How Frogs Develop-Quecr Things.

st. Nicholas.
Frogs are mainly juice. If they try
to make more than a short Journey
away from moisture, in a drought,
they will perish for want of water;
and then their bodies will dry away.
The frogs bones are SO soft that he
scarcely leaves any skeleton.
A frog meets with remarkable
changes during his natural life. He
begins as an egg and matches out us
a fish. That is, asa tadpJle or polly
wOg, at first has gills, breathing wa
ter alone. In his early days, howev-
er, the tadpole soon loses the outside
part of his gills and breathes air; so
that he has to come to the surface Of
the water every few minutes, like a
porpoise, to get a fresh gulpof breath.
During the first part Of his career,
he swims by sculling with his long
tail. After awhile his legs begin to
grow out, his tail becomes shorter
and shorter, and when he is a COM
plete frog, he has no tail at oil, but
swims by kicking. When half frog
and half tadpole, he still has a good
deal of tail, and, in addition, big hind
legs and mere sprouts of fore legs so
that he is a very funny looking fel-
low. A bullfrog-tadpolc at this stage
seems neither of heaven nor Of
earth"
Again, the tadpole eats water
plants, but when he becomes a frog.
he feeds on animal life. Tadpoles eat
the green moss or ''scum" that we see
SO often on logs and plants in a stag
nant pool, and they show a great ap-
petite forsoft, d%ecaying water growth.
The fouler the pool the happier the
tadpoles. AS they are numerous, and
thus devour a great amount of mat
ter that would make it unhealthful to
live near a %stagnant pool, they are re-
ally useful creatures.
In captivity they will generally eat
meat, whether good or bad, as well as
bread or bran dough and, as IA spec.
ial relish, will sometimes lunch on
another's tails.
The common frog gets his final
shape in the first season but the
bullfrog goes under the mud for the
winter, while still a tadpole; and ii
takes at least another summer, and
sometimes more, before he has full
right to be called a frog. lie Is some
four years from the egg in getting full
growth, and does not become old fol
about ten years.

Tho Discharged Agent Says the Indians
Are Abused and Calls . Meeting.
FORT GIBSON, /. T., July 17.-For some
time efforts have been made to induce
somebody Of unquestioned standing to
take the initiative in movement looking
toward statehood for the five civilized ma
tions. This weeks Muskogee Phoenix
contains a letter from ex-Indian Agent
Bennett, which goes far toward gratifying
the wishes of the statehood element
Mr.. Bennett was recently removed froca
Office on account Of the brave stand he
took in preventing the execution of GER
tain Choctaw Indians, but the letter above
referred to was written some time prior
to his removal. A'y -,
He thinks congress has the power, re-
gariless Of treaties, to remedy these
wrongs, and that something ought to be
done to protect the Indians, as well as
other citizens In short, he is an advocate
Of statehood, and recommends that mass
meeting be held at Muskogee soon, to de-
wise ways and means to get at legislation
that will relieve the people, and give them
a government that will protect all citizens
alike. This is considered as the beginning
of movement that will result in the dis
ruption of The present tribal relations.

claimed, and all outlets from the valley
were closed with extra guards. Fifteen
lepers surrendered to the expedition mt
Hanalei, and two lepers were captured at
Waimea pass by the police. These had
been driven of the valley by the leper
Koolau, because they refused to join and
fight the government forces

escape over q trail known only to the lep-
ers, provided they could reach IT, other
wise, they would fight to the last and then
kill themselves before they would sur
render
by July s orders were forwarded by
steamer Iwalani to bring the lepers in dead

steamer Iwalani next Sunday, bringing
the last of the Kanai lepers who have de-
fed the government for the past 10 years.
