THE DEADLY GILA MONSTER.
Efforts Made to Learn the Only Anti

Efforts Made to Learn the Only Anti
dote for the Poison.
Although rattlesnakes are considered
dangerous from poisonous stand
point, they are very insignificant when
compared with the dreaded ella mon
ster Of the sandy deserts Of the south
western United States. Professor
William Wetherbee, who has been
studying these desert creatures, has
made a number Of very interesting and
important discoveries as to their nature
and general habits. This lizard-shaped
animal when full grown measures
about eighteen inches in length, and in
girth Is about the size Of an ordinary
boys arm. Its tail composes one-third
the length of its body, and its skin is
of a pustular nature and motley in
color, giving a reddish yellow and
brown effect It's legs are placed on it's
body similar in character to those of a.
lizard, but it has none of the rapidity
In movements of that animal 1t seeks
the hottest places in the desert, and de-
lights in heat ranging about 1876 de-
grees. According to Professor Wether-
bee. science does not know of single
antidote to the poison emitted from this
animal, and 1t was in hope of discover
Ing such that he made recent sjourn
IN the deserts of Arizona and Cali
fornia. The rapid increase of settlers
it this section of the country, owing to
the recent strides made by the rec
lamation projects, has made it neces-
sary for the authorities to look to their
,fa4-. i.
Since the departure of the Indians
from this part of the country these
monsters have increased in large num-
bers, as the Indians killed them off
formerly in large quantities. The HUI
alipis, tribe of Mexican Indians, are
said to have remedy for the bite of
the ella monster; but this, however, is
kept secret by the tribe and all the in
ducements SO far made have been with
out results in trying to obtain even
the smallest portion of this coveted
antidote. The president of Mexico
himself even went among the Indians
and tried to secure the secret. Unlike
most poisons of animals which are gem
orally of an acid composition, this ex-
ception is alkaline in nature. Death
&
During the professors experiment a
Mexican assistant was caught by the
thumb by one of the animals, and the
result was he died within twenty min
ttes, after first falling into a stupor.
Another case was noted of a half-Mex-
lean girl who had been bitten. She at
first was seized with paralysis. A little
later she cried that her head was split
ting. Gradually the pain, however, left
her, and a few minutes before expiring
she lapsed into Inconsistencies. Dur
ing these developments she lived about
two hours and a half after being bit
ten. Next summer Professor Wether-
bee intends going among the Hualipis
and trying to secure by fair or unfair
means the secret Of this tribe as re-

AN AMERICAN OBERAMMERGAU.
Clay M. Greene, the well known play
wright, graduate Of Santa Clara Col
lege, wishing in some way to demon
strate his affection for his alma mater,
wrote for it play entitled Nazareth, Z
the Passion Play of Santa Clara, and
it was first staged and presented in
1901 at the golden Jubilee of the college.
The play was far more than an ordinary
success. Having been presented once,
the public demanded its representation
again and again. 1t was given three
times in 1901, and it then would have
been repeated had not the physical
condition Of the actors, who were the
college students prevented. In "Naz-
arethn Mr.. Greene has touched his SUBJ
ject with a rare reverence. In no part
OF the play does Christ actually app
pear, yet his sacred presence is felt
throughout it. 1t is as. if the auditor
stands in the audience room of the
Mighty, with but shadowy veil in
tervening. The disciples are there, and
those who knew him best and loved him
most, but he is just beyond our vision.
In 1908 the demand for the play was 50
great that it again was presented, and
after the fifth representation the de-
mand was as great as ever; the weak
ness of human flesh, as represented by
the boys Of the college alone limited its
production for a much longer period.
After this second series of presentations
at which thousands Of people from all
civilized lands were present, 1t became
evident that here was world drama
that the public wished to see, and so
it was decided that Nazareth" shall be
acted in the college every two years. So
it bids fair to become an American

Stone Wagon and Street Car Collided
Yesterday Afternoon.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon a
heavy wagon used for hauling stone
and drawn by two large horses was
driven across the corner Of Church and
Crown streets with such rapidity that
the driver was unable to stop the
team and prevent their crashing into
a street car. The driver did succeed
in turning the horses to a certain ex-
tent, but in such way that the wagon
ran into the car and knocked it from
the track. The line was tied up for a
short time until one of the emergency
cars was dispatched to the scene, which
with the assistance Of shoes" put the
car onthe rails. The car was not dam
aged to any extent.

AN EPIDEMIC OF MADNESS.
Hungarian Aristocracy Driven Into
Insanity by Dissipation.

A singular epidemic of madness
seems to be making it's way among
the higher Hungarian nobility and af-
fecting some families of European
notoriety.
Count George Festetics, the eldest
son of Count Tassilo Festetics and
Lady Mary Douglas Hamilton, lately
committed suicide in lunatic asylum
by hanging himself. He was only 20
years old.
Another Hungarian magnate, Count
Szabo, of Arad. the owner of nearly
100000 acres of land, has had to be
confined as a dangerous lunatic. He
had lately incurred heavy losses at
play, and was laboring unaer the i'm
preston that he could not pay his
debts, and that his creditors were pur-
suing him night and day with red-hot
irons to brand him as a swindler.
A third noble. having large estates
in Pennsylvania, Count Estaaby, has
fallen a victim to mania, after wild
career of dissipation extending over
several years, during which he sold
every stick of furniture in his castle
and every tree on his extensive es-
tates. Now he regards himself as an

Rridoe of Fish.

The salmon are so thick in the
mouth of Mill creek just below the
government fishery racks, says a Red
ding dispatch to the San Francisco
Call. that they are seen right up to
the surface Of the water, and SO close.
~ packed together that a person look
ing upon the mass would feel that he
could cross the creek dry shod by
stepping on the backs of the fish as
they appear above the water. They
are crowded up by the mass which
extends down to the bottom of the
stream.
At the fishery the fish can be secur-
ed in greater quantities than they can
be handled and the hatchery is run
ming at its full capacity. Some days
as many as 100000 eggs are secured.
People from the southern part of the
county go to the hatchery for the fish,
which are given away after the spawn
ing operation. Many millions of young
salmon will be Matched this season,
as operations have been under way
for some time and may continue for
some time longer if the river does
not rise too high.

WEDDING RITES OF sAvAeEs.
Very Simple Ceremonies Constitute
a MARRIAGE Among Them.

Marriage among iheHi'
The marriage ceremonies of many
savages are of the simplest possible
description. In some places, indeed,
says the Leisure Hour, ceremony is
almost entirely dispensed with. There
are no wedding rites in Dahomey, "ex-
cept where the king confers the VIE,
the interference of royalty rendering
It necessary for the bride to present
her future lord with glass or rum.
Brandy drinking is the principal feat
ure of the ceremony in some Brazil
ian tribes. Amongst the Navajos, 1t is
only required of the bride and bride
groom to eat maize-pudding from the
same platter. In the Hill tribes of
North Aracan, marriage is described
as "a simple contract unaccompanied
by ceremony" and it is an equally in
formal affair in many other tribes. AT
4 Khasia wedding, 1.-The couple about
to be married merely sit together in
one seat, and receive their friends, to
whom they give a dinner or FEAST
They have a rather mixed ceremony

sisting of 'eating together, tying the
garments together, dancing together

gether by a douche of water, and the

Loango is legally married after the
bridegroom has eaten from two dishes
which she has cooked with her own
