ing, the military telegraph instrument
In the operators room over the tenn
porary barracks of the Third Hussars

the usual military signal, but secret
sequence understood only by certain
officers of the Imperial Military Police.
The operator on duty therefore step
ped into my room and waited while
took his. place at the wire,
Who is this?Y came over the wire
in the secret code; and answered at
once: Inspector of Foreign Division,

Morsbronn, Alsace.'
After considerable delay the next
message arrived in the Morse code:
rs that you, Scarlett?"
And replied: Eyes. Who are you?
Why do you not use the code? Repeat
the code signal and your number"
The signal was repeated, then came
the message: This is the Tuileries.
You have my authority to use the
Morse code for the sake of brevity.
DO you understand? | am Jarras The
Empress is here instantly reassured
by the message from Colonel Jarras,
head of the bureau to which was at
tached, l answered that understood.
Then the kilograms began to fly, all
in the Morse code:
Jarras-"Have you caught Buck
hurst?'
NO"
Jarras-"How did he get away?"
I"There's confusion enough on the
frontier to cover the escape of hun
dred thieves"
There was long pause; | lighted a
cigar and waited. After while the in
strument began again.
Jarras-''The Empress desires to
know where the chateau called La
Trappe is
LA Trappe is about four kilo-
metres from Morsbronn, near the ham
let of Trois- Feuilles.'

Peculiar Japanese Froa.

The Japanese frog is creature
measuring between fifteen and twenty
five inches. The skin of its back is
pale blue and by night looks dark
green or olive brown. The frog re-
mains motionless during -,e day, with
eyes sheltered from the light and with
belly up, clinging to its support by ad-
hesive cushions and by its belly, which
is provided with sticky covering,
and it is hardly distinguishable from
the objects that surround it. At night
fall it begins its hunt for the mann
moth crickets on which it feeds, ma
king leaps covering seven feet of
ground-Harper's Weekly.
