Reptiles That Walk Erect.

Lizards of several sorts can walA
and run easily on their hind legs. The
Australian water lizard, which Is three
or four feet in length. keeps quito
erect when traversing long distances
on land. 1t is found I'm the neIghbor-
hood OF river banks and passes much
OF its time In shallow water.
The frilled lizard of Queensland also
travels on its hind legs on level ground.
keeping the frlll folded when running.
When attacked 1t expands this fold of
skin. which stands out like Il ruff at
right angles round the neck. giving Il
most formidable aspect. so that dogs
that attack and kill larger lizards will
often retreat before frilled lizard ut
bay.
There is also tree lizard In Austria
liza that moves In n similar way. All
these species walk on all tours when
merely moving about or going short
distances.

The Spirit of Liberty.

IT was I'm the town that modern de
mocracy had its rise. Despite all the
efforts Of the kings and barons to pre-
vent It. the spirit of liberty began to
assert Itself In the larger towns In the
shape of the charters which guarantee
toqthe people certain commercial and
political rights-rights which. ouce OBJ.
tanned. were never to be surrendered.
Before the middle Of the eleventh GEN.
fury there were many Cf these char.
tered" towns which possessed the
right of electing their own magis-
tates. sheriffs and judges and regulat-
Ing their own taxes. The wretched serfs
from the country were welcomed by
the townspeople and aided to larger
freedom. These free towns were first
known in Spain. from which country
they slowly spread over Europe. The
burgesses naturally offered protection
and freedom TO all who would fee TO
them from the feudal estates. and thus
slowly. but surely. the good work went
on until the ancient despotisms were
destroyed.-Arena.

Astronomers once believed that the

a center of attraction, and the star
named Alcyone, In the group Of the
Pleiades, was selected by Maedler as
marking that great center.
1t has long been known. however,
that Maedler's conclusion, which was
based on the apparent motions of the
stars, was incorrect, and If any uni
versal center exists 1t has not vet been
discovered. In fact, many Of the stars
seem to be moving in straight lines,
some in one direction and some In an.
other. and among these is our own

observations will show that all the

his pitcher what he thought of him

pitcher remarked that IL he had a
catcher who knew how to catch a
ball once every week or so he would
be able to use some speed. This seem
ed to displease the catcher, and he
remarked In no gentle tones about the
pitchers general ability and the short
sightedness of a captain who would
have such man on his nine. This
gave pleasure to the opposing nine.
and they showed 1t by appropriately
guying remarks and were taken to
task by the nine men OF the other side.

see the ball game then told both mines
