Toad Superstitions.
Superstitions as to toads having been
early inculcated. It has been exceed
ingly difficult to get rid of them. One
remnant of this ancient credulity still
exists. It is in ^pgard to the absolute
Imperishable character of the toad.
There are well educated Americans
who believe that a toad bops out alive
from a slab of stone though he has
been imprisoned there for several mil
lions of years. We give in brief Dr.
Buckland's experiments with toads in
1825. He took twelve toads and bad
the toads put In twelve cells cut in
Sandstone, and over these he put plates
•f glass. They were buried in a gar
den for over a year. When exhumed
they were all dead. Then some were
put in porous sandstone, and at the
end of a year a few were found "great
ly emaciated.” When buried for an
other year, they all died. Toads were
Inclosed in wood, and they all died.
The conclusion is that, deprived of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If a toad as a tadpole could have
entered a crevice in a rock, it might
have grown, but would have died in
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is sff ineradicable that It
is supposable it never can be dissi
pated.
Pellisson’» Little Adventure.
Pellisson, the famous French histo
rian, was frightfully ugly. One day as
he was walking down the street a
beautiful lady took him by the hand
and conducted him Into a house close
by. Dazzled by the lady's charms and
flattering himself that this adventure
could not possibly entail any unpleas
ant consequences, be bad not the
strength to offer any resistance. His
fair captor introduced him to the mas
ter of the house, saying:
“Line for line, exactly like this,”
whereupon she took her departure.
Pellisson. on recovering from his as
tonishment, demanded .an explanation.
The master of the bouse, after sundry
apologies, confessed that he was a
painter.
“I have undertaken,” he added, “to
supply the lady with a picture of the
Temptation In the Wilderness.’ We
have been debating for a couple of
hours as to the mode of representing
the tempter, and she ended by saying
that she wished me to take you for a
model.”—Revue Anecdotlque.
The Judge Sinned Too.
Wirt Gerrare, In bis volume on
“Greater Russia.” says that in the
czar’s country one may not call an-
other a fool. There is a Scriptural in
junction against that, and Jt is conse
quently a legal offense too. Not long
ago a “Tint” player called his partner
a fool for needlessly trumping their
trick. The offended man brought his
accuser before the court The culprit
pleaded provocation and, knowing that
the judge was a passionate follower of
the national game, explained the mat
ter in detail. The Judge became inter
ested and got excited as the particulars
of the play were given. “I topk the
trick with my queen, and, instead of
throwing away, my partner played the
king!” shouted the accuser. “The fool!”
said the Judge. Then be hastily dls-
missed the case.

Greenland's ¿laciers.
Nearly all the Greenland glaciers and
tongues from the internal ice cap ter
minate in vertical faces from 100 to
1,000 feet high, presenting facilities for
investigation. The vertical faces reveal
pronounced stratification on the basal
ice, even earth materials In the bases
carried by the ice being arranged In
layers. Fine laminations were seen
twelve or twenty to an inch. The lay
ers are sometimes twisted and con
torted and even "shoved” over each
