FROM TApPOLE TO FROG.
Many Shapes Assumed I'm Transi.
titi0n From one State to the Other.

A frog meets with remarkable
changes during his natural life. He
begins as an egg and matches out as
fish. That is tadpole, or polliwog,
At first his gills breathing water alone.
In his early days, however, 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 porpoise, to get q
fresh gulp OF breath.
During the first part OF his career
he swims by sculling with long tail.
After while his legs begin to grow
out, his tail becomes shorter and
shorter, and when he is a complete
frog he has no tail at all, but swims by
kicking. When half frog and half
tadpole he still has good deal of tail,
and, in addition, big hind legs and
mere sprouts of fore legs; so that he
is very funny looking fellow. Again
the tadpole eats water plants, but
when he becomes a frog he feeds on
animal life. Tadpoles ca. the green
moss or " scum" that we see so often
on logs and plants in strsgnant pool
and they show q good appetite for
soft, decaying watergrowths. The
fouler the pool, the happier the tad
poles. As they are numerous, and
thus deyour q great amount of matter
that would make it very unhealthful
to live near a stagnant pond, they are
really useful creatures. In captivity,
they will generally eat meat, whet her
good or bad, as we'll as bread and bran
dough, and, as q special relish, will
sometimes lunch on one another's
tails. The common frog gets his
final shape in the first season, but the
bull.frog goes under the mud for the
winter, while still tsdpole, and il
takes at least another summer, and
sometimes more, before he has full
right to be called frog. He is some
four years from the egg when in full
growth, and does not become q bull
frog until ten years more.

A WHITE BLACK MAN.
Thomas Cleveland Has Only . Few
Small Spots Of Color Left.

DR.. Stelwagon lately lectured at his
clinic at the Jefferson College hospital,
Philadelphia, on the case of Thomas
Cleveland, q negro, whose entire skin
has turned white save few small
patches on his face.
Cleveland, who il known as Uncle
Tom, was exhibited at the clinic in be-
half of medical science by DIR. Med.
Lindsey, who brought him from the
south and is making a tour of the
leading medical colleges with him.
Uncle Tom states that he is about
&C years of age, and says he was born
in the neighborhood of Washington,
d. c., either in Maryland or Virginia.
At an early age he and his mother and
brother we're taken south and sold to
planter in Hart county, Georgia.
Prior to the war he worked as planta.
ton laborer, and since then has been
what is known as a "cropper," tilling
the soil ON shares.
At the age of seventeen his skin be-
gan to turn white in patches. Now
his entire epidermis save few patches
the size of a nickel on his cheek
bones is white. When these patches
disappear. which DR.. Stelwagon says
will be probably within year or six
months. Uncle Tom will be as white
as any man and have nothing to dis
tinguish him from Caucasian save
his kinky hair and the conformation
Of his head.
DR.. Stelwagon stated that cases OF a
partial loss of pigment were not un-
usual, but said that complete loss ol
color like that of Uncle Tom was re.
markable and almost the only one on
record. This loss ofpigment, the doc.
tor said, was under the influence of the
nervous system. 1t was usually as
sociated with some nervous disease,
but in Uncle Toms instance this did
not appear to be the case.
