SHORT STORIES OF TOWN AND COUNTRY “ Fishing Frog’’ Has No Trouble De coying the Unwary Prey With Hia Glittering Bait. Bargains \ ' The Post prints hop checks. There is a hideous reptile, knowu as the tishing frog which angles for its game as expertly and with as great success as the most adroit fly fishet. He is a clumsy, awkward swimmer, but ^ nature has compen sated him for his unwieldiness bv furnishing him with an equivalent for a rod and line, with bait always ready for use, the Indianapolis News declares. Tw o elongated ten tacles spring from his nose, which taper away like actual fishing rode. T o the end of them Í6 attached, by a slender filament, which serves the purpose of a line, a bait in the form o f a shiny bit o f membrane. The hooks are set in the mouth of the fisherman below, and in order to in duce the fish to venture within reach o f them, the angler stirs up the mud at the bottom with his fins and tail. This attracts the fish and conceals him from their observation, lie then plies his rod; the glittering bait glows in the water like a living insect. The dazed fish are taken in great numbers, perfectly circum vented by, the trick of the crafty angler. 4 1918 C h e v ro le t, e le c tric It pleases us to please you. ■ Independence Realty Co. lig h ts and starter. tires, etc. J.

The southern margin of this great ice sheet, according to the United States geological survey, ex tended to Long Island and remained there for a long time, depositing a thick body of intermixed boulders, sand and clay as a terminal moraine, which is now the ‘backbone’ o f the island. The ice moved southward across the area that is now occupied by ljong Island sound, and brought these materials from the north, dropping them at its melting edge. This method of deposition developed a very irregular aggregation of hummocks and hollows, which have produced the many beautiful details o f configuration that make the high er parts o f lying Island so attractive to lovers o f nature. « P LA Y IN G FOR S A F E T Y .
