MARINE ToADS cANNIBALS.
Sent from New York to Philadelphia

The muster roll of frogs in the
aquarium of the ZOO has been de-

phia Public Ledger. The cause has
been found. A cannibal frog two

tom of the mystery. They had
been living sumptuously.
One day two giant marine toads
from the West Indies went to
dwell in the aquarium. 1t was not
known at the time that they had
cannibalistic tendencies. They
came from the New York zoo, but
the donors must have forgotten to
warn the Philadelphia zoo officials
that the toads were fond of frog
diet. Their reception in the frog
colony was marked with GOODNESS.
Bullfrogs and piping frogs alike
eyed the newcomers with distrust.
They had ample cause, as was
later shown. One by one the
smaller frogs began to disappear.
Two small alligators first came I'M
der the ban of suspicion. They
were removed. That night two
more frogs vanished. A turtle was
next looked upon with distrust
and removed from the frog tank.
Still the small frogs continued to
disappear.
Recently one of the marine
toads was caught redhanded.
Keeper Bowers was looking in the
tank, when suddenly there was D
great commotion in the water.
The submarine ferns and grass
waved wildly. One toad, the
largest, was hunting, and a small
frog was swimming the race of
his life. He lost and the big fell
low seemed to smile as he gulped
the little fellow down. 1t will
probably be the last frog he will
eat for long time, unless he de-
cides to devour his mate. The ma
rlne toads are now in a separate
tank, spending their time looking
regretfully across the room at the
home they left.
Another rare toad arrived in
this city under peculiar circum-
stances, and the zoo is now its
home. 1t, too, is a West Indian.

L. j. Downs purchased a bunch

She thought the house was on fire.
Investigation disclosed the tree

Mine Prices for Prospects.

A'kkhAC H StssGS tOf kkOSPTItSs
The prospector is nothing if he
is not an optimist. Hope springs
eternal in his breast The future
beckons brightly to him. A failure
is soon forgotten and he hugs to
his bosom the thought that some
day fate, or luck, will be kind to
him, and that in his old age and
in bis declining years he will rest
in luxury from his arduous labors;
and that the past, with it's hard
ships and tolls, will fade from his
memory in his full enjoyment Of
wealth and opulence.
After years Of toll, perchance, he
finds what be believes he has been
looking for. It may be possessed
Of real intrinsic worth or it may be
practically worthless; but, hope be-
ing father to the thought, and a
vivid Imagination coming to his
assistancs, he is prone to over
value his find; and to compare it's
worth on the same basis with a
producing and paying mine, in the
development and operation of
which many thousands of dollars
have been expended. In dwelling
upon his possessions the prospect
grows, by degrees, until, from his
point Of view, it has gradually de-
veloped into dividend paying
mine--into bonanza, and this
without hardly a dollar having
been expended in it's exploitation.
The prospect is his, and because
it is his, it is of more value than is
the producing mine of his neigh
Dor, and he is firm in the belief
that, in case OF a sale, it will bring
him as much of the coin of the
realm as his neighDor might expect
for his we'll developed and paying
property, And, persistently cling
ing to this belief he holds on to his
property year after year, although
frequently offered goodly price
for an undeveloped claim, and in
the end is forced to abandon the
same because of inability to per-
form upon it the annual work re-
quired by the government, or he
leaves it as legacy to those who
are able to realize the difference
between a producing and paying
mine and an undeveloped prospect.
AS a matter of fact, this prospec-
tor has always been asking mine
price for mere prospect whose
actual value was problematical,
when he might have sold it doz-
en- times for a sum that would have
put him. upon easy street for sever
al years, or until he could have
found and disposed of another pros
pective bonanza.
1t is safe to assume that the rank
and file of prospectors overvalue
the discoveries they make, and un-
til they learn that they cannot ex-
pect to get $4,000 or 100000 for

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 21.-Though
there was an increase today both in
the number of yellow fever cases and
OF fatalities, hopefulness continued to
pervade the federal headquarters
touching the local situation. The Mon
day list is always larger. That is at
tributed to the fact that the work of
inspection is not so thorough on Sun
day and only the reports which come
from physicians are to be depended
upon.
Prisoners, court attaches and hangers
on at the second criminal court were
thrown into something Of a panic today
when a genuine case of yellow fever
was discovered in the dock. The man
was found i'll among number of pris-
oners. A screened ambulance imme-
diately carried the man TO the emer-
gency hospital. A flying squad was
sent for and the dock and court room
thoroughly disinfected. The patient
was an Italian who was arrested on
Saturday night and remained in prison
until today. The Jail will therefore also
be fumigated.
