[p1004] MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS, dissenting.
I would not dismiss this appeal for nonjurisdictional tardiness in docketing. There is no doubt that we have statutory jurisdiction to hear this case under 42 U.S.C. § 1973c. And, no doubt we may waive our self-imposed Rule 13 (1) inasmuch as "the requirement of docketing within sixty days [is not a] limitation on our power to hear [an] appeal." United Public Workers v. Mitchell, 330 U.S. 75, 86. But, as MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN observes, ante, at 1001, this Court has failed to develop even the shadow of a consistent practice concerning the effect to be given an appellant's failure to docket within the prescribed time. In some cases the defect has been fatal [p1005] while in others it has been forgiven. This appeal was docketed 66 days late. Yet in Johnson v. Florida, 391 U.S. 596, 598, we entertained without explanation an appeal which was 56 days tardy. And, Mississippi's own experience with the vagaries of our dispensation of waivers has not been an illuminating one. In Whitley v. Williams, decided with Allen v. State Board of Elections, 393 U.S. 544, another challenge to that State's voting laws, the State was the appellee and the challenger's appeal was docketed 60 days out of time. Nonetheless, the infraction was passed over, the case was heard, and the District Court was reversed.
I cannot acquiesce in an arbitrary practice which permits the Court to sweep unpleasant cases under the rug. Unless we are willing to prescribe criteria for guiding our granting of waivers of the docketing requirement, such as we have done in Rule 19 for exercising our certiorari discretion, then we should either enforce Rule 13 (1) for all or for none.

JUSTICE BLACKMUN indicates, that the District Court may have erred in using § 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 79 Stat. 439, 42 U. S. C. § 1973c, to enjoin its effectiveness.
# State Attorney General v. Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad Company/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
152 U.S. 363
State Attorney General v. Flint & Pere Marquette Railroad Company
The supreme court of Michigan held that the state might be estopped by its acts, conduct, silence, and acquiescence; that the only question necessary to be considered and determined was the question of estoppel,-and, after a full consideration of the facts applicable to this branch of the case, reached the conclusion that the claim of the state had no foundation in equity, justice, or good conscience; that it had become stale; and that the state was estopped to assert title in itself to the lands in question. As its judgment thus rested upon the decision of a question which was not federal, this court has no jurisdiction to review it, and the writ of error must be dismissed. Adams Co. v. Burlington & M. R. Co., 112 U.S. 123, 5 Sup. Ct. 77; Israel v. Arthur, 14 Sup. Ct. 583.
Writ of error dismissed.

How Elk Shed and Renew their Antlers.
How many persons, among the many thousands that annually visit our zoölogical parks, realize, as they pause to admire the noble bucks of the deer family,—particularly the wapiti, or American elk,—that their branching antlers are cast off annually and renewed and well hardened within the short period of seven months?
American Elk, or Wapiti, one week after antlers were dropped. (Copyright, 1904, by New York Zoölogical Society.)
Before describing the manner in which elk shed their antlers, I should like to explain the difference between “antlers” and “horns.” All the members of the deer family—the moose, caribou, elk (in Europe the animal which we call moose is known as elk), and smaller deer—possess antlers, while the appendages on the heads of goats, sheep, cattle, and the like are known as horns, and, with one exception,—the American antelope or pronghorn,—are retained by their owners throughout life.

# St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 4/Nature and Science/Frog

The Little Frog Traveler.
At the Children’s Museum in Brooklyn there is a little stranger whose queer history makes him especially interesting.
He was found one day at Canarsie Bay, Long Island, in the coal-bunker of a boat which came from the South. He is a little Southerner, and is never found at home north of Virginia. By chance he had found his way on board the vessel, and traveled as a stowaway. A man picked him up, and, noting his beauty, washed the coal-dust out of his eyes and gave him to his grandson. The little boy, thinking that other children might like to see} him, brought him to the museum.
When he said he had a frog, the lady in charge thought it was a common kind, so she said she did not care for it, as there was no room. However, one of the attendants told him to put the frog in a case where there were three bullfrogs. She knew what the boy did not, that big frogs cat small frogs.
Now it would have been sad if our little wanderer had been devoured by these monsters, but he had no such intention. He hopped out of reach, up the glass, and over the top. The little boy called the attendant, and said: “He won't stay in!”
At once she suspected that this was no common frog, as they cannot crawl up glass, and she thought it was a little Northern tree-frog. What was her surprise, therefore, to find, upon noticing it more carefully, that it was a beautiful pea-green frog, with slender legs, beautiful gold-veined eyes, and golden-light stripes down each side and along the outer seam of his “coat sleeves” and “trouser legs.”
He was named “Billy Green Springer,” for that was what the boy called him; and, besides, he was green, and could spring prodigious distances, and could cling to whatever spot he touched, even on the window-pane.
He sits all day on the inside of his glass jar, with his body pressed close against it. He is a wonderful little hunter, too; for if a fly is put into the jar, he moves slowly toward it, and, when within two inches or about the length of his own body, his head shoots forward and his long tongue comes out so quickly that one cannot see it, and Mr. Fly has gone to the Department of the Interior,
This little stranger is called Hyla Carolinensis, and he is first cousin to our little gray tree-frog, who is Hyda versicolor. Walter King Stone
The Hyda versicolor is one of the “spring peepers” that usually begin to call in early March. It is commonly called the tree-toad, although it is really a frog and not a toad. Try placing one on different-colored materials.

# St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 4/Nature and Science/Fish

A New York City Fish.
It seems strange that in the great city of New York should be found a fish which is unlike all others, yet such is the case. In the lake in Central Park is found a pearl roach which differs so much from the pearl roach of various waters that it has been given a new place as a subspecies. Instead of being called simply Abramis chrysoleucas, it is called Abramis chrysoleucas roseus. However, the fish is much more beautiful than its name, and indeed is one of the handsomest in the aquarium at the Battery. Its body is silvery gray which has a trick of sparkling like mica as the light falls on it at different angles. Its fins are brilliant vermilion. The Pearl Roach.
Now you will ask the question, “How came this fish in Central Park and not in other lakes and in streams?” and the answer of the scientists is, “We do not know.”
The theories are that these fish are descendants of the common pearl roach which may have been in the park lake always or placed there many years ago and have since changed color and shape because of especially good food-supply thrown to them by visitors to the park, or that some one had European roaches in an aquarium, and tiring of them, liberated them in the lake. They therefore may be a product of especial food or of change of climate or environment. Anyhow, they are a puzzle to the scientists and a delight to the eye of the nature-lover.

Spring Migration of Birds.
Cold as is February, it is the beginning of various life-interests of spring and summer. Among the birds to arrive, beginning at the middle of the month, are the woodcock, purple grackle, rusty blackbird, red-winged blackbird, phœbes, and several others. The list varies in different places. Many four-footed animals resume activity at this season, and even some reptiles crawl out on warmest days.
