LIVE ToADs IN STONES.

Nearly all treatises on geology up
seat the story that live toads have
been found enclosed in limestone rock
some even asserting that the toads
after being liberated hoped about
lively. No scientist ever substanti-
ated the story and all experiments
made in Girard college failed to give
the least show. of reality.
About one hundred years ago Alex
ander Won Humboldt, then young
man, wrote treatise on the lime
stone quarries about Aries in France,
a region celebrated for its geological
formation, The treatise was written
in French and Humboldt employed the
technical term of the quarrymen for
the holes and cavities found in lime
stone which are often lined with
quarry crystals. This technical term
is scrapand off, Now crapand
means in common parlance toad, but
artillerymen call the gun carriage
for small mortars also crapand. and
so it has different meanings in differ
ent trades. The carpenter has a jack
plane. and there is a jackpudding, but
what has all this to do with Jack.
Technical terms in art and trades
often put very. different meanings on
common expressions.
The translator of Hnmboldts treat
Use translated crapand with toad. the
first meaning he found in the diction-
AIRY. and off which means alive. quick.

other things With alive; but off means

was made to m-aN alive toad, when

Such cavities are frequently found
in limestone from the size Of pea up
TO the size Ola pumpkin. as every
quarrymah can testify. A live toad
was never found enclosed in rocks
and never will.be found.
