The poisonous properties of the toad
have long been regarded as fabulous;
but recent investigation has proved
that the skin of a species of toad Sc
cretes poison similar in action to digi-
tails. The venom Of the toad has had
the reputation Of possessing poisonous
properties from very early period and
was probably one of the earliest forms
Of animal poison known. The old ira
dition that King John was poisoned by
a friar who dropped a toad into his
wine was regarded as q ridiculous ia
bic until some years ago, when it was
discovered that the skin of the toad
secretes body the active principle of
which 'phrynin," is poison of consld-
cradle power.
Nature Notes mentions q curious Incl.
dent which was witnessed at Belper, q
small town not far from Derby, Eng
land. Late one afternoon three rats
were seen crossing yard from the d.
recrion Of the fowlhouse. One rat had
a hens egg between its fore legs and
Its mouth and was being carried by the
other two, one at each end; that Is, they
were carrying in their mouths the other
rat with it's back downward. A day OF
two afterward the correspondent heard
Squealing noise in the fowlhouse,
more Ink" that of child than that OF
rat, so he opened the door and there
was rat on his back, with the egg as
before 1,enlioned. and two others en-.
deavoring to raise him and take him
away.

Big Job Of Engineering Undertaken

In accordance with the policy recon.

West.
One of the greatest engineering feats
of modern times Is already under way.
The Gunnison river in Colorado Is to
be diverted frorR its course through a
slx-mile tunnel so that the stream shall
irrigate the Uncompahgre valley. 1t
will cost $1,O0000O.
The result will be that whole farm.
ing community will be reclaimed and
a fertile district, now parched and dry
for lack of water, will once more bios
som as the rose.
When the Uncompahgre valley was
settled a few years ago, abundant irri'
cation was supplied by the Uncom'
pahgre river, but the cutting of the
timber since then has caused the
stream to shrink to tiny creek. AS n
consequence the farms were deserted
and the value of the land sank to al
most nothing. Now, with the promise
of new water supply, the land has
fairly leaped in price, and some of il
is now held as high as $500 an acre.
The work preliminary to starting the
big tunnel has just been completed by
the United States Geographical sur
vey.
1t involved trip across the Black
canyon of the Gunnlson, district
never before explored in It's entirety by
white men. A few years ago n party
of explorers made the attempt, but they
had gone only short distance, when
they lost all their boats and supplies
and barely escaped with their lives.
Before setting out the government
employees planned to have provisions
owered to them by ropes from above.
} they started with as light an equip,
ment as possible, only their surveyors
instruments, camera, and a few nee.
essary articles. 1t took them ten days
to traverse the ten miles of their jour.
