sALAMANDERs ABOUT NEW YORK
Live In Cool Places and Eat, Not Fire,
but Chilled Grubs.

From the New York Evening Post.
In our local fauna RAYMOND l. Dltmars
has just identified and listed several snecias
of New York salamander. Once rnop a
time this order of reptiles was tabled to
i've on fire. Most of the New York varie-
ties begin life in water mature so as to
breathe atmosphere, make their homes In
moss or the cool places under stones and
eat, instead of fire, such chilly things as
peetle-grubs and small clammy earthworms,
Fables, for some undiscovered reason, usu-
ally run topsy-turvy IN natural history.
'Salamanders are cold, dismal creatures
therefore they eat burning fiames"-that
was early science.
Around New York Mr. Ditmars, who is
curator OF reptiles at the Geological Park
has found four families, twelve species and
two varieties of what Is called the JTrodela
TWO or which, one living in water and one
IN the chilly depths of the Palisades woods
he designates as nevis. These eat what
the salamanders do, and In addition the
larvae of ants, and in captivity have devel-
oped liking for raw beef Their only ex-
plotted use Is fctional-wlth adder's fork

I could hear the audience giving vent to

titled the defendant to something more
than sympathy. It demanded her COM

of the guilty party was essential. Unless

already and, according to the state
ment of the officials of the fedora
ton, the affiliation of these farmers
unions with the American Fedora
tion Of Labor is merely a question
of time. The leaders of the fedora
ton are highly enthusiastic over
