FROG RAISING INDUSTRY.
70 Re Encouraged by Pennsylvarss
Fishing Commission.

TO BE Encouraged by eennsvivanta
Fishing Commission.
Frogs" said the marketman. Il
could sell thousand of them this
minute if I had them. While the
clubs and big hotels are crying for
them we can't get bakers dozen In
a week."
Recognizing the growing demand
for frogs as an article Of epicurean
diet, the Fishing Commission OF the
State of Pennsylvania has decided TO
encourage the raising OF tadpo:es to
farmers and others who are in posi- 4
ticn to take up frog raising as an IN
dustry. Heretofore there has bes0
little systematic attempt to supply
the market with frogs. In vacation
days bands Of boys have hunted the
marshlands in search Of the croakers,
knowing tkat they were sure Or
little pocket money for the trouble
of taking a basketful OF bulls 20
market. g
The method of catching the frogs
has been to fish for them with a hook
and line, the, bait being a piece OF
red flannel. The game will jump Tor
this delusive temptation and find 1T
self caught on the hook. Another way
the boys have of obtaining a supply
of frogs for the market Is to shoot
them with small shot from an air
rife. The regular fishermen. those
who exc out living by catching
frogs when fish are. scarce, and who
ply their trade IN tie swamplands OF
Jersey and elsewhere, depend on g.
net and the quickness Of their hand
to capture the elusive quarry.
!. With only these irregular sources
OF supply the marketman have been
unable to furnish their customers
with a steady quantity Of frogs, and
at times the caterers have been COM
pelisd to withdraw the item from
tseir menus, The law governing sup
ely and demand has put the price OK
frogs in these times to figure that
makes it actually profitable to raise
them for market purposes, aad the
State of Pennsylvania intends to az:
sist all who wish to take up the tn.s
dustry by supplying the nucleus Tor:
froggery.
Epicures say that fried frog IS 4
dainty fit for king. Some eat only
the legs. In the markets, however,
frogs are exhibited. in their entirety,
minus the skin. ut is said that all
parts of the frog are edible, but some
limit their desires to the hind legs
!: The appearance Of the frog, both be-
fore and after he has been prepared
for sale in the market, Is not appe:
tizing, but those VINO are able to close
their eyes to this drawback say that.

Activity Resumed Both at
Port Arthur and Mukden.
GREAT GUNS BOOMING
General Assault is Begun on Great
Fortress and Blows are Being
Struck at Forces Of Gener-
al Kuropatkin.

According to Russian reports the
army of Field Marshal Oyama ccn-
fronting the Russian: forces in the vi
cinity of the Shakhe river has been re-
: inforced by from 10000 to $4,000 men
from Port Arthur and Japan. Earlier
reports have indicated that General
kuropatkin has received nearly equal
accessons, although Mondays dis.
patches from Mukden intimate the
contrary and convey the impression
that the present moment finds the
Russians not fully prepared to meet a
Japanese advance that may begin at
any hour. A Russian advance seems
to be regarded as questionable, owing
to the fact that the period since the
close Of the battle Of Shakhe river has
been devoted by the Japanese to 4
strenuous prosecution OF the work Of
entrenching. Fhe contending armies
are within close touch, and any out
post brush or reconnaissance may
bring. on q general engagement. There
is much cannonading Of: positions on
both sides, PoutIoff Uone Tree) hill
being marked storm center.
A Mukden special says: From an
early hour Monday morning there has
been a. heavy bombardment Of Pouti-
loft Clone Tree hilD by the Japanese.
Large masses of Japanese were mo-
ing eastward during October 20 and
&C..
The Japanese have occupied 4
rocky promontory south Of Sindianpu
and also the hills southeast of Kou-
tiatze. The positions along their
line are strongly fortified with re-
doubts, wire entanglements, ditchcs
and pitfalls, and also mines in scnle
places. The Notifications are arrans-
ed in double tiers. The positions. es-
pecially on the plain, are exceedingly
well masked. On Saturday, through
telescopes, the Russians observed a
movement of the Japanese eastward,
and, judging by the dust. it must have
been q heavy force.
At Port Arthur.
A Che Foo dispatch is as. follows:
The general assault on Port Arthur,
which began in preliminary way Oc-
tober "a, developed into fiercely rag
ing battle Sunday when, according to
a hitherto infallible authority, the jap
anese flung heavy forces against he
fortress in their third attempt to Sc
cure a commanding position.
The Japanese have been preparing
for this assault for month. It is be-
lieyed that the Japanese did not ex-
pect to capture the town on this occa-
sion, but to accomplish another for
ward step. This plan was adopted
following the first assault, when thou
sands Of lives were sacrificed in an at.
tempt to swarm over the fortifica-
tions, by a mere force Of numbers, re-
gardless Of loss.

oay bright spot in the Ordway team was
the good work of Burlingame, who had ten
chances in fielding. every one of which he
accepted cleanly. Altogether the exhibition
on the part Of Kismet was one of excellent
base-running and fielding. Buckingham

hits.
The Kismets play the team from the
Primrose Athletic Club on Thursday at o::'o

Saturday Manager Hogan takes his team
to Baltimore to play the Sparrows Point

lected a large crowd Of rooters from the
Navy Yard to accompany the team on its

by the fact that four of its players have
