its delivery to the United States Navy De-

often do you take far greater risks
A snake-bite is not the only means of
introducing poison into the system.
If your liver is sluggish, it fails to re
move the impurities from the blood
which passes through it, and deadly
poisons are thus thrown into the cir
culation, all the more dangerous be

AN ANTE-DILUVIAN FROG.

4 miner yesterday discovered a
large and we'll formed frog alive IN a
mass Of anthracite coal blasted from q
chamber 300 feet below the Surface,
in Simpson & Watkins Mount Look
out colliery at Wyoming, near here,
says Wilkes Barre correspondent OF
the New York Herald The discover
er Of the curiosity is Joseph Johns
He had barred down a large lump of
coal, when the light from his lamp fell
upon something strange in it. He
stopped down, touched the object and
was surprised to find it soft and yield
ing He very carefully Clipped off
the coal around it and found it to be a
frog. Seventeen years ago, while
working in the mines, Johns had 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 When
he made his second discovery he put
the frog in an air tight jar in which
he had brought tea for his lunch, and
the jar has not since been opened.
The frog at first showed no signs of
life, although it was warm, but after
being in q jar about six hours it began
to move, and when it had been expos
ed to the light ten houls it was quite
lively. Since then it has continued to
be fully wide awake, and stares at all
who look at it. In appearance it is
not very much different from an ordi-
nary frog, except that its back is near
ly black, and there are two rows of
little protuberance5 down each side
of its spine. Its legs also are pecu-
liarly long and its feet very delicate
