OFFSPRINGOF GIANT
PREHISTORIC BEAST
NOW ZOO RESIDENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 1o.-The only IIv-

prehistoric monster that roamed the

the Australian monitor lizard, also
called Gould's monitor. after the SCI
enlist who discovered It in that land
Of strange reptiles. birds and stranE-
er animals
The monitor is the largest Of the
lizard family. When full grown It is
six feet long. It has a formidable
set Of teeth; long, curved taIons like
an eagles and sharp as a needle, with
which il seizes and rends it's prey.
II also has a long and powerful tail,
which IT uses as q whip, slGshinE
nercely to right and left to defend
itself with when attacked.
Lives In Water or Trees.
According to R. L. Ditmsrs, director
Of reptiles at the Bronx Zoo, the
monitor is equally at home on the
land, in the water or in the tree tops.
II runs with great swiftness, is a
fast swimmer, and as a tree climber
has few supsriors in the animal world.
This formidable reptile is carnivor.
Gus and also cannibGlistic when other
food is scarce. Its food consists
chiefly of rats and other small ami
mails, birds, and various reptiles
smaller and weaker than itself.
1T is gray in color, with white
markings, and the back is covered
with dark spots. The specimen in
the Bronz Zoo is about four feet long.
II is on exhibition in the reptile
house, and is under the direct charge
of "BilI" Snyder, who will be delight
ed TO show It to visiters and describe
Its habits to those seeking knowledge ,,
Of this descendant Of the Dinosaur,
which, Mr.. Ditmars says, scientists
declare II to be.

The mentor inhabits swampy re-
gions in Australia, but Is also found |
on dry land and in trees, where It |
goes in search Of birds and bird eggs, |
OF which It 10 said to be very fond.
The Bronx specimen was captured
by Ellis S. Joseph, who arrived at |
Victoria, B. c, a month ago, with
what is said to be the largest colIec-
.tion of rare species OF mammals,
birds, and reptiles ever brought to-
gsthsr in captivity. A large part OF
that collection was purchased by the
New York Biological Society, and is
now on Exhibition at the Bronx ZOO /
The monitor, in view Of lite ancestry,
IS, Of course, one of the most inter /
esting Of the recent Acquisitions.

FROM OUR READERS.
Editor American Jewish World,
\ City.
In replication to that Individual
who so explicitly describes himself
as a Menorah member and who con-
fesses that with a clear conscience
he can consistently say
THAT if the Menorah can accom-
plish its purpose best on a Friday
night---postpone the services, do
away with the unpeopled institutions,
we don't want prayers alone, we
want devotion to our national cause"
l will state that these further ut
terances by me are not in defense
of what I had occasion to previous
ly say, but in justification of what
did say.
The -Menorah has. persistently
and consistently given it's opening
receptions on Friday nights. It's
sponsor in taking exception to what
l have said goes off on tangent
indulging in statements of glitter
ing generalities without touching
on the issue. This worthy indi-
vidual says, "Do away with unpeo-
pied institutions. Is it not logi-
cal to then conclude that by the is
suance of such an edict he puts an
injunction on Friday night serv-
ices and contributes to the delin-
quency in the attendance But why
question it? Does it not mean
greater devotion to our national
cause to which this individual is
so devotedly committed? Pray
what is this national cause which is
referred to but not specified?
It is further pleaded that it is
not prayer alone that we want
but again it is devotion to our ma
tional cause! Nothing is so potent
for good as devotion. Voltaire,
who scoffed at all religion recog-
nized the good influence of church
es. The prayers that we utter and
hear, the traditional feasts and
fasts of our people lead us up to
the consideration of duties we
would otherwise ignore. It is not
that the chanting of a hymn or ut
tering of a formal prayer will of
themselves make us good but the
music, the prayer, the festival, the
feast cause us to think of higher
and better things and thus elevate
our natures.
What is this national cause that
this Menorah member is committed
to-, Is he yet unaware that it is
contra to the policy of the Menorah
