countered the other day in q down town

proprietor dozen fat frogs. They wero

boy, ''and it amt no fun either, going

''What DO you charge for them:
''Well, for nice. big ones, can get
sixty cents dozen, answered the youth.
A German woman from some place
"down in Jersey" peddles frogs. too.
She is talkative enough, except when
inquisitive folks try TO find out just
where the festive froggy can be found.
Then she shrewdly scents a possible
competitor, and thereafter remains as
mute as the proverbial oyster.
The usual way to cook bull frogs, or
COW frogs, as the boys call them, is, ac-
cording to certain gastronomic authori-
ties, simple thing. Roll the frogs In
cracker dust and then fry them as you
would an oyster. One gentleman OF
pronounced epicurean tastes says that if
the flavor of the succulent dainty is de-
sired, it should simply be fried in butter

To Utilize Wave Power,

y caveat for improvement in ocean
wave motors has been fled with the
commissioner of patents by S. \. LET
fngwell, of Coronado Beach, through
his attorney, Clara Foltz. The object OF
the invention is to convert the forces OF
the waves of the ocean into motive
power for driving machinery on shore
for electric lighting, etc.
This is accomplished by means of a
float placed in the open sea. In the float
are tubes extending to depth Of thirty
or forty feet below sea level, open at the
bottom and closed at the top in such 4
manner as to reDin pressure of air.
At the top of each tube is valve open
ing to admit air into the tube and closing
against an outward current.
There is also valve opening into 4
pressure reservoir through which all
may pass out, corresponding to the vale
gear of an ordinary pump. BY this ar
rangement air is pumped into the reser-
voir with pressure suitable for driving
an engine located on the float and con-
nected with a dynamo converting the
power into electricity. The electricity
is transmitted by electric cable and used
as driving power, or otherwise, as may
be desired Experiments were recently
made on the bay, with the most salts.
factory results.
The machine, however, is intended
for use in deep sea mile from shore.
ANY amount of power can be had, ac'
cording to the size of the plant used.
The principle of the motor is practical
and economical, and its inventor lives

VIC sritnn,s Curiositics.

One cannot be surprised TO hear that
the sultan thinks of turning his innum-
cradle curiosi;ies into money. Those
who have been allowed to visit the OAR
es-Saadet and st. Irene-a rare privilege
observation-disclosures been wondering ever
since. probably, what motive or superSti-
ton has checked his majesty so long.
Nor is it altogether surprising that 4
London ieweler of position should hest
tate to accept the charge of valuing these
miscellaneous hoardS-a dozen experts
of the most conSummate assurance would
find more than they could deal with
there. One thing is certain-that nobody
can form an idea how much this aston
iShiug collection is worth. We may sup
pose from the choice of 4 jcwcler no adj
wise him, that the sultan puts most value
on his gems. Certainly they are so many
and so huge that all the crown treasures
of Europe could not equal the display
if only they be genuine. But there is
grave doubt on that question, TO begin
with.
Since the gates have been closed to all
but 4 few favored visitors, there has
been no effective supervision Of the
guardians. who. it must be supposed,
are not paid more punctuallv than other
officials. 1t was on their complaint Of
purloining strangers that the old facili-
ties were withdrawn. and Some think
that they had motive quite different
from honest Indignation in that protest.
When those museums are overhauled,
however, thousands of objects more
precious than gold or jewels will be I'M
earthed. As an instance, q thief succeed
cd III stealing three old helmets from St.
Irene Just before the doors were closed
and sold them to an English gentleman
resident at Pera fo- less than hundred
francs apiece. This gentleman parted
with one for more than 4 thousand

now They work with Snow.

Great interest has been manifested
since Saturday afternoon in the running
Of the electric cars, as this was the first
snow storm of any magnitude since they
had been in operation. To their credit
be it said that they worked admirably,
and that had it not been for the horse
cars on the same tracks passengers by
the electricS would have had little to
complain of. The newly equipped cleo
trio snow plows were put on early in the
afternoon, and with one exception did
their work admirably, while to supple
ment them in several cases an ordinary
pillow was pushed ahead of motor car
The tracks of the electric lines were Us
clearly swept as if by hand, and the
smooth rails all day Sunday were in
marked contrast to the ice coated iron on
other lines. Good work in this dircc-
ton with the bulk of the snow once off,
was done by the small brushes carried
by each electric car.
The electric plows are novelties in their
way, and most interesting to watch at
work Each sweeper consists of a plat
form car mounted on four wheeled
truck, two Thomson-Houston motors con-
Meeting with the axles furnishing motive
power. Underneath each end of the car
is large cylindrical brush reaching
across the track at an angle of about
10 degS. Upon the car is an electric
motor of fifteen horse power, which
runs these brushes at Il rapid rate of
speed. An upright standard in the cen
ter of the car supports the trolley, whdch
is similar to those on the box cars, and
around it is group of incandescent
lights The motors which run the car
are of thirty horse power, The car runs
either way, and the brushes are so gcared
that the one on either end can be oper-
ated while the other is lifted from the
track. They sweep the track very clean,
and throw clouds of fine snow ahead of
them as they do it.-Boston Journal.

About Stanley's Hair.

The correspondent who went up coun-
try to meet Stanley describes his hair as
being quite white. This he ascribes to
the privations of the expedition. But
those who met Mr. Stanley when he was
formerly in this country will be re-
minded by the kilograms of an incident
regarding which the great explorer was
some years ago twitted by his friends.
As matter Of fact, his hair had become
white long ago. But Mr.. Stanley did
not appreciate the venerable appearance
which his gray locks gave him. They
became black again good deal more
suddenly than they had grown white.
In view Of the chance of another Curl
Gus change of this kind, it is rather awk-
ward that their present color should
have been so universally made known.
