REPTILES AT HOME IN SAND
Naturalist Makes Interesting Report
of Habits of Small DWeIIers
of the Desert.

Quaint and curious are the ways of
some reptiles of the desert. as revealed
by the famous naturalist @. L. Camp,
who has been studying them in the
Colorado desert. He tells of some rep
tiles, the burrowing snake sonora, the
gridiron-tailed lizard, the ocellated
sand lizard, and the desert horned
toad" which actually swim into the
loose sand by the strong lateral move
ments of their heads. The gridiron-
tailed lizard is very swift and agile,
and when chased will race over the
sand at fifteen miles an hour. Most Of
the desert reptiles of Colorado are col
ored like their surroundings. and are
difficult to detect. Others can change
their colors to suit their surroundings,
while not a few of the desert lizards
are able to part with their tails very
readily when they are seized. There Is
humor in the ways of desert tortoises.
When one meets another, unless both
are males, when a fight invariably
takes place, each mods its head rapidly
up and down as though in SALVATION,
and sometimes noses are touched as
they pass.

which lay beneath the boys feet, and
was opened at a particularly lurid
scene, which the police think the boy
was trying to re-enact.
The title of the book was 1.-THE
Young Wild West Holding the Hill {;
or the Fight for the Cave Of Gold" In
the picture, which had evidently
struck the boys fancy, boy dressed
in a scouts costume was being low
cred into an open grave by band of
cowboys. The boy in the picture was
trussed up with ropes and was being
buried alive.
Beneath the picture was printed:
8" Let him go, boys ! shouted the leader
of the band. IF the end of the plank
sticks out a little, it will mark the
spot where the champion death shot
was buried alive. Down with him I :"
The accepted theory Of the cause of
the hanging is that young Shubert was
thrilled by the picture and by similar
scenes he had read about or seen in
the movies, and was trying to stage
'make-believe" hanging. 1t is thought
that after Hanging himself he in
tended to take the rope off his neck
and tie it around his arms and legs
IN the same way "the champion death
shot" was tied in the picture, and then
imagine himself being buried alive. II
he had carried out his plan, the grave
of the picture would probably have
been represented by the bathtub over
which the boy hanged himself.

HARD TO SAVE In BOLIVIA
South American Salaries Are Higher,
But Also Living Cost, Writes
Youth.

Santa Fe, N. M.-Saving money is
much harder task in South America
than in the United States, despite the
higher salaries paid there. says Eu-
gene Lujan of Santa Fee, who recently
resigned his position as clerk of the
American legation at La Paz, Bolivia.
In a letter to his father young Luz
ian points out that, though one can
earn more in South America than in
North America, the cost of living is
higher. Shoes which sell for Sc in the
United States cost $12 in Bolivia.
Beard and room amount to $50
month, laundry at least $12, and ev-
erything else in proportion.
"Although Spanish is the official lam
guage," Lujan writes, ''there are many
dialects, for the population is consid-
erably mixed. We have Ayamaras,
who are pure Indians; the ChOlos, or
ha!f-breeds; the Bolivians, the Eng
fish, the French and the Germans"

HAS BIG GUNS

drawing had been started. On April
70, 1913, a completed gun was rolled
on its own wheels to Sandy Hook prov
Ing grounds for long-range tests.
The guns, Secretary Daniels said,
originally were intended for the new
battle cruisers, but change In design
Of the vessels made the guns avail
able for land service.
The guns were mounted on car
riages which could be moved freely
over the French railroads. With them
went their naval crews. Twelve cars
were required for each gun-machine
shop cars, armored ammunition cars,
kitchen, berthfng, crane and wireless
cars. The batteries were sufficiently
mobile that IL an order came to move
while in action, they could be on their
way In an hour.
Greatest Range Of Mobile Guns.
The 14-inchers had greater range
than any gun ever before placed on
mobile mOuntings. The German guns

They were built on permanent steel
and concrete foundations. Their pro-
jectile was small and specially built
for long flight. This reduced their eff
fciency and while they had moral eff
feet, their military value was small.
Because Of their permanent position
their location was discovered by allied
aviators and the guns silenced.
The German 15-inch gun In F1an-
ders also became famous for its long
range bombardment Of Dunkirk and
other allied bases, but neither could
be shifted from base to base without
delay Of weeks. The American Il
inch gun could move from one end
OF France to another and had a range
of 80 miles. At range Of $4,000 yards

Three Others Are Condemned to
Death by Default in French
Court

Paris.-Sentences were delivered in
the case known as the "Laon inform
ers" after a trial Of more than sixty
days.
Of the twenty-eight persons accused,
eight were condemned to death, two of
them being women; three others were
condemned to death by default. Six
were acquitted and the remainder re-
ceived sentences Of from one to twenty
years imprisonment.
The charge against the accused was

authorities during the occupation of
LaOn. In many cases the hiding
places of French soldiers, who had es-
capped the German advance. were point
ed out, with the result that a large
number of soldiers were executed.
