BURIED ALIVE IX THE HOCKS.
Such Coffins Not Allowed for Toads
lint Alleged to Ho Used for Rug.
San Francisco. Our old friends,
the frog and the toad, have so long
figured as alternate heroes of the
alive-ln-solld-rpck myths that they
have the best of rights to resent the
appearance of a mere undlfferentlat
ed "bug" as claimant for a share of
glory hitherto exclusively batrachlan
and quite uncontested. Frogs and
toads are near relatives, and both na
turally and justly they will grieve
over the extension of "bugs" of that
credulity, sufficiently amazing when
limited to a single species, which en
ables a human being to believe that
anything alive can survive for cen
turies In solid rock, foodless, water
less, airless, motionless.
Of course the frogs and toads never
do or did live in solid rock, but they
take the trouble to look and act rath
er as If they could and by loafing
around quarries .and mines they pro
vide a not too pallid excuse for Ig
norance and faith, in combination, to
draw false conclusions from finding
them in crannies and cavities, Just
revealed, that fit them to a nicety.
Rut "bugs" are different. They do
not make up for the part of secular
seclusion, tradition does not cast them
for It, and, by no possibility coii'd
they play it well. Yet we read that
twice within a year have officials
of the Shamrock Gold Mining and
Milling company found "bugs" about
a quarter of an nch long imbedded
In quartzlte blasted out, In one case
20f) feet below the surface and In the
other 100 feet.
The naive purveyor of this tale de
clares that "the entoologlsts here are
much interested In this new find."
Well they may be. If there are any
entomologists In that neighborhood.
The Interest, however, will not be in
their belief, are extremely queer
specimens nnd well worthy of investi
gation. Entomologists are not
the men best qualified to conduct the
Investigating, but as sclent'sts they
will know how to collect data for the
specialists In anthropology or plth-ecanthropology.

Wollcd-ln Honey.
Belfast, Me. For several years
bees have made a hive in the attic of
the old homestead of Mrs. Susan New
ell at City Point, entering through
knothojes in the boards under the
eaves and building their combs be
tween the walls.
This year the bees became so nu
merous that they caused trouble and
two expert beekeepers cut holes
through the attic walls. They found
three distinct swarms, two of the
common small brown bee and one of
the Italian bees. One swarm was
captured by being smoked and taken
In paper bags alive. The walls of
the old house were literally lined with
honey and over 100 pounds were ta
ken out, with as much more left which
could not be reached without too
much damage to the house.
