Frogs eggs are laid before they real

that word. They are always laid under

shape of a thin membrane. In this
shape they are very small. but as soon
as they come In contact with the wa

and In so doing go through a queer
transformation. The thin membrane
containing the little seedlike eggs is
quickly changed into great lufnps Of a
clear jelly-llke substance. each section

LuxurY on Shipboard.

Sumptuously furnished vessels were
known centuries ago. The ship that Ar
chimedes designed for Hero H., king
of Syracuse, not only was wonderfully
decorated-the story of the Had was
told In marquetry, but there were flow.
er beds on the promenade deck, a gym
nasium. staterooms with three beds, a
library, bathroom with hot and cold
water, stables and horses, fish ponds
and many fair room paved with agate
and precious stones. And this vessel
was designed as a carrier Of wheat 1t
was first named the Syracusan, but
afterward the Alexandr1an. Archime-
lus wrote a poem In its honor, and
Hero, in gratitude and appreciation,
sent him a thousand measures Of
cheese and thoughtfully prepaid the
expense. Moschion gives a detailed de-
scription Of this ship. Then there was
the Egyptian vessel, the Joy of Ptolemy
Philopator, with galleries and prom
enades, a temple of Venus with her
statue, a drinking hall, belvederes, q
grotto the sides of which were deco
rated with precious stones set In or

Gwithian sands were caught there by
the tide and ultimately carried into St.
Ives bay during the night. There the
floating flock was observed from the
st. Ives fishing boats, whose crews,
never having seen sheep, took them for
some new kind of fish and did their
best to secure them both by hooks and
lines and by netting. Those they Sc
cured they brought home triumphantly
next morning as a catch to which even
pilchards were as nothing.

lutions among them the following:

KING INDIGNANT
George v Aneered by Suggestion That
He Opposes Home Rule.


King George expressed great indig-
nation when he saw picture post
card, which has been circulated in
London recently, showing him between
Bonar Law and Sir Edward Carson
and representing him by inference as
supporter Of listers protest against
Home Rule.
Those who are brought into contact
with George v are we'll aware Of the
care he takes not to identify himself
with politics in any way, and this was
one Of the first lessons that the late
king instilled into him when he be-
came heir apparent. Instructions were
given to Lord Stanfordham, the kings
private secretary, to discover the au.
thors of what the king regards as an
absolute outrage.
The king made a protest some lit.
tie time ago against his name being
brought into the Home Rule question
and an understanding was arrived al
between the occupants Of the front
benches of the House Of Parliament
that he should be utterly left out o.
the controversy.

"Our purpose is to make a broad
appeal on undenominational lines,'
Miss Lummis explains. There has
been much destructive criticism of the
stage and the moral tone of the stage
and tho moral tone Of the plays pro-
duced. This does not go far enough.
We propose to supplant bad plays by
presenting good ones and to focus
more definitely all we'll meant at
tempts for better things. I attended
two performances at the Renaissance
Theater in Paris and have never seen
on any stage more admirable per-
formance. The plays were finely writ
ten and the society has its organ, the
Echo, which publishes clever criti-
cisms of all current producrtcas and
is a guide to the Catholic public"

COLUMBUS MEMORIAL.
To Be Unveiled June e-WiII Attract
Thousands to Washington.

The citizens Of the national capital
are preparing to take large part in
the carrying out of the Columbus me-
mortal unveiling ceremonies. Citizens
meetings have been called and they
have been attended by men of all
walks of life, Of all creeds, which is
an excellent testimonial to the great
interest that the public at large main
tains in behalf of the discoverer of
this hemisphere.
The Board of Trade and the Cham
ber Of Commerce Of Washington have
appointed big committees to assist in
making June 8 memorable one for
all who visit the city. Large appro.
priations have been made for the en-.
tertainment of the visitors that will
be within the city's gates, and all the
business men of the capital have vol
UNFAIRLY pledged themselves that the
city shall wear gala dress in honor
of Columbus.
The plans Of the various civic and
other bodies contemplate q large par
ticipation In the parade which will be
held in connection with the unveiling
and 1t is estimated that there will be
at least eighty or ninety thousand men
in line. The unveiling committee has
been notified that big bodies of men
identified with large organizations in
other cities will come to Washington
to participate in the memorial parade

Will Go to Rome Next Year.

Next year, 1913, is the period fixed
for the "ad limina" visits Of Ameri.
can bishops to Rome. Every bishop
is obliged to visit Rome at certain in
tervals to give an account Of his ad.
ministration to the Holy Father. I'm
til recently bishops were obliged to
visit Rome only every ten years and
they were free to choose the year
when they would make their "ad linn
ina" visit. They are now Obliged tc
visit Rome at the end of five-yeal
periods, beginning with 1913.

that Lord Robert having already
spoken in the debate, would have no
opportunity Of repiying, while Lord
Hugh. also deeply moved, denounced
the suggestion as absolutely false If
it We're applied to his family. There
was a scene Of some excitement. which
is becoming frequent In this parlia-
ment, charged as it is. with very
fierce political passion.
Forced to Confess Theft.
People rubbed their eyes when they
heard this bold declaimer. Swift Nc
Neil, an Irish member of great learn
ing, professor of constitutional law in
the new National university in Dub
lin, who, however, has most un-
academic tendency to bubbling ex-
citement, shouted out denials to the
Cecils, and in short things looked ugly
for a time. But the next day came
the terrible sequel. A professor in
the London university, whose main in
terest is in English history, wrote a
letter to the Times, in which he con-
clusively proved that the Cecil fam
lily had received enormous grants Of
church lands from the pious hands of
the Tudors. The two Cecls at
tempted several replies which CONTRA
dicted each other, with the final re-
suit that they had to plead guilty to
the original theft by their family and
to seek refuge in the defense that time
had sanctioned the spoliation.
The relentless professor pursued
them all through the mazes of their
contradictory answers. unkindly sug-
gested that they had no right to talk
of church spoliation until they had
made restitution by restoring some of
the church property, and one radical
member capped this by asking Mr.
Asquith whether he had received any
intimation Of any such virtuous re-
! solve from the distinguished noble.
men who were at once enjoying past
church plunder and describing the
Welsh bill as sacrilegious spoliation
This incident, trivial apparently in
itself, has transsorgrd the whole sit
uation. and the te5taNas Of the Welsh
bill are now as bright as formerly
they were dark. Hope has succeeded
| IN desnair and unitv to division anC
it is now confidently predicted that
the majority on the second reading Of
the Welsh bill will rise to 100. A lit
tie personal incident has more effect
on the English mind than an appea
to history, to faith or to abstract
principle. 1t is essentially a race thai
lives and moves and has it's being II

Three Students Of Episeopalian Semi-
nary to Enter Priesthood.
Three students Of the General
Theological Seminary (EpiscopaD
have created excitement in that insti-
tuition by their announcement to be-
come Catholic priests. Their names
are Charles Danford and Raymond
Lawrence, second year men, and Gra-
ham Reynolds, a first year man. 1t is
said they have the pledges Of several
other students to follow them.
The three are close friends. That
they have long had strong leanings
towards Rome was we'll known to the
authorities at the Protestant semi
nary. DR.. Denslow, in the absence of
Dean Wilford L. Robbins, head of the
seminary, who is In Europe, tried to
dissuade them from quitting the
church, in which they had bright pros.
poets, but failed.
According to DR.. Denslow, the three
young men have made arrangements
with the Paulist Fathers at 59th street
and Ninth avenue to receive them. He
believed their baptism in that church
had not yet taken place. but would i'm
