The frogs skin is so important as q
breathing apparatus that the creature
would die at once of suffocation If the
pores were closed by coat of sticky
varnish, by dust or in any other way.
While we are speaking of his breathing
you will notice that his sides do not
heave as ours do at each breath we
take. A frog has no ribs and cannot
inhale and eXhale as we do. but is
obliged to swallow his air in gulps, and
if you will watch this little fellows
throat you will see it continually NOV
ing in and out as one gulp follows an
other. In order to swallow, his mouth
must be closed. Just try to swallow
with your mouth wide open and you
will see what l mean. A frog, then, al
ways breathes through his nose, and If
you held his mouth open he would suf-
focate as surely as though you gave his
skin a coat of varnish.--Wo Home

Wonders In Nature,

A thousand wonders in nature are
lost to the human eye and only reveal
ed to us through the microscope. Think
of dividing a spiders web into thou
sand strands or counting the arteries
and nerves in the wing of a gossamer
moth! Yet by the powerful lens of
microscope it's found there are more
than 1000 muscles in caterpillar.
The eye of drone contains $4,000 mir
rors, and the body Of every spider is
furnished with four little Jumps pierced
with tiny holes, from each of which is
sues a single thread, and when thou
sand Of these from each lump are join
ed together they form the single line
Of which the spider spins its web and
which we call a spiders thread. Spi-
ders have been seen as small as grain
OF sand, and these spin thread so fine
that 1t takes 1900 of them put together
to equal In size single human hair.

The principal Palace of Waters Is an
immense hall which stretches in mys-
teriOus grandeur far beneath the city
of Constantinople. It's roof is formed
of wide spanned arches supported on
massive marble columns. These stand
some ten feet apart, and their capitals
are deliberately wrought.
This marvellous building springs
from an expanse of waters which I'M
derlies the foundations of the city for
miles. Its origin and extent have been
shrouded in mystery ever since its dis
covery about seventy years ago, when
some of the arches gave way. All at
tempts to explore by boat this marvel
of construction have been either fatal
or fruitless.
Another palace of waters was the
stately Palace of Ice witch was built
in 1879 at the command Of Anne, en-
press of Russia, to honor the nuptials
Of the Prince Gallitzin and a simple
peasant girl. In this novel palace
bride and bridegroom were housed, in
rooms of which the walls and furni-
ture and bed were constructed wholly
Of frozen water.

The King Lacked Nerve.

Baroness BOnde wrote in her diary
the following account Of the abdicati0n
of Louis Philippe of France on the
day of that remarkable occurrence:
"An aid-de-camp of the minister of
war, who was in the kings cabinet
when he abdicated, gave me a detailed
account OF this most signal piece of
cowardice. He had reviewed the troops
in the carrousel on horseback, highly
rOuged, when a cry was raised, 'VOici
les Faubourgsv No one had any or
ders; no one gave any. The mob rush
ed forward. shouting, 'Vive la garde
nationales! Vivent les troupesv and
shook hands with the outposts. The
king retreated precipitately with his
sons. and sublieutenant of the ma
tional guard rushed into the palace ask
ing to see him. He was admitted and
in the greatest agitation said, Your
majesty must abdicate.' Very WELL
says tie king In favor of my grand
son. No, unconditionally,' says the
young and self elected mouthpiece of
public opinion Would you believe it?
Of all who were congregated round the
royal person Piscatory alone said: Go
down and head your troops. Fight for
your crown and your dynasty He
was overruled, and they all marched
out of the palace except the Duchesse
dOrleans. her children and the Due
de Nemours''

RedOuius and Water.

It is not unusual to hear Bedouin
upon reaching a camp where water is
offered him refuse it with the re-
mark, 81 drank only yesterday" On
the Bedouins' long marches across dry
countries the size of the water skins is
nicely calculated to just outlast the
journey, and they rarely allow them
selves to break the habit of abstemi-
BUSINESS, as this would be sure to make
their next water fast all the harder.
They are accustomed from infancy to
regard water as a most precious COM
modify and use it with religious econ
omy. They know every hollow and
nook in the mountains where water
may be found. Their camels and goats,
which they take with them on their
marches to supply them with milk
and meat live principally on the
scanty heritage and foliage Of the
thorny mimosa. Neither men nor ami
mails drink more than once in forty
eight hours. No wonder they can sub
sist where invaders quickly perish.

He Burned Lots of Wood.

A veracious chronicler Of the times
of Jonathan Edwards gives figures
which prove liberal consumption of
fuel in the household of the great theo-
Logan. In the winter of 1904 the
town of Northampton supplied the Ed
wards parsonage with seventy-fye
loads of wood In the next season
eighty-two loads were delivered. For
the succeeding winter the total was
seventy-eight, and year afterward the
astonishing quantity of ninety-five
loads was supplied. There was no lack
of fire at the Edwards hearth. Is 1t
wonderful, then, that he preached
burning sermons?

The capacity Of rats for discovering

Desert Gems.

In 1889 a hunter in the northwest Of
New South Wales wounded a kanga-
roo. The animal went off through the
mulga and the salt bush at pace too
fast for the hunter to follow and was
soon out Of sight. The hunter was a
bushman and did not despair. He fol
lowed the blood trail, hopeful Of a
short search and speedy bag. At one
point Of the pursuit it may be that the
trail grew faint and necessitated q
closer inspection. Anyway the hunter
stopped and picked up piece Of stone.
This he examined. The red spot was
not on it 1t was in it. 1t was not
blood that he saw; 1t was opal. Such
was the beginning Of the White Cliffs
opal fields.
