THE FRILLED LIZARD.
It Carries an Umbrella and Has q
Fixhtinx TAIL.

It Carries m Umbrella and Has .
Fighting Tail.
The frilled lizard is found in Austria
liam woods, being tolerably abundant
in north Queensland and the Kimber-
ley district Of western Australia. It
lives on beetles such as are found on
the tree banks. It is about three feet
long, measured from head to tail point.
What makes it remarkable consists Of
two things-its hurried walk and it's
fighting anger.
1t carries a sort of natural umbrella
top about Its neck, which it elevates
suddenly with an alarming effect even
to ordinary lizard killing dogs, soaring
them as an umbrella opened in the face
Of a charging bull; hence it is called
the frilled lizard. Its teeth are not of
much use as a defense against q vigor-
GUS animal, but when it fights it uses
its long, 1.-THE tail, in, a way to bring
long bruises on ones hands-in fact,
could it be properly trained, it might
like the magic rub-a-dub-dub stick,
would at the word administer a thrash.
ing to the disobedient child.
From the scientific point of view the
creatures peculiar method Of ambula'
ton is most interesting, because It pre-.
sents ar absurdly %grotesque appear
ance at such times, more especially
from the rear. It walks bipedally or or
two feet, like a bird, and SO much does
it resemble a bird in its walk that II
seems to be the connecting link be
tween the ancestors of birds and thu
lizards Of today.

 The Cahaba river is higher than 1t has been in many years and the mag nificent corn crop on the river lands is a total loss. It will take several years for the county to recover from the damages done by the wind and water.

ENGINEER STABBED
JACK GOODWIN SEVERELY MUIR
 ED BY ED. sIcLAIN.
Machinist and Railroad Man In a Fight At the Clifton HOuse--One In
 Hospital, Other In

Jack Goodwin a locomative engineer for the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. is an inmate of the City Infirmary w.t.. {. serious, though not dangerous, wound in his back from knife thrust at the hands of Ed. McLain, n.achin- ist, who drove in the knife so deeply that it was three quarters of an hour before the blade could be removed from his victims back. McLain is held at police headquarters.
 The quarrel took place at tn Cliff ton House. on Bibb street. about q o'clock yesterday morning. The cause of the encounter has not been learned by the police.
 McLain wa sarrested several days ago, charged with disorderly conduct at the same house. He had been shooting at the door knob. so 1t was testified to at the time of his trial Tn the Recorders Court and he was Jet off with a nominal fine.
 1t is said by the police, that the trouble yesterday morning which re- suited in the stabbing of Goodwin. was a continuation of the shooting affray of a few days ago. It is said that Goodwin had, upon the former occas- ion, just disappeared in room, when McLain took a shot Tat the doorknob' of the door through which he had pass ed.
 The police have been unable to learn the details of the quarrel which pre- ceded the stabbing yesterday morning but when McLain had drawn his knife he wielded 1t to good advantage. His opponents hand, arm and shoulder were badly slashed, though none of the wounds in that portion of his body are serious. Apparently after Goodwin hmad turned. McLain drove the knife as far into the back. between two ribs as he could. z
 Dr. Gaston Greil, City Physician said after the knife had been removed from the patients back with considerable difficulty, that the blade had pene- trated tn elung, but not to such an ex- tent as to prove serious, unless the wounded man declined to remain quiet. Any exertion. he thought would be likely to produce an internal hemor- haze.
 After the stabbing, McLain left the house, and went Into Lee street. Lat CT he was sought for by number of the members of the police force, and and Nashville freight house. by Patrol
 man Miles. while he was endeavoring to board a freight train. apparently in order to leave the city.
 He is now confined at the city pris- on. lon suspicion to await the out- come of the wounds he inflicted upnn Goodwin. If the latter dies, a charge of murder will be laid against him. If he lives, a charge of assault with iTl- tent to commit murder will be made out as soon as Goodwin is able 10 e.et to the police station to swear to the complaint
