greatest city of the Western world.

the News is perfectly confident that it
would have been the beginning Of a
career Of tremendous success and
tremendous usefulness to the repub-
lie. ln the opinion of this paper he is
the greatest executive capacity NOV

The frogs capacity for enyeloping

was once shown by an incident which
occurred under the observation of one
OF my acquaintances. He had returned
from the country with lot of frogs,
large and small, which he had obtained
for one of the New York educational
institutions. I have forgotten how
many there were, but they numbered
over twenty, I am quite certain. These

two old 'mOssbacks," and they were

in doubt as to which would be the
"last survivor of the whole ships COM
pany," as he expressed it.
AS an insect catcher the frog is quite
expert, even such quick moving species
as the dragon fly often falling victims
TO its dexterity. Fishes are also often
captured, and good sized ones, too, a
lingering trout having been found in
the stomach of a frog which was not
more than six inches in Forest
and Stream.
