THE SWELLING TOAD.
Curious Points About This Oddly
Among Animals.


The wonder of the genus batrachia
and the greatest natural history oddly
TO be found along the Atlantic coast
of the United States is the swelling
toad, a semiaquatic creature known to
naturalists as bufomachalatus. 1t is
occasionally met with from New York
city to Jacksonville, Fla, but is most
common along the coasts Of Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina. When
IN its natural state the swell toad"
Is about the size Of large bullfrog,
but looks more like fish than it does
like either a frog or q toad. 1t is
about six inches in length and has the
curious faculty Of being able to swell
to the size of football, in which state
Its legs, tail and head are scarcely
visible.
Irritation appears to be the chief
factor in causing these curious crea-
lures to inhale air until they swell al
most to Bursting. The bellies of both
the males and females are nearly pure
white and are covered with spines
which give that portion Of their anato-

ened jimson bur. Persons who under.
stand the swell toad" ard know what
an irritable little rasca It is catch it
ana rub the spines q: / =; belly, when
1t swells up until it is utterly helpless.
Another curious point about the crea-
ture Is that as long as it is kept on
Its back it is unable to expel the air 80
as to reduce the swelling.

No other will cure a cold so quick

are good reasons why it should
be preferred to any other. The
fact is that few people are salts

Two miles north Of Wick, and
ten miles south of this city, the
Carter Oil company drilled in an
important well Saturday on the
Sarah Everhart farm. The well
started off at 6 barrels an hour
from the Big Injun formation. 1t
it in advance of developments,
and has caused a great deal OF ex-
citement in that immediate vicin-
ity. Many new locations have
been made near the new strike
and all the available territory
has been secured, for which large
bonuses and good monthly rentals
were paid. This well practically
connects the Wick and Sancho
pools.
Contractor George Wolfe OF
this city and some other capital
lists, have leased up block OF
800 acres in the vicinity of Sardls,
O., and will drill a number OF
test wells on the same at once.
The derrick is up for the first well
on the farm of Philip Bush. The
location is one-half mile north OF
Sardis and one-quarter OF a mile
from the Ohio river. Should the
venture be successful it will open
ND a vast amount of undevelOped
territory, which would bring a
large revenue to the landowners
and to the people in general OF
that locality. There is nothing
that booms a community equal to
an oil field, and should pool be
developed near Sardis, the resi-
dents of that little village would
experience one Of the greatest
financial changes in the history OF
the old town. Some people would
become millionaires before they
had time to realize the fact, while
others would become independ-
emily wealthy in a very brief per
iod. Let us hope the first we'll
drilled near our neighboring
town will be a gusher, as it would
not only be of untold benefit to
the residents in that locality, but
to this city as well.
