Another airplane crash with at.
tendant loss of six lives, at Mineola
L. l., was the outcome OF an attempt
to do the sensational and to startle
q gaping crowd. The army fiiers had
completed their stated battle ma
noeuvres, the program of the day was
over SO far as official arrangement was
concerned; yet the army men could
not resist the impulse to go aloft once
more and perform for the amusement
Of the assembled thousands and for
demonstrations in the moving picture
world later on. Scarcely had the men
begun their evolutions when the
mechanism of their vehicle went
wrong or else the pilot attempted too
hazardous a performance. The ma
chine fell like plummet and the six
occupants of the vehicle had their lives
snuffed out. Airplane operators and
the public in general may well ask
themselves whether it is wise to in
dulge in stunt performances. Straight
away flying has been called as safe as
motoring over highway, which is a
declaration open to some question;
but it is certain that the elements of
danger in straight away flying are
very much less pronounced than they
are in stunt flying.

Lizard Lives on His Tall.

Beaded lizards are seldom seen by
day. In the dry places where they
live they lie hidden until the GOODNESS
of evening brings them forth. During
the hottest part Of the year they re-
main In state Of torpor. They eat
frogs worms, centlpedes, ants and
other insects, as well as the eggs Of
frogs birds and other lizards. In good
times the extra nOurlshment Is stored
up as fat In the tail. When food is
scarce this fat can be absorbed and
carried to the hungry cells through
the blood, and thus the ella monster
may go without other food for sew
eral months. In midsummer the fe-
male lays from six to thirteen soft
shelled eggs In hole scraped out Of
the damp sand near stream, and
then covered. After being incubated
In the sun for about four weeks the
young are Matched They are four
inches long and brighter colored than

many fang-lke teeth arising from the

range OF limestone caverns near Dry
gill, on the high road between Pare

carried out his underground journey
during the night, and alone.
One notable feature Of Mr.. Longs
later discovery is the bell-like notes
OF pure musical tone given out by the
vibration Of stalactltes on being
gently struck. In one cavern the
colors of the stalactites ranged from
yellow to red, and graylsh blue, sug.
costing iron and lead impregnation,
and some were Of the purest white.
All We're translucent.
Another feature was series of
grottOes, where the walls reverberated
to the beat of the explorers heart,
producing the effect of o huge stetho-
scope.
The vertical extent OF the caverns
from the entrance to the deepest point
reached was between two hundred and
three hundred feet, and the lineal ex-
