LIZARDS SCARE sTEvED0REs
Ugly Reptiles Send Men Flying, bu
Norwegian Workers Do Not
Fear Them.

New York.-Battle-ax lizards routee
an army of stevedores from the deck
OF the British steamer Parisiana- They
had hardly begun taking out the bales
and cases from the open hatch when
one of the men caught sight Of a
battle-ax and thought he had seen the
devil in person, for 1t must be under
stood that a battle-ax lizard is about
the ugliest reptile on earth. His yells
drew the attention of the other work
men, and one look was enough for all
Of them.
The stevedores carried the Officers
OF their feet In their mad rush for dry
land and nothing could induce them to
return to work. Some Norwegians
were found who were not afraid OF
battle-axes or anything else and the
work of unloading the ship proceeded
The lizards were brought on board
at Calcutta by dealer who wanted to
consign them to New York, but no
body wanted to assume the care Of
them. The bamboo cage in which he
carried them came apart and they es
capped into the hold.

COST OF OCEAN aREYHouHDs.

VIII Bring About New Tendency
I'm Trans-Atlsntic Service.
One Of the most striking features In
connection with the North Atlantic
shipping trade during the last ten or
twelve years has been the great In
crease in the cost Of fast steamships,
says the London Times. In 1899 the
Augusta Victoria cost about 100000.
The Deutschland Of the Hamburg
American Company cost e550,000 and
the Kaiserin Augusta Victoria nearly
100000. The Mauritania and Lusi-
tania cannot haye cost much less than
e1,400.o00 each. and the two new
giant vessels which are being built
for the White Star Line service be-
tween Southampton and New York
will probably cost nearly as much.
It is somewhat curious In connection
with this point that the Hamburg
American company should be able to
obtain consistently better results than
the Norddeutscher Lloyd. and perhaps
one explanation Of this IL to be found
in the fact that the deet Of the Ham
burg-American company consists main
" OF the intermediate type. whereas
the feet OF the North German Lloyd.
like that Of the Cunard company. con-
tains q high percentage Of vessels Of
the express type. The theory used
to be held that the larger the steamer
the greater the profit. but there APP
pears to be q limitation to the appli-
cation Of this theory In the case OF
the large fast vessels which have been
recently introduced. It II not incon-
ceivable that the general tendency Of
the trade will In future lie in the d.
rection Of improving the accomoda-
ton offered the steerage passengers,
who, after all. are the backbone Of the
business.

HOUND HEEDs CALL OF WILD
Dog Raised In Captivity Now Leads

Portland. Ore.-A greyhound raised
by Martin Smith Of Sandy has an.
swered the call of the wild and has
become the leader Of the widest band
Of coyotes that community has known
for many years.
The hound never returns to the VII
lage except to steal chickens or other
forage, and residents believe that its
knowledge Of surroundings has made
the varmints 1t leads much more ef-
fective thieves. Several persons have
seen the hound this fall and its espe-
cial companion is large coyote. The
hound pays no heed to the calls that
formerly summoned It from chasing
xame OF any kind. E The dog was
known In the village from puppy.

BULL ON A RAMPA
..xEs wEARER or HossLE
SKIRT HUNT TALL TIMBER.
Animal chases Autoists and losses
Up Girl With Freak GoWn-Falr
Femlnlnes Climb Trees and
Jump Fences.

Pottstown. PA pretty girl auto
mobilist in big mushroom hat and
hobble skirt had a lively experience
with an infuriated bull over in Chester
county in the vicinity Of Buck. She
was one OF gay party Of six. evenly
divided as to sex. who had come up
from Philadelphia In large touring
car. and acting on the suggestion OF
one of the men, that stretching
would do them all good, they got out.
The three girls, charmed by the
rugged beauty Of the landscape and
anxious to get some wild flowers grow
ing on a slope of the Chestnut hills,
yentured forth. Their course lay over
field in which some sleek cows and
an innocentlooking bull were brows-
ing.
The girl wearing the mushroom hat
with its gay Partisan trimming lin
gered some distance behind her com-
panions, and the bull saw her and
got busy in twinkling. With whisk
of his stubby tail and a snort and
loud believing. he charged.
One of the girls In the lead quickly
hurdled fence, while the other
sprinted to tree and clambered up.
But she who had excited the Ire Of
the bull seemed doomed. She moved
as fast as she could with the handi-
cap Of her hobble skirt, and realizing
that her mushroom hat had put the
bull into action she adopted the
strategic movement Of casting it aside.
It worked, and her enemy stopped
long enough in his pursuit to make it
look as If it had been in . cyclone.
Then he charged again, and the girls
safety hinged on the question whether
she or the bull reached the fence
first. She made 1t twenty feet ahead
of the beast; but that hobble skirt
was dead weight to her free move
ment.
AS she reached the third rail the
bull came up. and wicked jab Of his
horns sent her to the other side. Only
few bruises and some rent garments
resulted.
For goodness sake, don't tell him
who we are!" exclaimed the three
girls in chorus when q passerby got
inquisitive; and even the license tag
was taken OF the auto to destroy any
clew to their identity.
