1t Is said that there are authenti-
Gated cases of fishes and frogs which
have survived after having been in
cased in solid ice. This is because
cold-blooded creatures such as fish
and frogs have very low standard
OF heat. Their body temperature is
only slightly above that Of the sur
rounding atmosphere. However, fishes
and frogs frozen in ice would not u.s.

CHAPTER VII

Gibbs had set up his easel In his
fathers study. and was keeping his
hand in, as he expressed 1t, by making
a pastel sketch of Josselyn. Senior.
The study was a small room so cum
ningly concealed by the mazes of the
house that the occupant might be sure
of privacy whenever he desired Ii

times spent happy evening here. II

Ing beside the fire, YOU listen half
smiling their war of words and
points, open her book. and shut 1t idly

bored on these occasions, but Ellen
loved the quiet and peace, and sus-
pected that the old man was never so
happy as in this environment.
II was his within never to allow
strangers In this room. Ellen. with
his permission, had taken Joe there
and marveled with him over its var
ious contents. Tommy was privi-
legged visitor, and came and went with |
royal contempt for restriction. He
deeply amused his grandfather by |
calling 1t "our ROOM" indeed all the |
"villino dell Orto" was TO Tommy
now my house."
There was no formal reconciliation
between Gibbs and his wife but after
few days they began to speak to
each other again. The breach did not
entirely heal. however, and Ellen felt
a change In their relationship from
that day. Gibbs went to the city three
or four times a week. Sometimes
Ellen went with him. and they hunted
for studio together. But the old

During the past year 1882 bobcats

record year, but the work will, go on to
get the number down to a point where
they can do no practical damage to

The efficacy Of catnip oil to attract
bobcats Is especially valuable since
these animals extend all over the coun-
try, while the range of mountain lions
now is limited to a small area in the
west. The latter during the past year
have caused considerable complaint
from the national parks and game pre-
serves. where they prey on deer and
other. game animals.

This subject has for several years

be stated that this government found
1t impossible to proceed to the ratifi-
cation of the convention Of st. Ger
main, as said convention was not a
provision for a general limitation of
armament, but was a creation Of a
system Of control by the signatory
powers of the traffic in arms, these
powers being less free not only to
meet their own requirements, but to
provide for supplying each other with
arms to the full extent that they
might see f1t. 1t also prohibited the
contracting parties from selling to
states not parties to the convention,
and hence would have prevented this
government had II ratified from ship
ping military supplies to such Latin
American countries as had not ad-
hered to the convention. however de-
sirable such shipment might be.
Proposals which. it is said, have
been put forward with the purpose of
meeting these objections. have been
under consideration by a committee
of the league of nations, and the min
lister of the United States to Switzer-
land has been instructed to receive,
for the consideration of this govern
ment. whatever proposals may be
made. You will readily understand
that 1t is impossible for this govern
ment to favor any proposals which
would not be likely to meet with the
approval OF Congress, as appropriate
legislation would be necessary to
carry into effect any convention re-
lating to the production and traffic in
arms and munitions"
