rhs vinter habits Of III. I'm. ~.

The winter habits OF the frog arc
aot dissimilar to those OF other rep-
lillian animals. It burrows into the
mud at the bottom of the pool and re-
mains in q torpid condition until
spring. The vital processes appear to
be sustained during the time by Mutri-
ment stored up in special internal
organ called the fat-body.
As is we'll known. the spring is the
season of the greatest activity with
these animals. The discordant croaks
of the male frog are a characteristic
sound of the warm spring night In
some species. as subservient to the
production of voice. there are large
dilatations of the skin at the sides of
the head in the male. These sacks
having been filed with air, it Is forced
out along two menbranous folds which
by their vibration produce voice. A
frog can often be made to croak by
stroking its sides and thus the action
of these sacks may be demonstrated
In respect to intelligence the frog
can not be said to be in any wise re-
markable. Its instincts are very few.
1t makes no nest, and Ia fact appears
to give no attention whatever to IT'D
young; the whole Office of maternity
ending when the eggs have been pro-
duced. 1t constructs no place of re-
treat depending for ooncealment upon
thrusting its body into the mud at the
bottom of the pool 1t shows its
greatest alertness in catching its prey.
though this depends rather on the Pc
culiar structure and qualities of its
tongue than skill in the use of it 1t
leaps and swims with agility and di-
rectness; but it seldom exercises this
power except under alarm. 1t shows
no quality of sportlveness. When not
aroused by hunger or other desire, it
appears content to lead sluggish, in
active existence.
A peculiar feature of the frog is the
presence of what are called lymph
hearts. There are four in all. two of
which are situated on the posterior part
of the back just at the sides of the verte-
bre ridge. By careful watching, these
lymph-hearts may be seen to pulsate.
They serve to force the lymph-a white
fluid gathered from the tissues-intO
the great veins. thus passing it into
the general blood circulation.
A good many other points OF greater
or less interest could be named, but
our examination may close by noticing
the several species of frogs common
in this country. The most common
species is Rama halecina. the frog of
the pools, streams and marshes, too
well known to need description. Its
hind limbs are very palatable. but the
true edible species is Rama EscuIanto.
which is larger and of brighter
color. In this species the vocal sacks
of the male are especially well devel-
oped. The eyes are rather closer to
gether than in r. halecinG and the
area of the tympanic membrane just
behind the eyes is larger Our largest
species is Rama ptpiens, commonly
called the bull-frog. 1t sometimes at
tains length of at least eight inches.

A Striking Novelty KseeutIy IatsoAneeA
By the Russis. Gevsrsnsst
On the great railway which the
Russian Government Is building in
Central Asia a novelty has been III
troduced In the shape Of a school-car
and a chapel-car, which. coupled To-
gether. move up and down the line
In tho school-car there are several
compartments. including. besides the
large school-room. lodging-room for
the teacher and library. This school
on wheels is not continually under
way. like an ordinary Pullman or =
dining-car. 1t is not, indeed, under
way at all when school is in session.
1t is intended for points along the
line OF the Samarcand railway which
are not otherwise provided with edu-
cational advantages 1t gives one
town an opportunity for at least few
weeks of intruction. and then moves
on to another.
For some time this car lay at the
Russians capital in Central Asia. Sam
arcand. and afforded certain children
there the first opportunity they had
ever had for school instruction. This
fact was somewhat remarkable, since
the site of Samarcand is in various
places covered with famous schools"
which. though some of them are still
magnificent buildings. are schools no
longer.
In the Middle Ages Samarcand was
one of the most famous college cities
in all the world. The Arabs called it
1.-The asylum of peace and science" In
the fifteenth century the ''Ulug-beg."
a school of astronomy and mathe-
mates, was erected in the chief public
square. This school became famous
throughout the world. Gradually
other colleges were built. until they
covered three sides of the great square.
and were scattered as well through
other parts of the city.
But Samarcand is only a rich oasis
in the midst of great desert. Its ir-
rigating works had attracted a dense
population. and the conqueror Timur
made it mis- capital.
Samarcand was then almost justified
in calling itself the capital of the
world. But about it lay vast deserts
over which the barbarian nomads
roamed. After Thurs death it was
frequently overrun by these nomads,
and was so completely and repeatedly
wasted by them that in 100 the
Asylum of peace and science" had but
one inhabitant!
The Russians, who first came to
Samarcand only few years ago, have
made it the seat of their Central Asian
administration. and the city, in 1880,
had acquired population of $4,000,
and is now much larger.
The new masters OF Central Asia
have restored many of the architect
ural monuments of the place, and
under their patronage Samarcand
may become once more 1.-The holy
place of science But for the pres
ent. the school-car on the railway il

sides of the body. as is the case with
the higher vertebrated animals. But
a mechanism of similar principle of
operation is found in the floor of the
mouth. This is capable of being
lowered by the muscular action. thus
greatly enlarging the mouth cavity.
The vacuum thus formed is filed by
air passing in through the nostrils
These passages are then closed, and
the floor Of the mouth raised, the air
thus being forced into the lungs. The
action is therefore not dissimilar to
that OF a force-pump The lungs

place by the mere reaction OF their

The skin appears to be a necessary
accessory organ in breathing. At any
rate frog soon dies when kept in q

be that the pores of the skin are closed

purified In winter they breathe
through the skin alone. And it has
been shown that in summer, when
their vital processes are in the highest
