How a Frog Hibernates.

According to Simon Henry Sage, the
frog does not hibernate in leaves or the
trunks of trees, but in dry hole in the
ground not likely to freeze. He scratches
the hole with his hind feet and enters
backward. Once inside, there is appar-
emily no trace of the fact outside. Frogs
found under frozen leaves are still able
to move about Mr.. Sage has found
alternating frogs with their extseInities
and skin frozen, but their vital organs
were still intact, and they recovered
their activity on being liberated. LON
