THE ELUSIVE CHUcKwALLA.
A Dainty Morsel for Desert Indians
How It Is Taken.

The chuckwalla is an interesting and
elusive denizen of southern California
great desert, where he has admirers who
covet him with mouth watering ardor
According to George Wharton James
the chuckwalla is as alluring to desert
Indians as a yellow-legged chicken to a
circuit riding Methodist parson. The
chuckwallas method of escape is to
crawl into a crevice SO narrow that it
seems impossible to get him out But
the Indian is too clever for him.
He takes piece of strong wire or a
bent twig and poking it into the crevice
he taps the chuckwalla on the end of the
nose In a moment the angered reptile
exhales a kind of hiss, the noise being
made by a rapid expulsion of the
breath. AS he thus exhales he loses his
hold on the rocks and in moment the
Indian pulls on his tail.
As speedily as a flash OF lightning the
ehuekwalla inhales again and tightens
himself in his recess. Another tap on
his nose and then exhalation; another
pull, another exhalalation-so it goes I'M
til at last the Indian has him in hand.
Then he cooks him.

LOSS FROM FIRE LARGE.
STATE MARSHAL PURTELL MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT.
Damage Done During Year Amounted to
$3,605, 470-Defective Chimneys
Dangerous.

gregating $1,000, 40 to property during
1905 A total of 1921 fires, great and
small, was reported to State Fire Mar
shall It. M. Purtell during this period OF
this number, sixty nine different causes
are assigned, defective chimneys being
the most prevalent cause, 1874 fires
springing from this source alone. Light
ming caused 112, parlor matches 43,
gasoline stoves 81, lamp explosions Al,
and children playing with matches 81.
These figures are taken from the an
nual report of the state fire marshal,
which is now being compiled. 1t is un-
derstood that the state fire marshal has
a number Of important recommendations
to make to the governor as a result of
investigations made into the causes of
fires during the past year. The law
creating the department has been in
force about eighteen months, and insur-
that not only have number fires been
prevented but the blame has been fixed
in a number Of cases.
A number Of convictions were made
under the law, the last being that of
Miss Winnie Podawiltz Of Grand Rapids,
Wis, who pleaded guilty on December
/ to having set her sisters barn afre.
She was sentenced to states prison for
one year. When this fire occurred it was
believed by the city authorities that no
one was to blame, but after several days
investigation by the fire marshafs de-
partment it was learned that the sister
who owed the barn had had a quarrel
with her younger sister. The latter was
traced to Milwaukee where she made
complete confession.
The report will also show that a mum.

the earthquake in Calabria was predict
