the toad Is not of economic import anee because he cant fly.
 A report of the investigation Of toad fife by the Survey however, does disclose one trait of value In tho rain-maker'-- he Is evidently not . busy-body for we read'
 "Toads go constantly about their own work of gaining a livelihood, and 50, undoubtedly, HI their proper places in nature. They are not very numerous in one locality however, and as they cannot adopt the meth ods Of birds and traverse wide stretches Of land to aid in combating abnormal local increases of crop ana garden pests, their influence is not strongly felt"
 The investigation showed that tho toad performs some service In such places as greenhouses. gardens. fields of small grain and golf courses, Any harm that toads do in the consump- tion of beneficial beetles and other insects useful to man Is of little eco- homie importance and does not war rant their indiscriminate destruction.

Horse Dives Into River
 And SWims for 36 Hours

Boston, Dec. 1.-A, Boston horse whose usual task is to draw a. news paper delivery wagon, was rescued from the Charles River late yesterday after it had qualified as a long dis tance swimmer by spending 36 hours in the water. The horse was still swimming when found. It was taken to an animal hospital to recover from a bad chill.
 Early Wednesday morning as its wagon was standing at the North Station the horse made a dash for freedom, going through the train yards and finally diving through drawbrdge over the Charles river, leaving wagon and cargo jammed be- tween the rails. The harbor police searched in vain for the apimal. Late yesterday a watchman saw the horse swim from under a pier and make for the open sea. stern chase in dory followed and the swimmer was roped and lowed ashore.

this morning. The city began the
process several weeks go when the

the department is undermined.
In view OF this and the fact that in

for It's own education and pleasure

1T seems that under the inspira-
