Fine Orchestra, but
Not in First Class

Many are the stories prevalent in va
rious parts of the British empire to il
lustrate typical American humor. They
have an idea over there that we go in
largely for size. One of the latest and
most characteristic has been wished
on to Sir Henry Wood, who relates
that at one of his concerts an enthu-
siastic admirer was present with an
American friend.
When it was all over, the English
man, hoping it had impressed his
friend, remarked: Magnificent or
chestra, isn't it?1
But the Yankee, being one Of those
who always boast of the wonders of
'Amurrika" when abroad, was not CIV
ing anything away.
Fine, you say?" he answered.
We'll, it's a good little band In his
way, but if you're using fine in
sense of its being large, great Chris

steal combinations. in the Statesl Why,

Many Poisonous Fish

fusion.
AS inevitable as. his cup Of black

Humble Frog Friend and
Benefocfor Of Mankind

Among creatures most useful to
mankind the polliwog must take Ills
place with the, COW. the horse ard tn.
dog writes the Worlds Work
More books have been written about
the frog than about Shakespeare III
Lincoln or Napoleon. or as DIR. Samuel
Holmes put 1t in his book. 1.-THE b.
ology Of the Frog:
Perhaps no animal. except man.
has been subject to SO. many scientific
Investigations. =. In fact. most of
what is known in certain departments
of physiology is derived from study OF
this animal"
Startling, but true. that this Inslg-
niticant creature should have con
tributed so much TO medical science,
when mention of the frog usually
raises the obvious queries on The edi-
bility of its legs or why II makes so
much noise when men crave sleep. In
literature the frog is no hero and is nj
ways represented as being unneces-
sarily raucous. except by AristOphanes,
who. IN ''The Frogs" makes Charon
remark to Bacclrus as they start their
river journey: '"Thou'll hear sweet
music presently Of frogs with voices
wonderful as swans" But see what
company CharOn had!
To the scientist the voice Of The
frog Is just as sweet as 1t was to
Charon, even when Bacchus is NOT
present. Without the frog, the polii
wog and other marine animals. the
study of the endocrine glands would
he much more difficult, and the sud
den and widespread exterminaticn Of
the frog would retard the solution OF
many Of the problems confronting
medical science, In the study of cam
Ger and some other diseases the mouse
Is favorite; the guinea pig also Is b
good servant Of science. But the Frog
Is leader.
