A Frog ON The Mi,uenma.t.

The American ship Iroquois came in
TO port late this afternoon. In her
cabin were the preserved bodies OF two
strange fish that were caught on the
voyage and a frog that came aboard
the vessel in mid-ocean. All these were
odd creatures. and Capt. Taylor had
them preserved to be presented to the
Academy of Sciences. The frog was
found by one of the sailors clinging 10
the miZzen topmast-backstay lanyard.
When the tar discovered the frog the
man was SO astonished that he nearly
lost his hold on the ratlines. He did
not dare TO touch the "batrachian. but
rapidly descended TO the deck and re-
ported his find TO the captain. The
mate went aloft and captured 1t. The
ship was then in latitude 1854 south
and longitude 10S:20 west. The officers
of the vessel say they have no idea
where the frog came from. unless IL
was scooped off a cloud by the mast.
They say il was not on the vessel when
she left port. 1t was just about the
time the frog was captured that the
strange fish was captured.-San Fran

smoke in the atmosphere OF large cities
will be dissipaicd by electricity. Al

Germany for an apparatus for smoke
prevention by means OF wires stretched
inside a nue or chimney. and rendered
lncandescent by an electric current.
This simple method will consume the
blacklist smoke. but at present Il ia
much too expensive for practical use.
Ordinarily each chimney would re-
