Considering the large influence col

should be well considered before any

an authority has said:

an object or surface without changing
its position. For this reason orange
can make a surface appear smaller.

Mr.. Frog Gifted With
Astonishing Structure

The bony system Of the frog is very
simple. 1t has only nine vertebrae In
its backbone-fewer than any other
animal-and it possesses no ribs at
all.
Thus 1t is obliged literally to swal-
low by gulps the air 1t breathes, In
stead of projecting its chest as hui
mans do, and creating vacuum for
the atmosphere to pour into.
It's hind legs are very peculiar in
one respect, the two bones which form
the heel in man being greatly elon-
gated, so as to give an extra joint In
the middle Of the big "splay'' foot;
besides, the pelvis hinges onto the
backbone, so as to give joint in the
middle of the back, says Nature Maya
zine.
How much these extra hinges assist
In leaping, you can see If you will take
strip Of stiff paper and fold it sew
eral times. Press the folds together
and you will find that the paper strip
has spring to it. Three or four folds
give a certain amount of spring, five
or six folds make the spring much
stronger, and every additional fold
adds so much spring power.
1t is the same way with the frog,
which, besides having enormously long
and muscular hind legs, is assisted in
jumping by a hinge in his back and
another in his foot. In scientific
phrase the frog is modified" for jump
ing, that being his method of progress
sion.
He has no knee-pan, the bones of
the upper and lower leg being con-
nected by hinge of cartilage merely.
On each hind foot he has a sixth toe,
that has become rudimentary. The
fore feet have only four toes each, the
thumb being absent.
The frog has huge skull, with a
very small brain cavity, and an enor-
nous mouth for the purpose Of swal-
lowing fish or any other prey of size
whole. An artist tells a story of a
pet frog he had in an aquarium that
attempted to INCEST baby alligator.
He found Mr.. Frog, who had taken
down the small saurian head first,
jumping against the glass sides of the
aquarium in vain efforts to drive down
the tail Of the victim which was too
long to find room inside for its accom-
, mediation.
The frog has its tongue fastened In
front and loose behind, so that it can
capture insects by whipping it over
and outwardly. The frog lays eggs
that produce fishlike tadpoles, subse-
quently transformed into the final
shape. The tadpole breathes through
gills like fish, has tail and no legs,
and is vegetable feeder.
The metamOrphosis it undergoes Is
one of the most marvellous things In
nature. If it were not so common it
would astonish the world
Think of vegetable eating fish with
tail and gills turning into an air.

The Miser

Once upon time there was a miser
who used to hide his gold at the foot
of tree in his garden but every
week he used to dig it up and gloat
over his gains. A robber, who had
noticed this, went and dug up the gold
and decamped with 1t. When the
miser next went to gloat over his
treasures, he found nothing but the
empty hole. He tore his hair and
raised such an cutlery that all the
neighbors came around him, and he
told them how he used to visit his
gold. did you ever take any of it
out?" asked one Of them. "Why," said
he, II only looked at it." "Then come
again and look at the hole" said
neighbor; sit will do you just as much
good Wealth unused might just as
well not exist.-Aesop.

Leopard and Tiger

The range Of the leopard is wide
one, extending through the whole of
Africa and the south of Asia from the
Caucasus and Palestine eastward,
writes f. B. Forester.
BY the natives of India the animal
is sometimes called the tree tiger, the
leopard being as much at home among
the branches as on the ground.
Throughout South Africa, too, the
leopard is commonly called the tiger
by the Dutch-speaking community, a
name that is apt to give rise to some
confusion, the tiger proper being con-
fined to Asia, and quite unknown in
Africa.

CHAPTER XV-Continued


And right then, when there was
most need. the good bay who had
served him so long and faithfully, be-
trayed him.
He threw up his head, flung around
toward the strange horses he was
leaving, and neighed-a sharp, shrill
sound that carried up the slope like
a bugle.
At the mouth of the Flange Big Bas-
ford stopped.
His own mount answered.
Once more came that challenge
from below and Sud Provine came
back out of the hidden passage on the
jump.
cd d-nw he shouted, shat amt

caught! Come quick!"
Selwood, far down the trail, knew
with surge of rage that the game
was up and that he was in for 1t. He
knew In the same second, however,
that his own horse was fresh, while
those others from Sky Line were not

as If to make up for its detection
the lean bay stretched and doubled
like a greyhound and Selwood leaned
low on its neck as best he could for
the pitch-for he was listening for
lead.
He knew he was out of six-gun
range, but he knew also that Sud Pro-
vine carried a rifle always on his sad
die
The roar of horses running under
difficulty-leaping stiff-legged, sliding
here and there-came down like an
avalanche of sound, but there were no
voices mingled with It. The Sky Line
men were riding in a silence so grim
that 1t sent chill to Selwood's heart.
They meant death-and were avid

1t was Provine he felt sure who held
the gun.
He dug In his spurs cruelty and the
bay responded with a surge of speed
which seemed certain death, but kept
.ts feet miraculously. Once more
came the snap and whine-again and
again-and again-as fast as the man
behind it could pump the rifle.
And then, just as the bay struck the
waters of Nameless with leap and
roar, it seemed to Selwood that the
heavens opened up, that all the fire
