M,k,N, FVs sFcOND TERM

COLUMBUS, o, Jan S-Governor Nc
Kiuley's inauguration today for second
term as chief executive of ONO was, as
usual, when general local interest is man
ifested in such affairs, more of a social
than a political event. Many Democrats
of state or national reputation, who are
leaders in their respective professional and
business lines. were conspicuous in the
ceremonies These courtesies regardless
of party probably began with the inaug-
uration of the late William Allen, and
have been continued without exception
ever since. 1t was. perhaps, on that ac-
count that Governor Mckinley refrained
from touching especially upon political
topics. Some of his political friends were
of the opinion that he ought to 10 have
spoken directly upon political affairs of
national Importance, but the governor de-
clded to do otherwise. The inauguration
proper was held in the capitol building
this morning. After the divine blessing
had been invoked, the governor was sworn
into office by Chief Justine Bradbury OF
the supreme court. The governor then
delivered his speech.

Toad Superstitions.

Expectations as to toads having been early inculcated, it has been exceeding ly difficult to get rid of them. Ono rem. nant of this ancient credulity still ex
 ists. It is ill regard to the absolute inn perishable character of the toad There are we'll educated Americans who be- heve that toad hops out alive from q slab of stone, though ho has been im- prisoned there for several millions of years. We give in brief Dr. Buelland' s experiments with toads i'll 1895. He took 12 toads and had the toads put Ill 12 cells cut in sandstone, and over these he put plates of glass. They were bur jed in a garden for over year. When exhumed, they were all dead. Then some were put in porous sandstone, and at tho end of year a few were found greatly emaciated. When buried for another year, they all died. Toads were incloscd i'll wood, and they all died. The conclusion is that, deprived of at. mosphere or without food, toads must die. If toad as a tadpole could have entered crevice in rock, it might have grown, but would have died in
