EDIBLE FROG INDUSTRY.
Its Value Recognized by the United
States Fish Commission.

1IS ta1ue Recognized Dy the united
States Fish Commission.
Washington Letter in New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.
Frogs: Their Use as Food and Their Arti-
fetal Propagation" will be one of the ques-
tions discussed at the national fishery con-
greSs TO be held in Tampa, tla next jan
uary. Frog culture is new thing scien-
tifically. The head fish culturist of the
United States Fish Commission said this
week that the frog is little understood in
this country; there never has been a paper
of real scientific value written upon him.
Just now the commission has in press a pa
per entitled, Notes on the Edible Frogs of
the United States and Their Artificial
Propagation.
Some people believe that only the legs
of the frog are good to eat. The reason
why frogs legs are usually served instead
of the whole body of the frog is because the
meat on the body is OF such small quantity
that it would not pay to pick the bones.
In some localities the entire body is fried
with eggs and crumbs. In early days many
people were afraid of frogs, partly on &C
count of their unprepossesslng appearance
and partly on account of the fact that
witches were supposed to use them in work
ing SPELLS For many years frogs were
appreciated by the Romans. From Frarce
the custom spread into Germany, then into
England and other parts OF europe. ana,
last of ALL into the United States: But this
country has passed France as frog -eatlng
nation. In 1889 the Revue des Sciences
Naturelles Appliques calculated that the
frogs as did France. The United States
Fish Commission calculates that the pres
ent catch of frogs in the United States is
about million, which brings to the frog
catchers a revenue of about $4,000, and the
cost of which to the consumers is about
three times that amount. The States at
present supplying the largest number Of
frogs to the markets are California, Mis-
souri,, New York, Arkansas Maryland, Vir-
ginia, Ohio and Indiana. Frogs are i'm
ported into this country from Canada.
The commissions pamphlet devotes a
chapter to the art of catching frogs. The
sporting way is to bait a hook with red
cloth and fish for them. Where commercial
frog hunting is carried on, however, spears
and guns are used. Tie common way in
such localities is to shoot them at night
using a bright fashlight After the frogs
enter their Information they are dug out
of the mud by hunters, and sometimes a
busheI of them may be found in one cavity
The commission is of the opinion that
some restriction should be placed on frog
hunting as they are already beginning to
disappear from places where they are
hunted extensively. This decrease is very
marked in Lake Erie and northern New
York and in those places some people are
seriously contemplating engaging in the
culture of frogs in order to have supply
for the market In view of this the Fish
Commission has. published some suggestions
for frog culture

of his naturalness last evening he lifted
two or three dangerously farcical scenes
