 One day recently D. W. Ives of East Wal lingford was sorting over his stock of po- tatoes that was put in his bin last fall. Among the collection he found three that had every appearance of being ordinary potatoes, but upon picking them up they
 seemed to be very heavy and proved to be
 stone. The shape Is of perfect potato
 even to the eye. and it seems to be ques-
 ton as to whether they are petrified pota-
 toes or stones. Judge Martin. who has
 them in his possession, Is of the opinion
 that they are petriAsd potatoes, and will
 send them down to Yale college for exam
 ination.
