TREE, SIR HERBERT BEERBOHM (1853-1917), 

 an English actor and theatrical manager, widely 

 known for his productions of Shakespearean 

 plays. In most of these he himself played lead- 

 ing roles. He was born in London, and in that 

 city made his first appearance on the stage in 

 Boucicault's Grimaldi, in 1877. For several 

 years he attracted no special attention, but in 

 1824 suddenly gained international fame by his 

 impersonation of the Rev. Robert Spalding in 

 The Private Secretary. His accurate imitation 

 of the typical English clergyman became the 

 talk of London theatergoers, and his services 

 were at once in demand by numerous managers, 

 not only in England but in America. 



During the next three years hi? created the 

 leading roles in Hugh Conway's Called Back 

 and Sir Charles Young's Jim, the Penman. He 

 then became his own manager, took charge of 

 the Comedy Theater in London in 1887, and 

 immediately made a great success of Tristram's 

 drama, The Red Lamp. Within a few months 

 he assumed management of the famous Hay- 

 market Theater in London, and for many years 

 played to crowded houses. Tree took charge of 

 Her Majesty's Theater in London in 1897, 

 opening it with The Seats of the Mighty. He 

 produced new plays with a versatility which 

 astonished dramatic students, and which, after 

 the death of Sir Henry Irving in 1905, secured 

 for him the rank of the greatest living British 

 actor. He was created a knight by King Ed- 

 ward VII in 1909. In 1916 he made a successful 

 tour of the United States, appearing in Henry 

 VIII and The Merchant of Venice, and in a 

 splendid revival of Du Maurier's Trilby. 



TREE FROG, or TREE TOAD, a group-of small 

 tree-dwelling frogs. Their toes are claw shaped 

 and have knobs on the tips which exude a 

 sticky fluid to help them cling to smooth 

 bark. Most of these frogs have the power to

change color through a range of grayish-browns 

 and greens, according to the color of the sur- 

 face they are on. Like all other frogs they are 

 entirely harmless, and extremely useful as de- 

 stroyers of insects. Their breeding habits are 

 various and interesting. In Brazil there is a 

 species in which the female deposits the eggs in 

 a round mud nest, constructed on the bottom of 

 a pond. The females of other South American 

 species have pouches in which the eggs are 

 placed. Some species place the eggs on trees 

 above pools, and the tadpoles, when hatched, 

 slip down into the water. 



TRE'FOIL, meaning three leaved, is the 

 name applied generally to various plants hav- 

 ing compound leaves in three parts, like the 

 clover. It is specifically applied to a genus be- 

 longing to the same family as the bean and pea,
