Extract

There are few things in nature quite so remarkable as the hibernation of insects and animals in a torpid condition. That life should still persist when animationis reduced so low, as must necessarily be the case, with these small creatures in close contact with frozen substances or even imbedded in solid ice, would be quite incredible, were there not so many instances which can be examined by those who wish to do so, every day throughout our long and cold winters.
