Stories of toads inclosed in SOLID rock
are not at all uncommon. out of all
the reported cases not one mas ever
been substantiated When investigated
1t is found that they are made-up
stories or that there was no toad OF
no rock, or that there was a way for
him to get in or get out. People who
find toads in solid rock must under
stand that it is an important matter.
If ever there is one single case verlhed
beyond dispute of finding toad or any
other living animal in an absolutely
solid rock the science of geology VIII

doctrine of evolution Will crumble 10
airy nothings. Half of the exact sci
ences will have to be reorganlZed on an
entirely new basis Accumulated hu-
man knowledge will have to be revised
from the bottom, and most Of what is
so called rejected entirely. So the man
that finds the toad had better be pretty
sure that it is toad ir solid rock,
and while he is about it he had better
have witnesses and photographs ana
everything possible to be had in proof
of his assertion for it will be doubted.
If he proves his case, no man ever

Fondness for Warm Houses.

House heating practice in Great Brit
ain, when compared with that current
in America exhibits great differences
in style of apparatus employed, in the
systems in favor, and in the extent to
which the development itself has pro-
ceeded
Some of the reasons, at least. are
very apparent. In a large portion of
the United States, and throughout Can
ada, the winter climate is such that
some artificial heat, over and above
that obtainable from an open fire, is
absolutely necessary in Great Britain,
however, the old-fashioned open fire
place is, as rule. sufficient, or, at least,
has been so considered until very re-
Gently. Within the last few years there
has been a growing appreciation, among
the British people, of the comfort and
advantage of maintaining an even tenn
perature throughout an entire building,
whether this be a dwelling or school,
church, office building, or other quasi
public edifice. Indeed, even in private
dwellings, where it is most attractive
and most nearly adequate, the open
fire, if depended on entirely, too often
gives one the choice between being
partly roasted if he sits near, or shiv-
ering, if he moves to the corners of the
room or passes to the halls and stair
cases.
While the severity of the American
climate has been of itself sufficient to
cause the great demand for heating ap-
paratus, there is at least a general be-
lief that the climatic effect on the
human system creates a greater de-
pendence on artificial warmth among
Americans than among Englishmen.
The blood seems to become thinner. 1t
was my own experience that, when /
first went to America, l could well en-
dure the cold, and the temperature of
20 degrees usually maintained in build
ings there was far too warm for me.
As years went by, I grew more and
more sensitive to the cold, and, on re-
turning to England, 7 felt the temper
atrue of 60 degrees maintained in Eng
lish houses quite too low; but in a
short time I became reacclimated.-J.

The real question just now is the ex-

that contingency, they fail to come to
