A VALUABLE Newspaper library.

A most interesting and valuable
scrap-book collection is that Of Miss
Dora Burstall, Of the Omaha public IL
brary, This young lady, who presldes
over the reading rooms and takes care
of the newspaper files, became pos
sessed of the idea that there was a
great loss Of information when every
month these files were destroyed, and
she began to clip from them systemat-
ically. Enthusiastic and faithful in her
work, 1t steadily grew, until now, with
the assistance of the head librarian,
who recognized It's value, 1t has become
a comprehensive bureau Of information.
In neat rows on long lines Of. shelves
are ranged the big cardboard envel-
opes, book shaped, that in alphabetical
order contain clippings from the best
known newspapers of every large city,
comprising a wide and varied range Of
topics. One department Of this unique
collection is devoted to biography, and
in this the clippings are mounted, and
when possible the sketch Is headed by
a portrait. These are well patronized
by the local newspaper people, who
want to have cuts made. Each clipping
has marked upon 1t the paper from
which it was taken and the date of Its
appearance.
For the benefit Of the public school

known to natural
lists as the chlamydosaurus or frilled
lizard, is still to be found In the north
ern part of Australia. The finest ex-
amples are usually about three feet in
length, the slender, hard, tapering tail
being a little longer than the body.
The remarkable frill that gives this
lizard its more popular name seems to
Ibe development of the skin Of the
neck. This takes the form Of a ruffle
or gored collar, bearing striking re-
semblance to some Of the present femi-
nine styles Of shoulder capes and col
larettes. While the animal is undiss
turbed its frill hangs gracefully around
tts back and breast in ripping folds or
platts. When, however, 1t is provoked,
1ntruded upon or assailed, Its opens its
mouth and elevates Its frill, so that the
latter stands out almost at right angles
with Its body. 1t is swift runner,
and, when alarmed, it usually makes
for tree, but If overtaken, 1t faces
about boldly, displaying its sharp
teeth in the cavity of Its frill, This
striking effect is shown in one Of the
accompanying illustrations 1t is said
that it uses its tail like whip when
fighting, lashing about with 1t IN a
furious manner. The neck and face
muscles, by which the up and down
movements of the frill are made, are

mouth and the erection of the frill &C.
cur simultaneously. So startling and
formidable does the lizard appear with
ita neck ruffle suddenly thrown out
like an inverted parasol, that its pur-
suing enemy will usually stink away
from the chase in terror. Concerning
tho use of the frill there is some differ
ence of opinion among naturalists.
The older authorities believed that the
lizard made a weapon of the toothed
edge Of its open frill when fighting,
and some writer's describe the crea-
lures teeth as formidable" But
Mr.. w. Saville-Kent, in a late number
Of Popular Science News, states that
Ythe function of the frill is purely that
Of a scare organ" This writer
holds that the lizard is not a natural
fighter, and that when its little strata
gem Of raising its frill is disregarded
It is practically at the mercy Of an or
binary enemy. That the chlamydo-
saurus can stand and run on its hind
feet, in an almost erect attitude, is a
comparatively late discovery, the re-
suit of study of the animal in captiv-
ity. It does not enjoy the restraints
of civilization, however, friendliness
not being one of its characteristics.
But for the fact that Its keeper takes
advantage Of its open mouth to drop
Into it pieces of meat, when its frill is
raised in anger, the creature would
persist in starving itself to DEATH

with the policy of non-intervention in

not appeared In the whole conduct of

which the non-Greek Christians OF
Turkey suffered was regarded With any
degree Of adherence. Certainty no
Russian official has lifted a finger to
relieve them. From various SOURCES 1t
has become public that the Car and
Czarina have recently been appraised OF
the real nature Of Turkish oppression
and massacre and have been much
moved by the sentiment Of the rest of
the Christian world in regard to Rus
sia's responsibility for them. It Is said
that the Car sought to modify Prince
Lobanoff's stern, unbending policy, but
failed. He has now an opportunity to
inaugurate a different one, II he does
not, then the full weight Of censure
from every Christian nation Of the
world should rest upon him. He has
the power to make such massacres an
impossibllity. If he does not exercise
that power he will be held responsible
for them.

strange traveller of that name, was thO
first to introduce the use Ut tho fork
into England, in the beginning OF the
seventeenth century. He says that he
observed its use in Italy only because
the Italian cannot by any means en-
dure to have his dish touched with fin-
gers, seeing all mems fingers are not
alike clean" These little forks"
were usually made of iron or steel, but
occasionally also Of silver. Coryate

italian fashion by this forked cutting
Of meat" and that hence humorous
English friend, "in his merry humor,
doubted not to call me furcifer, only
for using fork at feeding" This pas
sage Is often quoted as fixing the earli-
est date Of the use of the fork in En-
gland; but, they were in reality, used
by the old Anglo-Saxons and through
out the Middle Ages. In 1884 some la
borers found, when cutting a deep
drnin at Servington, North Willis, a
deposit of seventy Saxon pennies, of
sovereigns ranging from Coenwulf,
King Of Mercla (796 A. d. to Ethelstan
(S7S-S9O; they had been packed in q
box of which there were some decayed
remains, and which also held some
articles of personal ornament, spoon,
and the fork which is first in the group
here engraved. The fabric and orna-
mentation Of this fork and spoon
would, to the practiced eye, be quite
sufficient evidence of the approximate
era of their manufacture, and their
juxtaposition with the coins confirms

For a Proper Municipal Building.


The District Commissioners yesterday
presented powerful arguments in favor of
a new municipal building in their letter to

Of Washington. The estimate Of 25OO, 900
for building comporting with the dignity
Of the nations capital is not too high.
especially in view Of the fact that this
structure under the project now advocated
Is to be shared by the courts and Is to be

present figures to prove this beyond Ques-
ton. The municipal building at Baltimore
