Liv. in [rocks] / N.Y. World, July 16-8-6 / On John R Sanderson's farm, near Latrobe (Pa?), diggers came upon a bed of limestone. A piece of limestone split open—inside was a grapevine leaf. Looked exactly like leaf of a modern grapevine. Fresh and green—but upon exposure to the air, it soon withered. [AF-II: 653.1, 653.2. (New York World, July 16, 1908, p. 8 c. 6; not in Evening World.) "A Freak of Nature." New York Tribune, August 23, 1908, p. 3 c. 3. "From The Philadelphia Record." "A remarkable freak of nature and a rare find from a geologist's point of view came to light on the farm of John R. Sanderson, located a few miles from Latrobe, on Tuesday, July 7, while Charles D. Fausold was digging a hole in the ground. The hole, about six feet square, was being put down through a bed of soft limestone, and one of the stones encountered, a piece of limestone about eight by six inches in dimensions, was accidentally struck upon the edge with a pick. It split open at the blow and inside was found a grapevine leaf. It was of an ordinary size, looking exactly as a leaf from a modern grapevine looks, and it was as green and as fresh and tender as though it had just been plucked from a vine. It withered as soon as it was exposed to the air and sun. The leaf wss found is the centre of a fifteen-acre field of corn."]

Liv in [rocks] / N.Y. Sun, 1908, July 19-12-2 / Icicles 60 years old / An oilhouse at the Cape Henlopen lighthouse was suddenly covered by shifting sand. Early in July, 1908, the peak of it showed out of sand. It was uncovered and icicles found hanging from the roof. In a few moments melted away. [AF-II: 654.1, 654.2. (New Yrok Sun, July 19, 1908, p. 12 c. 2.) Cape Henlopen is on the Delaware shore at the mouth of the Delaware River, (opposite from Cape May, New Jersey.]

[Liv in rocks] / Yarns / Vouched for / In D. News, late in Sept, 1924, a story of a girl, who had swallowed an octopus egg, which had hatched in [her and] killed her. In letters published Sept 30, one cor. said that she was a Bradford mill girl; another said that the story was no fable, and that he knew the girl to have been employed in a Nottingham factory. Someone else told that the occurrence had been at Whitely Bay, Northumberland. [AF-II: 655.1, 655.2. (London Daily News, September 30, 1924.) "The Awful Tale of the Octopus Eggs." Leeds Mercury, September 18, 1924, p. 2 c. 3. "A ludicrous tale has obtained an astonishing vogue in Bradford this week." "It is that a Bradford girl whilst bathing at Blackpool swallowed some sea water which contained the eggs of an octopus. The young—so it is alleged—bred in her in Bradford, and when she was X-rayed they were seen be devouring her internally!" "The story has been told in mills and workshops, gathering creepy detail as it travelled." "Yesterday a Mercury reporter set out to trace the tale and interviewed enough girls who had heard it and believed it to supply a ballet which would overflow even the stage of Drury Lane!" "Dr. Mitchell, who has charge the X-Ray department at the Bradford Royal Infirmary, said he had heard the yarn at least ten times." "'It is perfectly preposterous,' he exclaimed. 'If the girl had swallowed the egg it would, of course, have digested.'" "So it is to be hoped that the young ladies of Bradford will be terrified no longer by the awful tale of the octopus eggs." The earliest reports of this story came from Bradford.]

[Liv in rocks] / + / toads / [source unidentified] , 1889, Aug 31-6-5 / Workmen on the Columbus Southern Road in Georgia came upon soil containing bones of unknown animals, oyster beds, and 2 live frogs in rocks. [AF-II; 656. "Notes and Extracts on Miscellaneous Subjects." Religio-Philosophical Journal, 46 (no. 28; August 31, 1889): 6, (c. 5). "Workmen on the Columbus Southern Road in Georgia, while digging in cuts, turned up an immense lot of soil resembling rock phosphates. The soil contains skeletons of very curiously formed animals totally unknown in these parts at the present day. Oyster beds have been discovered, and sharks teeth and the teeth of various animals have been found in abundance. The most curious discovery of all was two live green bull frogs, taken from an excavation in a solid rock." "Items in Three States." Savannah Morning News, August 12, 1889, p. 6 c. 1.]

[Liv in rocks] / + / toads / Religio-Phil Jour, Sept 21, 1889, copying from an Arizona newspaper, that at Proctor's Wells, Santa Rosa, quantity of shells of seventeen-year-locusts brought up in piping from a depth of 763 feet.

Liv [in] Rocks / Religio-Phil Jour, Nov 5-6-5, 1887 / After blasting in a coal mine, at Pana, Ill., was found, a snake, ab. 2 feet long, unlike any known species on the surface—[evi]dently [lif]eless. [AF-II; 661. "Notes and Extracts on Miscellaneous Subjects." Religio-Philosophical Journal, 43 (no. 11; November 5, 1887): 6, (c. 5). "Popular Science." Abbeville Press and Banner, November 2, 1887, p. 6 c. 7. "Some men working in a coal shaft at Pana, Ill., came upon a peculiar snake that had apparently been blasted up by the last shot that had been fired. It was alive and coiled up in a bunch when one
of the workmen disclosed it with a shovel. It had no eyes, apparently. The laborers say that a cavity was discovered in a large chunk of earth that was probably the abiding place of the snake ere it was dislodged. It is claimed that the snake could not in any way have fallen in from the top since the fall would have killed it. The length of this underground reptile was perhaps two feet. It was sleek and beautifully spotted, but unlike any known species on the surface."]

Durham, was hewing at a solid stratum of coal, about six feet in thickness, and 13 fathoms from the surface of the earth, he found a frog inclosed in the solid mass, which immediately on being liberated from its prison began to exercise the functions of animal life. The recess in the coal, in which it was found, was exactly fitted to its body, and had apparently no communication whatever with the surface of the block. The animal was exactly the colour of the coal itself. The astonished miner called a fellow-workman, numed Ambrose Southey, to witness the phenomenon. They caught the frog and put it into a vessel of water, when its sooty covering disappeared, and it appeared speckled like the rest of its species. It continued alive on the 17th instant, in possession of the miners."]

"About a fortnight ago, as one of the stonemasons that in the employ of the Dock Trustees, was dressing, on the sea-wall of the Regent's Dock, a huge stone, brought from the Weston Point quarry, and after he had broken a considerable thickness from its outside he discovered, in a hole of small diameter, which was partly filled with clay and a loamy sand, three bees in a state of animation, to the inexpressible astonishment of himself and his fellow workmen, many of whom were wituesses of this strange phenomenon. The foreman of the works put them into his handkerchief, where they remained for several hours afterwards; but, while exhibiting his newly resuscitated strangers, two of them flew away, and he voluntarily gave the third its liberty. These bees are described to us as having been of the drone species. We have questioned the person as to the truth of so singular a statement, and he affirms, that they were found in the interior of the solid stone, as we have described above, without any perceptible communication from without. Toads, and other similar animals, have been found, in a living state, in situations equally extraordinary; but we never heard before of any of the winged tribe being incased in the heart of a solid stone. The discovery is singular, and will furnish matter of curious speculation to the naturalist and the philosopher."]

in Varley & Everill's lime rock quarry north of the city broke open a large piece of rock which had been blasted out and a frog hopped out of a pocket in the centre of the stone. Of course the occurrence created a tremendous sensation among the work men, and operations at the quarry were for the time suspended and the movements of tho frog were watched with great interest. The animal was some
what smaller than the ordinary frog and was perfectly white. Its eyes were unusually large and very brilliant, but the frog was apparently blind. Where the mouth should have been there was only a
line and on the feet there was a dark horny substance. Mr Everill at once took charge of the curiosity and put it in a tin can, but the frog died yesterday morning. He brought it down town and it was
examined with interest by a large number of people and was afterwards presented to the museum, where it will be preserved in alcohol.”]

It happened to get broken, when a shell was discovered inside containing a live caterpillar! We understand that this extraordinary reptile remained alive two days after it was rescued from the prison in which it had been confined from the time when the coal was overwhelmed and buried in the bowels of the earth. The shell and remains of the caterpillar have been sent to the Museum of King's College, London. There have been numerous instances of frogs and toads being buried alive in the midst of solid rocks, but this is the only instance that we remember of a caterpillar having been found alive in such a tomb.”]

[Liv in rocks] / + / In the Field, May 4, 1912, Lieut. Col. Andrew Haggard tells that in month of Jan., 1885, while in a temporary command of the Egyptian troops at Suakin, on the Red Sea coast of the Eastern Soudan, while excavating hard coral rock below the sand, while watching a man split a block of this rock, he saw a white object, covered with lime, fall from a cavity in it. He believed it to be a fossil hermit crab and held it in his hand, watching it. He thought he saw that it had moved. Someone else exclaimed that this was so. The crab thrust out a claw and was very much alive. Col. Haggard, to his later regret, took the crab to the sea, and released it. Statement of another witness is appended. The Editor writes that it is impossible to explain the pressure of a living crab in the heart of fossiliferous rock, 4 feet below desert sand. Thinks must have bee in the sand. / Field, May 11, 1912, letter from the other witness, Alfred Thacker, former soldier-servant to Col Haggard. A mile from the sea. He distinctly remembered te cavity it occupied in the rock. Editor refuses to believe, because the creature must hvave been buried and alive many centuries. [AF-II; 820.1 to 820.6.

In size, it is like those cucumbers which are sold for seed at Lángabestān, sometimes larger, sometimes smaller. The ice-worm I brought to Sultán Ibrahim was smaller than a cucumber. It is an aphrodisiac, sharpens the sight, and makes a man as healthy and vigorous as a newborn child. It is rarely found, and falls but to the lot of kings!

"The following from the meteorological observer at Walgett (Mr. G.S. Hay) is an instance of a 'shower of fish' worth recording. Goodooga lies N.W. from Walgett, and the Narran Lake is nearly on the direct line, while the road curves away from the lake:—'The mailman between Walgett and Goodooga, via Comborah Springs, N.W. from here, brought into town a small fish, about three inches long, like a small bream in appearance. He states that he found it in the wheel tracks on a sand ridge, about 25 miles on this side of the Narren River, and that the ground was alive with fish. On Monday night there was a terrific storm of wind and rain, and these fish (he says) fell in the shower. The Narran Lake is about 20 miles from the place where the fish was found. The keeper of the Bunghill tank went out to collect the fish, with a view of stocking the tank, and collected a number of fish." Russell, Henry Chamberlaine. “Water-Spouts on the Coast of New South Wales.” Journal and Proceedings of the Royal Society of New South Wales, 32 (1898): 132-149, at 137. "Some years since, the driver of the mail coach from Goodooga to Walgett, in this colony, was very much surprised to find the road for a quarter of a mile alive with fish floundering about; the fish were such as are found in the swamps and tanks of the district. The ground also was very wet and the fish numerous and lively, but the origin of them was a mystery; a wider experience said that evidently a tornado had passed over a swamp or tank and carried up the water and the fish with it; there was no other possible source from which the fish could have come, unless they were carried from the river." The shower of fish, here, reported by Russell, in 1887, has been confused with another, in 1888, at Gnalta. See: 1888 Sept. 21, (VI; 1455).]

Liv / Lib / James E DeKay / Natural History of N.Y. / Fish and toad shower in 1842. [SF-VI; 1425. DeKay, James Ellsworth. Natural History of New York. Albany, 1842, (pt. 1) v. 4, 170. "This little fish, which I have never known to exceed the above dimensions, is usually found on muddy bottoms. It has frequently been brought to me, included between the two valves of an oyster. I should think it abundant in our waters, from the following circumstance: In the summer of 1824, a number of these fish were found in the streets of New-York, after a heavy shower; and many idle speculations were hazarded in the papers of the day, as to their origin. An eminent ichthyologist of that period spoke of them 'as unknown to our waters, and not described in the books of Ichthyology.' 'The speculation is an exceedingly curious one, how fishes could be elevated into the atmosphere, and by what means kept alive after they are raised.' Showers of fish are not uncommon, and are susceptible of an easy solution. They are raised by whirlwinds or water-spouts; and the tenacity of life, in the species under consideration, accounts for their being found alive." DeKay identified the fish as the two-spined toad-fish, (Batrachus Celatus), which is now identified as the oyster toadfish, (Opsanus tau); and, the shower, in which this solitary fish was found, occurred in 1822, (not 1842, nor 1824). "From the New York Statesman." Wilmingtonian, (Delaware), April 22, 1824, p. 2 c. 2-3. "Notice of a Fish that fell from the atmosphere in the city of New York; the Fish being saved, and proving to be a non-descript—From a paper read before a Society [Lyceum of Natural History], by Samuel L. [Latham] Mitchell, L.L.D, April 10, 1824." "In the autumn of 1822, about the time when the inhabitants were returning from the dispersion caused by the yellow fever, there was a thunder shower attended by a considerable fall of rain. During the squall a fish also descended to the earth. This happened in the yard adjoining the house of Joseph Harrington, No. 142, Front-Street. A young female saw the creature when it reached the stone pavement, and immediately picked it up. She brought it forthwith into the house, where it recovered animation after the shocks it had received. It was handled by several persons while yet alive; and it continued to move and turn over as is usual with fishes out of their element, for perhaps a quarter of an hour. My friend Col. Hunter, among others, a witness of the fact; the girl when she brought in the stupified fish; examined it himself after the temporary recovery of its motion; and observed it until it died. It was then preserved in spirits; and is now an article in my museum." "The specimen in the present instance, was so entire as to admit an ichthyological description. From this it appears that it differs from all the inhabitants of our water, and what is more remarkable still, there is reason to believe that the species to which the inidvidual belongs, is unknown to naturalists." "On examination I found it to be a Betrachus or Toad-fish; remotely allied to the Scorpœnas, Gurnards, and Bullheads. Under the old classification, it would be considered a Lophius without the elbowed pectorals." "The length was rather more than two inches. Breadth of the head rather more than three quarters of an inch." "The new and singular character of this atmospheric fish, proves that it could not have been procured from the net or the market, inasmuch as the waters around New York do not contain any such specimen. How it was elevated from its watery abode, and wafted through the air from a great distance, may be explained upon the same principle, perhaps, with that which affords a solution to the descent of shells, frogs, worms, and other creatures, occasionally from the clouds."]

Said that nearby was a temporary swamp from rain that had settled in hollows. The officer in command, suspecting hoaxing, had ordered soldiers to fire at it. Mr. White saw it twice. First time it started up from the ground "with the brightness and speed of a rocket". It descended equally fast but less brilliantly. Again he saw it upon swampy ground. "It presented a globular form of bluish light, so intense that we could scarcely look at it, but emitted no rays and cast no shadows."

Luminous phe / 1892 / Feb 3 / In the Field, Feb 13, 1892, Margaret M.T. Amherst writes that at Brandon, Norfolk, this night between 11 and 11:30 o'clock, she saw a ball of light, apparently 15 to 20 feet from the ground , among trees. "The light, which had the appearance of the sun seen through a London fog. remained stationary for half an hour and then slowly receded and disappeared. The light could not have been artificial, as there is no building near, and was too far from the ground to be carried. The occurrence was upon high sandy ground, excluding the standardized will-o-the-wisp explanation. The writer thinks it was a mass of luminus insects, or midges, such as had been seen in marshy parts of the same park. She says that a witness had once seen these luminous insects collect and form a ball of light. / Field, Feb 20, John T. Carrington, Editor of The Entomologist, writes that Miss Amherst was mistaken in supposing that the phenomenon could have been caused by insects; mistaken in thinking there were luminous gnats in England, In his opinion, it was a will-o-the-wisp. / Chas. H.J. Tanner, of Marlborough, writes that one night, about three years before, he had seen a similar luminous thing in Savernake Park, Marlborough. It had appeared moving at a height of fifty feet, moving rapidly. He heard "A strange rattling sound" apparently coming from the thing. He learned that others had seen the obbject. "I afterwards again saw the light on anothe revening, careening across the park a considerable height from the ground, and finally I lost sight of it in the vicinity of a large pond situated in the center of the park. It cannot be any artificial light, judging from the height, pace, etc. I should imagine; and I should therefore very much like to see some sort of a feasible explanation appear in your columns." He says that, in their own language, the people of Savernake were "skeared" when they saw the thing in the distance. [SF-IV: 79.1 to 79.10. (Field, February 13, 1892.) (Field, February 20, 1892.)]

("Owl") / 1892 / Feb 14 / San Fran Chronicle, 6-6, from Orland News. / That for several years a luminous thing had been seen in and near Orland. One time it fastened upon a wagon wheel and went around and around until the frightened horses ran away. Ab the 1st of Feb, was seen moving up and down a road. [SF-IV: 82.1, 82.2. (San Francisco Chronicle, February 14, 1892, p. 6 c. 6.)

Lum / Invaders—Wild Man / 1886 / Sept 3 / World, 2-7 / That in the Switchback Mts, near Mauch Chunk, Pa., "weird lights" had been seen travelling up and down along mountains and valleys. In 1877, seven "Molly Maguires" had been hanged in the jail at the foot of the mt. So thought the lights were their ghosts. Also a story of a "wild man" who had been seen in the mts. [SF-IV; 83.1, 83.2. (New York World, September 3, 1886, p. 2 c. 7.)]

[Lum Objs / "Owls"] / BO / 1911 / June / In a later issue of D. Mail (I get as copied in the Derry Journal, Jan 3, 1913), Capt. Elliot MacKirdy, of the Lanarkshire Yeomanry, tells of a brilliant, but [note cut off] less luminous globe that he saw early one Sunday morning in June, at Ashkirk, Selkirkshire. [SF-IV: 84.1, 84.2. "Lake Lights Mystery." Derry Journal, January 3, 1913, p. 8 c. 5. "In June, 1911, at Ashkirk, in Selkirkshire, I saw a similar phenomenon. I was just finishing my ronnds as orderly officer about 12.35 on Sunday morning when I was struck by a curious light, similar to the one seen by Lord Erne." "It resembled the headlight a motor car, but had rays, a globe of brightness, which flickered like the reflection of the moon in a bucket of water, going out for about thirty seconds and shining for about the same time." "It was about three-quarters of a mile distant and about twenty to thirty feet above the horizon, which I could distinctly see underneath it." "It had been raining hard for about three hours and was just clearing when I first noticed the light." "I was too tired and wet to investigate farther that morning. I, however, examined the ground later on, and found that the horizon was formed by a stone wall dividing a ploughed field from the moorland, which extended for many miles beyond." "The stable guard saw the light, the sergeant of the guard, and several others who were up at that hour and whom I questioned." (London Daily Mail, ca. January 3, 1913.)]
