JAM AICA FROGS


Only Seven OF One Hundred and f1fty
Survive Sea Voyage.
The biological department of the
Johns Hopkins University has num-
Der of interesting specimens of zool-
ogy, some of which will be of value
in the higher research work of the
department this year, says the Balti-
more Sun. The summer vacation is
usually a time for collecting queer
creatures and plants for winter in
vestigatiOn, a students trip to ia
maica last summer being especially
productive of such raritieS. DR.. Law
renee Z. Giffin and Mr. w. G.. Cocker
left last June for Jamaica. Among
other things they collected $50 bull
frogs. They were unable to stand the
voyage to this country, and the seven
that survived are now at the univer-
sity in an emaciated condition. This
Jamaica product is not real bullfrog,
but toad. They were brought to
Jamaica from Barbados under the
impression that they would kill rats.
This was found to be a mistake, and
the toad remained and is now quite
common. They are of a dark brown
color, with body the size of a large
bullfrog, but with short legs like a
toad, and are not edible Like all
toads, they are not aquatic A hand
some feature of the Jamaica collection
is set OF fine tortoise shell turtles all
beautifully mounted. A crocodile skel-
eton was also procured, which will
prove an object study for the minor
classes in osteoloSy. The jamaica croc-
odile is more vicious than the Florida
variety, living on fish or an occasional
native who is unWary. II is also not
so sluggish as other varieties, and is
peculiar i'll having no sleeping time.

Religion in Politics.

Daniel stood on a most unpopular
platform. He stood firmly, though
the demagogues of the day Kissed at
him and tried to overthrow him. We
must carry our religion into our poll
ties. But there are a great many men
who are in favor of taking religion
into national politics. who do not see
the Importance CT taking it into city
politics, as though man were intelli-
gent about the welfare of his ne. gh-
borhoOd and had no concern about
his own home
My subject also impresses me with
the fact that lions cannot hurt a coed
man. No man ever got into worse
company than Daniel got into when
he was thrown into the den. What a
rare morsel that fair young man
would have been for the hungry mon
sters! If they had plunged at him
he could not have climbed into a
niche beyond the reach of their paw
or the snatch of their tooth. They
came. pleased, all around about him,
as hunteres' hounds at the well known
whistle come bounding to his feet.
You need not go to Numidia to get
many lions. You all have them after
you-the lion of financial distress, the
lion of sickness, the lion of persecu-
ton. You saw that lion of financial
panic putting his mouth down to the
earth, and he roared until all the
banks and all the insurance companies
quaked. With his nostril he scattered
the ashes on the domestic hearth. You
have had trial after trial, misfortune
after misfortune, lion after lion, and
yet they have never hurt you The
Persians used to think that spring
rain falling into sea shells would
turn into pearls, and | have to tell
you that the tears of sorrow turn into
precious gems when they drop into
Gods bottle. You need be afraid of
nothing, putting your trust in God
Even death. that monster lion, whose
den is the worlds sepulcher, and who
puts his paw down amid thousands of
millions of the dead. cannot alright
you. When in olden times a man was
to get the honors Of knighthood, he
was compelled to go fully armed the
night before among the tombs of the
dead, carrying a sort of spear, and
then when the day broke he would
