probably be discovered that in each
case there was tiSsurc in the rocks or
trees in which frogs have been found
large enough for the admission of water
and the embryo frog which has develop
ed there. 1t has been nssumedhy some
that the frog naturally coutains an acid
which by chemical action on tho stone
provides that the space at the frogs
disposal shall be rs large MS its body.
\ second hypothesis is that, not the egg
butthe primary frog, scarcely larger
than the egg itself, falls into the rock
or tree and continues to grow, deriving
air and food in the form OF small in
soctS from the water that pcnotratcs to
its abode. Certain il is that frogs,
when artiiicialy secured in air tight
and watcr-tight vessels, speedily die.
Experiments made by members OF
the French Academy century ago
proved this. Milne Edwards, early in
the present century, inclhsed frogs In
vessels impcrvious to mir, and the cro-
aturcs speedily perishcd. Three frogs
were once incloscu in n close box for
eighteen months, at the end of which
time one WAS dead aud the remainder
in a dying condition. DR. Mccartney
buried toad in a vessel covered with
a slate about foot deep in the ground
At the end of fortnight il seemed we'll
and as plump as before. When, how
ever, he Enclosed the samr inal II the
air tight vessel, and buried ii it sur
vived, and at the end of week was
much exhausted. DR.. Buckland made
some experiments, which are claimed
J as conclusive. He placed twelve toads
separately in twelve holes cut in blocks
of hard i,inty sandstone. They were
FIRMLY scaled in,
The imprisoned animals were buried
three feet deep on November 26, 1928.
At the Same time four toads were dc.
posted in holes cut in the heart OF an
apple tree; and the opening securely
plugged. -Four Others were also placed
| in plaster OF Paris, covered with lnting.
On December 10, 1926, all the buried
toaus were examined. All in the hard
stone and in the tree and two i'll the
| plaster Of Paris were dead. Tho re-
mainuer were dying, bat some placed
in softer stone were in tolcrably good
health, and sOmc were actually tattcr
than when placed in the holes. From
this it would appear that iii positions
where water can penetrate frogs con
live and oven thrive, although buried
at y considerable depth, entirely away
from the light and any visible means
o! subsistence.

EROGS-A CHAPTER IN NATURAL
HISTORY.
& New Use for Toats.

The latest and most ingenious way
of getting rid OF reaches and water
bugs we have heard Of, is related OF n
citizen of Schenectady, whose Kitchen
was infested with them.
4 servant, hearing that toads were
an antidote, caught three ordinary
hop toa,ls and put them in the kitchen.
Not a roach or water bug, it is stated,
can now be found in the house. The
toatls have become demonstrated, never
wander about the house, and are 50
cieanly and inntfrnsivc that there Is no
objection to their presence.
Another use for toadS is to employ
them for insect destroyers in the gar
den. They are determined enemies of
all kinds of snails and sluas, which, 1t
is we'll known, can in single night
destroy II vast quantity of lettuce, car
rots, asparagus, etc. Toads are also
kept in vineyards, where they deVour
during the night millions of insects
that escape the pursuit of nocturnal
birds, and might commit incalcu!ahle
havoc on the buds and young shoots
of the vine. In Paris toads arc an
article of merchandise. They arc kept
in tubs, and sold at the rates of two
francs a dozen.

who have II memory for such things :

Ehc Vitality Of Frogs.
TChambcrs Journal. !

How long it is possible for frogs To
live without air and food has been n
matter Of experiment many times !;
but in the face of established in
stances like those quoted, ii il difficult
to conduct experiments that will he
considered as being of a conclusive
character. That these creatures should
be able to live, not for centuries only,
but for ages, appears contradictory to
all reason and common sense. In some
cases frogs have been found in crcta'
ccutts rocks. The oldest fossil toads and
frogs occur in tertiary rocks. If, there
fore, those found in crctaccous rocks
had been there from their formation
it would be equivalent TO saying that
the live frog could bc ages and ages
older than It's FOSSIL relatives. To mo5'
people such a declaration would he tho
! height of absurdity.

Electro plating IL advocated by Il
French chemist as II means of prcscry-
ing dead bodies. All that IL necessary,
he says, is to rub the body over with II
solution Of ptumbaginc aud then plunge
ii into Il copper bath. Bat copper being
rather an expensive material, zine may
be substituted FOR II in the case of the
poor. On the other hand, persons Of
luxurious tastes may use silver or gold
if they please, the effect being the same
The di5rovcrcr has tried his system
eleven times on the human subject ana

ing the duration of tho bath the body

THE HARVEST MOON.

The September moon tuls on Thurs
day. the 2llh, at A minutes after
o'clock in the morning, when our fair
satellite crowns the month with the
beautiful harvest moon. For several
successive nights after fulling, the moon
will rise in the eastern sky rs soon as
the sun disappears il the western,
flooding the earth with silver light, and
making it beautiful as a dream Of the
land where there is no night. Owing
TO the constant advance ofthc moon in
its orbit. it rises about 80 minutes later
each successive day. In September and
October it rises, however, bat a few
minutes later on several successive
evenings, and, as, this is the time OF
harvesting in England, the moon was
formerly supposed to afford special
light for harvesting, and was, hence,
! called harvest moon.
WHY it Is that these ri-ings at this
season, occur so nearly at the same
/ time may be easily shown 10y means of
"a globe. The ccliptic, near which the
planets and the moon have their course
! is most Obliquc to the horrisOn at this
season, so that the m OOn in our latitude
moves almost along the horizon when
rising, in consequence of which she ap
pears above it about the same time
several nights in succession. In the
polar regions the moon does not &c
below the horizon for Is days.

Tho major has n mottlcd-grcen coat, a
white vest trimmed with frccklcs,
brown shorts, splay stockings. and n

ness in the fly market the other frogs
have to GO hungry until he is so full he

to thrcsh the major, but he wallops
the two troglodytc frogs l captured in
the cave, which seems to relieve his

little Carthusians, have the alternative
| in times of excitement of being kicked
I all over the tank or diving to the bot
tom and holding their breath, in
martya nt,itaddrs, until the trouble
blows over. The operation of giving
them a dinner is TO shake the buzzing
contents of II fly tray into the tank and
quickly replace the gauge cover. Alter

their hind legs and polishing their
eyes after the custom of blue bottles,
