Mr.. CuMtN0'o 0poTLY FH0oos
rald osS Apiss, - 7Ssm IN rraaes -
Got Them iat . nAfUa1ns
A. r. Cunning. lawyer Of this citys
while spending his vacAtioa IN France
during the psst summer, bought three
froes for which he paid the high price
Of $eS each. Lest the publication Of that
fact encourage local dealers to imagine
that they may be able to work OF more
frogs on Mr.. Cunning at that fancy
price, IL IL we'll 10 explain that the frogs
he bought are not considered good to
eat, that they are SO small that good
meal of them would cost several hum
dred dollars, and that he is not passion
ately fond Of that sort of diet. These
frogs are simply good to look at. They
are only about 3h inches long, when
fully extended, and possibly fraction
over an inch high when sitting up to
take an interest in their surroundings,
or half that thickness when they fiat
ten themselves out on the glass Of their
aquarium home and stick there, for
hours at time, like gobs of green mud.
Their backs and sides are of q pretty
shade of green, which changes to the
exact tint of any foliage, lighter or
darker green, upon which they place
themselves. Their bellies are white,
their throats bright yellow, their eyes
shining black, and over each eye Is a
crescent of bright gold.
The variety of frogs to which they
belong has been found only in the fresh
water lagoons running into the Medi-
terranean, and even there they are not
abundant nor is their capture easy.
These were bought at Hyeres, near
Toulon. and were considered good
bargain at the price Mr.. Cunning paid.
There is considerable diversity of color
among these found, and their value de-
pends altogether upon their beauty.
Sometimes one is found darkly beauti-
fully blue, and it is worth $500, that
color being exceedingly rare.
They are very dainty little creatures.
Fresh pure water must be given to
them every day, and they will eat moth
ing but live winged insects from which
the stings have been extracted. Mr..
Cunning has been urged to try the ef-
iccO upon ouc VI giving 10 ~ nediuHy
bee in working order, but refuses to do
so, fearing that the experience might
shock too greatly the nervous system
Of his costly pets. They will not touch
insects with hard wing cases, such as
cockroaches, and high-favored ones
bedbugs, for instahce-are scorned by
them. And they do not know that
worms Of any kind are good for frogs.
When one Of the little creatures is put in
possession of huge night moth, bigger
than itself, It begins swallowing by the
head. and neatly folding in the broad
spreading wings by dainty manipulat-
Ing with its hands, gradually gets the
insect down. sometimes taking as much
as half an hour in the process.
Mr.. Cunning 10 now occupying his
leisure in educating his frogs. They
know him, perch fearlessly on his fin
gers, and have learned to jump over q
trapeze, climb rope, and do other
things that encourage him to hope for
bigh development Of their Abilities

WINDOWS OF CLOTH.
A Substitute for Glsss which Never Leaks
and VIII Not Break.

and VIII Not Break.
Windows of cloth instead of glass
sounds like an impossibility, and yet
it is a reality, and the employment OF
such substitute is an acknowledged
success. It is not ordinary cloth, but
such as is translucent, through which
light comes just as through glass. To
all intents and purposes this cloth win
dow is similar to the sheets of glass,
and lasts ever SO much longer, while
still having Just as good an appearance.
Now the remarkable feature Of this
new fabric is that it never leaks, does
not break and is nearly one-third
cheaper than glass. A large skylight
composed of the new substitute for
glass, which has been in constant use
long enough to show it's worth, remains
in perfect condition, not one cent hav-
ing been spent on it for repairs.
The material has many advantages
claimed for It. chief of which is that by
its employment in train sheds, freight
houses, large auditoriums and public
buildings having skylights Of large
area, the light weight of the material
permits of a simple, Inexpensive and
light form of skylight construction.
The joints are made water-tight by q
special method used with this material.
The translucent fabric consists Of a
transparent material spread over steel
wire cloth, with 12 meshes per inch.
which gives the panels flexible ana
elastic quality permitting its Adjust
ment to any shape that the roof struc-
ture may take, owing to the expansion
or contraction Of the framework. Tho
fabric is strong and is made in panels
1s by 80 inches in size, and can carry
9 weight Of over 400 pounds per square
foot.
1t might be naturally assumed that
the translucent qualities Of the fabric
would be much inferior TO that Of glass,
hut careful comparison has shown
that the amount Of light which It trans
mits equals that of the ribbed glass
one-quarter of an inch thick. Az It is
treated with special preparation. tho
fabric Ia impervious to cinders or even
TO- hot Goals dropped upon II, and will

warning.
Another argument IN its favor 4 that

PHOTOGRAPHIC FAD.
Used as Ornaments Of Menus and otAs

Used ~ Ornaments of Menus and Other
Souvenirs.
The camera is queen at present, and
the fad for photographs comes q close
second In the minds OF fashions vota-
ries. photographs are everywhere,
upon everything. From letter paper to
china, from book covers to door panels,
from gloves to garter clasps, the photo
graph is placed in every position whirh
ingenuity can devise. Tho latest In
this line Is the fad for menu, dinner,
luncheon and invitation cards, each
with tiny photograph Of the fair
hostess In the upper lefthand corner.
These pretty trifies cost from seven
dollars dozen upward, and they can
be used but once, Of course, but tkey
make charming souvenirs Of an occa-
sion, and as they are quite beyond the
reach of the woman of moderate cir
curnstances they are bound to be popu-
lar.
This is tho mode Of placing them
upon the cards or stationery: The
prettiest photograph which you have
is taken to the half-tone man, reduced
and made ready for printing. This
costs from $3.50 to 50, according to
personal taste and the quality of the
work. Only good, smooth, fine paper
can be used, and this adds to the cost.
The frat lot Of letter paper (five quires)
costs nearly Ave dollars. After that
the cost u increased by the cost OF
producip9 the ha1f-tona.

TO RAISE A DEBT.
A Leading COlored baptist Church In
Financial Difficulties.

Financial Difficulties.
The Metropolitan Colored Baptist Church,
of which Rev. Robert Johnson, d. D., is
pastor, is in considerable difficulty, arising
out of large debt on the church. About
four years ago the trustees Of the church
decided to tighten the burden. There was
then a first trust of $4,000 resting on the
property. but they were paying on this
trust interest at the rate Of per cent a
year. Accordingly, they borrowed 500, 600
from Philadelphia company, and they
claim that it was with the understanding
that they should pay only 5A per cent in
terest a year. They also claim that this
principal was to be reduced by combined
payments of principal and interest. For
this purpose they raised between $1,000 and
$1,000 in the four years ending in June last
Since that time they have defaulted in pay
ment, and now the trust company has ad-
vertised the property for sale. The church
people have temporarily succeeded in stop
ping the sale by an injunction, and in the
meantime they are trying to raise the
money in other ways. The church is To-
northwest, and the property is valued at
S65, 600. When the present difficulty is set
tied, which, it is thought, will be in very
short while, the trustees expect to appeal
to the local Baptists to assist them. Raj
lies are to be held frequently and in this
way it is expected that a considerable por-
ton Of the debt will be lifted. The church
was founded in 1853. and the present
church building was commenced in 1882 and
finished in 1885. DR.. johnson has been the
pastor for twenty-six years.

GRAND JURY LEAK.
The Body Completed by the Appoint
mcnt of Two New Jurors.

The Body Completed by the Appoint
mcnt of Two New Jurors.
Judge Cole this morning accepted George
E. Murray of 2132 K street and ]. W. Barse
CT Anacostia as grand jurors in the places
of George Deavis and George P. Blair, who
were discharged yesterday as the result of
an alleged leak ir the grand jury respect
ing the case Ct Wilbur W. Marmaduke, the
ticket broker charged with forging rail-
road tickets.
In administering the oath to the new
jurors Judge Cole made no allusion to the
discharge Of Deavis and Blair, but i'm
pressed upon them the Importance Of obey
ing tie oath administered to grand jurors,
especially as to keeping absolutely secret
all matters transpiring before the grand
Jury. The oath must be followed, said the
Judge not cnly literally, but also fully and
in perfect good faith. The new jurors SOL
emnly swore to keep their oath, and then
together " ;th their fellows, they proceeded
to the grand jury room. where the inter-
rupted work of the body was resumed
It was reported at the city hall today that
District Attorney Birney will continue his
Investigation in the matter Of the leak
which is said to have occurred in the case
Of Ma1maduke, in order to determine
whether it was a matter of mere indiscre-
tion on the rsrt of those responsible for
the leak or whether the grand Jury was
approached or tampered with by outside
parties. If any one is found to be guilty
of interference 1t Is the intention of Mr..
Birney to vigorously prosecute the offender
or offenders, and have them severely pun
isbed.
