frog music, as discovered by writer in
La Science en- Famille, is the fact that
the frog keeps his mouth closed when he
is singing. 1t viii therefore be seen that
it would be useless to tell him to shut
up"
He can sing through his skin. He is
provided with a ppatr of resonant cham
bers like drums and he makes his music
by Swapping his muscles against these dis
tended membranes. Then he can breathe
through his skin and supply all the wind
that is necessary without opening his
mouth. Handel, in his Israel in
the oratorio, the motions and leapings of
the frogs.
A French scientist after long listening
in the woods. has made out and reduced
to writing the song of the frog, or swamp
music" as he calls it, and has discovered
that the frog repertoire is varied and
extensive. Frogs can carry on conVer-
sations at long distances and can commu-
Their songs, however. are all love
songs and as has been said, are only
induged in when there are female frogs
about 1t is then that the frog distends
his drums to their utmost, throwing his
head well back and his legs far apart
and raising his voice, as II Is called, to
the very highest pitch OF the musical
scale. A big, old green frog can thus
make himself heard for distance of more
than two miles, and the French savant
who has studied the subject says that
the females are, by this performance,
thrown into eCstacies of delight.
The song Of the frog has thus been
registered by the French savant: "Bre-
I5eke-brekelIe, krekete! Kpate too-oo,
Brekete! Brekete! Brekete! kwarr, brek-
etc too-ooW This closely resembles the
famous cry of the Yale college students
taken from the frog song OF the Aristo-
Dhanes and which is heard at every foot
bah match. 1t is supposed TO express
frog iOy of the uttermost.

JtwIs the Proper Title.


We are not Hebrews. Hebrew was the
language spoken by our ancestors when
they lived in Palestine. They were then
race whose mother language was Hebrew,
and as a Hebrew speaking people It was
certainly proper to refer to them as He
.brews
Hebrew refers 10 a language which We
do not speak, Israel to a nation which we
no longer form, and Jew to a religion to
which we belong. Therefore, we are not
Hebrews-we are an English or German
speaking people or whatever happens to
be the language of the country in which
we live We are not Israelites, but Amer
leans, Germans, etc, proud Of citizenship
in our country and law abiding and law
reverencing. We are Jews as a religious
community. proud Of the history Of the
Jewish people, but with no desire to ever
again form a separate nation or speak
language different from that Of the people
in whose midst we live, and OF whom we
form q component part.

CONCERNING INSANITY.
Some of the Popular Fallaoies on the
Subject Exposed.
From the IndlanapoIis journal.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
At the meeting of the Science Club DR..
f. 3. Wynn read an interesting paper on
'Popnlar Falacies Concerning insanity -
The paper was written in a popular vein,
devoid of technicalities and was enjoyed.
Or. Wynnspoke from an experience of
about six years in the hospitals of Logan
port, Ind, and Dayton, o. He treated
humorously the exaggerated ideas of
insanity entertained by most inexperi-
enced persons and recited incidents Of
bheriffs bringing weak and emaciated
persons to hospitals in heavy manacIes.
The general idea that the insane person
is possed of herculean strength, with
wild glaring eyes, was shown to be in
most cases false. The appearance of
the lunatic generally does not differ ma
terially from those not considered in
sane Under acute maniacal excitement
the power of endurance does seem grca-
ter than normal. The degree OF waste,
however, is just as great That the
patients often die of physical, exertion
indicates that the power Of endurance Is
more apparent than real. The proportion
of violent and demonstrative patients
found in asylums day after day will not
exceed to 100 population.
Insanity does not cause as much suffer-
ing on the part of the individual as is
commonly supposed, an acute attack
is generally supervened by what might be
termed an exaggerated phlegmatic state.

SONGS OF THE FROG.
Only the Males Raise UP Their Voices
IN 1uneful Melody.

From the New York World.
The frog is the latest member of the
animal kingdom whom science has put
under a microscope and compelled to
yield up information for the use and
amusement of man. 1t appears that this
gentleman, whose vocal activity is one
of the features of suburban life most like
ly to attract attention from city visitors,
is equipped with a complicated and ex-
traordinary musical apparatus.
When the frog wishes to express his
JOY he bursts forth into song. He lifts
up his voice and makes the woodland
ring. Only the male frogs sing. The fe-
males constitute the audience who sit
in the front row and enjoy the music
and 1t IS the speckled green frog who is
the prime soloist of the woods.
These operettas only take place at
night, and the performance begins about
s 80, after an overture by the katydids
ana the early mosquitoes. The frog,
however, does not come out upon the
stage with roll of music in one hand
and a SNUG smirk on his face. Neither
does he proceed to scatter sand upon the
floor from cornucopia, and preface his
performance with song and dance,
after the manner Of vaudeville artists.
He jumps right into the middle of his
song without even preliminary bow
10 the front row in the audience, and,
after a succession of short, sharp notes,
uttered in quick succession, he let's it go
at that. Then he may receive either an
encore or be the objective point of an
tipue eggs, or bits of stone from the
hands of some of his auditors, in which
latter case he makes a rapid dive be-
meath the waters and is lost to sight.
Who has not heard the sweet musical
strains of a speckled frog ringing out
on the calm evening air, Immediately
succeeded by "kcrChunk as he dis
appears beneath the wave? That hap
pens when his song fails to meet with ap-
probation. There are always other frogs
about when these songs are sung. Most
of them are females, otherwise there
would be no song, for a male frog sing
ing to his fellows would not be allowed TO
get much further than the first two bars.
Stories have been told of a frog in the
darkness who, seeing others of his kind
whom he took for ladies, burst forth into
loud melodious notes of JOY and was sud-
denly cut short in his musical career by a
shower of missiles from indignant male
frogs whose meditations he had dis
turbed. This only happens to the young
bucks of the frog tribe. for the older
heads are too shrevd TO make fools of
themselves when there are any other
than female frogs about.

Talk About Bullets a Disgrace.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. General Master
Workman Sovereign OF the Knights Of
Labor spoke here yesterday to a crowd
Of about 1O,0oo people. His speech in the

recapture it with bullets we will shoot

PORT ARTHUR AS IT is.
China's Naval Station Protected on the
Sea and Weak on the Land Side.


Port Arthur, the largest naval station
belonging to the Chinese, which was cap
tured by the japanese yesterday, is situ-
ated at the extreme southern point of the
Liaotung Peninsula. The port has large
refitling basin, with a depth OF % feet at
low water. On the border of this basin
are spacious wharves and quays, and these
are connected with the workshops by a
railway. Two docks-one 400 feet in
length and the other smaller--are there
ready for the repair of ships OF all sizes
The foundries and workshops are cou-
structed on the most improved models
and contain the best modern machinery
The harbOr is protected both on the land
and sea sides by strong forts armed with
modern guns of heavy calibre.
Port Arthur was defended by 1000
troops accoutred and drilled under
European model, and the port was further
defended by submarine mines and fleet
of torpedo boats in addition to the Chi
nese northern squadron of Warships
which has been refitting there for some
time past and which has been pronounced
to be almost ready to put to sea again in
search of the enemy.
Port Arthur is entered by a channel
about 200 yards broad, and. while it does
not afford an anchorage for large feet,
its fine tidal basin is capable of holding
from fifteen to twenty warships AS the
harbor is free from ice all the winter. it
is an admirable place for a squadron to
seek refuge in for repairs and recoaling
Before Port Arthur was converted into
modern barber it afforded convenient
shelter for wind-bound junks which we're
employed in carrying timber from the
Yalu river to the various ports on the
Gulf Of Pechill or on the Gulf of Lihotung
At that time Port Arthur was merely a
village consisting OF about sixty or eighty
mud houses, an occasional shop and three
or four drinking saloons. Now the pop
ulation is estimated to be about 5000 ex-
elusive of the garrison, and the number
of houses is estimated to be from 600 to
500, in addition to two large temples, two
theaters and several banks. The pros
perity of-the town began with the deter
mination of the authorities in 1881 to es-
tablish naval dock at Port Arthur.
which was finally completed in 1890 bv n
take over the work from the native con-
tractors, who had been killing time with
little or no results from 1881 to 1887. The
coast defenses of Port Arthur cover over
four miles of seabOard and consist Of
about dozen batteries equally distributed
on either side of the entrance to the port
These batteries are armed with more than
forty krupp guns, varying from six inches
TO nine inches in caliber. and in addition
there are some modern rifed nortars
On the land front the shoaling of the
harbor gives protection on the western
side, and on the eastern side there are
hills upon which are small fortified camps
