The GILA MONSAER
Is MUCH MALIGNEO

Probably there is no other living
creature more feared by the
ignorant than the ella monster.
about which all manner of weird
tales have been told. 1t has even
been held that the mere breath. of
this animal is sufficient to cause
death to the one upon whom it
falls. Scientific inquiry, however,
fails to disclose a single instance
wherein the breath or even the
bite of this creature has resulted
fatally. Fhe fact .tnat dissection
and microscopic examination do
not reveal any trace of glands for
the secretion of venom is suf6 cient
evidence to indicate that this
curious member Of the lizard
family has been slandered. u.
Some years ago civil engineer
inathe southw est undertook 10 settle
onca for all the Question whether
the "monster"wss fdeadIy9or not.
A fine specimen was captured and
confined in a wire Enclosure. "A
chicken was obtained and its
feathers removed in order that
tile lizard might have every oppor-
tunity to strike at the breast.
The chicken was then held quite
close to the ella monster. which
soon snapped viciously and secured
firm hold on the fowls breast
retaining this grip for more than
ten minutes. When the victim was
released it was found that the
chickens breast bone had Ibeen
broken. Nevertheless the fowl
quickly recovered, the bone knit
ting and the wound healing with
no symptoms of poisoning.
1t is very probable that the
reputation for evil borne by the
ella monster is due solely to its
most repulsive appearance

FAMOUS SLEEPING
CASE RECALLED

Rip Van Wrinkles long nap has
had several ,counterparts in real
life. the most notable being the
long distance sleeping record
established by. Caroline OLSON, a
Swedish woman, who fell in atrance
thirty seven years ago and did not
wake up until 1907. SINCE "get
ting her sleep out" Miss OLSON
is reported to be a, healthy, normal
woman, who is quite satisfied with
seven or eight hours of slumber
nightly. ms
Caroline OLSON was born on the
island of Okuo, off the Swedish
coast, in 1861, and was girl of
fourteen when she commence her
lengthy nap. TOn the day before
Christmas in. 1875 she returned
from school slightly i'll. complain
ing of tonthache and general in
opposition land went to bed. AL
though the following morning
ushered in the great holiday of the
year Caroline slept on, and all
efforts t. awaken her were futile.
Soon the parents became alarm
ed and the local physicians were
called in but they were unable to
do anything for the stricken girl.
As child she had always enjoy
ed excellent health and physical
examinations developed nothing on
which to base a diagnosis. Al
first: the, medical mel suspected
Caroline Of taking" but this
theory had to be- abandoned when
it was found tGa: needles stuck
far into the flesh had no. effect vn
the sleeper. AS year after year
passed, the case attracted the atten-
ton of emin: mt physicians all over
Europe, but their treatments were
as futile as had been those of the
local practitioners. .
The years went on; and the girl
become a woman slept on. She
was. kept alive by the administra-
tion of two glasses of milk daily.
+ Three or four times during the
thirty years she was aroused
sufficiently to arise from her bed
and take a step or two, after which
she fell back unconscious and con
tihuedIas before, lying in a crouch
ing position with the bedclothes
drawn over her head.
When the girls mother died the
sleeper was able to grasp the fact
and wept violently for q time. In
1906 a gradual Improvement in
her condition began. Woman-like
her first efforts were toward car
ing for her hair and manicuring
her nails. Then she began to take
food in solid quantities.
One day in 1907 she suddenly
recovered complete consciousness,
and within a few months was quite
we'll and hearty, An examination
by DR.. Froderstren, of the famous
Saltpetriere asylum in PaIus failed
to reveal. any indication Of mental
defect or physical weakness.
She was able to recall every detail
Of her youth but manifested a
