QUEER THINGS ABOUT FROGS

A remarkable thing about these
creatures is that the larger part Of the
breathing is done through the skin. in
fact, it is said that this supply of air
is a necessary addition to that taken
in by ordinary breathing, as the latter
does not supply sufficient air to sup
port life in a frog. Another peculiar
thing about the skin Of q frog IS it's
powerful absorption of water. This is
due, Of course, to the numberless min
ute pores with which their skin is pro
vided. 1t has been proved that a frog
can thus soak up half it's weight of
water in an hour. The skin of the
stomach is most active in this way,
and at the same time, most often in
contact with moisture, such as mud,
dewy grass, wet ground and leaves
afford. AS the skin perspires quite as
freely as it absorbs, it is easily seen
why contact with moisture is so neces,
sary. Besides the loss from evapora.
ton, there is the stopping Of the skin
breathing also, because the skin has to
be kept moist and soft to absorb fresh
air and give eff used air from toe SIS
tenn. The soaking Of water Is what
gives the frogs skin such a cold, clam
my and uncanny feeling when han
died, and it explains a strange thing.
Though a bullfrog were poked with a
red hot iron, it wouldno feel it enough
to move out Of its tracks, for the moist
ure on the skin forms q kind Of fLm or
vapor between it and the iron, which
it takes time to heat through; and so
the frog would not feel pain from the
heat. Yet, if hot water is dropped
upon him, he will instantly jump from
pain, as this heat at once strikes into
the skin.
A frog has another safeguard against
drying up, that is, a kind of interior
sack for storing water, Like the camel,
it thus keeps a supply which carries it
over mary a dry place, when it would
other wise lose all of its moisture and
die. The water ia as pure and tRsteless
as that of any spring. In Australia it
is said n species of frog prepares for
a drouth in a wonderful way. Some
times the traveller suffering from thirst
will come to a bush, and digging into
the ground a foot OF two, will tind a
clay ball. He cracks it open and out
jumps a frog. Stranger still, inside
the ball is found a good drink OF pure
water. And with this the man
uuenches his thirst ST.. Nichols.

when an awful tragedy occurred on one
of the most public thoroughfares The
whiplike crack Of n rife sounded on the

ger of death crashed through the brain
of human being, summoning his soul
to the Judgment bar of God without a

full blown and "ripened on the tree. "
The fatal bullet had been sent upon it's
deadly mission by hand that a few
hours before clasped his victims hand
in friendship. One now lies in the cold
embrace of death and occupies a mound
In the silent city ON the hill; the other

! 1t is not unusual at the proper season
Of the year for vessels to sight icebergs
while making the transatlantic passage.
especially if the vessels happen to be
taking northerly course, but it IS sell
dom that an iceberg grounds so that it
can be seen by those on shore This
was recently the case at st. Johns :, n
F., where an enormous iceberg, $50 feet
high and nearly quarter of mile
long, grounded off the south side en-
trance to the harbor, where it was, OF
course, seen by many thousands of spec
tators
Most icebergs are produced from gla-
ciers which move down from elevated
heights in the interior of some land in
the arctic regions. The glaciers move
slowly onward into the deep waters of
the sea, and from time to time frag
ments break away. forming icebergs.
Occasionally whole masses of ice break
Off at once, really forming floating
islands. Ice islands are also made by
the breaking up of the great fields of
ice of the arctic region In the Allan
tic ocean most of the icebergs come
from Greenland and Iceland, the great
est number being produced on the west
side Of Greenland. From Labrador the
ice is hoated with the current past
Newfoundland and keeping near the
great bank the warming influences of
the gulf stream cause it to disappear.
Usually the limit of travel of icebergs
Is 40 degrees north latitude, but in the
South Atlantic ocean they have been
found as near as 81 degrees south Iati-
tude
Nothing is more imposing than the
sight of one of these immense icebergs,
which might send the finest ocean steam
ship to the bottom in few moments.
The sun melts them unevenly, causing
rugged and picturesque peaks to jut into
the air, and in northern ATTITUDES,
where whole fields of iceburgs are seen,
they look like fairy castles. DR.. Kane
in his first cruise counted 2S0 icebergs
in sight at one time and most of these
Were $50 feet high 1t is, of course. a
well known fact that about one-eighth
or one-ninth of the berg projects above
water. AS might be imagined, the
iceberg containing as it does at its base
many pieces of rock carried down by
the glacier from some northern country,
scores tne bottom of the seas, acting
really like gigantic file.
