West Africa, and in the French Con-
go. This territory is wild and partly
explored. The river region teens
with alligators that are very fierce
and dangerous.
The new frog was discovered while
Mr.. Bates was on a canoe Journey
and was shot just as it was about to
plunge into the stream. On examina-
ton the frog proved to be a new and
unknown species. Besides the man
like fingers and arms, the frog pos
sesses another remarkable feature,
having a long bearded growth run
ming along the sides of its body. The
color of the animal is olive-brown
some parhs of the body being COW
cred with dark brown spots. A black
cross-bar runs between the ewes to
the center of the body. The head is
large, broader than it is long. and
much depressed.
The fingers are the main and all
absorbing feature. They vary in
length and are capped by a round
bony substance. The toes are half
webbed and are furnished with LARGE
tubercles. The skin and sides of the
body are smooth. A large, dark
stripe runs along the upper surface
of the thigh. In size the frog meas
ures over one foot in length. It was
capable. of leaping some ten feet or
more at a time. The huge Congo
frog, aside from being great curl
osity, is considered rare and valu-
able contribution to natural history.

F ACTS ABOU CANCER.
Paris Authority Declares That There
Has Been No Increase in Vic
tins of the Disease.

The impression has gained ground
among medical men that in England and
some parts of America cancer was in
creasing more rapidly than popula-
ton. DIR. Roswell Park, of Buffalo,
VINO has made a special study of the
subject, expressed the opinion a few
years ago that there was a percep-
tible, if not alarming, growth i'll the
mortality from this cause in New
York state. He did not speak for the
rest of this country or for Europe,
though.
In a recent number of prominent
medical weekly published in Paris,
Prof. r. de BOWS takes a somewhat
more hopeful view than other ex-
perts do. He is skeptical as to any
increase in frequency. He also de-
MES that cancer attacks more women
than men. When all ages are fully
considered, he thinks that the two
sexes are affected about equally. Still
another theory which he antagonizes
is that the percentage of mortality is
greater in cities than in the rural dis
tricts. He points out two important
sources of error in this matter. Sta
tistics are not collected so carefully
in the country as in the city, and many
cases which originate in the former
are sent to the city, where the victims
die. The deaths are then credited to
the wrong locality.
AS for the organs in which cancer
most often appears, he says that its
frequency in the lower eXtremities of
the intestinal canal remains about I'M
changed, while in the breast it is on
the decrease. Cancer of the mouth
and upper air passages seems to be
increasing slightly, while cancer of
the extremities has decreased. The
chief increase in the number of cases
appears to be due to the increase of
increase, shown in tables, is probably
more apparent than real. He states
emphatically that there has not been
a great deal of increase in this disease
in the last few years; nor does he be-
lieve that the theory advanced that
carcinoma attacks patients earlier in
life than heretofore is founded on fact.
The contrary opinion has been con-
clusively proven. The age of maxi
mum frequency of cancer appears to
be, in round numbers, 70 years for
males and rs years for females. He
reviews the influence of race, and
states that there seems to be a some
what less receptivity on the part of
the southern races than those of the
northern, but the exact measure of
this receptivity cannot be determined
yet.

They also claim that a human being
has 365 bones, which correspond to
the 365 days of the year; that a man

a mans skull is composed of eight

Moreover, they say that in every

To Test the OIeoLaw

At Cincinnati the oleo people have
begun efforts to have the cleo law
tested. They hope to have it declared
unconstitutional. A 4o-pound package
of oleomargarine, made contrary to
law, is the basis of the action, which is
by the general government to recover
fines under clause two of the act.
Whichever way the federal court de-
cides, the case will go to the United
States supreme court. Both the oleo
makers and the internal revenue au-
thorities are anxious to have the mat
tel Of constitutionality settled.

stomach soon induces suspension of
the peristaltic action of the organ,
and the digestive process being
checked active fermentation soon
follows.
Decomposed or frosted vegetables,
particularly mangolds, will also give
rise to hoven. Cattle badly fed dur
ing the winter, or taken from straw
or other dry food, frequently suffer
severely from the first meal of grass.
Tymphanitis is common during OBJ
structions of the gullet, or choking,
and disease or impaction of the third
stomach as well as affections of the
second stomach. Tymphanitis occurs
as a sign of other diseases and is apt
to appear as a chronic affection.
The symptoms are most distress
ing. The paunch is blown up like a
bladder and when struck with the
hand sounds like a drum. Probably
there are few diseases in which the
animal suffers more intense agony
than this. He gets up and lies down;
respiration is difficult, from the dis
tended stomach pressing against the
lungs; he evinces his pain by strik-
ing his belly with his feet; if no
relief is given the brain soon be-
comes affected, evidenced by the ami
NAL becoming unconscious; the
breathing becomes more difficult, and
the poor animal falls to rise no
more. This disease runs its course
very quickly, hence the necessity for
prompt and decided measures.
The first object will be to get rid
of the accumulated gas, and if the
paunch is very much distended and
the danger of death immediate, re-
course should be had to puncturing
that organ. This is to be done on
the left side, at the spot marked
in the accompanying picture. The
usual directions for finding the
proper place are to measure a hands
breath from the last rib. The proper
instrument for puncturing is what is
called a trocar, the canula or case
of which should be left in the wound
for some time so that the gas gen

or if he does, it may not be at hand
the instant it's use is required. In
this case a common pen-knife NAV
be used, which should be plunged
into the rumen and the orifice much
enlarged so as to admit the finger. A
small piece of elder wood will sup
ply the place of a canula. In slight
