THE GILA MONSTER.
Rspulsive In Looks. Il 10 Really
Harmless Creature.

Harmless Creature.
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 II
fell. Scientific inquiry. however falls
to disclose a single instance wherein
the breath or even the bite OF this
creature has resulted fatally. The
fact that dissection and microscopic
examination do not reveal any trace OF
glands for the secretion Of venom Is
sufficient evidence to indicate that this
curious member Of the lizard family
has been slandered.
Some years ago a civil engineer IN
the southwest undertook to settle once
for all the question whether 1.-The mon
ster" was deadly or not. A fine speci-
men was captured and confined in
wire Enclosure. A chicken was OBTAIN
ed, and its feathers were removed IN
order that the lizard might have every
opportunity to strike ut the breast.
The chicken was then held quite close
to the ella monster, which soon snap
ped viciously and secured firm hold
on the fowls breast, retaining this grip
for more than ten minutes. When the
victim was released 1t was found that
the chickens breastbone had been bro
ken. Nevertheless the fowl quickly
recovered, the bone knitting and the
wound healing with no symptoms OF
poisoning.
1t is very probable that the reputa-
ton for evil borne by the ella mon
ster is due simply and solely to its
most repulsive appearance.-Harper
Weekly.

What constitutes state?
Not high raised battlement or

Thick wall or moated gate;
Not cities fair, with spires ana

No: men-high minded men
With powers as far above duii
brutes endued
In forest. brake or den.
AS beasts excel cold rocks ana
brambles rude:
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights ana
knowing dare maintain;
Prevent the long aimed blow
And crush the tyrant while
they rend the chain.
