THE LATEST IN FROGS.
batrachian, Newly Discovered In
Africa, Is Equipped with Real
Fingers and Toes,

The strangest of all strange ami
mails recently found in Africa is at
tracing widespread attention from
naturalists just at present. 1t is a
gigantic frog, with remarkably HUI
man-like fingers and toes, and it be-
longs to the class technically known
as Batrachians.
This frogs man-like appendages do
not appear on any other animal of
this class, and the specimen whose
photograph is reproduced herewith
from the Chicago American is the
first to be captured.
Scientists are unable to account for
such unique and marked difference
over existing types, and it has been
accepted as an entirely new species,
hitherto unknown. The frog has lust
been received at the Museum of Nat
ural History, London, where it is be-
ing mounted The following details
of this extraordinary animal are out
lined by Mr.. G. p. Bates, who discov-
cred it.

But many millionaires become pau

up in the morning, and feel the blood
bounding through your veins like
mountain cataracts, and you think
you can turn the mill wheels of the
world.
You work day and night, or you
play day and night, which is some
times more eXhausting, and go at the
limit of your speed all the time. You
are overdrawing your bank account

because you are over-anxious. He
keeps cool, takes steady aim, and wings

TREATMENT OF HOVEN.
Proper Name of This Disease, Which
Is known on Most Grass Farms
Is Acute Tymphanitis.

This affection which is known by a
variety of terms, as hoove blown,
dew-blown, fog-sickness, grass-sick-
ness, etc, is familiar to most agri-
culturists, particularly on grass
farms. The principal cause of hoven
is fermenta ton of the food and the
consequent generation of gas in the
rumen or paunch. The food most
prone to undergo this fermentation
is rich, succulent grass or that be-
dewed with moisture. All animals
cat more or less greedily on being
turned into the pasture, but if it be
a fresh one, particularly young
clover, they rapidly, and with scarce
ly any mastication, gorge them
selves. The passage of atmospheric
air taken down in rapid and large
gulps, materially assists in the proc
ess of fermentation and adds to the
accumulation of gas. This unnat-
urally overloaded condition of the
