Township Invaded by FROGS.

Bairnsdale, an Australian township,
about 60 miles from Melbourne, has
recently experienced strange and by
no means pleasant visitation. An
army of frogs, numbering thousands,
swarmed into the town, probably from
a neighboring morass. They covered
the roads in all directions, and the
traffic slaughtered them wholesale.
They even got into the houses, where
the dogs and cats killed them by the
dozen, while thousands in many in
stances had to be swept out, dead and
alive, with brooms and shoveled into
buckets. The episode caused some
what of scare in the minds of the
superstitious, and some of the old folk
declared the end of the world was at
hand The invasion, however, finally
passed on to some more congenial
home, to sing its chorus of 'Brek-kek-
kek-kek-koax," which Aristophanes put
into their mouths.-Montreal Herald.

Wedding Ring in Fish's Stomach.

While fishing in the river opposite
Red Bluff, Willis Brown caught pike
weighing over four pounds. The
young fisherman, being anxious to
make a meal of his catch, proceeded
to dress it. While removing the en-
trails he noticed something hard in
the fish's stomach and on opening it
found fine gold wedding ring. 1t is
a plain band, and on the inside sur
face are plainly engraved "a. G. to
M. B."
The supposition is that the ring
was lost by some person while bath
ing in the river. A ring similar to
the one found in the fish was lost in
the river near Corning, 20 miles down
the stream from here, over year ago.

one of it's kind in existence. The
birds-300 in number-are all in sep

rows on both sides of the altar. The
leader is girl, who has had the birds
under her own personal training for
over two years. The whole of the
musical part of the service is most
exquisitely rendered by them. The
leader starts each hymn by whistling
the first few notes, and then the birds
take it up, in obedience to the move
ment of their instructors hand.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29-The short ses-
sion of the stock market today was in
cIined to be feverish and prices fluctu-
ated constantly. Later strength was not
sustained and the market closed easy at
a general reaction.
The opening declines were due to heavy
sales to realize on the late bulge ayes-
terday and also to some doubts aroused
by the lack of official confirmation of the
conclusion of the ore land deal between
the Great Northern and the United States
Steel corporation. The stocks concerned
in that matter rallied strongly, owing
to the authoritative character OF the un-
official information on the subject. They
ran off again in the late dealings, how
ever, and contributed much to the ir-
regular closing.
A gain of nearly $2OO00OO in cash re-
serves disclosed by the bank statement
caused a vigorous movement upwards,
led by Reading and some of the btu
minous coal carriers and southwesterns.
The Bank of England surrendered $4,-
$50, 900 of its supply of gold today, of
which $l550,0O0 was for New York. This
heavy drain adds to the probability OF
more effective measures of protection be-
ing adopted next.
Total sales of bonds, par value, sS54,0OO.
