The Deoort Tortoise.

One OF the most interesting reptiles
OF California's great desert is the des-
ert tortoise. A writer in Suburban
Life says: Il have found as many as
twenty Of these hard shelled fellows
that we usually associate in our minds
with the thought Of water in the very
heart Of the desert, where the water
was exceedingly scarce. Yet when you
pick them up they generally void two
or three large spoonfuls of liquid. Dis
section shows that they each have two
large water sacks on the back, and
these afford them their water supply.
They are great travellers and can walk
faster than we should imagine. They
are also good climbers. have watch
ed one for hours climbing up and
down the rocky sides Of a desert
mountain. He could wriggle himself
up to rock almost as high as he was
long. Raising himself on his tail end,
he would use his head as a hook,
then claw with his right leg until it
had secured a good hold, then, with
what seemed to me extraordinary
strength, he would lift himself up and
wiggle his body into a secure posi-
ton"

Immediately after the production Of

Collins, received a visit from a lady
Who congratulated him upon his sue
cess with somewhat icy cheer and
then said: But, Mr.. Collins, the great
failure of your book is your villain.
Excuse me If say you really do not
know a villain. Your Count Fosco IL

The privilege of marching through
London with fixed bayonets is enjoy
Cd by but very few regiments, such
as the Royal fusileers, who trace their
origin to Cromwells trained bands,
which in later years produced so ia
nous captain as John Gipin. After
the Royal fusileers, or perhaps even
before them in point Of regimental
seniority, come the East Kent Butts, 8
now the third Of the line, who claim
similar city ancestry while the Royal
marines for some reason or other also
enjoy the same fixed bayonet rights
N the city. A battalion OF the grena-
dier guards was once impressed to
serve as marines, and hence they
share the privilege of the men who
are Soldiers and sailors too" This

The football season is

The football season Is at hand
The radical changes made In the rules
in the fall OF 1905 were thoroughly
tested last year and. as code. were
eminently satisfactory. Changes made
last year were not revolutionary IN
any sense. Naturally the first year
was not until the latter part OF the
season that the possibilities OF the code
were fully realized.
The big games showed an equaltza-
ton of offense and defense, and thus
developed football strategy, which Is
the essence OF football. making the
game between two evenly matched
teams a delight to witness.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED
in at the end OF last season as TO the
arose from the fact that In many In
stances the forward pass was being
specialized, and 40 OF SO passes were
not uncommon. The old enthusiasts
declared this was too much like bas-
ketball. but they failed TO realize that
the possibilities of defense were equal
ly as strong. and this was evidently
The alterations for 1908 are minor
and the most important modification
Is in reference TO the forward pass
The old rule made II legal for an,

the side making the pass only the play
