THE FAMOUS BASILISK.

According to the ancient wHters the
basilisk-sometimes called cockatrice-
was a monster to be greatly dreaded.
Its breath filed the air with a. deadly
POISON and burned up vegetation. and
tie glance of it's eye, they say. was
fatal to both man and beast. The only
creature that could face it and live
they said, was the cock. and travellers
were advised to take lo1d-crowing cocks
with them as a protection against the
monster. So much for superstition. AS
a matter of fact, the basilisk is harm
less lizard. living a quiet life in the
woods. and feeding on insects Its ap-
pearance, however. is formidable. and
il is this, perhaps, that gave IL a bad
name. It grows 10 a length of from
twenty-five TO thirty inches, including
its tail. which IS much longer than its
body. Rising from its head and inclining
backward is a broad wing-like expan-
sion. which gives IT some resemblance to
the flying lizard. The crest Of this eX-
pansion is formed somewhat like a
crown, and that gave the basilisk it's
name. which is from the Greek word
meaning. king. "-EXchange
