Desert Lizards.

There is no place like the desert for
lizards. AS man rides through the
white sands or over the black malapai
mountains in Arizona or southeastern
California and sees the flash and sour
ry of these brilliant and graceful crea-
lures the suggestion of death and soil
tude is broken, and, behOlding so much
life, he is brought to wonder if the
country is really a desert or only land
to which a man is not adapted, for
here are animals which never drink,
yet frisk about through thOrns and
cactus and fatten on the bitter plants.
Many desert prospectOr had lain
down with his burrOs to die and seen
on the rocks about him the black heads
of the chuckwalla lizards outlined
against the brazen sky. The chuck
wallas were happy and corpulent with
good eating. 1t was their country.
For thousands Of generations their an
cestOrs had never thirsted for water,
and plants which the starving burrOS
passed by furnished both food and
drink for the scaly natives on the
rocks. Next to the slow moving and
deadly ella monster the chuckwalla
is the largest lizard Of the desert, being
from a foot to a foot and a half in
ength.-COuntry Life In America.

How Snakes Fascinate.

The cobra of the Cape fascinates
birds by coiling itself on a branch,
erecting its head and swinging to and
fro. Sundowner states that the snake
will go on fascinating and keeping
the bird twittering and unable to leave
the tree in which it is "fOr hours" and
that if the bird is driven away it comes
back. This may be yarn" but from
the curious fascination which nOnter-
rifying objects, such as clark glitters,"
have for some birds and their apparent
inability to resist lowering around the
lure the far greater mesmeriZing power
of the serpent may be cOnjectured.
Movement, more or less regular, is al
ways part of the means of fascination
employed by snakes. Their fOndneSs
for music of any kind is not extended
to the sound of the human voice sing
ing, which snakes clearly do not appre-
ciate at ALL They only care for ''in-
strumental music" which includes the
concertina, tomtom and Jews harp.
But from experiments made in this
country it was evident that they like
the bagpipes best.-SpectatOr

Virgiuia,s Only Slave.

The state of Virginia once owned a
slave, the only one probably the COM
monwealth ever did own. He was
known as Ben the Bell Ringer of the
University of Virginia. The university
only had 5000 left over when it was
endowed, and it was proposed to buy a
negro with this amount and keep him
as a bell ringer. They bought Ben,
and in his time he became a great char
acter at the university. He knew ev-
erybody and was very useful to every
body. Ben used to get very drunk on
the liberal and constant fees he re-
ceived from students. He died in the

Brought Down From Heaven

According to MOhammedan belief,
the first copy of the Koran, or Alkoran,
their sacred book, was brought down
from the highest to the lowest heaven
by Gabriel OH the mysterious night of
Al Khade in the month of Ramadan.
This wonderful book, written in heav-

of twenty-three years. This was done,

COLORADO MILITIA SCANDAL
GENERAL CHASE HAS CHARGES
AGAINST HIM BY GOVERNOR.
Extra Employment Of colonels, Gen.
erals Drawing Big Salary and
Padded Pay Rolls to Be lnvesti-
gated-Court Martial Ordered-All
Kinds of ScandIe.

Denver, Colo, Oct. I'm connection
with rumors that a scandal of wide
reaching character has developed in
the management of the Cripple Creek
campaign Of the Colorado national
guard, Governor James H. Peabody
has given out the following state.
ment:
Charges and specifications against
certain men and officers in the Colo
RADIO national guard have been filed
with me which will be Immediately
inquired into. They are charges of
most serious nature and | shall
order a court martial to investigate
them thoroughly. The charges filed
with me will be probed to the very
bottom and any one found guilty Of
the charges made, no matter who he
is, will not be permitted to escape
punishment, no matter whether it is
an officer of the highest rank or a
private without rank.
General Chase has not been re-
moved, but he will remain in Denver
loF tHe present.
"The court martial l have ordered
will convene in Denver as soon as 1t
can conveniently do SO, | have not
determined who will be appointed on
it."
The governor declined to give the
name of any of those against whom
charges have been made, but it is an
nounced that Adjutant General Sher-
man M. Bell, Colonel Frederick Gross,
paymaster general; Colonel Frank
Kimball, assistant paymaster general A.;
Major Arthur M. Williams; General
Chase's adjutant, and perhaps 9th.
ers have been ordered to Denver at
once, though whether to stand trial
or to appear as witnesses it is not
positively known.
Charges Are Most Serious.
Among the charges to be investi
gated are said to be:
| Padded payrolls; the employment
of superfuous generals anu colonels
who drew the salary of their rank
but who performed sergeant's duties;
general extravaganza in the purchase
of supplies for the commissary de
partment; the charge that certain Of
ficers have been securing rakeofi
from contractors; the issuance by
wholesale of transportation between
Cripple Creek and Denver to officers
and enlisted men, their famliies and
friends, and charging the same to
the state; the charge that the book.
keeping of the camp is kept in such
way as to admit Of grating; the
surreptitious raising of men with a
"pull' from non-commissioned officers
to captains, majors and colonels; the
erection of separate quarters for each
colonel, thus involving the state in a
heavy, but practically needless ex'
pense; the purchase of spoiled beef
for the enlisted men at sky high
prices; carelessness and recklessness
in the handling of finances that is
said to be appalling.
The above charges are said to have
been filed by General Chase against
subordinate officers, while charges OF
exceeding his authority and dis
regarding the direct orders of the
commander in chief, Governor Pea
body, are said to lie against the com
manding general himself.

join the hens. turkeys and pigeons
