FBOSCHDOBF 225 FROTHINGHAM He entered the army in 1635, and at an early age became brigadier. In 1672 he was appointed governor of the French possessions in North America, to be recalled 10 years later, in conse- quence of endless quarrels with his in- tendant and the Jesuits. He had gained the confidence of the settlers and the respect of the Indians. In 1689, when to the attacks from the Iroquois the misery of a war with England was added, he was again sent out by the king. During the next nine years he loosed his savage allies on the villages of New England, repulsed a British attack on Quebec, and broke the power of the Iroquois. He died in Quebec, Nov. 28, 1698. FSOSCHDORF, a village in Lower Austria, rather more than 30 miles from Vienna, and not far from the frontiers of Hungary, on the right bank of the Leitha river; called by the French Frohsdorf. It is celebrated for its splen- did castle, which acquired a kind of political importance, from having been, since 1844, the residence of the Duchess d'Angouleme and the rendezvous of the elder Bourbon party. After the death of the duchess it came into the posses- sion of the Comte de Chambord. FROST, ARTHUR BT7RDETT, an American illustrator and author, born in Philadelphia in 1851. He was self- taught in art and in 1900 exhibited at the Paris Exposition. He became es- pecially noted for his drawings of ani- mals, and for the illustration of many humorous books, including books written by himself. Among his writings are "Bull Calf and Other Tales"; "Stuff and Nonsense"; "Sports and Games in the Open"; "Book of Drawings" (1905); and "Carlo" (1913). FROST, ROBERT, an American edu- cator and writer, born in San Francisco in 1875. He studied at Dartmouth Col- lege in 1892 and at Harvard, from 1897 to 1899. From 1900 to 1905 he was engaged in farming in Derry, N. H., and from 1905 to 1911 was a teacher of Eng- lish at the Pinkerton Academy in that town. He lived in Europe in 1912 and 1915. His first book of poems was "A Boy's Will" (1913). He first attained wide notice at the publication of the book of poems entitled "North of Bos- ton" (1914). This placed him in the first rank of the younger American poets. "Mountain Interval" followed in 1916. FROSTBITE, the freezing of any por- tion of the body by exposure to a high degree of cold. The parts of the body most exposed to the serious consequence of frostbite are those farthest from the seat of circulation, and the most ex- posed to a great degree of cold. These are, the toes and feet, fingers, ears, nose, and the cheeks below the eye. The ef- fect of intense cold is, in the first place, to deaden the sensibility of the part most exposed, which it does by contract- ing the vessels and driving the blood from the surface; when the part, losing its healthy vitality, is unable to resist the specific influence of the surrounding cold, and quickly falls a prey to the potency of the frost, and, in a short time, a partial gives way to an absolute deatn, or mortification of the member or organ. The treatment of frostbite con- sists in coaxing back by degrees the vi- tality of the part; this is most prudently effected by friction, at first with snow, then with water at ordinary tempera- ture, no warmth being applied for some time. FROSTBURG, a city of Maryland, in Allegheny co. It is on the Western Maryland and the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroads. Its situation at an elevation of about 2,200 feet makes it a popular summer resort. It has a State normal school and also a miners' hospi- tal. Its industries include fire-brick and tile works, planing mills, foundries, hosiery mills, etc. It is the center of an important coal mining region. Pop. (1910) 6,026; (1920) 6,017. FROSTED GLASS, a form of glass made by the Venetians. It has irregu- larly varied marble-like projecting dis- locations in the intervening fissures. Suddenly plunging hot glass into cold water produces ciystalline convex frac- tures, with a polished exterior; but the concave intervening figures are caused, first by chilling, and then reheating at the furnace, and simultaneously expand- ing the reheated ball of glass by blow- ing, thus separating the crystals from each other, and leaving open figures be- tween, which is done preparatory to forming vases or ornaments. FROTHINGHAM, ARTHUR LIN- COLN, an American archaeologist, born in Boston in 1859. He was educated in Rome and in Germany. He was a lec- turer in archaeology at Johns Hopkins University from 1882 to 1886. In 1887 he became a member of the faculty of Princeton University, as professor of aix;haeology and ancient history, ser%ing until 1906. In 1895-1896 he was director of the American School of Classical Studies at Rome. He was a member of many learned societies and was the au- thor of "A History of Sculpture"; "Monuments of Christian Rome" (1908) ; "A History of Architecture"
