Then, rapidly becoming more ace | tive, they make thelr Wey ashore, 2nd soon the evening air is resound- ing with their hoarse love-songs. The male's croak sounds like a cross be- tween the cawing of a rook and the quack of a duck, while the lady frog | trills her tremolo lay on a higher | pitched note, Once their courtship is over, nei- | ther parent takes the slightest inter- | est in family affairs. The gggs, which | look like great masses of sago pud- | ding speckled with black points, are | left to look after themselves, and | they provide dainty morsels for a | variety of water creatufes, Ducks, geese, swans, and other aquatic birds, water beetles, fish, and { enemies of many kinds launch an im- | Inedlate attack upon them, and it is | Just as well for us that they do, for | otherwise the whole country would | | | soon be one crawling mass of frogs. | At the end of a day or two the | black speck that lies within each egg begins to grow in size, and gradually | it takes on the shape of a tiny fish- | like creature with a big head, no body, and a long tail. In about a month the tadpoles eat | their way through the covering 'that | protects them and set out to find their own living in the pond in which they are born. For the first week or two of their lives they have large branching gills, but gradually these grow smaller until finally they disappear alto- gether. . Hind legs begin to make their appearance, followed after an | interval by the fore limbs. The tail, | which at first was used as both pro- Peller and rudder, shrinks until sgon | it disappears altogether, 7 The creature is now no longer able | to live entirely under water; it must | rise to the surfice to breathe. One | {a leaf, the head of wh day it makes its way to the side of | the pond and rests for a time upon | fc is above water. Then, greatly daring, it pulls | itself ashore and hdps away into the grass, a tiny frog no larger than a ten-cent piece. | Its life whilst it remained in the water was no time of peace, for tad- ! Doles are regarded as a delicacy by | most pond creatures--even by their own bigger brothers! But on land | things are worse than ever, for birds, grass snakes, rats, and badgers a-e waiting to welcome the young frog as he goes for his first walk. His own diet consists almost en- tirely of flies and other insects, which | he catches in an.ingenious way. His tongue is hinged, not. in his throat, but at the front of the lower Jaw, so that whén it is extended it protrudes quite a long way. The young frog sits quite motion- leas in the shadow of a leaf. Pres- | ently an unsuspecting fly alights and | begins to walk about. The frog does | not move; heé is waiting uritil the fly | comes withip range. The instant it does so, oiit shoots the long tongue. The fly is captured and transferred to the frog's capacious mouth in a fraction of a sécond. The frog which is eaten Ia Euro- pean cities--only the cooked, by the way--is not similar | to the one we see in this country. | He is bigger, and his voice is much more powerful. Often, just before rain, these frogs are so noisy that sleep is impossible in houses near | lakes and ponds. -------------- Fireflies. Fireflies are not a particular kind | of insect. The name is simply a gen- | eral one for several kinds of beetles. | There are two classes of them, one | of which is found in Central South America and and the other Uhited States. Much the more brilliant are those | of the tropics. - One kind, called the | lightalng spring beetle, because when it falls on its back it springs into thé air 50 as 10 get on its feet again, is more than an inch long, and. gives forth sach a beautiful light that the Cuban and Mexican ladies use them As ornaments. The Indian natives of those coun- tries catch them by holding up burn- ing coals on the end of a stick, which attracts the insect. They sell them to ladies, who shut them up in small cages of fine wire, and feed them on bits of sugar-cane. When they wish to use them, they sew them up in little bags of lace and gauze, or twist them in their neckla¢es or girdles. Sometimes they cruelly put a long pin through the poor betties under the chest, and wear them ig thelr hair instead of diamouds, or with the Jewels, the result being a pretty effect. - Travelers who visited the West In- dies, at first excited the incypedulity of heir Jrisnds at me by tha @ natives sometimes put a number of the fireflies into il and thus gain enough light to enable them to read. The story has been confirmed by many scientists, how- ever, and is now universally as the truth. : hind legs are | in Europe and the | £cvernment league at Wash o ho Stetes | ocean, where it s | impels it to seek fresh water, w | in (because of the | bladders | oxygen. | while almost un | commander of | North Ameri | say, he is the defender of the Atlantie | coasts of this. fair | whom the boo and 0 a od _ was naval [ at Pekin and Tokio in his yo the West Indies. | of Washington in his later me WHY FISH MIGRATE. Purpose of Air Bladder Puzzle Science. A fish has got to swim. To do that he must be able to float in the water without effort, using his fins only for travel. This means a nice balance in which ar- concerned his specific grave ity and the volume of water he dis- Places. The bones and lean meat of a fish are slightly heavier than an equal vole ume of water. Thus the finny crea- ture, if starved to leanness, could not float but for an air-bladder which its body contains. As the fish grows fatter its air bladder contracts, occupying less and less space, because the fat (whieh is ofl) is lighter than water, and there fore less air is needed to give the requisite buoyancy. It has been fig- ured out that a fish 29 1-3 per cent. fat would be in equilibrium in sea water without any air bladder, And, without an air bladder, a fish 463% Per cent. fat could float in fresh wat- €r, which has a considerably less density. Upon these data appears to hang a Very interesting new discovery, which is thought to explain the reason why sea fishes, such as the shad and sal- mon, run up rivers to lay their eggs. The Atlantic salmon, hatched in a river, soon thereafter seeks the briny pends two years get- ting its growth and developing bone and muscle. During the third years it puts on much fat, which lowers its specific gravity sufficiently to cause discomfort in its navigation. This here- lesser density) {it agreeably. Yéar it runs up an arrangement can float nicely and So in the fourth a river, where, under conveniently made by nature, it breeds. But it is not the desire to Spawn that brings it into the river; the impelling agency is fat. ,On the other hand, the salmon could not ven- ture into fresh water unless it was fat, becauge, if lean, it could not float or navigate comfortably therein. It is the same way with the shad and with other sea fishes that Tum up rivers to spawn. Such, at all events, is the new theory. As for air bladders, nearly all fishes have them, the flounder and swordfish being among the execep- tions. It was found that the afr blad- der contains more and more oxygen with increasing depths. Fishes taken from great depths in the sea have air filled with nearly pure The purpose of the air bladder has been in dispute ever since the days of Aristotle; but apparently its chief function is to determine buoyancy, doubtedly it helps out the oxygen supply of the fish, Guards Halifax, The man who succeeded Beatty as the battle cruiser SPORTING NEWS x Dinghy Races, > The third race of the third series of dinghy races was run off at the Kingston yacht club on Friday after- noon in splendid fashion.
