SONG-LOVlNG LIZARDS.
to Be Particularly Fond of RoI-
licking Choruses.

A curious fact has lately been
learned about the tuatara, the large
native lizard of New Zealand.
1t is great fat, sleepy thirg, from
foot upward in length, with a meas
urement around of about IL inches It
Is kept tanned, about rocks. Wild
specimens are growing rare, though
one island off the coast yet swarms
with them.
These harmless things come out as
rule only for food. But sorue one in
ChristNhurch, at Auckland, has dis
covered way Of bringing them out
at any time. This is by singing to
them.
They have their preferences in mu-
sic, too. They evince much more sat
isfaction at rollicking chorus than
at solo.
One day a song sung by a girl
brought some out, but only their heads
were visible, their sleepy eyes open
ing every few minutes. Then the
charmer tried Soldiers of the Queen"
and when all Joined In the chorus
there vas no doubt about the effect
on the tuataras.
They wriggled about on the rocks,
almost dancing in their excitement and
joy, until the repertoire of the singers
was exhausted, when the lizards
sneaked back again to their home
among the rocks.
New Zealand is the only place In
the world where these great lizards
are found, and they are said by biolo-
gists to be out Of their place in this
stage Of the worlds history They
belong to the coal period, and like
the moa, ought, by natural laws, to
have become extinct long ago.
Prof. Bull explained that for econo-
my's sake the patient ate only six
meals a day, but his capacity possible
was as great as 20. and that the man
had swallowed some acid year and a
half ago which resulted in a contrac-
ton Of the esophagus. making it nee
essary for him to take his nourishment
through q tube.

q line across the center or the board
each way, and glue or tack one of these
blocks on the line on each side of the
board and close to the edge, as shown
in the illustration. Next measure off
from the inside edge of the blocks, to-
ward the center. and on the line, one
inch from each block drive a one-inch
brad or single nail, so that it shall
stick up above the surface of the board
exactly flve-eighths of an inch. Next
buy at the hardware store five little
brass curtain rings one-half inch in
diameter, which should not cost over
a penny or two, and the game is fin
ished. The board may be painted or
stained some pretty color if desired.
Two or four may play the game. If
four are to play you may play partners.
Having seated yourselves about the
board. which should be placed upon
q small center table. the first player
begins by taking the five rings, which
count five EACH and one at a time
places them on the sloping block
(called battery, and placing the in
dex finger on the inside of the ring,
gives 1t q quick snap up the incline so
that it will encircle the peg of his OPP
ponent directly opposite. Should he
fail to land it, he allows it to remain
on the board until he has thrown all
the rings. If he succeeded in getting
any Of the rings over the peg, the one
chosen to keep tally puts down the
score to the player. The next player in
turn then takes the rings and proceeds
as with the first. and so on until all
have played. when the score Is counted
1t is best to have fixed number at the
start to play for; say so or 100.-N. K.

THE GAME OF BATTERY.
It Not Only Affords Plenty Of Amuse.
mAnt But Fine Chance for
Real Skill as Well.

l am going to tell the boys how to
make new game that will afford plen-
" OF amusement and a chance for
much skill. The game is called Bat
terry, and was originated by the writer.
The little blocks on each side repre-
sent fort, and the rings used are
are bombshells. When a player sue
ceeds In throwing one over the peg Of
his opponent, the bomb is supposed to
have dropped into the enemys fort.
Any smart boy, who can use a saw,
plane and pocket knife, can make the
game in few hours The material
excepting the rings, you will probably
find somewhere about the premises,
but if not, few pennies will purchase
them.
Procure a nice, smooth piece of
board, soft or hard wood, one-half inch
thick and eight inches square as shown
In the illustration. Next make four
little wedge-shapGd pieces. ~ inches
long by two inches wide at top, and
tapering to one-fourth of an inch at
the bottom end. The pieces should be
One-half inch thick and taper from the
wide end to almost nothing at the
small end. This is to give them a
slanting surface when glued in their
proper places on the board. Now draw

most abundant or typical fossil may
give name to the subdivision in
which it occurs. The mining zone of
course Is marked by the presence of
gold or other mineral which may char
acterize the zone. The first gold zone
extends from the Klondike in the east
along the Yukon river, the Yukon hills.
and on the west to the Nome district.
The zone follows a straight line as
though nature in planting her gold
mines had followed something of the
regular system of the farmer in plant
ing his rows of corn
The new zone as we have already in
timated is to the south of the old zone
and apparently extends from near
White Horse, the head of the Yukon
navigation, along the northern foot
hills Of the Mckinley mountain range
and thence westward and southwark to
Cook inlet and Bristol bay, distance
of 1000 miles. AS indicated on the
map here produced the zone in this
case follows a curved line, keeping
close to the mountain ranges all the
way. It is altogether conjecture at
the present time as to the value of the
new zone as gold producer That
there is really gold there is certain
from the present diggings, and that it
probably extends over the district is
reasonably sure.
Gold was first discovered in Alaska
in 1879, and since that time over $780,
100000 worth has been taken out of
the mines there. There has been 9
steady increase in the production from
year to year, except in 1901. when tbs
production, which was $6,SS5, 701, was
over million and half less than the
production of the year before. 1t may
not be generally known that some sill.
yer is also produced by the mines o,
Alaska, but such is the case. In fact
where gold is found there is nearly al.
ways some silver. In 1902 there wert
$4S,760 worth of silver produced The
first discovery Of gold on the Klondike
was made in August of the year 1896
by a man named George Mccormick
and the miners from the United States
and Canada were not slow in rushing
to the new Eldorado. Whether there
will be similar scenes in connection
with the gold discoveries Of the new
| zone remains to be seen. 1t largely de.

A NEW GOLD ZONE
IT IS WHOLLY WITHIN THE TER
RIToRY OF ALASKA.
Extends, It Is Said, Over a Distance
Of 1000 Miles in Curved Line
from White Horse to Bris-
toll Bay.

Inc veteran miner and prospector
@lll always tell you that he believes
mere are as good gold mines Yet UNI
discovered as have already enriched
the world with their yellow treasure
ana he keeps prospecting. He keeps
track OF every district which promises
gold, and watches for a strike that will
prove its value as a gold producer. The
Nome district in the far northwest Of
Alaska, and the Klondike region on
the eastern border line of the territory,
nave so long held the attention of the
reading public, and occupied the efforts
OF the gold seeker, that the news Of
new gold zone comes as a sort of I'M
expected surprise
1t is said that new discoveries indi-
cate the existence of second gold zone
lying considerably to the south and
west OF the present Klondike region.
Inc nrSt strike in the new zone has
Deen made in the Tanana hills, and
last summer rich new placers were
found In the Alsek country considera-
bly, to the west OF White Horse. Gold
has been discovered IN the Sustina and
other streams of western Alaska. while
still other placers. it is said, are being
worked on Bristol bay.
A zone In mining parlance conveys
something the same meaning as that
OF the term used in geology. In the
latter connection it has nearly the
same meaning as horizon A STRAIT

characterized by the presence Of GER
