Toads, as pets, will eat fruit or vegetables. But toads in the garden, as insect eaters, should be valued for their role in pest-control! WHERE THEY LIVE : Toads are native to most of the major landmasses of the world except Greenland, Australia, New Guinea, New Zealand, Madagascar, and of course, the polar regions.
Radium, Minnesota. Radium is a ghost town in section 19 of Comstock Township, Marshall County, Minnesota, United States. It was built alongside the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie Railroad (Soo Line Railroad) branch line built in 1905 from Thief River Falls, Minnesota, to Kenmare, North Dakota. (This line still operates under the aegis of the Northern Plains Railroad.) The place was named for the element radium.
Radium in Drinking Water. Radium occurs naturally in our environment. It is a natural component of underground rock and soil, and it can work its way into ground water. As a result, radium has been found in some Minnesota community water supplies in quantities that exceed the drinking water standard. This fact sheet addresses questions on the regulations, health effects, and options that communities have to address the issue of radium in drinking water.
