and settlements in Arizona, tax
ing care always to keep their
bare fAat out of the way OF the
mcanny-looking lizard, Some
times, too, ella monsters,
strapped to a board like planked
shad, would be offered for sale at
prices ranging from u media (6t
eents) to a toston $50 cents),
with few or no buyers. In the
event that nobody wanted to in
crease his menagerie with one of
the wicked looking beasts, it was
generally stoned to death by it's
owners as protest against its
general uselessness.
Several years ago ella mon
aters -hecame somewhat in de-
mana for Eastern collectors, and
stuffed OF in the flesh they COM
mand better prices now, large
specimens, presumably wanted
for geological gardens, being.
paid for at good figures. Strange
ly enough, since the interest in
reptiles has grown it has become
somewhat scarce. In fact, the
capture OF one and its transition
to a wire rat trap in the shop of
a taxmidermist in an Arizona
town 10 considered worthy of an
item by the local reporter. No
sooner has the news of the dis
tlnguished arrival been heralded
than it is gravely inspected by
every tenderfoot in town, who
posters its owner with 80 MANY
sdarn fool' questions that he is
glad to hide his acquisition in
the back yard.
Most of the fabulous stories
circulated about the ella mon
ster have had their origin in the
minds OF curio sellers, who were
thus bored to death by the seek
er after information who was not
willing to buy something and
thus recoup the business man
for his loss of time and the en-
nni that answering greenhorns
produced,
Whatever may have been said
about the looks OF the ella mon
ster, it is Il fact that it is a re-
pulsive, crawling, uncanny rep
tile, perhaps not so ugly as many
another lizard--the ignana, for
lnstance-but instinctively ab-
horred because it is so slow.
Flight being a matter of impos-
sibility with abe Gila monster,
and as it lacks the cunning to
feign death, it must necessarily
assume a bold front when threat
'sned with capture or injury, and
that it knows how to do in a
manner which make even those
totally ignorant of the danger
they run careful of too close an
approach.
The length of the monsters U.S.
naily captured varies from one
foot to two feet and few inches.

The weight will average from.
three to five pounds. The head
is more lance-shaped than that
of any other lizard found in
Arizona, the consequence being
tnat the narrow neck is very
pronounced and imparts to the
head while it moves something
very much like the rattlesnake's
. performance.
When attacked the ella mon
