One Way to Catch Frogs.

In looking over a book Of travels in
France, written more than 100 years
ago, l came across an interesting bit
about the way of catching frogs for
market. The author mentions tho
fact that frogs were sold by the hun.
dred in the markets, that they were
classed as fish and that only the hind
quarters were eaten. But to come to
the main point he says: "To catch the
frogs the fisherman puts one of them
In a glass vessel, which he dips into a
brook, on which the creature, finding It.
self In so strange a situation confined
in the midst Of water in a Transparent
machine, or, l may say, invisible pris-
on, begins to croak most m~elodiously,
and by his croaking makes multitudes
OF other frogs come to him on every
side, as If to rescue their companion,
when the frog fisher valiantly seizes
his prey."-London Chronicle.

Ancient Platinum.

The discovery Of platinum was ,o,,
thought to be quite modern. In the
first half Of the sixteenth century, ~
was noticed that gold ore from tho
Spanish mines in Darien SOMETIMES
included grains Of a white metal which
possessed the qualities of what .ro
called the noble metals, but there waro
no existing records to throw light unon
the matter. AS the Spaniards prohih.
tied its export, it was another hun.
dred years before the metal began n
find its way into Europe, and it wac
not till about 1850 that it's pronert,es
were really investigated. In 1901 n
Berthelot the famous French savant
made IN astonishing discovery in
Egypt. He was examining a metal
box, once the property Of an Egvptian
queen Of the seventh century r G
and In it he found a plate which At
first sight he took to be silver. hmt
afterward turned out to be made Of
an alloy Of gold and platinum. Doubt.
less the platinum came from the allu.
vial deposits of the upper Nile.

HADLEY ON EDUCATION.
Territorial Superintendent Entertain
ed Large Crowd n Presented
Some Splendid Thoughts.

The large crowd that attended the
toriaT Superintendent of Public In
struction, Monday evening, went
away delighted. They had heard a
good, logical address full of interest
ing points on a subject in which they
were all interested, education. and
had been entertained with good cho-
raj music rendered by young people
who were the children Of many of
those in the audience.
The meeting was presided over by
J. NJ. Reid, county superintendent OF
schools, and he introduced the speak
er by telling that he was the fore
most educator Of New Mexico, and
by referring in glowing terms to the
teachers of Roswell the work
they are doing.
The subject of Prof. Hadley's ad-
dress was Educational Conditions
in New Mexico and How to Better
Them" He expressed great satisfac-
ton and pleasure at what he had
seen of educational conditions In Cha
yes county. n then proceeded with
his address. Following are some of
the points contained in his remarks:
whilst it is perfectly legitimate
that local competition shall exist in
educational enterprise, all broad
minded citizens must recognize the
fact that they are directly interested
IN the development of education in
every part Of the Territory.

Mexico Is now in the formative state.
History shows that all existing civil
cations are the result of a fusion OF
several elements, and that of New
Mexico will be no exception. Hence
the need for intelligent direction and
education in this fusion.
THE progress of education in New
Mexico is limited to the past fifteen
years, and that progress a been
most remarkable, and, on the whole,
entirely satisfactory. During that
time, our higher institutions of learn
ing have been created and developed,
our common schools organized and
established. Those in the cities,
towns and villages are as good as
those found in the states, but the
country schools, owing to our sparse
population, are not oven what is
needed, and the problem for their
development Is a difficult one to
solve.
Our laws are such that the peo-
pie are alone responsible for the kind
Of schools we have. They can have
good schools on h same terms they
can have good c1othes-by being will
ing to pay for them. The laws give
them ample power.
Our poll tax law. our law for spe-
cial levies, etc, are ample and easily
enforced. If the people do not ave
sufficient school funds, they have no
body to blame but themselves.
The teacher is the most important
in having good schools. A
cheap, poor teacher a be had for a
corresponding price. But the great
commercial and mechanical demands
of the age are offering young men
