Toads. Tadpoles and Frogs.

IOaOS, IdupOICS dAo = AS6Se
Two ladies while watching some tad
poles in bucket carried on something
like the following conversations:
aDo you See that big one there? His
legs are developed. he will soon lose his
tall" "Yes. Isn't it queer? He is al.
most frog" "Do you that he will be a
frog? My husband thinks that one will
become toad when he loses his tall
Then both ladies examined his tadpole.
ship and wondered. "Do tadpoles ever
change to toads; are baby toads like
tadpoles, etc.,"
Stranger to say neither knew. They
asked the opinion of various grown up
men and women and learned nothing on
" that there were others who had seen
these common little animals all their
lives and still could tell nothing of their
origin. All were somewhat astonished at
their ignorance of things go common.
Let us satisfy ourselves by looking for
an answer to the question of baby frogs
and toads. Come with me and we will
go over the ground together.
Beginning with polliwog We find that
Webster does not sanction such word
but spells it polliwig and refers us to tad
pole. When we find this word We come
to the conclusion that there were other
people who believed that tadpoles are
young toads, for the word sounds from
two words, one taddie an Old English
word, which is now toad, and the other a
Latin word, which means a young ami
NAL. But we are referred again to Bat
richid and thence to Amphibia, which is
the family name. How interesting that
word Amphibia is. 1t gives us an in
sight into the life of our subject, at once,
by it's formation. It is made from other
words which mean living double life.
The tadpole you know lives entirely in
the water while the frog look for frog
in Dictionary lives both on land and in
the water; then too we find that their
food and structure changes so that in
that regard they live double life.
Here is clipping from the Washing
ton Star which tells MS of this double life,
and next week we will look in the CYCLIC
pedia on the subject toads. tad poles
and frogs.
The toad is higher animal than the
frog, because it gives birth directly to
little air air breathing toads, whereas
the frog lays eggs that produces fshlike
tadpoles, subsequently transformed into
the final shape. The tadpole breathes
through gills like fish, has tail and no
legs, and is an average feeder The meta
1t undergoes is one of the most
marvellous things in nature. If it were
not so common it would astonish the
world. Think of vegetable eating fish
with tail and gills turning into an air
breathing land animal, developing teeth
and becoming carnivorous quadruped.
Isn't it amazing when you come to con-
slider it? A wonderful beast is the frog,
