the necessary apparatus This lei to the

If the report from England be correct the
Saunderson arc lamp possesses some very
valuable properties. The principle on
which the invention is based is that Of r.
inforcing the luminous particles of mean
descent carbon in the electric arc by sup
ply of hydrocarbon vapor This is FED
directly into the arc from the hollow lower
carbon, fitted with a reservoir of oil and a
wick. The effect of the added volume Of
vapor is said TO be an enormous increase
in the luminosity of the arc, consequently
a most brilliant and economical light. The
hydrocarbon employed is very cheap and
the hollow carbon entails very slight eX
ira expense; but the efficiency of the arc
in watts per candle is said to be nearly
doubled. The color Of the arc is changed
by the enriching medium to a clear yellow
ish white, quite different from the usual
blush glare The invention is certainly
very ingenious, and if the results are uni
formly as good as those found by DR.. Hop
kinson, who conducted the tests quoted
we may expect before long to see the new
electric torch in general use.-New York

THE eggs Of the bullfrog are laid late in
May, while those Of the common frog are
Matched in March or April Much, how.
ever, depends on the weather AT that
time you can hear them crOak You can
always tell the male by the sound Of his
voice. As you approach You viii hear his
familiar r-r-rum, r-rum. The female voice
is not nearly SO strong as that Of her mate.
Their faculties Of hearing are acute. They
discern the sound Of approaching footsteps
at great distance, and after giving the
alarm remain silent.
They lay their eggs near the edge Of the
pond, if possible among the grasses that
line it. The eggs rise immedlatelySo the
surface. The frogs separate then, and il
the weather is genial the eggs are Matched
in the course OF about fourteen days
They first appear like n pin with a large
head. Tadpoles have no legs, the body ta
pers into a TAIL giving it a fahlike form.
The mouth is horny beak which falls of
when it becomes a frog The hind legs
grow first, and afterward the fore legs be
gin to appear, the tail being gradually alb
sorbed They live exclusively in the water,
but the mature frog visits the pond only
occasionally, although capable Of remain
ing long immersed, but always preferring
moist places.
On each side of the neck of the male il
a delicate membrane, which when they
croak becomes inflated with air. The
greater proportionate length and strength
Of the hind legs enables them TO leap dis

to all others in the world. In Rio Janerio
they have q species called the blacksmith
frog, which croaks 50 sonorously that the
noise is like the changing OF hammer on
an anvil. The intermingling voices Of
other kinds resemble the lowing Of cattle
at distance The frog in Peru has ac
quired the name Of the sugarmiller, be.
cause its voice has a grating sound like
that produced by a sugar mill.-lnterview
