JEALOUS LIZARDS.

They showed Their Anger When
Their Owner FondIed Others.
III. j. Delboeuf, French scientist,
declares that lizards are actuated by
feelings of love and may even become
victims of jealousy. In an article
which he wrote for a French scientific
review, he tells about two lizards
which he kept In his house for several
years, both of which evinced unmistak-
able evidences OF being troubled by the
same green-eyed monster which occa-
sionally plays havoc with the affairs of
human beings.
my first two lizards had been cap
tured-one in the Spanish Pyrenees and
the other at Tarn in France, wherefore
called them the Spanish and the
French lizards, but afterwards gave
them the names Pedro and Pierre" says
NJ. Delboeuf.
1.-THE two lizards lived on the best of
terms for several months. Pedro was
fond of following Pierre around, and
when Pierre one day was missing the
other was sad and disconsolate.
1t was three weeles before the lost
lizard was found, and then he was dis
covered upder the stair carpet, where
he had probably been all the time. In
the meantime another lizard was Sc
cured. The first two were males, while
the last conner was a female. Her ad-
vent brought on war between the two
former friends, which became so fierce
that they had to be placed in separate
cages and released one at time.
Pedro was jealous of my preference
and caresses." continued the scientist
"When he was on my sleeve | could
keep him for hours motionless by pass
ing my hand lightly along his body;
but IL took Pierre or another lizard up
his rage broke out at once, and he
would jump upon him with his mouth
menaclngly wide open.
IF, however, chose the large lizard,
he gradually drew back, as IL regretful'
ly, without leaving me. Now, what
good do caresses do lizard? Dogs and
cats, they tell us, are delighted with
them. But these animals, when they
were young, were cnressed by their
mothers, who licked. bit and amused
them. and IL is not strange that they
should find in our cnjolery kind OF rec
objection of motherly tenderness. They
play together, embrace one another
and press against one another. The
man who plays with them is like com
panion OF little more respectable
species, and that is all.
'In menageries, monkeys, bears,
lions, tigers and hyenas indulge in ca.
resses TO the point that some animals

Charles Dickens, il he is queried after
this fashion.
The game of initials" requires
nimbler wit. IL also requires pretty ac-
curate general knowledge OF persons
who are uppermost. The point is, when
the name OF some living celebrity is
mentioned, TO characterize the celebrity
In two or three words beginning with
the letters which make the celebrity's
initials, as, for instance:
Chauncey NJ. Depew-Celebrated Mer.

~, Critical.
Not all these examples are beyond
criticism, but as they are reported di.
rectly from gathering OF young folks,
held not long ago, they show pretty
conclusively that the game has an edu-
cational value.

More monsters of oIdcn Times,

The fossil remains OF an apparently
new species Of the ancient reptile named
by biologists the ''mosasaur" have just
been discovered In the chalk-beds of
northern France. These reptiles, which
became extinct ages ago. were Of enor-
nous size, some being 20 or more feet
in length. They had comparatively
slender bodies. like n snake. paddles
like n whale. and some OF the character
istic features OF lizard. They were
especially abundant in America, and
their remains have been found in New
Jersey and In the states bordering the
Gulf OF Mexico. as wei as west OF the

SOME NEW GAMES.
They Are Not Less Amusing because
They Are Instructive.


Only bright youngsters can success
fully play games like the two which
are described below, but when such
children take part in them. they are
not only interesting but also exceed
ingly instructive and stimulating
The leader of the game prepares as
many paper caps as there are children
To join in the game. Across the front
of each cap the name of an author or
n book is written in large print letters.
The caps are then placed on the heads
of the children-not by themselves, but
by the lcader--in such n way that no
one sees the name on his own cap. The
game Is then a game of guess-that is.
each player is kept busy trying To
guess the name on his own cap, the
only clew being afforded by the ques-
tons asked OF him by the other play
ers.

few moments by such questions IA
these:
How is the word 'jugular' spelled?"

AT one interview with Geronimo"
says Gen. Miles, II tried 10 explain TO
him the uselessness of contending
against the white race. / told him that
we had the use of steam aud the tele-
graph and the heliostat, both superior

and said TO Geronimo:
1--WE can watch your movements and
send messages over the tops of these
mountains, in q small part OF one day,
over distance which IL would take a
man on a swift pony 20 days TO travel
HE was both curious and incredu-
lous.
"'How is that?' he asked.
II asked the operator to open com
munication with the nearest station, Is
miles away He turned his instrument
upon that point and flashed a signal OF
attention. As quick as thought the sun
light was flashed back again. Then
Geronimo confessed that he had OBJ
served these flashes on the mountain
and had believed them to be the mani
festation of spirits.
"'From here to that point said l.,

turned on his heel, mounted his pony
