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 is a silvery-white metal. It is highly radioactive and its decay product, radon gas, is also radioactive. One result of radiumâs intense radioactivity is that the metal and its compounds glow in the dark. When it is exposed to air, it reacts with nitrogen to quickly form a black coating of radium nitride.iscovery of Radium. Radium was discovered in 1898 in Paris, by Marie S. Curie and her husband Pierre in pitchblende (mainly uranium dioxide, UO 2).
