FROG FARM
Britain's first frog farm will shortly be started at Bridge of Earn, a few miles from Perth (Scotland), states an exchange. The originator of this scheme is Miss Alice Murdoch, of Perth. She has purchased seven pairs of bullfrogs from Louisiana, U.S.A., and they are making the journey in a special glass case, lined with damp moss, and kept cool by ice. In a year she estimates that there will be 70,000 bullfrogs in her tanks, and it will not take long for these to increase to millions. She believes that there is a developing market for frogs in nursing homes and on hotel menus throughout Britain.
A Chinese antique nest of drawers, given by Queen Mary, was sold by auction for £G3 at a bazaar in aid of the Church of St. Lawrence Jewry, London.
