ITALIAN FROG -EATERs.-From nv obser.
vations, am disposed to think the Italians
greater frog eaters than the French of the
present day. The preparation of the am
phibious article of food is sight, and not
very pleasant one, any morning, in the
Milan market. The process is as follows:
A number of old women sit upon low
stools, having before them basket nearly
covered with coarse, wet cloth, and on their
left hand sack. The sack contains green
frogs, middle-sized animals, with long legs
and speckled bodies. The left hand dives
into the sack and fishes out frog, which
is forthwith decaptated by means of knife
or pair of shears in form like those of a
shepherd. The next thug is to get rid of
the skin. The frog does not evidently be-
long to the family of tgnt skinned animals,
for by single dexterous twtch, the green
coat is reversed and stripped off to the very
tips of the long, lean legs, and the fayed
carcass is cast into the basket
This, one might suppose, would be the
close of froggy's struggles on earth, but,
horrible to relate, the tenacious vitality Of
these mphibia-muscular, let us hope but
not sensitive-survives both skinning and
beheading. In the basket the frog corpses,
mingled in a semi-transparent, gelatinous
mass, quiver and wriggle, but occasionally
seem to be wrestling with each other, while,
from time to time, an individual of tough
vitality and active habits, actually hops
headless from the torture basket, and perches
his ghastly little frame on the edge of the
damp canvass which partly covers the re-
ceptacle, grins horribly at his executioner
out of his open throat.-London Times

MACHINE GUN.-F. j. Cranmer of Val
lecto. Calaveras county. has invented a
machine gun. 1t was put on trial few
days since in San Francisco and is thus
described:
/" The weapon looks good deal more like
patent washing machine than like gun,
but its effectiveness was illustrated with ter
rible effect. 1t consists of wrought iron
cylinder, ten inches in diameter, which is
perforated with eighty four holes on the sur
face. These holes are the chambers, from
which nipples project on the under side.-
The powder and ball are put loose into two
hoppers, on the top of the cylinder; the
caps are placed in small box near the cen.
tre Of the side of the machine By turning
a small crank, with the aid of very ingeni-
ously contrived rackets and springs, three OF
the chambers on line are fitted with caps
next. the same three chambers are filled with
graduated quantity of powder. then with
three balls, which are lightly rammed in by
the same motion that puts them into the
chambers. By turning the crank and keep
ing the hoppers well filled, hundreds of shots
may be fired in minute through these rife
barrels, which. passing through a tank Of
cold water. project from the front of the
machine. Ninety shots were fired in fifteen
seconds, which, at a distance of twenty-seven
yards, perforated an inch board, the shot
from each barrel striking in nearly the same
spot every time. The whole machine only
weighs one hundred and fifty pounds, and il
about three feet in extreme length by twenty
| inches in hight, and ten inches wide Il
works on pivot, and can be pointed in any
direction almost as readily as pistol"

AFTER THE GUILLoTINE.-Four men were
executed by the guilotine at Brest The
evening before the execution every medical
man in Brest received an invitation from
DIR. Duval, Director of the Board of Health,
to meet him in the amphitheatre of the hos.
plta at six on the following morning Pre-.
cisely at that hour all the men of science
belonging to that city assembled aroand four
dissecting tables covered with white cloths.
As the clock struck, the four culprits were
ushered into eternity. At 6:2O the hospital
van was seen to cross the court of the Pupilles
de la Marine at hard gallop, and in a few
seconds four lifeless trunks were thrown on
the dissecting tables, precisely eight minutes
after they had ceased to exist. The sight
was indeed startling. The bodies appeared
shrunk to the size of that of child-the
neck utterly disappeared, and in its place
frightfu, gaping wound. Next to the bodies.-
rolled up in napkins, were four livid heads,
The work of dissection commenced instantly.
The nerves quivered and the flesh was real
warm. The continued contractability of the
heart was proved as well as in the aorta.
where sensitiveness was extreme. The con.
tractabilty was manifested on simply touch
ing the part. and. of course. was still more
| apparent when subject to electric currents. .
The muscular contraction was so intense
that, even after twenty minutes, one of the
doctors, on applying an electric current.
made the four heads grimace in the most
horrible manner. A pencil was placed be.
tween the teeth of one; it was bitten through
and smashed as though it had been made of
glass.
