CATCH BUSHEL OF BULLFROGS
Fishermen Find a New Way to Get
Hind Legs Priced by
Eplcures
Special to The Herald.

HYDEVILLE, VT, Oct 49, IT he
small boy who turns an honest penny
catching green-backed bullfrogs for the
city boarders at Lake Bomoseen has
lust learned a trick which will make
the dimes and dollars roll his way next
season If all the other boys and some
of the old fishermen, don't take the hint
and set out to ensnare bullfrogs for a
living
From the day some epicure discovered
that the hind legs of the croaking bull
frog were the greatest delicacies ever,
when fried in butter or broiled over the
dying embers of a camp fire, the fly
catchers have been taken by dangling
in front of their noses a fishhook bait
ed with a gaudy bit of red flannel. This
was slow work and consequently the
price of frogs legs was high enough
to make them favored by fashionable
folk
But now all this will be changed, for
three business men have found way
to catch frogs by the bushel, and have
turned over their secret to the small
boy. The men are Charles E. Metz
ger, senior member of the firm of
| Metzger Bros, Rutland, VT; George
| Bucklin, who owns a large grocery
store in Rutland and Edward Buck
lin, a Chicago merchant. All three are
enthusiastic fishermen, and 1t was be-
| cause of their love for this sport
that they happened to make the bull
| frog discovery
Mr.. Metzger has a cottage here on
| the east shore>of Lake Bomoseen and
when Edward Bucklin visited his broth
er few days ago the three men came
ovr to the cottage and spent the day
fishing from the Metzger launch. Sew
| eral pike and black bass We're taken,
| and during the evening fifty odd bull
heads were caught. 1t was while
catching the bullheads that Mr. Metz
ger, who has epicurean tastes, ex-
pressed a wish for a mess of frogs
/ legs. There were loud croakingS and
bellowings all along the banks and the
mouths of all three began to water.

"A deer will stand for a light and
maybe frog Will"
1t was worth trying, anyway, so the

PRIVATE CAR PARTY BOARDS
PIRATE CHASER
Former Minister ,conser Explains the
Chamber of Horrors Aboard the
Strange Chinese Craft at
San Pedro

Los Angeles and Pasadena guests of
the Pacific Electric railway officials
yesterday boarded the Chinese pirate
chaser Whang- Ho in San Pedro har-
Dor. accumulated thrills and tremors
of horror at the implements of torture
aboard her, marveled at the strange
craft which crossed the Pacific ocean
and were grateful that former Minister
Edwin Conger. of China was with the
group to give additional details about
the strange boat.
H. S. Kneedler of the Huntington sys-
tenn had placed a private car at the
disposal of the invited guests, who left
the Huntington building at 1:30 p. m.
for a fast spin to San Pedro, and then
in one of the company's launches to
the pirate chaser anchored in the outer
harbor.
The broad wooden hull of the odd
looking craft excited comment at a dis
tance, which became more pronounced
when it was learned that the wood used
in her makeup was teak, camphor wood,
Singapore hardwood and white mahog-
any-materials worth almost their
weight In precious metals.
Oriental shipcraft
Massive dragons and mandarin
shaped figures are hand-carved on the
boat; the colors are fantastic and the
evidence of oriental taste and patience
for detail is everywhere apparent.
From its high decks one can see
far, yet its eight cannon and equipment
of $50 guns show that its mission has
been one of merciless domination of the
Yellow sea, where piracy has fiourished
since time immemorial.
Pirates who suffered capture at the
hands of the Whang-Hos crew had a
far worse fate than death in store very
often. The boat is equipped with a
torture room, which is the refinement
of cruelty There are baskets In which
heads of culprits are fastened, either
to starve them alive or to keep them
awake forcibly with SHARP. sticks, suf-
fering the pangs of sleeplessness.
There were boxes which impress
sharp spikes into the victims flesh and
all manner of articles that break the
spirit if not the fiesh

toric lesson the Whang-Ho will doubt

ferry passengers to the anchored craft

business.

HEAT OF DEEP MINES.

In some places it has been found as much as degree F. for each forty five feet in depth, in others ittlem more than half this rate.
 After about the first ten fathoms the varieties of surface temperature have no effect on that of the mine below which in the absence of chemical changes or of hot springs is always al- most exactly the same. In deep work ings, however, when they are first open ed the temperature is often much high CT than in the same situation after several months working. Thus, at the Clifford AmalGamated Copper mines in Gwennapp, Cornwall, the air in the 22G- fathom level was 100 degrees F. in 1863, but in July, 1864, it had sunk to S3 de- grees. In the 23o,fathom level then just opened the temperature at the same date, July, 1864, was 1O4 degrees F.
 At the Ducken6eld colliery in Dur ham the temperature was found to in- crease for depth of twenty feet down to 3581z fathoms at an average rate of l degree r. for each sS feet in depth. At the Rose Bridge colliery, near Wigan, from a depth of So1a fathoms to 403 fathoms the average increase was at the rate of depree in each 67 feet. This latter is one of the deepest mines yet worked.
 One of the greatest depths yet at tained in Europe is at the Viviers Re unis, near Gilly, in Belgium, where the shaft itself reaches a depth of 3,411 feet, or nearly 57O fathoms, and the bottom of "trial-staple" was found by MT. w. W. Smyth in 1871 to be 3,4s9 feet, or 5s11l fathoms.-Mining Re- porter.
