experiment consisted in sailing over

how it is reported to have resulted:
"The weather was most propitious, and
the warship rested on the plaeid waters,

denly the aeroplane rose in the air like
a bird, and, describing a graceful eirele,

bullfrogs that has made its home direct-
ly under the building. From the dis-

pear to be thousands of frogs in the
pond.
When Vancouver people went to the
Auditorium early this spring they heard
an occasional croak and little was
thought of it. At first it was consider -
ea a joke, but the population of Frog-
ville multiplied fast. The bullfrog chor-
us became decidedly annoying, and on
evenings \theft the frogs are at their
best it is an even break between them
and the comic opera singers who are oe-
cupying the stage above. Unless some-
thing is done it is regarded as only a
question of time when the theatrical at-
tractions will have to be limited to mati-
nees, the frogs confining thernselves to
evening performances. -Vancouver cor-

If you want to find ont for yourselves
that plants need the right kindof air
to breathe, and that they breathe with
their leaves, take up a few slips of
your garden, plants this full ansi try to
make them grow in the house, in a room
evbere they will be exposed to the fumes
of illeminating gas or of coal gas. Un-
der that kind o: treatment they will
die, just as surely as. a person would
die, under the same circumstanees.
Plants purify the air for us to use by
breathing in certaiu gases from the air,
and breathing out certaiu other gases.
So that if you see it window full of
