THE GILA MONSTER.
--
Repulsive In Looks, It Is Really a
Harmless Creature.
Probably there is no other living
creature more feared by the Ignorant
Hum tiie tlila monster, about Vvbich nil
maimer of weird tales have been told.
It lias even been held that tlie mere
breath of this animal is sufficient to '
cause death to the one upon whom it
fell. Scientific inquiry, however, fails 1
to disclose a single instance wherein
(he breath or even the bite of this
creature ha* resulted fatuity. The
fact that dissection and microscopic j
examination do not reveal any trace of
glands for the secretion of venom is
sufficient evidence to indicate that this
jurious member of the lizard family
has been slandered.
Some years ago a civil engineer in
the southwest undertook to settle once
for all the question whether "the mon
ster" was deadly or not. A flue speci
men was captured and confined in a
wire iudosure. A chicken was obtain
cd, and its feat hers were removed in ;
Hiller that the lizard might have every
opportunity to strike at the breast.
The chicken was then held quite close
to the Gila monster, which soon snap
pod viciously and secured a firm hold
on (tie fowl's breast, retaining this grip
for more than ten minutes When tlie
victim was released it was found that
the chicken's breastbone bad been bro
ken. Nevertheless the fowl quickly
recovered, the hone knitting and the
wound healing with uo symptoms of
poisoning.
It is very probable that the reputa
tion for evil borne by the Gila mon- ,
sler is due simply and solely to its
most repulsive appearance.—Harper’s
Weekly.
THE UBIQUITOUS SEA LION.
He Strayed a Long Way From Home
Before He Was Killed.
The following story is taken from
the American Magazine:
"Sunday is a dull day, and the city
editors had a habit of detailing men to
go to the zoological gardens and get
animal stories for Monday morning
The reporters got together one Sunday
morning and persuaded the head ant
n:al keeper to let them publish a fake
story. It was rattier commonplace,
concerning the alleged escape of a non
i xistent sea lion from the pool to open
water
Fake.’ saiil the managing editor as
he read the story. 'Let’s make it a !
go id one '
"Thereupon tie sent telegrams to ev
ery country correspondent ou that wa
ter or its tributaries, merely Inquiring
if anything had been seen of the es
caped sea lion. The response was ap
palling. Tlie correspondents needed
only the bint. That (lay the sea lion
was seen by at least twenty corre
spondents, and Bergband printed all
the reports one after another Thus
spurred, the correspondents went to it
in earnest. The following day the sea
lion was reported at every point with
in 200 miles The story spread like
ripples on water. In live days the lion
was sighted over half the world, and
an enthusiast at Southampton cabled
that he was heading toward the north
son Then a crtipl correspondent up on
Lake Superior killed him and wired
licit he was sending the skin as proof
1 always suspected that the managing
islitor did it himself."
A Fins Sense of Feeling.
I One of two darkies wtio run a bool
black "parlor" in partnership was brag
iglng of his well developed sense of
, touch, particularly in the matter of
money lie boasted that he could tell
the denomination of any United States
oin merely by feeling it. Uis partner
wearied of these boasts and came hack
with this:
"Your sense o' reelin' ain't nothin’ to
my friend Marcus. Him and me used
to work on the Pullman down through
l Kansas. Marcus had been on this route
tor about ten years One night when
we was both n-slcepln', 'long around
nidnlglit. I wakes up ar.d I shakes Mnr
tis and ! says, ‘Marcus, where are we?'
Mid M ircus jest rolls over and sticks
j nis hand out the window and he says,
i We re goin’ through Oswego.’ Ev

Writing on a Pillow.
Every one who has had occasion to
; write while riding in a railway train
: will be interested in the fact that the
i disagreeable effects of the jarring of
1 : lie carriage are greatly mitigated by
! writing on a pillow The pillow may
i be either held on the lap or placed on a
i ‘able. The find of paper and the arm
which guides the pen or pencil should
i both rest on the pillow.
In this manner it will be found pos
