"toad" nro of mica, and add realism
to It. All tho features to bo found
on n ronl. live Meld load nro repro
duced with remarkable accuracy.
Unlike many natural freaks, tho
visitor docs not have to be told what

I wny to discern any likeness to a toad.
Natives of this town tell funny stories
nbout strangers, who, seeing tlip rock

I tlnn of nearly tu thousand feet
