Indians Not Keen Sighted.

II is a deeply rooted conviction, dat.
ing from our boyhood's reading OF
Fenimore Cooper, Mayne Reid, Gustav
Aimard, and other authors who famili.
arized us with the red man, that the
noble savage had keenness OF vision
such rs no pale.facs could ever
reach. And now comes DR.. Ranke OF
Munich, who has been submitting the
oversight of several Indian braves to
scientific examination, to upset this
theory. He comes to the conclusion
that the alleged keenness OF vision OF
the redskin is a sheer delusion. They
see no further aud no more distinctly
than does the average citizen Of Lon
don or Berlin. But they possess the
advantage OF having been trained from
infancy to observe with concentrated
attention the objects around them, and
to draw deductions rapidly from this
survey for the purposes OF war or the
chase. DIR. Ranke says that with
similar lifelong practice almost every
European could acquire the same
faculty. London Chronicle.

Big Bird-Eating Frogs.

A species Of bird-eatiug frogs IN.
tests the swamps around Susquehanna,
Penn. These huge croakefs have also
proved destructive to young chickens.
Recently farmer named Wainwright
Of Herriok had his attention called to
the bird.eating propensity Of this
species of frog by the cries Of a small
bird in nearby swamp. Thinking it
had been seized by q snake, he has
tened to the spot, and saw beautiful
red aud green bird in the mouth Of O
large, greenish frog. Only the birds
head was visible, and its cries becom-
ing fainter, the frog was killed apd
the bird released. It's feathers were
all wet and shiny, and for some days
it could be distinguished in the garden
by its ruflled plumage.
Since then others of the same spe-
cies of frog have, on several occasions,
been killed with young chickens half
swallowed, and once duckling was
rescued from the same fate.
The frogs make chuckling sound
80 nearly like that OF a hen calling her
chickens for food that whole broods
have been deceived and have rushed
toward the swamp, where they sup.
posed the hen to be. The frogs are
wary, and ii is difficult to find them
except by the squeaks Of distress
from their victims. New York Press

war before us, noble professional
nurses have come forward by hundreds,
and offered their services for Red
Cross work. They fully comprehend
the magnitude and Importance Of the
work that they will be called upon to
perform, and undertake it quite aware
that they are giving gratuitous SER

But what shall be said Of the I'M
professional women who, without
training or skill, offer themselves as
assistants TO the Red Cross? II would
seem folly to accept their services, and
yet the officers Of the society base
their opinion on the experience gained
In the Franco russian war, when the
princesses of Prussia and women Of all
degree offered their services to the
Red'Cross, and proved Of inestimable
assistance.
The trained nurses will have life

Not q Pleasant Nelghbor.

Before he turned his attention to
navigation by steam, Robert Fulton
invented marine torpedo, which he
endeavored to dispose Of to the Uni
ted States Government Succeeding In
interesting James Madison, then Sec
rotary of state, In the matter, he OBJ
tanned a small appropriation from the
Government for the purpose of con.
Quoting some public experiments. In
the summer OF 1906 he invited the high
dignitaries and q number Of proml.
nent citizens of New York to Cover
nor's Island to see the torpedoes ami
machinery with which his experiments
were to be made. While he was lee
turing on his blank torpedoes, which
were large, empty copper cylinders,
his numerous auditors crowded
around him. After while he turned
to copper case Of the same descrip
ton. which was placed under the gate
way Of Old Castle William, and TO
which was attached clockwork
lock.
Drawing out peg, Fulton set the
clock In motion, and then he said In
solemn tones to his attentive audience;
"Gentlenen, this Is a charged torpedo,
with which, precisely in Its present
state, I mean to blow up vessel; 1t
contains 40 pounds Of gunpowder, and
II were to suffer the clockwork to
run fifteen minutes, ] have no doubt
that II would blow this fertilization 10
atoms"
The circle Of humanity which had
closed around the inventor began 10
spread out and grow thinner, and be-
fore five Of the fifteen minutes had
passed there were but two or three
persons remaining under the gateway.
Some, indeed, lost no time In getting
at the greatest possible distance from
the torpedo, and they did not again
appear on the ground until they were
assured that the engine Of destruction
was safely lodged in the magazine,
whence II had been taken.
