There is a similar tenacity of life in certain of the humbler animals, it is affirmed that living iieseett have been found within the bodies of Egypti`a% . mummies ; and the statement may be reeeived with little hesitation, when we know that, .on'the - opening of the stone coffin of King John in %yorcester ca thedral, lava! were discovered in the body, with one of which an.angler bait ed his hoiik and caught a fish.

Franklin from the Copper mine river)pll revive on being gradually thawed. Spallanzani kept frogs, sala manders, and ,snakie, in an 'ice-house for three years "and a half, and they readily returned-to life When exposed tr the influence of a warm atmosphere. On this -subject the following extract 'from the Biblothegt u eUniverselle (1840) emits author r itive:*• In the - Winter-cif 'lB2B-9 in Ireland, Oamiard found 'that loads could. be completely frozen, so that iee•-lav in small between their muscles, their bodies became quite hard , stiff and motionless, broke easily, land Wicked( any effuSion of blood, thaOri,sliort, every trace' of life disap-, 'teared, and -yet. in ten or twelve ini- nutes thercouldbe, revived by immers litg therit in verytsfighly Warmed water. If they Were not quickly frozen they did riot revive." When we find such to be the case, 'the credulity Which has been shown' with regard ; to the many . reported instances of toad's; found pos sessed, of life in sandstance strata where they must have been eiftorned for ages. appears to rest on -no, good foundation. some of these instances have been well authenticated ; and there is no difficulty in siippo. , Fing that, if life, will continue three and a half years in a frozen ani mal, it may last indefinitely: Probably the toad was dormant or frozen.'When enclosed. And being excluded from the atmosphere;the, prolongation of its life Might be simply owing to the im possibility of any reviving influence 'ever reaching it; so that• iii fact, there was no necessary end to its existence in such circumstances: The hardy vi tality of these creatures, 'arid the others mentioned above, is obviously connec ted with that languorof the circulation which makes their respiration so slow. St. Hilaire, a first rate authority on such subjects, thinks there may exist, fur such-creatures, "a state of neutrali ty- intermediate between life and death —a state into _which . certain animals are . plunged, in consequence: of the, stoppage of respiration, when it takes place under certain cireumstances. The want of food is obviously a con-I sidetation of not the least moment,: When there is a complete toispension of that process of waste which food is re- . quired to supply. With regard to the; .preservation Of vitality in seeds, nothing is required for it but a continuation of the organic character of the seed. The suspension of vital action in them' de pends, says Dr. Carpenter, "on their not being submitted to any of the agents which would call them into activity, or which would tend to disintegrate their structure."
