SALAMANDER SUPERSTITION.
How the Reptile May Have Got lts
Freproof Reputation.

TOW the Reptile May Have Got tts
Fireproof Reputation.
There is very ancient belief that
the reptile known as the salamander
Is proof against fire. 1t is not known
how this superstition bad its rise. but
it will probably always continue to be
held by some people, although it has
been conclusively shown that the fire
proof qualities OF the creature exist
only In Imagination
Dr. Stejneger. reptilian expert at the
Smithsonian institution. tells a story
which may furnish a reason for the
continuance of the belief in question.
Once | was camping cut" be says.
with party Of friends, hunting and
fishing. We had lighted big fire.
using for fuel several old logs. While
we were seated around watching the
progress of some cookery in which we
were engaged young lady at my
side gave a little scream and pointed
into the flames looked. and there
was a small salamander crawling
right out from among the glowing
embers. Il walked away unhurt and
made its escape.
Now. that salamander had occu-
pied hole in one of the logs used
for fuel. Several species Of its kind
live in old tree trunks Doubtless this
one found that it was getting uncom-
fortably hot and crawIed out Being
moist and Shiny. It's body was protect
ed from injury by fire long enough to
enable it to escape through the EN-
bers. But the sight of the lizard de
hherately making its appearance from
the midst of the fire was certainly
very surprising Any ignorant person
might easily have been led TO imagine
that the creature was 6reproot. II
seemed to me quite probable that the
superstition took its origin from Just
such occurrences. - New York World.

Casualties Of the Cradle.

The burden OF Prussia's military
state. not spared even TO the babes in
their cradles. has proved too much for
some Of the younger members of the
royal families. In 1.-THE House of
Hohenzollern" Mr. Brayley Hodgetts
mentions that the two sons whom the
first crown princess Of Prussia bore
her husband Eat the beginning of the
eighteenth century, both died in their
cradles. one from a nervous shock
caused by the salute from heavy guns
with which his arrival was heraIded
and the other from the burden OF
golden crown which was placed on his
head after baptism.
