sources of FOOD rcauacitatcd several
years nftcrward. The question pre-
sents one Of the most curious problems
that biological science has been called
on to explain. The longevity and vital
resistance Of toads arc surprising. Be-
sides tho experiments wo have cited,
nature sometimes presents some slrcady
made, and vastly more astonishing.
Toads arc said to have been found in

would be us unreasonable to doubt
them as to believe in some of tho mirac-
