Frog in His Stomach.

One man whose stomach, and not
bis throat, has been for several years
the habitation Of frog, is a curiosity
of Dock Watch Hollow, hamlet
nestled among the Watching Noun
tains, near Bound Brook, N. J.
Edward Blazier, farmer, has been
wasting away TOR some time. DR.. F.
A. Wild, of Bound Brook, recently
found symptoms leading to the belief
that there might be something Of a
parasitic nature connected with the
case. The Doctor urged an operation
which was performed last Thursday
when he removed from Blazier's stom-
ach a full-grown bullfrog more than
FIVE inches long.
It was killed during the operation
and was similar tc ordinary frogs, ex-
cept that an examination showed that
it had never had the use Of eyes, ow-
to its strange dwelling place. Mr..
Blazier now recalls that FIVE years ago
his wife was i'll. He had gone to the
spring for water, and while there took a
drink. When he returned to the house
he complained Of having swallowed
some foreign substance, although be
did not know what it was.
He is convinced that at that time
he swallowed a tadpole, which in
course Of events became frog, under
going the different changes within bis
stomach.

A prehistoric city is said to have
been unearthed on the Navjao Indian
reservation between Durango, Colo
and Farmington, n. NJ. The partic-
ulars of the discovery have been re-
ported to the land department Of the
Santa Fe system. A palace has been
found containing, it is said, about
1000 separate apartments, some Of
them in an excellent state Of preserva-
ton. Another palace cantained 100
separate apartments. In some of the
rooms inspected were found the finest
of wood and other relics. Specimens
have been sent to the Smithsonian In

The Dismal Swamp.

The Great Dismal Swamp is region
strange and interesting, wierd and SOL
itary. 1t occupies a billowy plain
some 40 miles in length, by % miles
in breadth, along the Atlantic sea-
board, extending from Suffolk, Va, in
a southerly direction, well into the
bounds of North Carolina.
It's deep shades, great stretches of
brake and its very solitude make it a
region of interest. To the naturalist
and sportsman it has much to offer.
In its silent Businesses the black bear
finds a home admirably adapted to
his protection and in every way favor
able to his increase. Here amid the
dense growth of underbrush and tim
Der he may live in comparative safety.
And there is perhaps no locality in
the whole Eastern United States Of
like extent which can offer a larger
bear population than this great mOrass.
The white-tailed deer is also an abun-
dant denizen of the swamp, frequent
ing the elevated parts.
In addition to the deer and bears
there is big game feature of rather
unusual nature. The swamp abounds
in wild cows. These animals, Of
brown color and somewhat smaller
than the ordinary COW, having for
many years been under the peculiar
conditions of the swamp, until they
are almost completely specialized, are
extremely wild. They are feralized
from the herds Of the farms adjacent
to the swamp, and are the defendants
of cattle which many years back wan
dered into the Businesses and were
lost to their owners, finally becoming
wild Being no longer recognized as
property the sportsman may. call game
all that he may have the Prowess to
shoot.
Lake Drummond, some ten miles
from Suffolk, Va, is the only great
body of water in the swamp. 1t is a
beautiful sheet of water, Of an oval
contour, and fringed with a heavy
growth of timber, mostly cypress,
white cedar and black gum. It's
water is of a dark color, owing to the
decaying vegetation of the surround
ing country, but is suitable to drink
and possesses the quality of remaining
pure longer than most other water.
For this reason it is often carried to
sea by sailors on long voyages
The characteristic mammalian fauna
is of semi,tropical nature as regards
the smaller forms, while there are
many tropical plants. Of birds there
are not many kinds, prOthonotary,
hoode and Swainson's warbler and
the Maryland yellow-throat being the
principal smaller forms. The trees,
some of which are primeval, are large
and beautiful, while there is luxu-
rant growth eff ferns and aquatic
plants. Cane grows in profusion.

A Team Of AlIigators.

jefferson Lee, who lives on the st.
Johns river, in Putnam county, Flor
ida, has the most extraordinary team
in the country" say the Chicago Trib-
une. at is team of alligatOrs that
Mr.. Lee uses to tow his boat up and
down the river when he goes to mar
ket. Mr.. Lee has to go six miles down
the river to his postofice, and it is a
hard pull against the current coming
back. He noticed how swiftly alliga-
tors swan, and it occurred to him that
it might be a good thing to turn the
alhgators that abound in the st. John s
river to some account. He captured
pair of young gators and raised
them in his yard. He taught them to
swim and drag a weight behind them,
and he also taught them to turn either
to the right or left by pulling ropes
fastened 10 their teeth on either side.
When the alligators were big enough
he put harness that he had construct
ed on them and harnessed them to
his boat. They swan well and pulled
the boat through the water at good
speed. By pulling on the reins that
passed through the mouths of the ga
tors Mr.. Lee was able to turn his
strange water team in any direction
he pleased. Mr. Lee made point OF
never feeding his alligators until after
they returned from trip, when he
would Immediately reward each one
with fine meal. The alligators
seemed to be willing to perform their
task of pulling the boat, and when he
turns them out Of the pen in which
they are stabbed and starts them for
the water they shuttle down to the
boat in the liveliest style, and after
they are hitched they plunge into the
water with grunts of delight. Mr.,
Lee says his strange team has never
run away or kicked out the dashboard
of his river craft, but that they have
one fault, for which, however, he does
not blame them. They sometimes
sweep their powerful tails in a curve
through the water, and once smashed
one of his boats into small bits and
threw Mr.. Lee and party that he
was taking boat riding into the river
They would have all been drowned
had not the alligators swan back to
them and permitted the party to climb
on their backs, after which the alliga-
tors swan swiftly to the shore and all
of the party were saved. Nj. Lee
now hitchhes up his team 20 feet in
front of the boat, so that the sweep of
their tails will not endanger the craft.
