The Fabulous BasiIisk.

The basilisk was the most famous of the many fabulous monsters of medive- val folklore. According to the popular notion it was matched by toad from an egg laid by the cock of the common barnyard fowl! In the ancient picture books it was usually represented as an eight limbed serpent or dragon, some times with and sometimes without wings. It's name is derived from basil iscos, meaning little king, and was ap- piled because the creature was figured with circle of white spots on its head which much resembled a crown. The cockatrice, species of basilisk, besides having crown possessed comb which was an exact counterpart of the cocks.
 Pliny assures us that the basilisk had a voice which "struck terror to the hearts of men, beasts and serpents. !" The Bible classes it with the lion, the serpent and the dragon as one of the most formidable creatures. Old writers, Pliny, Bascho and others, say that it's bite was mortal in every case; that it's breath was suffocating, and that no plant would grow in the vicinity of its lair. Its dead body was often used, suspended in bel fries, to prevent swallows from building there.-St. Louis Republic.
