"A University Expert Finds Many OF
tie Stnries of the Reniiln hIylla.


the Stories of the Reptile Myths.
S. German, who is in charge of orig
inal researches concerning batrachians
and reptiles at Harvard university, has
just issued n monograph on 1.-The Gila
Monster" This reptile, known to
science as Heloderma suspretum, is an
enormous lizard, and it has been n fre-
quent topic of travellers tales, who
have credited it with maximum length
of thirty inches, the thickness OF o
strong mans hand, n poisonous black
vapor breath, and bite usually fatal.
Mr.. German has had specimen
under daily observation for over n ear.
1t is about twelve inches long and three
inches broad, striped black and white
on II yellowish background. He finds
the poisonous black vapor breath q
myth. Although large worms and in
sects seemed to die much more quickly
when bitten by the monster than when
cut in pieces by the scissors, kitten
which the reptile had bitten twice SUI.
fered no symptoms other than those
following any similar incised wound and
post mortem, soon after the second
bite, disclosed no indications OF poison.
Mr.. German, therefore, concludes that
the venomous reputation OF the Hello
derma is unmerited, and that his black
breath is imaginary. He is an interest
ing subject for study, but no more harm
full than other animals of his size and
weapons.

INsPECroH SOW,
A Fox Terrier Who Travels all Over
the Fast.

Owney, the famous postal car dog,
reached Norwich, Conn, for the first
time in his long travel, says the New
York Sun. After the mail train from
Palmer, Mass, had reached the sta
tion of the New London & Northern
railroad in Norwich at l0:45 o'clock, ana
Henry Kelley, the veteran mail carrier,
had backed his wagon up to the postal
car, a dark gray fox terrier leaped from
the car, following the first pouch that
was tossed into the vehicle. Mr. Kelley
was amazed and slightly frightened at the
act, but the mail agent reassured him:
Owney, the postal car dog. He got
aboard at Palmer; came in on the mail
train over the Boston 81 Albany from
Albany. Just take him along to the
postohice and send himup the Norwich 81
Worcester road by the next mail"
1t was not at all difficult to take
Owney to the postoifice, for he wouldn't
quit his perch on the mound of mail
pounches. AS soon as the pouches were
tossed out or the sidewalk at the Office
he followed them. and went with them
into the postof1ice. Postmaster Ca
ruthers and all the postal clerks as soon
as they heard of the dogs history made
much of him, petted and fed him. and
tcrest. He manifested extreme reluct-
ance TO go far from the postofiice, how
ever, and was back there in time to es-
cort the next mail train to the depot of
the Norwich & Worcester railroad. He
went north on the O'Clock train in the
postal car, sitting on pile of pouch es
and there was plenty of applause for
him from people on the station platform.
Owney belongs in Albany, and for sew
eral years has been travelling in Uncle
Sans postal cars in the middle and
eastern states, evidently keeping u
sharp eye on the management of the
postal business. He has travelled many
thousand miles, alwaysin in the postal cars
is known to every postal agent in the
the east, and apparently is guided by
! caprice by selecting and quitting route
No one interferes with his business, and
he is passed along from one agent to
another. He is supposed to be on his
way to Boston now, and thence may
take the back track for Albany. He
| wears II wide, handsome collar, on which
is inscribed his name. He has the right
of way everywhere, For the past three
or four months he has been missing, and
postal agents in all parts of New Eng
land and New York state frequently
asked each other, ANY news from
Owney YETI" 1t has just been learned
that he was inspecting the postal routes
of Canada during his absence. He was
recently in n bad railway smashup and
lost one of his eyes.

Thrilled by Music.

The cry was "On to Richmond" in the
early spring of 1862, and the Army Of
the Potomac separated, says the New
ork Press. Some were sent to Fort
Monroe and other points south. The
German division went down through the
Shenandoah, Sumner in command at
first, then Fremont andafterwards Sigel.
l was with the latter, and many and
many n long and wcarisome march we
had. Finally one day we came to q
branch of the Shenandoah. There were
no pontoons, and we waded across, the
water up to our shoulders. We kept
marching along, our wet clothing catch
ing and retaining the dust We were
Just about getting dry when we struck
the same river and waded it again, to
our exceeding discomfort.
Later on the same day we werN
sickened with the sight of another turn
of the river. The Thirty y-ninth regi-
ment, New York volunteers were in ad-
vance when the order was given to wade
across. They kicked and refused, and,
the rear coming up, block ensued. A
musician of the Thirty.ninth, an f. fiat
cornet player,who was one of the jolliest
men | ever knew, ade rush for the
river, waded up until the water reached
nearly to his armpits and began playing
an exquisite waltz.
The sight of that fellow playing under
such circumstances was SO comical that
the soldiers, forgetting all discomforts,
cheered him, and when he had finished
followed him with rush, and the divi-
sion camped on the other side for the
night.
