Lizards Thnt GROW New Exe..

The tuatara lizard of New Zealand is
said to be one of the most ancient forms
of animal life now existing. IT original
ly possessed four eyes, but now has to
be contented with but two. 1t lays eggs.
and these take no less than ID months
to hatch out, the embryos passing the
winter in a state of Information.
These remarkable animals are found
only in one or two places in the colony.
and they are rapidly becoming scarce.
as collectors from every part of the
world are continually on their track
They are about rs inches in length, and,
like many of the lizards, are said to
have the characteristic of being able to
replace portions of their limbs. etc,
which have been destroyed. One owned
by Mr.. Carl Hansen Of Awanui had the
misfortune to lose an eye some time ago.
and now a complete new eye, as perfect
as the unchanged one. has grown in
the place of that lost.
While the eye was developing the
lizard seemed TO be no more inconven-
fenced than human being is in the
growing CT finger nails or hair.

Thirty-fourth street. 1t would have been
difficult to have selected more incle-
ment or disagreeable weather than that
which prevailed all the time the Raleigh
was passing in review before the thou
sands of enthusiastic people who lined
the river banks and gave her their
hearty cheers of welcome home. The
cruiser did not leave her anchorage off
Tompkinsville for the parade up the bay
and the Hudson river until shortly be-
fore noon. An hour before that time n
drizzling rain commenced to fall, and
this soon turned into a steady down.
pour which continued the remainder Of
the day.
Heroes Drenched with Cold Rain.
The air was raw and the officers and
men of the Raleigh stood upon the decks
three hours drenched to the skin and
shivering with the cold. There were
very few people along the river front in
the lower part of the city, owing partly
to the weather and partly to the fact
that the entrances to the piers are gen.
orally closed on Sundays. But great
crowds assembled at Riverside park,
overlooking the Hudson, and men, wCm-
en- and children stood there for hours
under umbrellas. watching the vessels on
their way up the river and on their re-
turn. BY far the greatest gathering of
people was in the vicinity of Grants
tomb, which was the turning point of
the parade. A national salute was fired
there by the Raleigh and also by the
captured Spanish prizes, and the scene
was rendered a memorable one by the
shrieking of hundred steam, Whistles
from excursion boats and locomotives
and cheers from thousands of people on
shore and on the vessels in the river.
Cold Reception by the Weather.
Captain Coghlan was on the bridge
nearly all theway up the river with the
executive and navigating officers All
were bundled up in rain coats, and re-
ceived the full force of the storm in their
faces. The captain was obliged to bare
his head to the rain great part of the
time in waving his cap in response to
the salutes and cheers of passing YES
sells. The officers paid little attention to
the storm, and waved their caps con-
stantly. not appearing to mind the soak
ing which their dress uniforms and their
bodies as well received. As for the SAIL
ors, they never thought of shelter at ALL |
a few were clad in oil skins, but most
of them stood on the exposed forecastle
with nothing but their blue jackets COW
ering their shoulders and most of the
time with their hats flying in the air.

TO Answer questions.
New York, April 17-Richard Croker
was again the chief witness at Satur-
days session of the Mazet investigating
committee, which was confined to the
morning. The Tammany leader pro-
duced several sensations, but these
suited more from his counter charges
than from any unexpected revelations
wormed out of him by the tireless Moss.
Croker declared that Senator Platt's
firm was at the bottom of all the cor
ruption in New York city. Go on and
examine Mr. Platt's firm and find out
what his boys are in. if you want to be
honest" shouted Croker. He also init
mated that he believed Moss had been
none too honest while police commits
sioner of this city. once or twice dur
ing the dramatic exchange of accusa-
ton and denial between lawyer and
leader tempers were lost on both sides
There was no yelling of the accusa-
tons of dishonesty implied by the ques-
tons which Moss hurled at Croker. and
which almost invariably were met with
the reply: Il decline to answer" Stock
transactions, Croker maintained, were
personal matters" Moss endeavored to
badger Croker into telling of his per-
sonal affairs, and finally told the Tam
many leader that he dared" not tell.
Cookers examination was not con-
cluded-
The only other witness whose testi-
mony attracted attention was Porter
2 Meyer. Cookers business partner.
He, too. took refuge behind the plea
that personal matters" should not be
examined into. and as result his evil
dence resulted only in the inadvertent
admission. later qualified. that Croker
had him (sIeyer) appointed a deck COM

as Croker and as audacious.

London, April 1.-THE Rome CORE
spondent Of TIE Daily News, describing
the Thanksgiving mass yesterday at st.
Peters cathedral says: When the
pope came into view the people whisp-
cred. He had the appearance of ghost
when his face, overshadowed by the
ghtterinS tiara, became discernible,
with the dark eyes peering from the
deep sockets. His hands trembled vio-
lently and sad smile played over the
colorless lips. Holbein might have
painted him then as the personification
of the vanity of human splendor. With
his left hand he waved sad greetings,
while the right did its feeble best to
mark the act of blessing. During the
mass he sat with folded hands Twice
he rose, and he was supported while he
knelt in prayer reading the benediction.
His voice was scarcely audible. but in
the absolute silence his first words were
caught by the assembled multitude.
Too Weak tn Raise Himself.
He tried to raise himself, but fell
back and pronounced the remainder in
recumbent position. a loud cry, like
the bursting of storm broke from the
congregation. and the pope. stretching
his hand in benedictiCn, was carried
out"
The Rome correspondent Of The Daily
Telegraph, who found the contrast be-
tween the glittering ceremony and the
Cebilitated figure of the pope more
painful than moving" says: "Tae whole
ceremony was undu!y hurried. The
pope remarked TO an attendant after
ward: All. how weak l feel. / wonder
If this will go down to history as my
