THE ODD LITTLE GEcKo.
Queer Animal That Lives In Africa
and Southern Europe,

ana southern Europe.
The gecko is an odd little creature.
His name is seldom heard, and his
form is seldom seen, for he lives in
Africa and the southern countries of
Europe.
This little gecko has so many strange
ways and there is something so IN
canny in his appearance that the peo-
pie of the countries where he lives are
rather afraid of him, believing his bite
to be poisonous, although this is de-
MED by naturnlists.
He is little creature, with a broad,
fat head, like n snake, and long
body, with narrow tail, with odd
shaped bits of skin arranged like seal
Tops along the sides of it. He has
short legs and queer, catlike claws,
which enable him to easily climb the
old walls and rocks upon which he
lives. catching the insects of various
sorts which make his dinner.
He is Il ntscturnal animal, walking
abroad at night and sleeping in the
daytime. He moves with sudden
rushes and without any noise what
ever. His odd name was given him
from the queer noise he makes. which
is something like the noise you would
make to start Il horse with The male
gecko is of gray color, so near the
shade of the old walls and rocks
among which he makes his home that
he can barely be seen.

Curious Astronomical, ejaculation.

A European astronomer has recently
made some remarkable calculations
He figures that if all the living repre-
sentatiyes OF the human race were
strung out in space and separated from
each other by intervals of a mile the
line would only reach third of the
distance to the planet Neptune. If sep.
arated by distances as great as that be
tween London and Constantinople the
line would only reach halfway to the
nearest star.

THAT SENATE OF OURS.

Senator Bailey's reason for deemln9 himself unsuited to leadership of his party in the senate is at least sdsges- tive. T have not acquired, he says, the art of being agreeable under all circumstances, and 1 will never place myself in a position where failure to do so is certain to result in con stant personal annoyance and might result in serious embarrassment to my party" The senate has special social atmosphere where courtesy IS followed far beyond the line of moral soundness, and, if no other good re. suits from the advent of MT. La Eel ,ette. it is to be hoped he will at least do something to destfoy the prl- yate-club-like harmony of intercourse. Elsewhere, certainly, in American rolitics, tact of the grosser sort de. scribed by Senator Bailey has ceased to be necessity. Who has it now Not Cleveland, Bryan, Folk, Roose- welt, or La FOllette. Nol e'eu aA'' and certainly not Roosevelt. Not Deneen, Jerome, or Douglas; not any of the men who have led the move. ments of these recent years. The breed of universally agreeing and conceding gentlemen, in America at large, is almost extinct. It can not exist much longer in the senate When courtesy means human synlpa thy, when tact is another word for kindness, these qualities adorn our life; but when they are a cloak for unjust concession and moral indiffer ence, they are but weapons in the gen eral arsenal of selfiishness and hypoc riSV
