CENTURY Old TOAD
RESUMES HIS nap

Of Pleistoceae Age

Frederick. Okla, Feb. 1.-@-

something less than a wink. Pleisty
has resumed his custom of sleeping
away the winter.
Pleisty-if Introduction is neces-
sary-is one. of the toads which
aroused a Juror of scientific argu-
ment by emerging alive from balls
Of rock like clay found in a stratum
of the Pleistocene age. Believing
that the reptile belonged to that
older generation, dating back some
SOC. 900 or 100000 years. his owner.
A. H. Holloman, named him after
it.
The stratum in which the impris-
oned toads were found is in Hollo-
mans gravel pit on top of the high
est hill in TiIlman county. Although
I it is more than goo feet above the
present bed Of the north fork OF the
Red river and some ten miles away.
biologists agree the stratum once lay
In the river bed and was lifted by
erosion.
While come OF the toads were
found before the rescue of their
famous horned cousin from the cor
nerstone of court house at East
land, Tex. where it was represented
to have lived 80 years without food
and water. their discovery was not
announced until later for fear Of
ridicule.
All the toads were virtually trans
parent when they were freed from
their rock prisons. Their skins were
white. and print could be read
| through their bodies. Their stomacha
had shriveled and their mouths had
grown shut, but they were unmistak-
ably alive.
Some died Immediately after ex-
posture. but IIolloman saved several
by burying them In sand and grad
ually acclimating them. One died
when a kind hearted woman pro-
vided IA feast In the form of a worm.
There has been no effort to feed the
survivors, but they live day after
day, breathing perceptibly.
