A Study of Frogs.
Dr. Lawrence E. Griffin, of
the Johns Hopkins University,
will arrive in Baltimore from
Jamaica about the list of Sep
tember with a choice collection
of bullfrogs, alligators and igua
nas, taken from that island.
Dr. Griffin has advertised in
the island newspapers for 200
live bullfrogs, as the develop
ment of the eggs will be studied
by one of the professors next
winter. The development of
the frog egg has usually been
one oi the studies prescribed by
the classes in minor biology, but
the prospective investigation
will be much more comprehen
sive. Most frogs deposit their spawn
in masses in water, and the
young emerge from the egg in
the shape of tadpoles, provided
with a tail and external gills,
which disappear with the growth
of the permanent limbs. For
watching its growth the eggs
are placed in a little water in a
watch glass and placed under
the microscope, and the interest
ing process of division, which
the surface undergoes, is care
fully noted. The tadpole or
larvel stage, which comes next,
is important. Then the fiog is ;
essentially a fish, capable of ex-
isting only in water, breathing ;
through gills and havins, like a
fish, a two-chambered heart. ;
The time required for hatching '.
the frog from the egg varies
from four days to one montli
When the different stages of the
living frogs have been carefuli
observed they are killed and ma
croscopic sections made of the ;
for more thorough study.
Dr. Griffin, who received li s
degree last spring, was appoir. -ed
Bruce fellow at the Job in
Hopkins University to folic
original research iu animal mor
phology in Jamaica during the
summer. Caswell Grave, who
held the fellowship last year,
will hold it again during the
scholastic year. Baltimore Sun.

A Railway With One Rail.
An exhibit at Paris which ex
cites much curiosity is a single
rail construction that never had
any chances of success. Briefly
stated, it is a railway system for
lines where the cheapest con
structioi is desired, and where
animal traction and not mechan
ical motors will suffice.
The cars are balanced over
the rail and a light frame is se
cured to one side of the car. In
this frame is placed a horse or
mule and a suitable saddle and
girth transfers any unbalanced
weight of the car to the animal's
body.
Both passenger cars and
freight cars of various sorts are
shown, all of small size, of
course, but the system of traus
portation is designed for places
where nothing in the shape of
rail transportation has before
been applicable.
The rail is very light, weigh
ing not more than eight pounds
per vard, and is supported on
square blocks spaced abcut two
feet apart. The cars have one
wheel in front and one iu the
rear, and the wheels have deep
flangs, so that derailment cannot
occur. Each car arawn by one
horse or mule carries a load of
3ooo to 4 oco pounds,
TIie ar ns as easily on a
cuive as in a straight line, and
no matter how crooked or wavy
tue rail, the wheel will follow
it. From Engineering News.
The South' Four Staples.
Extracts from ai title by Hon. John R.
I'-.octor. President United Mates!
Civil Service ommiasioa
There is a
growing
world- ;
Great
hunger for coal and iron
as has been the increasing de
mand in the past, there must be
! au accelerating demand in the
; years to come, and properties
; having the combination of raw
material for the cheap produo
! tion of coal and iron, with favor
! able transportation facilities for
reaching the markets, form the
most substantial and enduring
basis for safe and profitable in
vestment. We may confidently expect in
the not distant future that South
em steel will dominate the mar
ket, as Southern iron has done
during the past decade. Fol"
lowing the cheap production of
steel must come the establishing
of industries in the South con
venient to the furnaces and steel
plants, and cheap coals and
cokes for the production of
structural steel, bridges, etc.
There is au increasing demand
for iron all over the world, and
a limited number of furnaces
capable of producing iron at low
cost. Then we must take into
consideration the marvelous in
creasing production of gold in
the wroild, caused by discoveries
of new sources of supply and by
the improved processes by which
low-grade gold ores may now be
worked at a profit, thus furnish
ing to the commercial and indus
trial world an abundance of a
stable circulating medium,
which will have the same ten
dencies to sustain prices as did
the discover)' of gold in Cali
fornia and Australia.
The south holds absolute com
mand of the four great staples
the potential basis of marvelous
development in the future coal,
iron, steel and cotton.

UNITED STATES REPLY
IO Till: COMMCXICATIOS OF THE
CHINESE MISISTEB
pTotifj ins; This Government of the Ap
pointment of El Hons Cnanff as
Envoy Plenipotentiary to Kego
tiate Willi the Power
Washington, August 13. The Depart -rnent
of State to-day made public the
reply of the United States Government
to Minister Wu's communication, de
livered on Sunday morning, notifying
the department of the appointment of
Earl Li Hung Chang as envoy plenipo
tentiary to negotiate with the powers.
This reply was sent to Minister Wu at
o'clock Sunday afternoon and is as
Collows.:
"Touching the imperial edict of Au
gust Sth, appointing Li Hung Chang
envoy plenipotentiary to conduct nego
tiations, on the part of China, with the
powers, and the request for a cessation
of hostilities, pending negotiations,
communicated to Mr. Adee by Mr. Wu
bn the 12th of August, 1900.
"The Government of the United
Btates learns with satisfaction of the
appointment of Earl Li Hung Chang
an envoy plenipotentiary to conduct
negotiations with the powers, and will,
on its part, enter upon such negotia
tions with a desire to continue the
friendly relations o long existing be
tween the two countries.
"It is evident that there can be no
general negotiations between China and
the powers so long as the Ministers of
:he powers and the persons under their
protection remain in their present posi
tion of restraint and danger, and that
the powers cannot cease their efforts
for the delivery of these representa
tives, to whifh they are constrained
by the highest considerations of na
tional honor, except under an arrange
ment adequate to accomplish a peacea
ble deliverance.
"We are ready to enter into an agree
ment between the powers and the Chi
nese Government for a cessation of
hostile demonstrations on condition
that a sufficient body of the forces
composing the relief expedition shall be
permitted to enter Pekin unmolested
and to escort the foreign Ministers and
residents back to Tien Tsin, this move
ment being provided for and secured
by such arrangements and dispositions
of troops as shall be considered satis
factory by the Generals commanding
the forces composing the relief expedi
tion. ALVEY A. ADEE,
"Acting Secretary.
"Department of State, Washington,
August 12. 1000."

tures communicated

.y was not without a
Exchanges between
s have been going on
constantly, and as a result the officials
had the satisfaction of knowing late in
the day that the position of the United
Btates had the approval and support
of all the great powers. While this
had not been expressed in any formal
manner by all the parties, yet the ex
changes in the chancellories of Europe
and through the foreign representatives
in Washington made it positive that
the powers were acting unitedly in ap
proval of the course of this Govern
ment. Several of the foreign repre
sentatives, including the German
charge and the Russian charge, had ex
tended conferences with Mr. Adee dur
ing the afternoon. These added to the
assurances of unanimity among the
powers. The presence of the Russian
representative was gratifying in clear
ing away some misapprehension, which
was not shared by the Government
here, as to Russia's course in authoriz
ing M. de Giers to leave Pekin under
Chinese escort. It was pointed out
that this in no way brought about a
difference between the attitude of Rus
sia and that of the other powers, so all
were acting on the theory that the Chi
nese Government must first give an ab
solute guarantee lor the safety of the
Ministers. It seems evident that this
absolute guarantee cannot be given by
Dhina unless it allows the international
forces to enter Pekin, so that in effect
the Russian position does not differ
materially from that of the other pow
ers. At least Russia is included among
those who fully approve the course
taken by the United States.
Washington, August 13. A member
of the Cabinet stated to-day that no
consideration would be given promises
of the Chinese Government until the
demands that have been made by this
Government are actually and fully
complied with.
"We have made our demands on the
Chinese Government," said this official,
"in very definite language, and in view
of that Government's persistent fail
ure to meet them, although certainly
fully understanding them, mere prom
ises will not now be considered. Noth
ing, as I see it, will stop the march of
the relief force to Pekin except the ac
tual delivery of our people now there.
Unless they are put into our hands im
mediately the allied forces will continue
on into the Chinese capital without any
unnecessary delay. This peace edict,
however, looks as if the Chinese Gov
ernment was about ready to yield. They
probably will be disposed to take any
steps necessary to save their sacred
city from foreign intrusion.

at the most convenient country or village, it is

that it is likely?
Do you buy seeds from general merchandise stores
because you believe that they have the best, or is it
because you forget to order them from seedsmen
in time, or find letter writing too much trouble?
Nobody buys seeds at second or third hand except
as a result of forgetfulness or indifference, and if
you have been getting yours that way, it is time
you were making a change.
