A Prog, But No Affidavit,
SAID TO HAVE DEEM FOUND LIV1NO IN
THE CENTER OK A LUMP OF COAL.
A Wilkesbarre miner while at work
the other day made a wonderful dis
covery of a large and well formed frog
in a mass of anthracite coal blr.sted
from a chamber 300 feet below the
surface in Simpson & Watkm's Mount
Lookout Colliery at Wyoming.
The discoverer of the rare
curiosity is Joseph Johns. He was
timbering with another miner James
Otts, in a tunnel in the mine and had
barred down a large lump of coal
when the eleam of lieht from his
lamp fell upon something in the coal.
He stooped down and touched the ob
ject and was surprised to find it soft
and yielding. There was about asquart
inch of surface exposed at the time
and he saw that the thing, whatever it
was, wis in a cavity. With his pick
he very carefully chipped off the coal
all around it until the cavity or
chamber was fully opened, and there '
nestling in the hard coal he found a
fr0og-
Some seventeen years ago while
working in the mines, he made a
similar discovery and had then taken
the frog in his hand, shown it to his
brother miners and taken it home.
But while it was alive and warm
when he found it, it died before it had
been exposed to the air half an hour.
At that time a scientist had told him
that if he had enclosed the frog in an
air-tight compartment immediately
after unearthing it the animal might
have lived.
When he made his second dis
covery on Wednesday this fact at once
recurred to his mind and as soon as
he had recovered from his surprise
and realized what he had found, he
ran to his dinner pail and got an air
tight fruit jar in which he had brought
the tea for his lunch. Into this he
put the frog and closed the lid tightly,
excluding oil the air and the jar has
not since been opened.
The frog at first showed no signs of
lite, although it was warm, but after
being in the jar about six hours it be
gan to move, and when it had been
exposed to the light ten hours, it was
quite as lively as any specimen which
can be found around the ponnd in
Summer. Since then it has continued
to be fully wide-awake and stares in
wonder at all who look at it.
In appearance it is not very differ
ent from an every-day frog,except that
its back is nearly black and there are
two rows of little hilly protuberances
down each side of its spine. Its legs
also are peculiarly long and its feet
very delicate and tender.
The Advertising.
Of Hood's SarsaparilU is always with
in the hound ot reason because it is
truei it always appeals to the sober,
common sense of thinking people b
cause it is true; and it is always fully
substantiated by endorsements which,
in the financial world would be ac
cepted without a moment's hesitation.
For general family cathartic we con
fidently recommend Hooa's Pills.
