The basilisk was the most famous Of
the many fabulous monsters Of me-
diseval folklore. According to the
popular notion, It was Matched by q
toad from an egg laid by the cock Of
the common barnyard fowl. In the an
Gent picture books it was usually rep
resented as an eight limbed serpent or
dragon, sometimes with and sometimes
without wings. It's name is derived
from basiliscos, meaning little king,
and was applied because the creature
was figured with a circle OF white
spots on its head which much resem-
bled crown. The cockatrice, species
of basilisk, besides having a crown
possessed comb which was an exact
counterpart Of the cocks.
Pliny assures us that the basilisk had
a voice which ''struck terror to the
hearts of men, beasts and serpents. =
The Bible classes it with the lion. the
serpent and the dragon as one Of the
most formidable creatures. Old writer's,
Pliny. Bascho and others, say that its
bite was mortal in every case, that it's
breath was suffocating and that no
plant would grow In the vicinity Of it's
lair. Its dead body was often used,
suspended in belfries, to prevent swal-
lows from building there.

"You can never tell what jury will
do in the way Of awarding damages"
said lawyer. "Some years ago 1
happened to be present at a meeting
between a man injured in the big rail-
road wreck on the Lake Shore, at Ash
tabula, and representatives of the road.
The man asked $25, 900, and the rail-
road had offered $4,000. The man
told his story, and 1t was a terrible
one. 1t seems that he was caught in
the wreck and held by one foot, which
was pinioned down. The wreck caught
fire, and the flames crept toward him.
Firemen and others around saturated
his clothing with water and placed
wet blankets over him, but he was not
released until his foot was burned off.
1t was grewsome story.
Zone of the directors of the road was
present. He took the claim agent aside
and said: Give that man $4,000. If
he tells his story in court, he will get
damages enough to put the road into
the hands of receiver He got the
money."-New York Tribune.

NATURES ICEHOUSE.
Food For Birds That In Preserved n
the Arctic Regions.

the Arctic Regions.
The number of birds that go to the
arctic regions to breed is vast beyond
conception. They go not by thou
sands, but by tens and hundreds Of
thousands, and because nowhere else
in the world does nature provide at
the same time and in the same place
such lavish prodigality of food.
The vegetation consists Of cranberry,
cloudberry and crowberry bushes. and
these, forced by the perpetual sun
nous crops of fruit. But the crop 10
not ripe until the middle and end Of
the arctic summer, and if the fruit eat
Ing birds had to wait until it was ripe
they would starve in the meantime, SO
they arrive on the very day Of the
melting Of the snow.
But each year the snow descends on
an immense crop Of ripe fruit before
the birds have time to gather it. 1t ia
thus preserved perfectly fresh and
pure, and the melting of the snow dis
closes the bushes, with the unconsum-
ed last years crop hanging on them
or lying, ready to be eaten, ON the
ground.
The frozen meal stretches across the
breadth of northern Asia. 1t never
decays and is accessible the moment
the snow melts. The same heat which
thaws the fruit brings into being the
most prolific insect life in the world
the mosquito swarms on the tundra.
No European can live there without a
veil after the snow melts. The gun
barrels are black with them, and
clouds Of them often obscure the sight.
Thus the insect eating birds have
only to open their mouths to fill them
with mosquitoes, and thus the pres
ence of swarms of cliff chaffs, pipis
and the wagtails in this arctic region
is accounted for.-Pearson's.

The Inventor of stoves.

While Benjamin Franklin was born
in Boston, he can be said to belong to
Pennsylvania as truly as does William
Penn, who was born in England, but
came here, as did Franklin, from Bos-
ton. And how many people In Phila-
delphia-or elsewhere in the United
States-knOw that we are indebted
largely to Franklin for the stoves
which a century ago began to replace
the fireplaces and more crude arrange
ments for CRATES warming our houses
The Franklin stove, which in its days
of early development was merely por-
table iron fireplace, with open front, in
which wood was burned to heat an
apartment, was given it's name because
1t was invented by Benjamin Franklin
and was really the connecting link be-
tween the rude fireplaces Of the last
century and the stoves Of today.
