HOUSE-BUILDING
FROGS FOUND
BY MARSH
Expedition Brings Word Of
Man-Eating Sardines and
Odd Fish

NEW YORK, July 14.-Aside from
The white" Indians brought back
from the Panama jungles by the
Richard o. Marsh expedition, scien-
lists are investigating other Zoo
logical and botanical mysteries un-
earthed by the expedition. Among
them Is frog that builds house.
This queer frog, says Charles NJ.
BREEDER, jr., of Newark, an icthyo-
logist Of the American Museum of
Natural History, builds a dam in
front of the hollow he has selected
and when the water seeps through
to make a lagoon he sits and chants
a love song until a lady frog ap-
pears to join him In his apart
ment."
Another species Of frog was found
| that, with its mate, kicked up a
tremendous froth of water so that
the bubbles covered the eggs and
these were sealed with a Viscous
fluid. When the dry season arrives
the tadpoles have plenty of water
to develop in and later the torren-
| tial rains break the bubbles and
release the tiny frogs to a more
| adventuresome existence.
Wife Saves His Life.
Mr.. BREEDER is lame as a result of
his explorations, having been at
| tackled by a fungous disease in his
! feet. If this is not checked, the
tissues will be destroyed. He is
| twenty seven years old. Among
| other hardships he experienced was
to lie at the point of death from
| typhoid fever, when two other
| scientists died. Mrs. BREEDER, an ex-
pert on reptile life, Joined him at
| Panama and nursed him back to
health.
Mr.. BREEDER describes the piranha,
| a species Of man-eating sardine %
| vicious that a school of them
quickly devours anyone who falls
overheard. He himself, bathing,
| felt hundreds Of nips on his legs
and body and his efforts at splash.
ing to frighten the assailants served
| only to make them concentrate their
attack. He tells of a fresh-water
flying fish three inches long, as
thick as blotting paper, and of an
armored fish the natives cook in its
shell and eat much like a crab.
Dive For Their Fish.
He said the interior Indians were
gentle and kindly, except when
drunk on liquor, made from maize
chewed to a pulp by the most beau
tiful of the village maidens. Their
manner of fishing is to dive after
the quarry and Mr.. BREEDER says
even the earnest Panama bass can.
not escape them.
Their religion is a combination
of nature and devil worship and a
trace of Catholicism, probably
handed down from some long-for-
gotten Spanish missionary priests
They usually have three wives and
there rarely is jealousy among
them, for each time a wife is added
there is less work to be done by
the others.

They also make charming shades
for sidehghts in room when the
right colors are used.
Compete dishes or bowls of col
orful glassware are very charming
for holding flowers or fruits. Glass
or rubber fruit may be used, the
latter being particularly natural in
appearance, and excellent color eff
fects can be accomplished.
The charming natural flowers
made of wood shavings are guaran-
teed to keep their color and life
like appearance for months and
are, therefore, being used for deco
rations instead of the perishable
flowers. These flowers may be
used in profusion and by altering
thair arrangement frequently the
color tone is retained indefinitely.

HINTS ON THE ART
OF COEOR HARMONY
IN YOUR OWN HOME

Color tones are valued by the in.
terror decorator and are placed
where they will do tha most good
as high spots in the decorative
scheme of a room says Wanda Bar
ton, well known color expert.
In the dining room the side table,
veiled with a lace runner, may have
a pair of tall amber colored glass
eandlesticks with lemon eolored
candles in them, while the large
yellow glass plate in the center is
filled with rosv-cheeked yellow
pears with enc or two oranges to
hcighten the color shading. Against
brown wains"oting or paper the
effect of this arrangement is most
attractive.
In L large. dark inside room a
curtain of gold cloth draped at
either side of corner book shelves
compelled the eve as surely as a
ray of sunshine would have done.
1t lighted the whole room without
in the least detracting from the
other decorations. 1t is in know
ing just where to put a color tone
to get its full value that counts
in decoration.
Lighted Flowers
An odd fancy at one end of Il
dark hall was large irideseent
glass dish with candlesticks to
match placed on Il console table
which was covered with a Venetian
embroidered linen scarf. In the
lish were delicate pink and yellow
ahtll flowers glowing with soft
SIGHT. The flowers are wired by
new method which lights the
stems and blossoms as well. While
rather expensive, they are very
nrettv when nut III the right place.
