who were ailing all the while have
most astonishingly increased their

History of Term "Caucus."

The origin of the term "caucuS" Is traced back to the Caucus club. BOS- ton of Revolutionary days. notes an exchange This club was composed usually of persons engaged in ship and was one of the most radical opponents of British rule. It and the Merchants club of the same period used to meet before elections and agree on candidates for town and provincial offices. Caucus" Is be- lieved to be corruption of "Caulk- CTS" the Massachusetts pronuncia- ton of which would sound like eau cus. If this derivation of the word
 seems improbable there Is another even more so which derives it's name from an aboriginal Indian word "caw. cawassaugh." meaning person who urges or pushes on some scheme. John Adams. a Boston man. used the word tn 1763. writing fin his diary. ".this day learned that the Caucus club meets at certain times in the garret of Tom Dawes. the adjutant of the Boston regiment" This argues secret meet ings and may refer to the "Caulkers' |" club. The British Cyclopedia sayS the word came first into use in Great Britain fin 1878. and was introduced then by Lord Beaconsfield to discredit his political opponents.

In general terms the tadpole is a vegetarian. while the frog lives on ami nal food. The tadpole in the pool or pond feeds chiefly upon the algae. But the tadpOle wilt also eat decaying in sects. earthworms. fruit and almost any kind of meat.
 It is curious fact. says Boys Life. that when the tndpole transforms into the frog the intestine shortens. the mouth becomes wider and the tongue increases greatly in size. These changes take place to adapt 1t to a change of food. At the same time. the legs grow rapidly. the rounded body alters In form and the tail is absorbed.

TINTED STATES GUNBOAT

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28.-The wireless of the United States gunboat Yorktown was used to transmit mes sages between conspirators in an al legged plot to overthrow British rule in India, according to testimony ad- duced at the trial of thirty-one of the supposed conspirators in the Uni ted States district court here today.
 It was also announced in court by John w. Preston. United States dis trict attorney. that the conspiracy Is still alive. Preston stated at the close of the session that he had knowledge that conspirators seeking Hindu stani republic in India were still ac- tive in several Mexican cities.
 Letters said to have been taken from the private correspondence of J. Clyde Hizer, San Diego attorney and one of the defendants, indicating that the Yorktown's wireless was used by w. H.
