them worse. A doctor treated him

WAR IN COURT OVER FROGS.
Pond Owners Must Suppress Noise,
German Tribunal Says.


German Tribunal Says.
An uncommon case was lately fought
before the German tribunals right up
10 the supreme court in Leipzig.
Two neighbors lived for long time
in close friendship until one of them
had an artificial pond constructed in
his garden. After a time number Of
frogs appeared in the pond. and their
croakings We're so loud and continu-
Gus as to deprive the neighboring fam
lily of its nightly rest The disturbed
family objected and, relying on a law
which forbids any one from diminish
ing the valUe of another's property, re-
quested the pond owner to make ar
engagements for keeping the frogs with
in bounds.
The pond owner replied that he was
not to blame for the musical activity
Of the frogs, which he had not placed
in the pond The first tribunal upheld
the pond owner on the ground that the
frogs were Il dispensation of nature
which must be put up with, like the
sun and rain. The judgment was up
set by the next higher tribunal and
the decision Of the latter was affirmed
by the supreme court.
The supreme court reasoned that
whoever made a pond had to reckon
with the subsequent appearance Of
frogs and that the noise emitted by
them constituted injury to neighbor-
ing property.

that a bill Of fare made scanty by high
prices may be eked out satisfactorily

may now be seen growing in patches
of the sandy desolation which sur
rounds Berlin.
The newspapers have published arti-
Giles setting forth that Americans have
found corn a useful food and giving
directions how to eat it. According to
Vorwarts, the Americans eat not only
the kernels, but also the cob when
