Pictured In Words.

The Bronx Valley, for many miles Of
its course, is . marvel of fog and cloud
effects these winter mornings When
neighboring hills have long emerged
into the clear sunlight the depths Of
the valley just along the stream
are still clad in thick clouds. mixed
with fog, and with smoke and steam
from the hundreds Of railway trains
that ceasslessly speed up and down the
valley. The deepest parts of the val.
ley. as seen from near hillsides, seem
level full with an almost snow-white
fluid mist, and this trails in long strata
across the face of wooded hillsides,
with riffs here and there that give
glimpses Of bareheaded tree trunks. A
few miles southwark, where the valley
broods in the east, Bronx Park looms,
4siry-like. through thinning mist, and
the sun floats, round and pale, shorn of
Its keener rays, while, just below, the
picturesque grounds and buildings Of
st. Johns college at Fordham take on
. quaint and antique air that doubles
9heir charm.

THE TRlCOlOR OF FRANCE. :.
Bow 1t Came to he Adopted As tbs NJ.
tl0nal Flag Long Ago.

Some seventy or eighty years before
France was involved in the flames Of
the revolution-tha is, at the epoch Of
the war of the succession, when she
was in close alliance with Spain and
Bavaria-it was thought desirable,
says All the Year Round, to distin.
guish the allied soldiers by n cOckade,
which combined the colors Of the three
nations-the white of France, the red
of Spain and the blue of Bavaria. To
none of these incidents, however,
would it be wise to attribute the origin
of the historic tricolOr and cockade
adopted by revolutionary France. At
the outset there seemed q likelihood
that greenwich Camille Desmoulins
had popularized at the Palais Royal
would have become the national color;
but men remembered in time that it was
that Of the livery of Comtc d. Artois,
the most unpopular of the Bourbon
princes, and it was thereupon discard
cd. A proposition was then made to
assume the colors of the city of Paris
blue and red, as Dumas reminds us in
his six Ans Apris." To these was
added the white of SO many glorious
memories, because it had been selected
by the national guard-always faith
full to the throne and its traditions.
Not until some months after the cap
ture of the Bastile was the tricolor
definitely adopted, when Bailly and La
fayette presented it to Louis XVI. in the
great hall of the Hotel de Vile, and
the convention issued u decree in
which it was described as consisting of
three cOlors-''disposees en- trois ban
dees cgalcs, de manicrc que lie bleu
SOFT attache a Ia garde du pavilion, le
blanc au millue, ct lie rouge flottant
dams les airs"-that is. in equal YER
teal sections, with the blue inward, the
red outward and the white between.
This is the historic flag which Ma
poleon's legions, in conjunction with
their eagles, bore VIGOROUSLY from
the Seine to the Elbe. the Tagus, the
Borodino and the Danube; which they
planted VIGOROUSLY on the walls Of al
most every European capital.

THE MOVEMENTS OF MARS.

4 Few Points Of Interest About the Ruddy
Planet o1 War.
The diameter of Mars in miles Il
about forty-two hundred, 10 that it,
surface is about three-tenths that o,
our earth, and its volume about one
seventh. Its mass is about one-ninth o,
the earth's mass, and its density some
seven-tenths. Its gravity, says . write,
in the Forum, il thirty-eight one-hun
dredths; that is, . body weighing one
hundred pounds on the earth woulG
weigh but thirty-eight on Mars. It TO
tates on its axis in twenty-four hours
thirty-seven minutes and twenty-thre<
seconds-that is. in about the same
time As the earth; it is fattened at the
poles like the earth, and its equator il
inclined to its orbit just as the esrth's
Is, and by something like the same
amount 1t receives about three-sev
enths - much of the suns light and
heat Is falls upon the earth. 1t Seems
to be certain, moreover, that the atmos
phere Of Mars contains . considerable
amount Of watery vspor. The re
searches of M. Gerigny show that tn,
tides on Mars have little to do with tn,
changes observed on its surface. Thest
figures show, ON the whole, . family
likeness between Mars and the earth

TALENTED TADPOLES.
Frogs Taught by Wealthy Invalid e
Play Many Amusing Tricks.


riay Many Amusing Tricks.
Horace Horton has reached the height
of success in the way of bringing frogs
under his persuasive control. He is a
wealthy invalid, and derives great
pleasure from teaching his pets. The
correspondent of the Philadelphia Rec
ord visited him the other day and
witnessed his unique frog circus. Gaz-
ing down INTO the artificial lake he saw
ocean shells scattered over the bottom,
and wondered what they were for. Mr.
Horton gave a shrill whistle. and stimuli
taneously from every shell hoped out
big frog. who kicked itself to the
surface Of the water. All jumped to the
smooth bank and sat staring at their
master. Attention." shouted Mr.. Hor-
ton, and every leg was drawn close 10
the body and the action was taken.
Form in line" came next, and the
well-trained amphibians formed in four
lines, with an old giant at their head,
who, Mr.. Horton said, weighed six
pounds and seven ounces. He was
enormous and looked as though he had
dincd OH his weaker brethren for gem
erations.
At the word Of command they per.
formed all kinds of evolutions, every
leg kicking in perfect unison. Their
movements were astonishing in mum
Der and variety, and one might well
believe Mr.. Horizons statement that il
took him over ten years to get this 50
lect company into such perfect disci-
pline. Races were held after the drill
and then followed jumping con-
test. At a given signal each frog In
turn leaped into the water and disap
peared.
What you have seen my frogs do q
far is very wonderful" said Mr.. Hor
ton, but their chief accomplishment
you have not seen, or heard, should
say. 1t is the wonder Of every one and
people have come miles to witness it
Wait till dusk and then will have their

Horton took the reporter out to thu
waters edge and gave him seat. He
then brought out . miniature must
clans stand and placed it near the edge
Of the little lake. At q signal note the
frogs came to the surface Of the waite,
and jumped into the stand. They
formed . circle, and at the word O:
command began to sing a tune. Each
frog had been selected because of hi
fine croak. and there was perfect scale
among the voices. The largest frog
sang the deepest bass. and little fel
low. almost tadpole, sang a shrill 70
prano.
1t was wonderful. Mr. Horton said
that during the warm months thei
voices were clearer and sweeter than q
this time Of year. When the frogs be
gan to show signs OF WEAKNESS theil
master gave the signal to stop and al
sought their homes at the bottom Of thu
lake. Mr.. Horton tells many stories o:
the intelli gence Of his pets.
