A Frog With Four Wings.

The curiosity Of tropical Africa is the
wonderful flying frog, first described by
Bishof of the equatorial African expe
dition, which returned to Europe in the
fall of 1894. This oddity of the reptile
family is about the size Of common
bullfrog and resembles other members
of the order of batrachians in every
thing but it's feet, each of which is
webbed and enormously enlarged, so
much SO as to form splendid substitutes
for true wings. The creature has five
toes on each Of the other two, which
makes four separate membranes on each
Of it's hind feet and three on each fore
foot, or IA in all. In his description of
it Bishoff says, Each leg terminates
in sort of fan, and with these the lit
tie reptile paddles the air like locust,
or like partially fedged bird testing
it's pinions for the first time'
Although somewhat awkward in it's
flight, the winged frog can dart through
the air at speed of about ten yards per
second and can keep itself going for
ward at that rate for from 10 to Is Sec
onds. The average distance covered by
these spurts of grasshopperlike flight is
from rs to 1875 yards, but Bishoff men
lions instances where the flying frog
cleared sandy stretches 200 yards in
width.-St Louis Republic.

Some Peculiarities of Icebergs.

Derelicts and icebergs are among the
dangers to which vessels are constantly
exposed, the latter being perhaps the
more formidable of the two, because
there are more Of them at certain sea-
sons, and there is no telling when one
of these monsters may heave in sight.
An ordinary iceberg shows one-ninth Of
its bulk above water. During the pres
ent season number of these masses Of
lce--at least 100 feet high-have been
encountered by steamships. 1t is scarcely
possible to imagine an iceberg with 900
feet of it's bulk below water One cap
tain reports having seen an enormous
field Of ice at least 800 feet high and
1000 feet long 1t had evidently but
just turned over, as the upper portion
was full Of sharp angles and points, and
the water was trickling down it's side
One Of the greatest dangers from ice
hergs is being in their Vicinity when
they turn over The sea currents wash
and melt them into all sorts Of fantastic
figures and points. They melt below SO
much more rapidly than above that the
center Of gravity becomes disturbed, and
they turn with tremendous force Some
times the disturbance is almost equal to
IL tidal wave and is sufficient to upset
any small craft that may be in it's way

in the time of the old cavalry depot.
On a certain very foggy night there was
a complete silence, broken only by the
voices of the sentries who, at regular
intervals, passed the usual word down
the line. The officer woke up just as
the usual watch was passing, and this
was what he heard: First sentry, mo
/, and all's well!' Then there was
silence for a moment, and voice called
into the darkness, "No. 8, and all's
WE'LL and No. 2's asleep!" Before No.
could take up the thread of the pro-
ceedings a voice in which more than a
suspicion of slumber remained cried
hurriedly, "No. 2, and all's we'll, and

There is report that the Duke OF
York's baby is deaf and dumb, but ev.
will hope that it is not true,
and that the royal sucking will talk and
hear as we'll as anybody when the time
comes. If not, the disability will not be
without it's alleviations. Only few oil
his line have said anything good o,
heard anything good Of themselves il
six generations One of his succession
earned this epitaph, which he may de-
serve whether he talks Or not:
Here lies Prince Fred
Who was alive and is dead.
Had it been his father
had much rather.
Had it been his brother
Sooner than the other.
Had it been his sister
There's no one would have missed her.
Had it been his whole generation
All the better for the nation.
But as it's only Fred,
Who was alive and is dead,
There is nothing to be said.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.
It's Recent and Rapid Development Upon
the Continent.

It's Recent and Rapid Development Upon
the Continent.
Before recent meeting Of the Ameri-
can Institute of Electrical Engineers
Mr. Fl. Ward Leonard delivered an in
teresting address upon electrical engi-
neering developments in France and
England as contrasted with those in
America In its commercial develop
ment of electricity A1,,,arica is placed
first-in fact, far i'll ad%nce Of the old
world cOuutries-but considered from an
engineering standpoint Mr.. Leonard
thinks the United States is losing the
lead it has thus far held. He lays the
responsibility for this conditis q Of affairs
almost entirely at the door Of the great
electrical monopolies, which have stood
in the way of progress, and particularly
in preventing the trial Of devices and
systems of which Europe presents yarie-
ties unknown to us. He questions what
has been done in this country in the
way of electrical engineering develop
ment since Edison started his three wire
lightning distri bution at Sunbury, Pa,
in 1888, and Westinghouse established
his alternating system with 1000 volt
primary and SO volt secondary few
years later, and sprague started the
Richmond electric railroad in 1887.
There has Of course been great extension
of installation along these lines.
We have, Mr.. Leonard says, the best
three wire central station plants in the
world. Also the best alternating sys-
tenn, converting from l, 900 to SO volts,
but we have practically no other kind
Of central station to point to. We are
operating 500 volt continuous current
electric railways at distances for which
1000 volts should be used instead of
800, and after investing more money in
copper per Car than the entire cost Of the
electrical equipment we still lose twice
as much energy as is commercial in the
line. In England in alternating systems
a three wire secondary is used with 100
volts on each side, and, according to
Mr.. Leonard's view, there was no ex-
cuse except patents for SO volt two
wire secondary originally, and none
save the inertia and prejudice of a large
corporation for continuing to put in the
two wire secondary today.
Rotary transformers are used in sew
eral stations in England for a continu-
GUS current, high potential multiple arc
distribution, the secondary being three
wire system, and some American inven-
lions not patented in England are found
to have been utilized in central stations
there, while they have been neglected
in the land of their inception. -Provi-

THROUGH OTHER EYES,
Life at Harvard College From the English
Point of View.

The student life Of America is emf
nently an American institution. It has
grown up in an odd compound Of native
manners and foreign influences, which
form an essentially new product. It is
good deal more complex in it's organiza-
tion than anything known Oh the Isis or
the Cam. There is more details in it,
and consequently less breadth of effect.
The university organizations are in
Vulnerable. Men are banded together in
college clubs for every conceivable pur-
pose Of study or amusement Their bond
Of union may be their attempt to talk
Greek with the accent of modern Attica,
or it may be only a passion for domi-
nos, but it has all the notes of institu-
ton in it's machinery Of committee,
president and secretaries. Great variety
Of life comes from the differences in for
tune among the students, but of late
years there has been a laudable attempt
on the part Of the university and college
authorities to introduce more uniform
simplicity. Plain living is the cry, and
with this secured it is believed the
thinking will take care of itself.
At Harvard some time ago Professor
Palmer tried to discover how far the liv-
ing had departed from the philosophic
standard by asking some hundreds of
students for return of their annual ex-
penditure: The answers showed that
Harvard at least had nothing to be
ashamed Of. Many Of the students, less
than a fourth, spent less than e130 a
year; some less than e1OO The average
probably did not amount to the 5000 a
year which the professor regards as an
entirely adequate al 2wance for both
ease and refinement. Yale is less costly
than Harvard, so these institutions at
least are not open to the reproach that
they have introduced the millionaire in
to American university lite-London

OFFICIAL WHIPPING.
How Boy Criminals Are Punished BY
Thrashing In England

lnI8snlnS IN england.
Boys who are found guilty Of minor
ofenses in England are sentenced by the
judges to sound thrashing at the hands
Of the policeman. Here is description
Of it taken from an English paper:
The birch is a very different instru-
ment Of torture from the cat. The for.
mer is made up of a number of long
birch twigs, while the latter is really
whip with nine knotted small cord
lashes When the cat is administered,
the prison doctor must be present, but
when the birch is put on it is only nee
essary for the inspector or superintend-
ent Of police to witness it, although the
parents Or near relatives of boy SEN
fenced to be logged may be present at
the castigation. When dose of the cat
is dealt out, none but those connected
with the prison are allowed to be there
Like the cat the birch may be made
very severe punishment or compare
lively trivial affair, not merely accord
ing to the number of strokes, but from
the instructions given the constable who
is told off to do the dogging. I have
seen boy after six strokes resemble
pothing so much as a piece of raw beef
and bleeding fearfully, while I have
also seen boy after six strokes merely
trife red.
Some policemen dread the duty of
fogging, and after the first two strokes
get sharp order to chit the boy and
not play with hir1" Other constables
delight in the WORK and boast of their
ability to draw blood at the first stroke.
Various modes Of administering the
punishment obtain in different parts of
the country. In some places boys are
placed face downward on form. One
constable holds his arms aud head firm
ly, while another does him the same
service with his legs, and the third ad-
ministers the punishment.
In other prisons the culprit is placed
on constable's back, and as he sits
there with his arms around the officers
neck, awaiting the event." his attitude
strikes a spectator more as one Of affec-
ton than discomfort. Another way is to
compel boy to lean over chair as if
he were praying, then run strap right
around his legs and the legs Of the chair,
a constable holding his head and arms
from the other ode. -Brooklyn Eagle

Escaped That Penalty.

The proceedings of the summer school
at Harvard afford a certain amount of
amusement even to the professors and
instructors. 1t is said that the sessions
have attracted some very independent
as well as gifted young women from a
distance. Lately one of the instructors
informed his class, chiefly composed Of
women, that daily theme would be
required to give facility in compost
ton. This seemed to surprise one Of the
young ladies, who went to the instructor
after the session was over, in the pres
ence of others, and said archly and
coquettishly, And what will you do
to us if we do not prepare any theme?"
"We do not" the professor answered
gravely, "employ any form Of corporal
punishment. ''-Boston Transcript.

THE TRIPLE CALL DOWN.
How Bored Irishman SiIenced Crowd
of Self Admitted Genials,

How Bored IrshmaD SiIenced Crowd
of Self Admitted Genials.
There were fer Of them, as genial,
good natured, whole souled retailers of
old wives tales as ever got together i'll
the smoking compartment of a sleeping
Car. They had all fed we'll in the diner
and settled down with the anticipation
of enjoying long evening of yarn
swapping They spread themselves over
as many of the seats of the smoker as
they could cover and crowded into a
corner large round faced, jolly look
ing Irishman, who was enjoying his
after dinner cigar. Somehow he WASH t
amused by the stories. The narrators
spread themselves, but they couldn t
feaze him, and the bored expression On
his face grew in intensity as the stories
Once in awhile there was CLEAN of
humor, but for the most part they were
just commonplace or vulgar. But they
seemed irresistibly humorous to the
four, who pelted their thighs and
wheezed and chorttled and roared as
each in turn finished his yarn.
At last the big Irishman could endure
it no longer, and he broke in:
THAT reminds me Of the farmer who
caught three boys stealing apples in his
orchard. "
The original four turned toward him
with look of expectant triumph, ready
to yell at the first sign Of conclusion.
He chased them, went on the Irish
man, land they all ran up a tree.
Come down, said the farmer, but they
wouldn't.
"Will ye come down for once?'
asked the farmer.
1--WE will not answered the boys.
"'Will We come down for twice?'
1--WE will not.
"'Will We come down for three
times?'
$50 they all came down. -
And with that the big Irishman wink
ed at the only other man in the COM
partment who was not of the story tell
ing crowd. The yarn spinners laughed
uproariOu for a second or two and
then light went up, as the Germans
say, and they stopped suddenly They
looked at one another for minute,
searching for the point, and then one
said, with a yawn and a stretch: well,
Iguess it's bedtime. Good night. " And
the party broke up, wondering New

During a visit to Montana a promi-

party just starting for a grand "hunt

"You cannot hunt in Yellowstone
park. " ''Oh, no." said the leader. "We
go outside the limits of the park, and if

Treacle.

The word treacle has undergone an
odd modification. At first it was applied
to such decoctions of roots or other sub
stances as were deemed beneficial in
medical practice. Then, as these were
frequently sweetened, it came to mean
any sweet concoction or confection, and
lastly, as molasses was the sweetest of
all, this name was exclusively applied
to sirup.
