The real reason why WIltzs and Stevens

that the revolution would come to a head

He carried out his idea in this revolution

American life and property were endan-

Said to Have Been Found Living in
the Center of a Lump of Coal.
From the Philadelphia Press.
WnKEsBARRE, PA, Jan. ga miner
while at work the other day made a won
derful discovery of large and well-formed
frog in a mass OF anthracite coal blasted
from chamber 800 feet below the surface
In Simpson & Watkins Mount Lookout col
liery at Wyoming. near here.
The discoverer of the rare curiosity is
Joseph Johns. He was timbering with au-
other miner, James Otis, in a tunnel in the
mine and had barred down a large lump of
| coal when tue CLEAN of light from his lamp
fell upon something in the coal. He stopped
down and touched the object and was sur
prised to find it soft ana yielding There
was about a square inch of surface exposed
at the time and he saw that the thing, what-
ever it was, was In q cavity. With his pick
he very carefully Clipped off the coal all
around it until the cavity or chamber was
fully opened, and there nesting in the hard
coal be found frog.
Some seventeen years ago. while working
in the mines, he made q similar discovery
and had then taken the frog in his hand,
shown 1t TO his brother miners and taken it
home. But while it was alive and warm
when he found it, it died before iG had been
exposed to the air half an hour. At that
time scientist had told him that il he had
inclosed the frog in an alright compart-
ment Immediately after unearthing it the
animal might have lived.
When he made his second discovery on
Wednesday this fact at once REQUIRED 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 aud closed the lid tightly, excluding
all the air and the jar has not siuce been
opened.
The frog at first showed no signs of life,
although It was warm. but after being in
the jar about six hours it began 10 move.
and when it had been exposed to the light
ten hours it was quite as lively as any specl-
men which can be found around the ponds
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 different from
an every day frog except that It's back is
nearly black and there are two rows of little
billy protu berances down each side of It's
spine. Its legs also are peculiarly long and
its feet very delicate and tender.

Fire Eating Away the Supports of
Honeybrook, la.
From the Neo York Press.


HoNEYBRooK, Pa, Jan. 29.-The people
Of this town are alarmed. With a worked
out coal mine beneath their feet and tho
few remaining pillars gradually succumb-
ing to the ravages Of fire which has been
burning for month, a collapse Of tn o sur
face is likely to occur at any moment. To
be precipitated into the recesses of an
abandoned coal mine ia bad enough, but to
tumble into a seething furnace is too much
for even the sturdy miner to view wit
compacence.
No. colliery, which is operated by the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, is
an old one. and when fire was discovered in
the slope a month ago the officials looked
upon it as a trivial loss, as they would soon
abandon it. The only concern it gave them
at the time was to eXtinguish the flame aud
prevent 1t from communicating with the
adjoining mines, n 8. |, ) and II. After
several weeks's work all evidences Of the
existence of fire disappeared, and nothing
more was thought o. it. To get the re-
naming coal large force Of men were set
to WORK stripping the Wharton vein. Dur
ing this operation the slope at No. closed
up to the mouth.
Suddenly there was a settling Of the earth.
On the borders OF the village one crack, q
foot wide, ran along the base Of the bank
and was lost to sight under it. The post
Office and several dwelling houses were
badly shaken up. This created same fear
among the miners for the safety of their
families, still they did not move Saturday,
however, another outbreak occurred. From
the many hsSures throughout the village is
sued gases aud steam In volumes, and to-
day at the very doors of the Inhabitants
may be seen steam and gas arising in clouds.
