The Novel Way the Frogs Rival Gets Rid
of Needless Covering.
1t is safe to say but few people have
ever been fortunate enough to catch
toad in the act Of changing his skin. A
man who processes to have been an in
terested eyewitness to such transact
tion describes the novel operation.
The toad pressed his elbows against
his sides downward. After few smart
rubs his skin began to burst open along
his back, but he appeared to be uncon-
cerned, and kept on rubbing until he
had worked his skin into folds on his
sides and hips.
Then, grasping one hind leg with his
forelegs, he pulled the skin from the
leg as slick as a man would remove a
pair Of pants, then stripped the other
hind leg in the same way lie next took
the csst-off portion of his cuticle and
pulled it forward between his forelegs
until be cou-d catch it in his mouth.
whereupon he f. thwith began to swal-
low it; then by raising and lowering his
head, swallowing as the head bent for
ward each time, he stripped off the skin
underneath until il came to his forelegs.
At this stage OF the curious proceed
ings he grasped one OF the forelegs with
the opposite paw, and by much pulling
stripped of the skin; changing hands.
he stripped the other. and by slight
motion Of the head, all the time swal-
lowing, be drew it from the neck and
swallowed the whole. The entire op-
Grafton occupied but few minutes.
