head Of the Lancasters. however, was
hardly successful and King Richard,

motion without any loss Of weight or

do the same thing? One single grain
Of musk (this has been demonstrated)
will scent for several years a room
twelve feet square, and in the end the

inch at least must have It's little mole.

rcADs FOUND IN ROCKS.

Their Presence There.
"Amazlngl" said a scientist. rs the
popularity Of the belief that toads live
for long spaces Of time In rocks. Only
last week a Quarryman sent to me
toad that he had found imbedded, be
said, in a solid block OF stone OF
course there Is no truth in the idea
that these reptiles can exist shut up
for years without food and air. but
there Is truth In the stories OF their
being found In rocks. The rocks,
though, are not solid, as the finders
incline to think, and the toada have
only been in them, It Is probable, for
. few hours instead Of for years and
years. Toads, you see, take naturally

rocks or trees. A Quarryman or a
lumberman breaks into q rock or q
tree, finds a live toad imbedded and
thinks the reptile has been there
since time began. As q matter Of

there through a little passage Of some
sort, but the passage is so we'll con-
cealed that the eyes OF the man have
