building ON the corner of Connecticut
avenue and l. street On the first
floor he established the confectionery
and caterers office. The second was
taken up with private dining rooms
and small ballroom. Bachelor
apartments were on the third. few
years later he was Obliged TO erect
an addition, containing large ball,

THE FROG A VENTR|L0QUIST
Provision OF Nature That Furnishes
Him Protection from His
Natural Enemies.

While pioneering in South Brazil,
MIR. Withcrs was struck by the low
and plaintiye cry of some creature
calling in the night He was at first
impressed with the idea that 1t was
the cry of a child, but the tones soon
the case.
Il had never heard" he says, "a
more pure and liquid musical sound
than this was. The pleasing effect
upon the ear was but little diminished
on learning by what animal it was
produced. The vocalist was a frog;
and soon another from more dis.
tant spot took up the strain, and the
two sang together, now in solos, now
in chorus.
Curious to see this musical frog,
| took a torch from the fire and went
to look for him. | arrived at the
spot whence the sound was proceed
ing, but as | stopped to search the
grass the music seemed to float away
In another place some yards distant.
II followed, and still the sound
moved, and nowhere could | discover
whence it came. | searched for near
ly a quarter of an hour, without being
able to fix the spot, and then l gave
up in despair.
THE fact is, this frog is recognized
to be ventriloquist of no common
order. have many time since
heard him crying in broad daylight,
and the power OF ventrloquism is no
doubt given him as protection
against the numerous cranes and other
frog enemies that would otherwise be
guided by the sound and soon render
the species extinct"
