Frog.Eating in France.

The French have never been 1rvg.
eaters to the extent that is commonly
supposed. With them the taste for this
reptile is rather epicurean than popu.
lar. Myriads of frogs are, so to speak
wasted in the country because Of want
of zeal in catching them. In some of
the most ''froggy' parts of France at
night the croaking of the reptiles over
powers every other sound; but the crea
lures might live to a good old age and
their hind-legs grow as tough as string
for all the Inconvenience they are put
to by the human enemy. The taste fol
this food depends greatly upon the To-
cality; and even then frogs leg are a
dish for the gourmet rather than for
the workman or the peasant. The legs
are occasionally hawked about Paris
on skewers; but they are by no means
cheap. and they appeal to the person
whose cultivated and jaded appetite
needs tempting rather than to the hun
ory urOletary.

Some Strange Accidents.

There are many people in the world
who would not travel on railroad or
on steamboat through fear Of acct
dents. They never seem to realize that
an accident may eventually come to
those even who spend their days in an
armchair. There was once a Kansas
City man who, on getting out Of bed
one morning, sneezed violently, and loI
his left eye popped out of its socket
He put the optic back in its place, and
Immediately summoning surgeon,
was able to save the eye. An English
man, seized with a fit of coughing,
broke several of his ribs; and several
cases have been known in which peo-
pie have swallowed their own tongues,
thereby suffocating. 1t is difficult, if
not impossible, to say when one is en-
tirely out of danger OF some accident or
another.

The Lost Lake Agassiz.

Lake Agassiz was very large bouy
OF water in Manitoba, adjoining parts
or North Dakota and Minnesota. 1T
had north and south diameter of
some 100 miles-very much larger than
any OF the five great lakes Of the pres
ent time. Lake Agass:z was formed in
this way: The great ice sheet which
came down from the north was a Sc
ries Of great glaciers. For these there
We're three principal areas of distribu-
ton. The first was in Labrador, the
second in the highlands west of the st.
Lawrence river and south of Hudsons
bay, the third the mountain ranges of
British Columbia. These three great
Hoes Of ice reached their maximum ex-
tent at different times. The Kiwatti
glacier swept down over Manitoba into
the upper Mississippi valley into Mill
nesota, and probably down as far as
Iowa; then it commenced to retreat;
and While it was retreating. the great
Laurentian glacier from Labrador was
coming in from the east. There came
time when the Kiwatti glacier form
ed northern dam and the Laurentian
glacier an eastern dam, the two stand
Ing nearly at right angles: and in this
great dammed-up space was formed
Lake Agassiz. 1t rose until it could
overflow the barrier to the south, and
thus discharge into the Mississippi
river by means of river which has
now entirely disappeared, and was
known as the River Warren, after the
late General George K. Warren, who
first discovered it. This lake continued
until the glaciers up there, retreating,
one to the northward and the other
to the eastward, separated and left a
space between them. Then the drain
age way to Hudson's bay was opened
again, and the lake was very rapidly
drawn in that direction. We can find
perfectly well the old beach line and
the old drainage outlets by which this
drainage of Lake Agassiz was complet-
ed. The old terraces and beaches are
there to-day, and the level bottom of
the lake is clearly shown. The whole
history Of the lake has been made out
with perfect clearness and definite

HUMBLE ABODE OF I'll. BIGGEST DYNAMITE FACTORY

Its remoteness from everything was
the reason of the factory being located
there. A branch railroad runs into the
property connecting with the principal
railroads and the Delaware River. By
these means the commodity is shipped
through the country and to the sea-
ports.
The factory spreads over a mile of
swamp land and is nothing more than
three-score of wooden buildings, one
story in height and not very securely
built. For the most part they look for
all the world like the rundown negro
cabins of the South and are just about
as handsome. They have one modern
appliance, however, and that is an at
tachment for depriving lightning of its
powers.
None of these shanties is very close
to the other. Plenty of open space is
a necessity when tens Of thousands Of
pounds Of dynamite are always lying
around. Commercial prudence ac-
counts for the cheap and scattering
look of the factory. Experience has
building would be rash enterprise.
Explosions occur once in while, no
matter how carefully they are guarded
against, and it is an easy matter to
replace the shanty.
A more potent reason is the protec-
ton it affords to the work people.
Were all the business concentrated in
one building and an explosion occur in
any one department, the shock would
auseinstantaneousu upheavals through
out the building, killing or manning
every one in the place.
Several hundred people are employed
in the factory, including dozen wo-
men. Each and every one of them fully
realizes the danger of their calling,
and they exercise the greatest caution
in performing their work. There are
certain rules formulated by the COM
pany which they must obey, and this

they are only too glad to do. One is
that no matches, firearms or explosives
of any kind must be carried Oh the per-
son. Another is that no iron or steel
pegs can be worn in the shoes. Wooden
pegs are permissible, because they are
safe.
This latter rule was formulated some
years ago after one of the workmen
had stepped on tiny piece of dyna-
mite, the nails of his shoe causing it
to explode. The shock caused quite a
quantity of the stuff on one of the work
tables to go off, the shanty was blown
up and there were some fatalities
among the workmen.
There is no need Of employing special
men to see that the precautionary
rules are observed, as every workman
is spy upon his neighbors for he
knows that his safety depends quite as
much upon the others as upon him.

one thing that the dynamite worker is
thankful for, and that is that his job
will never be usurped by machinery.

chemical houses. They are called
safety buildings and are used for
the storage Of the many acids which
help to make dynamite what it is.

The First Americans,

That account Of the origin of the
name America which says that it was
derived from Amerigo Vespucci, Flor
entine merchant, who visited the newly
discovered continent several years af-
ter Columbus first voyage has been
disputed on the ground that, on his
fourth voyage, Columbus found a Gen.
tral American tribe Of natives bearing
the name Of "Ameriques," and that his
associates designated the country by
the name Of these Indians. On the
other hand the existence Of the Amer
iques has been doubted. Recently,
however the descendants Of the an
clent Ameriques have been found
dwelling in Honduras, and M. A. Pin
art French explorer, has studied
! their language and investigated their
relations to other native tribes. But, of
course, the discovery of the existence
4 of the Ameriques does not prove that
| the name of America was derived from
! them.

y White Red Squirrel,

DR.. Emily G.. Hunt, in St. Nicholas,
describes the following interesting pet:
Some girl cousins Of mine living in
New Jersey have an ODD net. 1t is a
white red squirrel.
You have all seen red SQUIRRELS
'chickarees' they call them, from the
sounds Of their chattering and scold-
ing, as they drop nutshells on your
head, or run down a tree-t1nunk by fits
and starts, giving u little "chick" with
each forward rush, while they watch
you sharply.
Our little pet is like one OF these in
every way, except that he is so snowy
white that the cleanest table-cloth
looks dingy compared to him.
He was born In a cranberry bog.
Some mem cutting brush there saw two
strange little animals, one white, the
other cream-colored. They caught this
white one by throwing a coat over
him, but the creamy squirrel ran away.
When the captive was brought home
all admired him greatly, for he was, as
you may imagine, a very beautiful lit
tie creature, with his long b,lshy tail
and bright woodland tricks.
But there is really one strange thing
about him: his eyes are not red or
pink, as are those of most white ami
mails, but they are as black as any
squirrels could be. So my girl cous-
ms call him Beads
When an animal belonging to spe-
cies commonly dark in color is born
white instead, it is called an "albino.''
You have all seen albino rabbits and
rats and mice. Their eyes are pink.
So that Beads is really nest un-
common fellow, a snowy squirrel with
jet-black eyes.
Albino or not, he is at any rate a
most winning little pet, and there is
no end to his pretty ways. AS a cat
and kitten live with the same fam
lily, he has to be kept in squirrel
cage; but he is let out long time each
day. Then Beads is quite happy. He

nibbles the hair of the person seated

equal in strength to good cast iron, but
superior to it in elasticity. On the 9TH

Fahrenheit, and can be liquefied in a
ladle over an open fire. In the liquid
form it fills mold running into all the
small parts, much better than brass,
hut is more brittle than brass. With it
small castings can be made without the
use of foundry furnace.

Australian liner. A shy Australian

He returned with great celerity, and
with as white a face as the Majors.

With the earliest dawn they sought

said. Its Capt Higginson all right;

oueer Things About Fishes.


Mr.. A. E. Verrill describes the ways
IN which fishes sleep. They are very
light sleepers, and freqeuntly assume
singular positions; but the most re-
markable thing is the change Of color
many of them undergo while asleep.
Usually their spots and stripes become
darker and more distinct when they
| fall asleep. Occasionally the pattern
! Of their coloration is entirely changed.
The ordinary porgy, for instance, pre-
sents in the daytime beautiful rides
cent hues playing over it's silvery sides,
but at night, on falling asleep, it takes
Oh a duh bronze tint, and six conspicu-
Gus black bands make their appearance
on lis sides. If it is suddenly awaken
ed by the turning up Of the gas in the
aquarium it Immediately resumes the
silyery color that it shows by daylight
Mr. Nerrill ascribes these changes to
the principle of protective coloration." !"
and points out that the appearance of
black bands. and the deepening of the
spots, serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid eel
grass and Sea-weedS.
