the disinfectant into q monster yes terday and il did not die for three hours.
 While carrying on his work. Close has discovered the untruth of many popuiar traditions concerning Gila monsters. Che 0f these is that they have no digestive organs in the true sense of the word, but that everything they eat decays inside their bodies. He has found that they have com plete. If somewhat primitive, set ot digestive organs
 lie has also found that there is no skin over the monsters skull. At the neck the skin gradually merges into the skull itself, which is horny ana hard as a rock, but of the same gen eral color as the cIeature's body.
 The monster which he stuffed yes terday was the biggest he had ever seen. measuring 20 3 inches from the tip of his tail to the tip of his nose. He has heard Of larger reptiles Of the kind. but this is longer than any thing he has ever run across Gila monsters are usually anywhere from twelve to eighteen inches ill length.

CANNOT CHLOROFORM \ G|LA MONSTER
Phoenix Undertaken Has Been Experimenting On Them
 For a Year.

That Giia monster cannot be drowned or chlorofnrmed and that il takes two to three hours for one to die after it's systemTffas been injected full Of forhaldehyde has been discov- cred by Raymond Close of the Phoe- nix undertaking firm Of NGore S Nc Clellan, who has been experimenting with tie reptiles for the past year.
 Close has been stuffng Gila mon sters, lizards and Horned toads for R L. Bake ana others who desire them for souvenirs. He has found that his hardest work ;s not 60 clean them and stun them full of excelsior, but to kill them preparatory to this process. .
 When he received his first live Gila monster, with instructions to trans form it into a mummy he decided that the only way to kill it without break ing the skin and otherwise initiating the big hazard was to drown 1T. Ac- cordingiy. he tied the monster in the bottom Of bucket and poured water over him. At the end of ten hours he was taken out, still alive and in fighting condition. Close does not class the Gila monster with the fish or the frog, but evidently 1t Is cap able of entering into a state of sus- pended animation when and where it FIeases. IL is very siGsgish by nature and il is noticed that even when it's breathing is unimpeded it draws ar into it's lungs only al intervals of sev- eral seconds. Appa1 ently it can go without air for an unlimited period of time.
 Efforts to chlorofoTm Gila monsters Mr. Close handled have proved equal ly unsuccessful. They breathe the fumes of the deadly drug, seemingly without the slightest effect. He has made several reptiles glOriously drunk by injecting aseohOl into their blood. but aside from making them wobble about when they crawl, the treatment does not bother them in the least.
 After numerous experiments he found formaldehyde to be the most effective poison for these peculiar rep tiles. Because their blood rus so slow ly, or for some other reason, even th1s does not kill them SO quickly as one would expect He injected several ounces of 40 per cent solution oi

times became extremely bitter His
attitude in the Venezuelan affair won
him general praise as did also his
promptness and firmness in suppress
sing the disorders growing out of the
great railroad strike that centered in
Chicago. But he had lost caste with
his own party and the panic that
swept the country during his admin
istration made him unpopular with the
people at large. Hence there was no
talk of his denomination in 1896.

the bill was rushed through during the
closing hours, with all of the bad fea-
lures restored and all of the good onos
eliminated.
THE plank demanding permanent
change in the currency system Is gem
eral enough to permit the Republican
orators to advocate in each section of
the country the system most popular
there, and sufficiently indefinite to en-
able congress to do whatever 1t pleases
or nothing, without violating any
pledge.
Calls Trust Plank Weak.
THE trust plank must prove a dis
appointment to every Republican WHO
has come to understand the iniquity
of the trusts, There is no demand for
a rigid enforcement Of the law; there
is no suggestion that the criminal
clause which has not yet brought the
trusts malefactor within the walls Of a
penitentiary should be called into use.
IF the president, with all Of hts
streruosity has not been able to en-
force the criminal law against a single
trust, what progress with sue han an
ti-trust plank as that inserted in tho
Republican platform?
There is a plank in the platoon ia
favor Of such legislation and supervi-
sion as will prevent the future over
issue of stocks and bonds by intcr.
state carriers This is good, but 1t is
coupled with the advocacy of pool
ing arrangement which makes large
concession to railroads without exact
Ing any security to the public.
