A WONDERFUL FROG STORY
While a large pine log was being
worked up at the Brown & Hall
sawmill, Acton, Ontario, a wonder
full discovery was made. After the
outside 'tslab" had been cut off, a
large toad was seen to poke his head
out of a hole, IN which he was i'm
bedded, and where he had barely
escaped being cut in two by the saw.
How the creature ever got there
is a mystery, as he was perfectly
incased in the wood with no posi-
BILE means of ingress or egress. AS
the log was the fourth or fifth mp
from the but of the tree his position
must have been at least 80 or 60
feet up from the ground. There is
but one way of accounting for the
fact that he was found in the stu
alton mentioned: He had grown
up with the tree from infancy and
was probably hundreds of years old
when the saw awakened him from
his long nap. Naturalists of Acton
say that he is of an unknown spe-
cies of the reptilia, and that the
cavity in which he was found
was perfectly sound and as
smooth as though chiseled ont BY q
carpenter. He was surrounded on
all sides with solid wood from Al
inches to "a feet thick.-Republic.

Of wood into the carcass of fat
bird or fish, and this dismal, stencil
fnl thing burned until the oil in the
bird or fish was exhausted. In Ice
land that kind Of candel is some
times used to this day.
In the Medieval Ages the people
rose at daybreak and went to bed
at sunset. They couldn't stand the
smell of the lamps. The curfew
bell, that, during the reign of Will
liam the Conqueaor, warned the
people to put ont their lights, wasn't
much of q hardship after all. There
could not have been a great deal of
pleasure in sitting around reading
Robert Elsmere, or Mr.. Barnes of
New York under the sporadic fash
es Of a smoking lump Of fat or blub-
Der.
The first attempt at inventing
tallow candles was made in the
twelfth century, but only rich peo-
pie could afford candles. They
were considered great luxury. 1t
was not until the fifteenth century
that tradespeople could afford to
use candles. A dip that would last
an hour cost sixpence. 1t had o
fiaxen wick, for cotton was dearer
than silk, and it was only in castles
that cotton-wicked candles, we're
burned. The drippings of the can
dies were saved and made into new
candles. Wax candles were also
used, but only in churches. Dur
ing the middle ages a wax taper,
presented to a church, was consid-
cred princely gift.
At cost of four hundred crowns,
Henry II sent two wax tapers,
weighing ten pounds each, to the
Canterbury Cathedral, and Louis
II, whenever he spent few thous-
and dollars in riotous excessess and
debauchery, spent an equal amount
in candles fer the church of "Our
Lady of Grace" SO as to balance
his account with the angel of record
above.
The ends of wax candles, and the
drippings from them, were valuable
perquisites claimed by lords-in-
waiting in kings palaces.
Voltaire added to the small sti-
pend paid him by Frederick the
Great, by pocketing all the candle
ends he could lay his hands on.
The lighting of the Tuilleries,
when Napoleon was consul, cost
over 10000 francs a year.
All this time the oil lamp was
just as smoky and offensive as ever.
Whales hlubber or olive oil was
used until the middle of the last
century, when COLA oil was dis
covered.
About a hundred years ago
Swiss, named Argand, invented the
cylindrical neck. Then some one
thought of placing a funnel of glass
around the flame to cause the smoke
to be consumed, and thus the mod
ern lamp came slowly into existence,
and the nineteenth century was
the first one born under the light
of smokeless lamp.
Later, coal oil dethroned the tai
low and wax candle and took the
place of the olive and whale oil.
Then gas came and fought its way
slowly against the prejudices and
conservatism of our fathers.
We all remember when electricity
ushered in a new era of lightning,
and we all know what great things
it has done for US.
