TOaD became PET
Lived for Thirty-Six Years With
French Family.
title Creature Soon Lost All Fear OF
Mankind and Furnished AmuSe-
ment to Its Protectors.

There was q wise old toad that llFeC
FOR more than thirty-siX years III Il
hole beneath the doorstep of French
farmhouse. How old it was when hrSt
noticed no enc could say, but It had
probably lived for long time before
familiarity with the sight of man Elm
boIdened it to rest TRANQUILITY on the
doorstep over which persons were con-
stautly passing.
The step became the batrachian's
hunting ground, where, with little
trouble, it might capture the ants
which persisted in crossing and re-
crossing il. The toad, hunting for
its supper, came to be regarded as
. one OF the sights of the neighborhood,
and certainly the Skilful manner III
which ii used its wonderfully formed
tongue entitled it to be ranked as an
expert among hunters.
For one thing. it showed wonderful
skill in judging distance; the tongue
was never darted out until the insec:
came within Il certain range. The ac-
curacy of the creatures aim was an
other matter for surprise. The in
sects were generally in motion when
the iougue was darted against them,
but the arrow never failed to hit its
mark.
The rapidity with which the tongue
was shot forth excited much wonder.
The operation is Il complex one. The
tongue is doubled or rolled up when
in the mouth; therefore a twofOld
action is required an uncoiling of the
weapon, and then the darting of it
forth.
The Withdrawing Of the tongue, with
The captured insect on the top. was
not less remarkable. Notwithstanding
the rapid motion, the fineneSS Of the
tongue tip and the struggles of the
prey the victim was never dropped.
The toad was so tame that it might
rightly be called dOncSticated. II
would remain quietly in one hand aud
take its food from the other, provided
Il leaf. was placed on the hand which
held it. Without this precaution the
warmth Of the human hand was evi-
IDENTIFY annoying and uncomfortable
20 the chilly little fellow.
Few things seemed to please it more
,han to lie placed on table in the
evening when the lamp was lighted.
II would look around with the great
est confidence in its cleaning eye and
when insects were placed OH the table
it snapped them up with even greater
rapidty than in its day huntings.
In this way the toad lived for thir.
ty-SiX years, the pet of the ncishbor-
hood. 1t might have lived many years
more had not tame but spiteful
avcu peckcd out one of it's eyes.
