Show Use for Electric Road. The, yonns son of a New York doctor doc-tor lias the entire second floor of the house fitted up as a playroom In the middle of the room he has a large liool in which half a dozen frogs swim all day. and in another corner of the room he has a small tree planted in earth brought in for that purpose. Running between the pool and th tree the boy has a miniature electric railroad, much larger than the average aver-age toy railroad. Friends of the boy's father who view the room are surprised sur-prised to see such a funny combination combina-tion of playthings. The other day one of the father's friends asked the boy what the electric railroad was used for. "That railroad," replied the bey, "Is used to ride the frogs from the pool to the tree every day so they can get the air." |
