Part of: Good News, v. 14, no. 362, April 10, 1897 (Issue)
Date: April 10, 1897
Edition Description: Part of the "For Students of Natural History" department.
First Sentence: It is well known that a pointed body will move more easily through water than a blunt one--that, for instance, a narrow ship goes more easily than a broad one.
Last Sentence: It then draws its tail up again and repeats the movement, only the body is bent in the opposite direction; if it is from right to left the first time it will be from left to right the second, so that the eel seems to be waving its body backward and forward.
