full T~'.culinrities.
The tadpole is not, perhaps, a crea-
turc which commands universal admi.
ration; but Il London paper says there
is a healthy brood at the London Zoo,
which are, for many reasons, deserving
Of notice. To begin with, they have
not the black and forbidding aspect Of
the tadpolc which is one of the COM
O objects of q country walk in
March. These tadpoles arc largely col
orlcsS. and have an engaging way OF
balancing themselves on their heads,
instead Of wriggling up to each other
like our familiar a~cquaintances. Their
chief merit, however, is that they are
the offspring Of their parents. They
come from eggs deposited by an Afri-
can frog, which has the rather doubt
full distinction of being more like q
newt than any other frog; this frog,
known technically as Xenopus Lewis,
has never before condesccnded to breed
ut the Zoo, or in captivity, so its young
were very impcrfcctly known.
As the frog itself is one Of those
links in creation which are fortunately
not missing, Il good Of interest attaches
to the tadpolc, which might be fairly
expected to go one better than its par
cnts. It does, as a matter Of fact, re-
alizc these expectations, for it has q
pair of long feelers on it's chin, which
are exactly like the barbels Of fishes.
The frog has r~esemblances to animals
lower in the scale, and the tadpole has
atfinities to animals a stage lower

Prendcrgast had Il great many marks
of the crank. One of them was his
habit of letter writing. He was Il
strong opponent of the repeal of the
Silver-purch:ise law, and deluged the
senators with letters on the subject, de-
claring that the people demanded free
coinage. Another of his freaks was
that he was ashamed of his name.
His parents had him christened Pat
rick, but he signed himself p. Eugene
