The Fabulou. nn.ilisL-

The basilisk was the most famous OF
the many fabulous monsters of me-
di@val folklore. According to the
popular notion, it was Matched by a
toad from an egg laid 10y the coSk OF
the common barnyard fowl. In the an
Gent picture books Il 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 a little king.
and was applied because the creature
was figured with a circle OF white
spots on it's head which much resem-
bled a crown. The cockatrice. a species
of basilisk. besides having a crown
possessed a 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 il with the lion, the
serpent and the dragon as one OF the
most formidable creatures. Old writer's.
Pliny, Bascho and others. say that it's
bite was mortal in every case. that it's
breath was suffocating and that no
plant would grow in the vicinity Of its
lair. Its dead body was often used,
suspended IN belfries. TO prevent swal-
lows from building there.

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 I'm 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 i'm 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 its name because
1t was invented by Benjamin Franklin
and was really the connecting link b
tween the rude fireplaces of the i,','.
century and the stoves of today

CUBAN RECIPROCITY PLAN
The Republican Caucus Adopts the
Payne-Siblsy Compromise.
Vote Stood 85 70 31-Beet sugsr Men
Fought to the End-Their Amend.
ments Rejected.

Washington. D. C.-By a vote Of s.
to 81 the House Republicans decided In
favor Of the Payne proposition for Gu
ban reciprocity as amended by Mr..
Sibley. Previously they had voted
down the Dick and Morris propositions.
offered by the beet sugar men.
The proposition as adopted favors a
twenty per cent. reciprocal cut in the
tariff for Cuba. The Ways and
Means leaders accepted the amend.
ment offered by Representative Sib'
ley. Of Pennsylvania, limiting the time
for the reduction to December 81. 1903.
The immigration was restricted and
other features cf the Ways and Means
proposition remained In the measure.
When the conference met 135 mem.
bers were present. Mr.. Cannon. the
Chairman, called the meeting to order.
After q wrangle IL was agreed that
there should be two hours Of debate
equally divided between the two sides.
Chairman Payne led Of the discus.
sion In a fve.minute speech. He said
the Ways and Means people were Will
ing to agree to limit being placed on
the time the reduction should be In
force.
Representative Dick, Of Ohio. out.
lined the stand Of the beet sugar peo-
pie. and proposed. In the form Of res
olution. the bounty plan heretofore
outlined-the payment to Cuba for
three years Of twenty per cent. Of the
duties collected on Cuban imports.
A vote was taken later and the boun-
ty plan was defeated 70 to 81.
Representative Payne closed the de-
bate for the advocates Of the twenty
per cent. reduction. He urged all Re.
publIcans for the sake Of party har.
moly to vote for the proposition.
which. he said. was the best could be
done under the circumstances.
The first test vote was when the pre-.
vious question was ordered by iS to
&c. After the defeat Of the Dick amend
ment by 81 to Is. some Of the minority
withdrew from the chamber.
Mr.. Morris, of Minnesota, Of the
beet sugar forces, offered an amend.
ment taking on the differential on re-
fined sugar. This was defeated. so to
72. This cleared the way for the final
vote, which was taken at 11.30 o'clock.
The bill will now be pressed and
passed. and will then 60 to the Senate.
In spite Of the recent Indications of
Senatorial detection there Is practically
no doubt, as things stand now. that
the upper house will agree to it-prob-
ably with amendments. which the
House will accept.
