A L0ITERING LIZARD.

He Il Now Securely Looked Up in . Quaker
City Home.
Philadefphia Inqu1rer.l
Clerk DAILY, of Dooner's Hotel, yesterday
afternoon rescued from the spiteful attacks
of two sparrows a beautiful specimen of
horned lizard that Is believed to have been
carried in the winds vortex from far dis
tant. The little reptile was discovered
when the wind was highest, just before the
rain.
It was seeking escape across Tenth street
from the tormenting birds which hindered
its progress until almost run over by . car
1t looked 80 desperate with its horny scales
that great care was exercised in effecting the
capture. It now sports cigar box home
and bed of water-cress.
The creature in appearance is broad and
squatty. Its back is covered with thorny
armor and halo of horns encircle its head,
which it carries elevated, as if listening.
It is of the agamide family, known to
natural science with an alphabet-exhaust-
ing name in Latin, but commonly called q
horned toad, frog or lizard, really belonging
to the latter class.
Strangest of all is where the reptile
could have come from. The cloud theory
Is urged because its kind IL unknown in
these parts, it being native Of the stony
and sandy districts of Mexico. Texas,
Oregon and California The wind was
blowing a gale just before it was seen, and
was sufficient in velocity to have carried q
creature of its size q great distance. Its
ultimate destination will probably be the

Some Recent Inventions which Are Novel
rs We'll as Useful.
A combined crank and pedal pin made
from one piece of metal, thereby saving
nut, ETC., necessary to connect the two in
the ordinary way, is coming into vogue.
This combination is intended chiefly ior use
on racing machines, where the saving of
weight that it renders possible is matter
OF great Importance.
An interesting novelty is steam bicycle,
to be run by boiler 18 inches by inches,
suspended from the upper frame rod of an
Armand model B, with gasoline for fuel.
The boiler has regular steam gauge and is
supposed to stand q pressure OF 30 pounds
to the square inch. The cylinders are 2
inches and the piston rod is to act on gear
ing in the crank shaft. The gearing is ar
ranged to tor crank axle and 1X for rear
wheel, which gives about 60-inch gearing.
In recent list of patent theatrical ap-
pliances is device to aid in producing the
illusory effect of a bicycle race on the stage.
It consists in a bicycle mounted to have its
wheels free from contact with the surface on
which it appears to run, its front and rear
wheels geared together, and its pedals free
to be operated by the rider. The supports
Of the machine are secured to and projected
up from a carriage adapted to be moved
over the stage. The carriage carries suit
ably arranged duct-making devices, oper-
ated by the motion of the bicycle wheels,
whereby the illusory effect of the race is
rendered more effective.

Gladstone's Power of Remembering IL
Something Astonishing.
Detroit Free Press.1
Mr. Gladstone is known among his col
leagues in public life as ''the man with the
terrible memory" and yet it has been said
of him that he has forgotten more than
most British statesmen ever knew. His
memory has always been good, but he has
improved it greatly by forcing it to retain
facts that other men make memoranda of
and forget
When he was Prime Minister 1t was
his practice to keep the run of all the
details of business with the execution of
which three secretaries were intrusted.
Mr.. Gladstone possesses the invaluable ac-
complishment OF putting to use all the odd
moments of his tin, 1t is then that the
bulk of his correspondence, which exceeds
in volume that Of any of his contemporaries,
is disposed Of His autograph is more ia
miliar to Englishmen than that of any other
public man.

Cemetery lot
b. Louis Post-Dispatch.l
The Union Trust Company was yesterday
made the trustee of large sum of money
deposited with it by the family of the late
Colonel John j. O'Fallon upon a trust
which is to continue for great number Of
years, the object of which is to secure the
mainte nance of the O'Fallon lot in Belle
fontaine Cemetery. The duties of the
trustees are to see to it that this sum and
the income from it are from time to time
applied as occasion requires in keeping up
in frst-class style the monument and sur
rounding grounds in the family lot.
This trust is something unusual, but sug-
gests a most effective and satisfactory
method whereby persons may absolutely
insure the perpetual care of the last resting
place of members of their family. Doubt
less the example of the O'Fallons will be
followed by many others uow that such .
satisfactory method has been pointed out.

founders of the Republic, who wore petit

Taxation Without Representation.
One hundred years ago the Revolutionary
fathers waged q war against the Mother
Country for attempting to collect ''tup-
penny" tax upon tea without granting the
right of representation in the government
to the taxpayers Now mark the slow ad-
vance in the growth of Justice in over q
century, in the fact that the sons of these
same sires collect taxes from every woman
who owns property, and deny to her the
representation for which their fathers
fought iu the Revolution. In the Treas
ury of Pittsburg are piled up thousands and
thousands of dollars every year taken from,
women in taxes, who are one and all denied
voice in the way they shall be expended.
Men without dollars worth of property
at stake have all ''the say SO" as plai6-
speaking woman calls it.
This sort of thing was called robbery"
by the revolutionary fathers, but 1t goes on
just the same. as of old. George the Thirds

as his fi'l high positions in church and

statesmen of England century ago were
dubbed "pick pockets" Would it be a
'talse and scandalous libeP' to say the same
of some in these days?
Let US have glorious celebration next
year. but let US also have some improve
ments in accordance with the spirit of the
age. Let us hope that some of the bar
barous features may be abated. Powder
and dynamite are useful in promoting the
arts OF peace and in bringing in hidden
mines of wealth, but as expressions of pa
