The courting period is about the

the wooing is begun, it is not un-

She is later seen digging a small
pocket in the oozy mud. Into this
she deposits frothy mass which
she has whipped up with her feet.
This is the container for her eggs.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

Sammy Jay wouldn't have ad-
mitted it to any one. but the truth
is he was worried about Peter Rab-
bit. He was so. Never since he had
known Peter had Peter, ever been
sick like this before. Mrs. Peter
had said that it was from overeat-
ing in Farmer Browns garden. but
this didn't sound quite right to
Sammy. You see, he had seen
Peter stuff himself many a time
until he couldn't eat another mouth
full, but never had it made him sick
like this Sometimes he had had
stomachache. but nothing worse.
Any one is likely to have a stom-
achache from eating too much.
1T isn't the amount he has
eaten, but what he has eaten"
thought Sammy as he flew over
the Green Meadows toward the
garden of Farmer Brown. HE
has eaten something that is bad for
him. I wonder if I can find out
what 1t Is"
He flew to tree where he could
make sure that the way was clear.
No one was in sight, and Sammy
few into the garden. Almost at
once he saw the mischief Peter Rab-
bit had done in the lettuce bed.
There was one half-eaten plant after
another.
MY stars!" exclaimed Sammy
Jay. What was Peter thinking
Of? Why couldn't he have been
content with two or three. plants?
That bed looks as If a dozen rab-
bits had been in 1t. 1 wonder what
Farmer Brown will say? Peter
ought to have had more sense. The
first thing he knows he'll have
Farmer Brown down on him.
Then in turn Sammy visited the
carrots, the beans and the cabbage
plants. He saw where Peter had
eaten off the carrot tops and the
bean plants. and he saw where
Peter had nibbled at the cabbage
plants. Sammys eyes are sharp and
he didn't miss thing. Then he
looked over the rest of the garden
but he saw no signs of Peter any
where else.
"It's queer" thought Sammy,
that nice tender young plants
like lettuce and carrots and beans
and cabbage should have made Pc
ter so sick. Yes. sir, it certainly is
queer. I never knew them to make
any one sick before I think I'll
take look at them little closer"
He flew down among the lettuce
plants and looked at them closely.
Then he did the same thing to the
carrots and the beans. They all
look perfectly good to me-" said he
as he once more flew over toward
the cabbage plants. Almost at
once he noticed that there was
something on the cabbage leaves.
He cooked his head on one side and
looked at one of those leaves closely.
There certainly was something on
it that never In the world grew
there.
What are you staring at?" asked
a gruff voice.
Sammy turned to find Old Mr..
Toad blinking at him from under
one of the cabbage leaves. Some
how. Mr.. Toad looked out of sorts.
Sammy said 50, for he is one who
speaks plainly and is seldom over
careful Of other peoples feelings.

FLYING FROG OF JAVA.
(RhnconhOrn rein,rnrdtj
(Rhdcophorus reinUdrdti.)

We have always known that frogs
were famous jumpers and leapers.
Until recently We we're not aware
| that expert flyers were among the
clan. However. there is large
genus containing more than 40 spe-
cies of famous flyers. They have
rather unusual distribution. There
are - species in Madagascar, eight
or nine in Cevlon. some in Southern
India, the Malay Islands, the Hima-
layas and the Philippines, extend
ing northWard through China and
Southern Japan. There are three
species in Africa. Some of our boys
have written back home about these
swift tree travellers.
With the exception of a few weeks
during the counting season. the
frogs reside in trees. They travel
the shortest and swiftest method
flying. Their food can be harpooned
as they fly back and forth through
the leaves. ANY of the frogs can
remain stationery where the insects
are numerous and, by darting its
tongue among them, obtain sufficient
numbers to satisfy his hunger.
The power OF flight is not because
of abnormally produced ribs with
connecting membrane, as is found
in the flying lizard Neither is it
because of a flap of skin stretched
between the fore and hind limbs.
as we find in flying squirrels and
phalangers. But, in place Of these,
we find that all toes are strongly
webbed. The forefeet are abnormal
ly prolonged and their interspaces
bridged over to the tips by webbing.
To be accurate, these frogs do not
fly. They float. They make great
leap and spread out their feet.
The adult frogs are about 4 inches
