New Material Invented In Germany
May Replace Old Life Preseryers--
Successful Tests Made.

The Hague.-Most interesting dem.
onstrations were made recently at the
Hook of Holland by the crew OF the
lifeboat with the new safety girdles
made of a material called "rettung''
(saviDg), which possesses the prop
erty of keeping those who wear 1t
afioat In the water. Previously the
first demonstration In Holland had
been given before the queen and
prince consort on one of the orna-
mental lakes in the zoo palace garden.
A few days later the Rotterdam river
police tried 1t and then at the special
request of the prince consort, who is
always to the fore where anything
having to do with life saving is con-
cerned. the Lifeboat society of South
Holland arranged a test, at which
Prince Henry himself was a most in
terested spectator
The test was made In the open sea
near the north pier. The lifeboat crew
all wore girdles of ''rettung." which

SAVE THE CRYSTAL PALACE
Threatened Sale at Auction Of Historic
Building Arouses People Of
English Capital.

London.-Shall the Crystal Palace
be saved to the people of Britain, or
shall the wonderful building now
gracing the heights of Sydenham be
removed to make room for the villas
which are spreading around London
like a network? This is a question
uppermost in the public mind today.
Whatever the issue may be. certain 1t
is that the historic structure will not
be lost to the public without strug-
gle.
The lord mayor has convened a
meeting to be held at the Mansion
House of all bodies and individuals in
terested in the preservation OF the
building. At this meeting the prob
abilities are that the fate of the place
will be settled. Should no feasible
suggestion be made the place will be
disposed of at auction next month.
The story of the Crystal Palace Is
one of romance. and is most intimate

Victoria Erected first In Hyde Park

D0|NGs OF A FROG
New Group in New York National
History Museum.
Work Represents About Two Years
Study and Preparation by Mary
Cynthia Dickerson-Everything
Is Shown, Even Cracking.

New York.--The last word in frog
sociology is the way Prof. Bashford
Dean describes the new bullfrog group
which has just been installed in the
east tower of the second floor of the
American museum of natural history.
The bullfrog group represents a July
scene typical of Southern New Eng
land and is unique inasmuch as it is
the first group with descriptive labels
to be placed on view in a public mu-
scum showing the general biology of
the frog, its swimming, croaking. its
food habits in connection with small
mammals, snakes and fish and also the
metamorphosis from a tadpole.
The bullfrog group represents about
two years of study and preparation by
Mary Cynthia Dickerson, of the mu-
scum staff. and is novel in that 1t has
transparent porous background
curved in panoramic fashion and made
OF fine and durable linen. The back
ground was painted by Hobart Mich
OILS and Albert Operti and is in trans
parent colors, the high lights on the
front, the shadows on the back In an
effort to obtain a realistic woodland
scene with shifting light in and
through it as in nature.
The light at the back of the canvas
has been kept at the minimum and
balanced on the canvas in front by a
weak indirect light, while a relative
ly strong direct light has been focused
on the foreground as If from the west
ern sky. To help the perspective in a
minor degree. the arranger of the
group has resorted to various small
devices. For instance, the foreground
slopes upward to meet the back
ground; tall shrubs in the front are
made to lead into others less tall far
ther back, while the large leaf plants
such as alder and birch have been
placed in the immediate foreground.
The story of the group tells itself
at sight. One frog is moulting its
skin In typical frog fashion; second
is dashing from the water to catch a
white footed mouse descending from
sparrow's nest; another is croaking
and a fourth is demonstrating how
large a mouthful of young water
snakes a bulifrog can master. A
smaller bullfrog, giving his attention

to be taken too seriously. Besides. SO
far as our observation goes. the criti-
cism is grossly exaggerated. not to
say unfounded. Mr.. Dickens must
have poor vision or perhaps he spent
all his time in the shopping district

gest that a pound of flesh be taken
