Dillon, "and it instructed the train

sponsibility for the wreck When we
arrived in Grand Junction we found
the Pittsburg special ahead of us. At
that point the dispatcher killed our
special and our three sleepers were
hooked onto the Pittsburg train. The
Pittsburg people complained that
they had paid for an exclusive special
and insisted on our cars being cut
out. This was done and we were
made up again as a special train. 1t
is evident that the train orders were
not altered to conform to this ar

1t is in France that the frog was
first generally used for food and 1t
is in that country that the industry
of frog farming has been most large
ly developed The green frog exists
abundantly throughout France wher-
ever there are marshes, ponds, or
sedgy margins of rivers or bays that
contain fresh or slightly brackish
water. Discussing the subject, Pop
ular Mechanics for August says:
"The outfit for frog raising is one or
more shallow ponds or reservoirs,
filled with grasses and other water
plants. 1t should be so situated that
the water can be partially drawn off,
so as to facilitate the labor of catch
ing. If. as is often the case, the
pond already abounds in frogs, they
are simply protected and left for a
year or two to propagate If food
does not prove abundant the owner
throws in live earth works. as the
frog is varnivorous animal and
prefers the food, whether worms.

living condition. II no frogs exist in
the water they are planted either
living, or in the form of eggs, which
