however, although j their paths may cross with the 1 American, keep riding along j with the Gulf Stream for anoth- er year and a half, taking off to their appropriate parents' "liv-1 ing" waters and in doing so sometimes climb to 8,000-foot- elevations. Fish Transforms Once in the mouths of rivers, the tiny fish transform to more eel-like proportions. Again, in explicably, it takes the Ameri can only one and a half years, the European three years be fore the change is made. Then, the three-inch-long females start up the stream, resting by day and traveling by night just as their parents did on the way down. By this time, the season is spring. Males, lacking the per sistence of females, remain com fortably in the brackish water. Upon the completion of the eighth year, again wonder of wonders, the females head down stream, across meadows if nec essary, to repeat the strange trip to Sargasso Sea. And Die.

He has written many let ters to newspapers. At the start, he taunted police by writing them where the bombs would explode. After the explosions, he wrote letters reviling Consoli dated Edison for its dastardly conduct. His letters are printed. About 60 per cent of them have been postmarked from White Plains, in Westchester county, just north of New York City. Others have been postmarked in vari ous New York City stations, and one was postmarked Pitts field, Mass.
