THE MEANS OF PROTECTION.

you see the idea" said the hunVeT.
"The lizard thought that ne was about to
be captured and that harsh methods were
necessary, and so in an instant he decided
10 part with his tail, hoping in this way TO
distract our attention from the body part,
which would run of. The tall is jerked
off or tossed by quick side motion OF the
body, and the moment it is severed the
animal darts away as rapidly and natur-
ally the pursueF stops to examine the
leaplng tail, that TO bir0 might seem
worm and with any animal might arouse
curiosity enough to delay 1t long enough
for he lizard to escape.
"Tbis fellow has had hard luck" con-
tinuod the speaker, holding up the tail.
"YOu see how much smaller a part OF the
tail is than the rest. The scales are more
delicate. and 1t has q BLUSH cast quite
different from the rest. That means that
the lizard has been through this operation
before, and this tail that ii has just cast
had not really attained it's full growth"
"Tnen they reproduce themW asked.
'Cert ainly, or else where would be the
benedtY The tail and all the bones grow
again, and will an indefinite number Of
times. The only drawba is that it
takes time, perhaps three months or more
in the summer, to attain its growth.
Sometimes two tails are reproduced in-
stead Of one, but this is only in rare cases.
In Asia some Of the geckos are tall
tOssers, and a geckO has been seen to
throw of it's tail and then, as if deceived
itself, seize and swallow IT,"
Tho canyons were the paradise OF
lizards, aud as we walked along they
We're dragged from their seclusion be-
meath etOnes, moss and bark, and in
short time the tin can was provided with
an abundant supply. Some were green,

and wicked eyes, others were black, with
white stripes, while others again were

Piles OF stones, that the sun had not
reached. often concealed a number that
were if and dormant, and refused to
move until the sun had warmed them into
life. Though snow rarely falls in these
mountain recesses, many animals hiber-
nate, especially rattlesnakes and many
large lizards, all retreating to holes and
not appearing until the intense heat
warns them into life again.
"Here is another case of protection"
said the naturalist, pointing to n large
leaf that came huttering down from
high tree. 1t had the peculiar wavering
Eight that falling leaves have, and passed
some ten feet or 30 above our heads, where
it lodged in a bush. "You thought it was
a leaf" he continued, shut, you see, it is
an insect" and he secured the supposed
leaf and held up a curious katydid for in
speotion.
The insect was almost exact in its MINI
icry. the wings being a rich green and
having veins that resemhled those Of
leaf even to the midrih; in fact. it was a
question whether its fight or its appear

Costly Vcrbcsity.

The old-time proverb, talk is cheap

ing ground under the effect of David
Dudley Fields crusade against legal
verbosity. The eminent New York
lawyer has demonstrated hit the
people of New York pay annually
over 100000 for surplus words
in mortgages. This is perhaps a
starting revelation to great many
people, yet if that great sum is an.
nhally wasted on useless verbosity in
mortgages in one city, who can esti-
mate the total loss in the whole coun.
try on everything in which surplus
words are used! 1t is not out of the

wise prudent and sensible woman to
the foolish extreme of wearing a

Income of her Husband can afford. II
is that in1lsance that prompts WON,
an to buy a sealskin sacque and run
in debt to the butcher and grocer for
tor years provisions. 1t is that
influence which makes a woman try
to dress as well on y few dollars as
her rich neighbol does on thousand.
1t is that Influence that causes a
woman to let her house so bare and
without the comforts and necessities
Of ordinary housekeeping. in order
that her parlor, the only room that
company IS allowed to- see, may he

that influence that causes her to
wear a soiled and worn wrapper when
