SITTING BULL.FROG.
A Frog Many Hundreds of Years
Old and Yet Alive.

Naturalists have made many curious
discoveries during geological investiga-
tons, but a discovery was made on
Madison street this forenoon which calls
for the attention and investigation Of
scientists. The city street force was re-
moving paving rork from the levee at
the foot Of Madison street. One of the
beulders had to be broken in half and
on applying the hammer it hurst open.
On one half appeared an oval cavity
some six inches 10 diameter, and this
cavity was half full of water. Assistant
City Engineer Murray put his finger
down in the water and withdrew it sud
denly, as he felt something move at the
bottom. Making the orifce larger a
live frog leaped out Of the little lake
that had for 30 many years lay
entombed in the rock.ribbed ave
The rock is Of blue limestone, brought
from the Ohio river, and it has been in
use as a paving stone on the landing for
nearly fifteen years. The upper face of
the rock has been worn smooth from the
constant wear of dray wheels. The ques-
tons are, how long was that frog in that
rock tomb2 and was it possible that it
could live and grow therein without light
and only such air as could pass through
the rock, all rock being supposed to be
more or less porous2 1t must have been
hundreds Of years ago when the frog lay
in that little lakelet which formed in the
mud on the bank OF the Ohio river, and
lay there until the mud covered it in,
rendering escape impossible. Then the
chemistry OF nature set to work,
and year by year the mud be-
came harder aud harder until after
centuries or ages it became rock
known as blue limestone. Fifteen years
ago the rock was dug out and boated
down to Memphis Were it has been used
as paving stone on the levee. All these
long weary years the frog has listened tc
the rolling Of wagons and drays over til
tomb, and it heard the rumbling Of tht
artillery during the gunbOat fight o
1862. When the day Of its deliversncl
came it hoped out and away as livel,
as any other frog. How old is that frog
