family tapping on the door, At for
tunately, Thomas Kyle, a special Of
fjcer Of the railroad, paused while
walking down the track to rest few
seconds. He heard the tapping, called
the conductor and other members OF
the train crew and the door of the car
was forced open. Patrick staggered
into view in a shower of oats. He
could not stand. But he was con-
scious. He was given water to drink
and stimulant and then was able to
tell of his adventure.

skin is protective neither 1t nor any
other act of the toad produces warts.
The food habits Of the toad can be
easily tested by keeping them in the
yard or garden and feeding them in
the evening. They feed at night, ana
are not at all wild after being handled
few times
In feeding them, only live insects
should be used, and when placed near
the toad, insects disappear as il by
magic.
The toad's tongue is fastened in the
front part OF it's mouth and loose be-

masses of eggs which toads and frogs
lay.
These arc always deposited in the
water. The frogs eggs are in a mass
and the toad's in long string; both
are covered by jelly-lilIe coat, which
swells up and makes the mass OF eggs
frequently larger than the parent.
This covering probably protects the
eggs from being eaten and also serves
to retain the heat Of the suns rays.
The rate of growth of the egg de-
pends upon the temperature, but in a
few days the young tadpoles come out
OF the eggs remaining attached, how
ever, to the masses of jelly or to ad-
1acent vegetation.
The metamorphosis OF toads and
frogs is one of the most marvellous
processes In nature and gives us a
hint how other animals that now al
ways live on land once came out of
the water, for all land animals show
evidence Of having descended from
water animals.

Protect the toad. Teach the thought

harmless, useful animal.
The frogs and toads, like many ami
mails that are unable to defend them
selves with teeth or claws, and are
slow OF foot and at the same time
make a tempting morsal for almost
any fiesh-eating animal, rely to some
extent ut least on protective colora-
ton.
That is. they may seek surround
ings in which their permanent color
is inconspicuous or. as in the case or
the frog and toad, they may in addi-
ton change their color to suit the sur
roundfngs.
If you examine toad particularly,
or even frog, you will see several
colors, such as red, yellow and brown
shading into black.
The intensity Of these colors and
the amount of surface covered by
them varies, so that the effect of the
blended colors varies considerably.
An interesting experiment for a
young naturalist consists in placing
frogs, particularly the tree frogs, on a
green, brown or gray background to
see to what extent they will assume
the color of their surroundings.
