There is a species Of beetle in Aus
tralia which act the role of ener-
getic undertakers that carefully bury
carcasses left on the soil. AS soon as
they smell fieldmouse, mole or a fish
in state of decomposition. they come
by troops to bury it. getting under the
body. following out the ground with
their legs and projecting the rubbish
they dig out in all directions Little by
little the carcass sinks, and at the end of
"a hours the hole is several inches<deep.
They then mount it, cast the earth down
into the grave so as to fill it and hide
the body from sight. The females will
then lay their eggs in the tomb. where
the larvae will afterward find an
abundance of food.

JEALOUS LIZARDS.
They Showed Their Anger When

They showed Their Anger When
Their Owner FondIed Others.
NJ. }. 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 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-
sonally 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.
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 weekes 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 female. Her adj
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 l could
keep him for hours motionless by pass
ing my hand lightly along his body;
but if took Pierre or another lizard up
his rage broke out at once, and he
would jump upon him with his mouth
menacingly wide open.
IF, however. 1 chose the large lizard.
he gradually drew back, as if 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 caressed by their
mothers, who licked, bit and amused
them. and it is not strange that thes
should find in our cajolery 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 a COM
panion of little more respectable
species, and that is all.
