THE TIDY TADPOLE.

How This Cheerful Little Cannibal
Eats and Develops.
A wonderful spirit Of tidiness seems
to pervade the tadpole world. They
always eat whatever has become use
less-their own eggs. their superfiuous
companions. Even those who are only
weakly are cleared out CT the way and
the victims take 1t all as q matter of
course. 1 have disturbed a strong
member Of the community just as he
had begun to dine off the tail Of a
weaker brother, but the sufferer has
not troubled to escape-he simply wait
ed till the fratricide returned to COM
plete his deadly work.
For some time there is no grave
change in the tadpoles. They simply
grow and become SO far transparent
that their internal mechanism, which
consists Of one coil of intestines, Is
plainly visible. When, however, they
are about three months old a careful
observer cael distinguish a tiny foot
on either side Of the base Of the tail
These grow slowly, but seem unable
to move Independently until shortly
before the border land is passed which
leads to perfect froghood. The hind
legs have reached their full size before
the front ones appear, and, while the
feet grow slowly, the hands are ready
made and can be used at once. For
day or two they can be seen under the
skin before they venture forth. and
their possessor is very restless and ex-
cited. He rushes madly about, jost-
ling his comrades, and no doubt being
voted a bore: then a more vigorous eff
fort breaks the skin and the tiny hand
and arm appear
There seems some rule about the
order Of precedence here. as there Is
when the whiskers go, for last year my
tadpoles, almost without exception,
had their right hands some hours be-
fore the left, while on previous occa-
sions 1 have had an entirely left

HELD FOR MURDER
EMIL sTREUB IN PITTSFlELD JAIL

CircumstantiaI Evidence Points to Him
 as the Slayer of dis Son-SpeciaI
 Term of Court May be Held for His
 Trial-Publc Believes Him Guilty.
 Emil Streub of Housatonic was held, on circumstantial evidence, last week, at Great Harrington, for the mur- der of his 12-year-old son whose body was found in the woods near Housa- tonic on Sunday July 15.
 Briefly stated, the facts are as follows: Johnnie Streub disappeared from home on Monday July @, and for time it was thought he had run away. A search was instituted by the Streub family for the missing boy. The Streubs could not account for the boy leaving home. but people in Housatonio said that he had been often whipped by his father who had a quick temper and a somewhat cruel disposition.
 Joseph Roohau, boy who was play ing in the woods near Housatonic, on Sunday, July l5, stumbled over de- composed body which had been carefully covered by boughs. The Streubs iden- tified the body as that of their son Johnnie. Medical Examiner Beebe made an examination and concluded that the boys skull had been fractured by blow from some blunt instrument and that the boy had been dead since the Tuesday before. The police and state detectives accumulated circumstantial evidence that points strongly to Emil Streub as the slayer of his own son.
 The Pittsfield Journal says that Streut should not be obliged to wait until next January to hear his fate. If no bill is found against him then he should not be obliged 10 stay six months in jail. If bill is found against him then of course special sitting of the superior court would have to bs called. Most likely that would be held some time be. fore the first of January. Officers are at work getting evidence against Streub, but there is enough to hold him for the grand jury.
