appearance, and soon after the tadpole--or
rather young toad-is able to leave the water,
and seek for food among the weeds and
rushes, where it feeds on insects. larvae and
other small fry.
During its growth, the toad changes It's
skin several times, which peels on IN long
shreds which it is afterward said to de-
vour. - -,
A long slit appears down the back, which
gradually lengthens, and underneath may be
seen the new skin, of much lighter color.
While changing, the animal pours foItn IA
ent parts of the body, which materially helps
Il in getting rid Of the old skin-in fact, It Is
streaming with moisture, and very unpieasahs
to touch. =
Il is curious fact that toads seem especi,,
ally to dislike dirty or soiled SKIN, ana 1d
dress, they at once proceed to some secluded
spot and change it for new one
The eyes of toad are very curious from
the way they are placed in the head, as they
are not set in an orbit, but framed round, as as
it were, with bone, as you may see py tne
large cavities In the skull. :,
IL the mouth be opened, the eyeballs may
BE- seen completely bare and penetrating some
distance into the interior.
Like the newt. the eyes are protected with
a third eyelid. called the mctitating mem
brane.
The parotid glands, one Of which is behind
each eye, are long glands formed by a pro-
tuberance of the skin. which IN most toads
Is well developed and can easily be seen.
These glands serve as weapons of defense,
and on excitement they pour cut watery
humor of very acrid taste, SO much so that a
dog which has taken toad in its mouth will
soon drop it. as it causes the animal to foam
copiousy at the mouth.
Care should be taken that, this fluid does
not get into the eye, as the pain it causes is
intense.
The great warty newt has, believe, a
similar gland. though much smaller.
In their wild state the toads make their
homes in messy banks, or under stones. where
they remain during the summer months, liv-
ing on different kinds of flies. beetles and
worms.
Toward evening, and after rain, they may
be seen in numbers crawling about the road
side, where a plentiful supply of provisions
abound.
Their mode of capturing their prey is very
curious. As soon as the toad sees its victim
it crawls stealthily up to it, raising the body,
and lifting one leg up after another, with
great deal of deliberation.
When close up to its quarry. the head is

was the making of beads of all kinds and
colors
This bead-making has survived to this day,
but lately Murano has again begun to pro-
duce beautiful vases in imitation of those
of the sixteenth century. and the modern
copies yield in no respect to the old originals
in beauty of form and color.
Even the strange forms of the old vases
have been successfully initiated, and both
forms and colors are very varied. We have,
besides. clear white glass; blue, purple, green,
amber, ruby and semi-transparent opal white,
the most beautiful of all.
There is also clear glass, covered with the
most delicate network of gold or milk-white
of precious stones, such as jasper, chalcedony
and lapis-lazul including the kind called
'MiIle fori' (the thousand fowersl
This is an. opaque glass, sometimes with a
over with tiny aowery spots of all sorts Of
colors This latter kind may. be considered
as a direct descendant of the magnificent
cups and vases which the ancient Romans
priced above silver and gold, and deemed
worthy to be buried in imperial tombs.
OF course, many of these modern vases can
only be considered in the light of ornaments,
and very exquisite ornaments they are. But
there are useful articles in Venetian glass
wine-glasses dotted with tiny colored beads
like Jewels, tumblers of the lovely milky
opal hue. and fat dishes Of the speckled gold

haps the best of all. and it is of these that
the wondrous tales are told that they had the
quality of changing color and breaking if
poison was poured into them--an invaluable
quality at the banduets of princes in the
treacherous times when the Venetian glass
workers made their great and deserved repu-
tation. which has beer, amply sustained by
the shapes and images their descendants have
brought again before us within the last few
years.

suddenly thrust forward, the tongue flashes
out like lightning and the insect disappears
with a sound resembling a metallic "click." ="
Although the throat is. comparatively speak
ing, rather small. it is capable of great dis
tention, for large roach is swallowed as
easily as fly, and although the stomach IS
by no means capacious, / have seen one OF
my toads swallow ten large reaches in the
same number of minutes, and apparently
feel none the worse for the meal.
On the approach of winter the toad buries
itself in, the ground or in the hollow of some
tree, where it remains in a state of torpor
until the warm weather comes again.
If you wish to add toad to your collection
or rather toads, for it is better to have
severai.you several have only to hunt in q, vegetable
difficulty in finding half a dozen or so crawl
ing about in search of food.
Falling in this, however, a walk along
country. lane in the evening" especially after
rain. will generally prove successful, as toads
usually come out to feed about that time.
Take covered basket with you, half filled
with moss in which the toads can be safely
kept till you get home.
A useful toad case can be made of an
oblong box, with a glass front and door at
to slide up and down in a groove, so that it
may be taken out and cleaned.
The bottom of the case should be filled
with thick layer of moss, in which a large
f1ower-pot saucer may be imbedded at one
side, to serve the double purpose of drinking
trough and bath for the inmates; Some
large tufts of grass may be added, which
will give a pretty effect; or. if you like,
some young ferns.
A case of this description is easily made
and will be found admirably adapted for your
pet. They will burrow under the moss and
make cozy nests, where they will remain
very quiet for a time; but put roach into
the case and see how quickly affairs change.
As soon as the presence of the insect is
discovered, the toads Immediately begin to
show signs of vivid interest, to watch a
short time before they appeared to be
strangers
They raise their bodies high up on their
legs, stretch out their heads and regard their
intended victim with most ludicrous stare.
The insect, too, seems conscious of its dan
ger and remains perfectly motionless for
some time during which the toads have
crawled up quite close and are preparing for
action.
At last the moment has come. The un-
wary insect, thinking perhaps (if reaches
can think that all danger is past makes a
slight movement to survey the field. before
beating retreat
Los Angeles herald., 1908-06-07

That movement is fatal. Before it can re-
cover Its former position. two or three Shiny
tongues fash out SO quickly that the motion
IS scarcely perceptible to the eye, and the
the lucky marksman, curious "click" tell
ing the onlookers that the business has been
satisfactorily disposed Of
1t is truly wonderful to see the number of
reaches that toads will devour. | have put
fifty in small case containing six of these
6atrachlans, and. with the exception of
few little ones which had hidden under the
moss, the whole had disappeared before the
next day.
They will also eat crickets, flies worms and
grubs, and you will find good part of your
time taken, up in hunting for food sufficient
to satisfy the cravings Of your hungry pets.

as they feel inclined, dropping in an occa.
sional worm now and then in the course of
the day for change
1t is important that the water in the saucer
should be changed daily and fresh added, as,
during the summer. the toads frequently sit
for some time in the water
Fresh tufts of grass and small plants may
be added to the case from time to time, in
which the toads can forage for provisions.
After short time they will begin to recog-
nize you, and regard you in the light of
friend. and will make no attempt to crawl
away when you open the case but will al
low you to pat their heads, which they seem
rather to enjoy, or will take worm from
your hand.
Toads show a wonderful amount of in
stinct A gentleman told me few days ago
that he once threw the body of bird he was
skinnlng on some grass, and soon after two
toads made their appearance and sat per
ifectly motionless on each side of the body
for some time.
Wishing to see what they intended doing,
he watched them carefully. After some
time, the flies, attracted by the smell, set
tied on the carrion and were Immediately
picked off by the vigilant toads.
There was popular idea in the dark ages
that the toad had a jewel secreted in his
head, which it was forced to part with on
being placed on a piece of red cloth, but i'm
medatey swallowed again.
The most curious of all tales in connection
with the toad is that of their being found,
embedded in masses of stone unearthed from
dreds of feet below the soil What gave rise
to this belief it is hard to say, except, per-
haps that the animal had found hole among
the stones into which is had crept for the
winter, and from which it had been roughly
elected on the removal of the stone. The
stories of their being found in marble man
telpieces, and other equally unlikely places,
must be taken with considerable allowance.
Numerous instances of the kind are on rec
ord but unfortunately, the discovery of these
toads has been generally made by unscientific
worthy observations as to the places in which
they have been found. When air is not who'll
ly excluded. they are doubtless capable of
living for a long time in a dormant state,
but such existence could not extend over
many years.

one hundred and fifty to four hundred pounds

To the farmer seaweed is very valuable,
because it contains soda. Spread upon the
ground and allowed to decay, it enriches the
earth to remarkable extent. On many parts
of the seacoast, seaweed is the only fertiliz-
er used, and answers every purpose.
Seaweed is also eatable-that is, certain
kinds, such as dulce, tangle and some species
OF sargassum. None of this edible seaweed
is found on our coasts, however.
1t contains large quantities of gelatinous
matter, and is said to be both nourishing ard
appetizing, although the salt fish taste Is re-
pulsive to great many people.
To the botanist, seaweed is constant
source of delightful study, and the various
species, under a powerful microscope, reveal
many interesting and sometimes startling
phases of plant life,
On the seashore it is not necessary to hunt
for specimens; they. present themselves with
out any trouble, and deserve better treat
ment than to be passed by in silent con-

exhausted, the seaweed student may take

~ HE young person from the city who
will wander along the seashore will
" find it difficult to realize that every
thing is created for good purpose
while contemplating seaweed. Its only pur-
pose seems to be to cumber up the beach and
tangle up the legs of the bathers in the surf.
The ordinary city visitor would not give a
cent ton for the stuff.
But it has its uses-not one, but many. In
the first place there are about five hundred
species of seaweed, some growing to length
Of fifteen hundred feet, while others are so
minute as to be scarcely visible, and oil
species have distinct value.
One of the most important perhaps is the
production of iodine. Nearly all seaweed
contains this medicinal product in consider
able quantities in addition to several others.
Twenty tons of seaweed dried and burned
at a low heat yields one ton of "kelp"-a
hard, dark gray or blush mass, with an
acrid, caustic taste.
A ton of good kelp in turn viii yield cigat
pounds Of iodine, large. quantities OF chloride
OF potassium, four to ten gallons Of volatile
oil, from four to fifteen gallons of paraffine
oil, three or four gallons Of naptha and from
