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

Frog culture is a new thing, sclen'
tifically. The head fish cuturist of the
United States Fish Commission said
that the frog is little understood in
this country there never has been
paper of real scientific value written
upon him. Just now the Commission
has in press a paper entitled Notes
on the Edible Frogs of the United
States and Their Artificial Propaga-
ton"
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 account
Of their unprepossessing appearance,
and partly on account of the fact that
witches were supposed to use them in
working spells. For many years frOgs
were eaten only in France. Their val
lie as food was appreciated by the RO-
mans. From France the custom
spread into Germany, then into Eng
land and other parts of Europe, and,
last of all, into the United States But
this country has passed France as a
frog-eating nation. In 1889 the Re
vue des Sciences Naturalles Appli-
quees" calculated that the United
States consumed ten times as many
frogs as did France. The United States
Fish Commission calculates that the
present catch of frogs in the United
States is about Million which bring
TO the frog catchers a revenue of about
$50 600, and the cost of which to the
consumers is about three times that
amount. The States at present sup
plying the largest numbers of frogs to
the markets are California Missouri,
New York. Arkansas. Maryland, Viz
ginia Ohio and Indiana. Frogs are
imported into this country from Can
ada.
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. The common way in such To-
calities is to shoot them a night. using
a bright hashlight. After the frogs
enter their Information they are dug
ont Of the mud by hunters, and some
times a brshel of them may be found
In one cavity.
The commission is of the opinion
that some restriction should be placed
on frcG 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 u
hose places some people are seriously
contemplating engaging in the culture
Of frogs. i'm order to have supply ion
he market. In view of this. the Fish
Commission has published some sus-
gestions for frog culture.

SPLENDID MEMORIAL
THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS MONU-
MENT FOR GREATER NEW YORK.

Sculptor Dodge's Design Won the Prize
A Shaft One Hundred and Five Feet High
and surmounted by Statue of Peace
To Cost S25O,0OO.
After many months Of labor and
trip to the battlefield Of Gettysburg the
Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Com
mittee, of New York City, has finally
decided to select model No. submitted
by Stephen K. Dodge, a young archi-
tect. The details of the competition
were arranged by Bruce Price, Presi-
dent of the Municipal Art Society, who
was chosen last summer by the COM
mittee as consulting architect, and
seven competitors were invited to sub
NIT models. The sum of 5000 was al
lowed to each one for the work on his
design, which then became the prop
erty of the committee, and 1t was de-
cided that the successful competitor
should receive an additional bonus of
$500. When the models were complet-
ed, in the early part of September, they
were set up on the third floor of the
Arsenal, and no one was allowed to
see them except the members of the
committee, who were not informed as
to the makers Of the various designs.
Then the struggle began. Meeting
after meeting was held behind closed
doors, without definite result. The

composed of Mayor Strong, Comptrol-

Frank Confession

Wrung as is the American bosom. it
has still a chord which vibrates in SYM
pathy with the Washington Evening
Star and its lost correspondent at Ha-
vana The Star has been printing col
umn after column of the most amaz-
ing. and. if il may be believed, the most
exclusive news of the Maine massacre.
and now it makes formal announce
ment that for the last three days il has
had no correspondent at Havana at ali.
Mournfully we quote from the Star OF
yesterday:
There is genuine regret expressed by both ,hc
public and officials that the star has not
ceived q special dispatch about the Maine dis
aster from It's Cuban representative. Mr.. Charles
Pepper. The news and information contained in
his letters and dispatches from Cuba have been
regarded bs the officials of the administration,
Conrresslnen. wide-awake newspaper men and the
public a. the most authentic and reliable sent
from Cuba. His silence at this crisis only
he explained by his absence from Havana at the
time OF the disaster TO the Maine.

something not connected with the sub
ject in hand the celebrated editorial in
winch MI Jdiilts boiuuH brhntlt Ic-
pudiated and stopped his New York
Telegram as journal which had fooled
the public long enough. We are con-
strained to consider this frank confess
sion of the Washington Evening Star
the most entertaining and instructive
event in recent Journalism Looked at
from any and afl standpoints, it chal-
lenges the wonder and admiration of
the newspaper-reading world.
The Times, in common with all hu-
manitarians. hopes and believes that
Mr.. Charles Pepper Will eventually be
sfound. Whatever may be his fate. how
ever it is more than probable that the
Washington Evening Star is lost for
good.
