Ki Nobls, curator of re and na at the Americar Muscum of Natural History. Thousands of persons who visit ¢ muscum—most of them are | from out of town—apparently still icve that toads give warts, that they can live for indefinite periods without air or foed and that they are poisonous te 'he touch. Marm- less snikes cven worse repu- tations Traditions hand 1ous ar ha csponsible for this mia- information, Dr. Noble points on. Long ago the garden toad and the { eaqnally doeils non-poisonous serpent | were cradited with being | tions of evil, and the superstitio woven around them are hard to dis- pel. “Many of the yarns nhout snakes i are reflected in the popular names given to various specics,” observes 2 zoolozist. “The hoop snake. the 1k gnake and the whip s examples. e are can put it il in the form of a I b 3 ¥ peopls in the sout ! where the hoop snake livea believe | that it can do such a trick. As a | matter of fact he is quite harmless | and not at all aggressive. { “The whip enake is ofen id to new famous horned toad—a species , of lizard-—that is said to have lived tor more than 30 vears {n a corncr- stone in Eastland, Texa It is hlologically tmpossible for a | vertebrate mal to live without oxygen,” says Dr. Nobla ome | creatures, notably the lower worms, | generate oxvgen in thelr own hodies, but this supply is not large enough tto allow them to exist in the ground | for long periods with access to air. | When a toad is found alive in a rock pocket it is safe to assume that he has been getting air from a crevice. To test the popular bellef that these creatures could live indefinite- {1y without oxygen, a British zeo. logist sealed 12 toads in separte limestone. Another dozen were : | prisoned in dense sandstone. After | 54 weeks the blocks wera unsealed. | The toads in the porous blocks were emaciated but alive, for enovgh {oxyvgen and meisture had seeped !through the coarse stone to susta life, The dozen in the fin stone were dead. sand- |Lindbergh to Invite Congressmen to Ride Washington, March 15 (P — Coloncl Charles A.
