TOAD DUG FROM STRATUM OF
HARD MATERIAL BY USE OF
STRONG EXPLOSIVES.
Eyes Gradually Became Normal and
Animal Now in Excellent Health
Most Remarkable story From Mel,
bourne, With Some Elements of
Truth by Secretary of Gardens.

Melbourne, Sept. 25.-A miner has
sent to the geological gardens, Perth,
a live toad which he dug out of a
strata of hard cement while sinking a
shaft with explosives.
Entombed for Centuries.
1t is believed that the creature has
been entombed for centuries. When
released from confinement the toad
was quite inanimate. Its eyes, which
were transparent, with no pupil, grad
ually became normal, and it is now in
excellent health.
Smooth Chamber.
The chamber in which it was con
fined was perfectly smooth, and there
was nc room for movement. The toad
is now being examined by biologists.
The secretary of the geological gar
dens says toads bury themselves in
mud when the water in which they
have been living dries up, and so re
main there until the next rain comes.
No Rain, No Toad.
If a drought sets in and no rain
comes there will be no change in the
condition of the toad, and therefore
nothing to bring him to a state of ami
nation, and so he may continue for al
time until someone comes along to I'm
earth him.
