One Of the most extraordinary thugs
about frog music is the fact that HE
frog keeps his mouth closed when / is
singing.
He can sing through his skin. He is
provided with a pair Of resonant cham
bers like drums, and he makes his music
by swapping his muscles against he dis
tended membranes Then he can breathe
through his skin aud supply all the
wind that is necessary without opening
his mouth.
A French scientist, after long listen
ing in the woods, has made out and re-
duoed to writing the song Of the frog,
or swamp music, as he calls it, and
has discovered that the frog repertory
is varied and extensive. Frogs can carry
on conversations at long distances and
can communicate to each other emotions
of fear or anger.
Their songs however, are all love
songs and are only INDUCED in when
there are female frogs about. It is then
that the frog distends his drums to their
utmost, throwing his head we'll back
and mis- legs far apart and raising his
voice, as it is called, to the very highest
pitch Of the musical scale. Pearson s

BattleshIp indiana Cheers Valiant
Mangrove and Furnishes Crew to
Take the Prize to Key West.

Key West, April 2I.--The light
house tender Mangrove pulled into
harbor Tuesday with the richest prize
of the war. The captive was the Pan
anna, big transatlantic liner, and an
auxiliary cruiser Of the Spanish navy
She had 20 passengers, including three
women, ana a crew of II. AS the
Panama carried two 12-pounders she
could easily have anninilated the lit
tie Mangrove. The Mangrove was
cruising along the Cuban coast in the
evening when she sighted the Panama
When the Panama came within range,
shot from the Mangroves 12-pounder
was sent across her bows. Another
shot followed without result. When
the third shot was fired, the Mangrove
was within 100 yards of the Panama.
Lieutenant Commander Everett shout
ed to the deck officer that If she did
not surrender he would sink her. The
Spaniard promptly came to. Ensign
Dayton boarded the prize. The battle
ship Indiana, which had seen the
capture, drew up to the Mangroye. CIV
ing her lusty cheer. The Indiana
put a prize crew aboard the captive.
Capt. Sampson ordered Everett to
convoy the prize to Key West. The
Panama is of about $500 tons burden.
The passengers were mainly Spanish
refugees fleeing from New York and
other points Of the United States to
Havana The Panama carried valu-
able cargo Of general merchandise.
She is the richest prize thus far taken.
This makes FIVE steamers captured in
addition to a number of small craft,
