Will Protect American Interests Mt
SantO Domingo.
The Machias has been ordered from San
Juan to Santo Domingo. She left that
place few days ago to obtain coal at San
Juan, and it is deemed well to have naval
vessel on hand to protect American inter-
ests in case any trouble follows the at
tempt of the French naval commander at
Santo Domingo to enforce the settlement of
the pending French claim of 100000 1t is
not believed that there is any chance of
any conflict between the French and Amer
lean naval officers in the execution Of their
instructions, but apparently the United
States minister at Sauto Domingo believes
that in the interest of peace there should
be a larger naval force than one vessel
there during this exciting time. The news
that success has attended a popular sub
scription to raise the 100000 to pay the
claim. is also regarded as tending to avert
danger of the adoption of forcible measures
by the French warsh:p's commander.

Boer Army Intact,

London, June 6.-Until the situation
in the neighborhood of Pretoria is en-
lightened, the officials here, as well as
others, will find difficulty in prognosti-
eating Lord Roberts immediate pro-
gram. 1t appears evident that the Boer
commander in chief, General Botba.
with all his guns, withdrew in good or
der, probably making the Delagoa Bay
Railroad, with the view of joining
President Kruger. So the Transvaal
forces remain practically intact with
Presidents Kruger and Steyn and Gen.
eral Botha and Secretary of State Reitz
all safe and in position to continue
the direction Of affairs. The more
optimistic see In the fact that Presi-
dent Kruger's wife and General Botha s
wife were left at Pretoria an indication
that the President does not count on n
long resistance. In any case, 1t will
probably take Lord Roberts at least q
week to organize a campaign Of pur-
suit The military authorities antici-
pate that the next important news will
come from General Buffers direction.
Plenty of time has elapsed to complete
the turning movement at Laing's Mex.

dated May 81, announces the British

Red Badge of Courage" 1t is cast in
the form of romance and it detailed
study Of the development Of raw re-
cruit in our Civil War under the fire Of
the enemy. What made 1t noteworthy
was that Crane could have had no real

force and graphic realism not
surpassed by Tolstoi in his sketches Of

STOLEN TRADE SECRETS.
How the Mysteries Of Some Notable
Crafts Were Obtained by Enter
prlsing Competitors.

Few inventions are at present worked
secretly, as the patent laws now pro.
vide the protection which in olden
times was wanting. One hundred years
ago whatever a man discovered in the
arts or mechanics he concealed. Work.
men were put upon their oath never
to reveal the processes used by their
employers. Doors were kept closed,
artisans going out were searched, Wis
itors were vigorously excluded from
admission and false operations blinded
the workmen themselves. The mys.
teries of every craft were hedged III
by precautions which now appear to
be fanciful and silly.
But neither locks nor oaths availed
against the ingenuity of envious or in
quisitive rivals. One after another
trade secrets were revealed, until the
wise patent laws did away with all ne
cessity for secrecy. The secret of the
manufacture of citric acid was stolen
from an old chemist who had shop
near Temple Bar, in London, by a
chimney sweep, who dropped down the
flue and took good note of the process.
The secret of the manufacture of tin
ware, which was discovered in Holland
and kept secret for 50 years, was
stolen by James Sherman, q Cornish
miner.
The history of cast steel presents
curious instance of manufacturing
secret stealthily obtained under the
cloak of an appeal to philanthropy.
In 1850 a Sheffield matchmaker be-
came dissatisfied with the watch
springs in use, and after many exper-
iments succeeded in making cast steel.
In ITO he had large factory making
this steel. The process was wrapped
in secrecy by every means within reach
true and faithful men hired, the
work divided and subdivided, large
wages paid and stringent oaths admin
istered.
It did not answer. One midwinter
night a traveller knocked at the gate.
1t was bitterly cold, the snow fell fast
and the kind foreman gave the wan
derer shelter from the storm. He
sank upon the floor and soon appeared
to be asleep. But in reality he kept
his eyes open, saw. the whole process,
and when he departed in the morning
he carried with him the secret of max
ing cast steel.

PAPA FROG AND HIS FAMILY.

front of their tails. 1t is wonderful
device of nature that the female some
times deposits her eggs on the back of
the male, where they hatch out, and the
little tadpoles grow until they attain
a certain size. Such is, of course, not
the case with our common frogs, but
in these rare species, only lately found
by naturalists, is strange reversal of
what seems to be the usual law that the
mother takes care of the young. In
this species the eggs are not laid on the
back of the male, but on the ground,
and only after they are Matched do they
take up their position on papa's back.
And there they may ride, not for trot
upstairs or through the hall, as little
children do, but until they are big
enough to walk around and look for
their own food. It would hardly be an
exaggeration to call this kind of frog
the most paternal of animals.-Cincin-
natl mmercial-Tribune.

DEVOTED PAPA FROG.
tiers on His Back and Carries Them
Wherever He May Go.

Here is the picture of a male frog
with the little tadpoles living on it's
back. discovered lately by DR.. August
Brauer, of Marburg, Germany. For a
little fellow it has pretty long name,
but perhaps its paternal devotion has
earned it the Latin name, arthroleptis
seychellensis boettger. 1t has been no.
ticed before that in some species of
frogs living in Venezuela and the island
Of Trinidad the male bears the young
on its back, to which they hold by their
mouths. But this new species is the
first one on which so many as nine little
ones were discovered. and, besides, they
do not hold on by their mouths, but
scent to be stuck to the papa frogs back
and sides by some gummy substance,
which holds them in place until they
are large enough to care for them
selves. Like all tadpoles, these still
have the tails, which will soon drop off,
and if you look carefully you can see
the beginnings of their legs just in

THAT GOOD LITTLE BOY.

They say he's the best little boy in the
town,
He never does anything wrong;
Though he wears an old jacket that's faded
and brown,
They say that that he's never been known
to frown,
And he's good as the day is long.
And If am careless or tired of play,
And leave all my toys on the floor,
They make such a fuss. and they always
say
That my things had better be given away
To that good little boy next door,
He must be dreadfully good little boy
If he's like what I've heard them say.
He loves to bring in the cows at night,
And thinks it Is silly to play with kite,
And would rather study than play.
No matter how hard try to do right,
It's just no use any more;
For it's: "Oh don't. Teddy" from morn
ing till night,
And: Teddy. wish you were half as po-
lite
AS that good little boy next door,"
Why is it hate to go after the COWS.
And study at school all day?
Why is it always break my toys.
And can't get along without making noise
And why do like to play?
But If I'm not anxious to pick up the chips,
Or sleep on the garrett floor,
Or rock the baby on rainy days.
They always speak of the willing ways
or that good little boy next door.
I often watch for that good little boy
That hear so much about;
But never see his face at the door,
Or hear him talking, and then, what's
more.
He never seems to come out
But think If knew him quite well, you
see,
And coaxed him to tell me, or
Watched how he does it, it seems to me
That some day or other really might be
Like that good little boy next door.

WONDERFUL CREATURE.
Nature Has Given the Cha me- con the
Power to Change Its Form Almost
InstantaneOusly.

The chameleon has for ages been an
object of curiosity, not only on ac-
count of it's ability to change its color
at will, as one might suppose who had
read accounts which mentioned only
that one characteristic, but also on ac-
count of remarkab BILE power which adj
mits of the creature instantly chang
ing it's form. At times it takes upoE
itself almost the exact form of a
mouse; again, with back curved and
tail erect, it is the exact counterpart
of a miniature crouching lion, which no
doubt gave origin to its name. channel
leon, which clearly means ground
lion" By initiating its sides and flat
tening back and belly, it takes upon
itself the form of an ovate leaf. the
tail acting as the petiole, the white line
over the belly becoming the midrib.
When thus expanded it also has the
extraordinary power to sway itself over
so as to present an edge to the observ-
er, thus greatly adding to its means
of concealment. As is well known, the
least excitement, as in handling. will
cause change in the color. In its nor
NAL state it is of a light pea green.
When excited, the groundwork remains
the same. but transverse stripes about
30 in number appear on the body.
These stripes. which are of a very dark
green to begin with, soon change to
inky blackness. The prevailing idea
that the chameleon takes upon himself
the peculiar hues of whatever he is
placed upon is as curious and wide
spread as it is erroneous. Placed in
boxes lined with red or blue silk. they
retain their pea green color. with no
leaning toward the brighter hues of the
surroundings.-Brooklyn Eagle.
