r>_ | ARIZONA'S UGLY REPTILE. HABITS OF TEE FIERCE AND UNCAM NT OILA MONSTER. ft* Blt? l? Dtngeroui, and Men Have J~Med Front Wounds Inflicted by ^ r - H? Becoming Scarce. ^ 1 ^HE Oila monster is a reptile I concerning which maeh has | been said and lots of littlo stories have been written, but | it^bnbits, nevertheless, are not well jg,' known, even where it is most frequently found. It whs no uneommon sight in former years to see Mexican and Indian boys trailing the hideous things at the ends of strings along the streets of towns and settlements iu Arizona, taking care always to keep thoir bare feot out of the way of the uncannylooking lizard. Sometimes, too, Gila monsters, strapped to a board liko planked shad, would be offered for sale at prices ranging from a modio (5 J > cents) to a toston (fifty conts), with few or no buyers. In the event that nobody wanted to increase his menagerie with one of the wicked loolting beasts, it was generally stoned to death toy its owners as a protest against its general usefulness. Several years ago Gila monsters bocamo somewhat in demand for Eastern collectors, and stuffed or in the flesh they command bettor prices now, largo specimens, presumably wanted for zoological gardens, being paid for at good figures. Strangely enough, since the interest in tho reptile has grown it has become somowlmt scarce. Whatever may have been said about tho looks of the Gila monster, it is a repulsive, crawling, uncanny reptile, perhaps not so ugly as many another lizard?the iguana, for instance?but instinctively abhorred because it is so *-^slow. Flight boinga matter of impossility with tho Gila monster, and as it lacks the cunning to feign death, it must necessarily assume u bold front when threatened with capture or injury, and that it knows how to do in n maimer which will make even those totally ignorant of tho danger they run careful of too close an approach. The length of the monsters usually captured varies from one foot to two feet and a few inches, but specimens a foot and a half in length are those most generally brought iu. Of this the big conical tail forms one-third. I Tho weight will averrgo from three to five pounds. Tho head is ;noro lanceshaped than that of any other lizard found iu Arizona, the consequence being that the narrow neck is very pronounced and imparts to tho head while it moves something very much like tho rattlesnake's performance. When attacked tho Gila monster retreats about half its length and crouches close to the ground, but roaring head and neck in a fierce manner, while a black, forked tongue, over an inch in length, darts swiftly out of a mouth alio w???lo ? ?.!

If euoapo bo near in tho shape of a lmrrow in tho ground or a hole in the rocks large enough for its accomodation, tho monster will discreetly retire from view and rcmaiu hidden until tho enemy has retired. If the reptile manages to get a grip with its horny mouth, as hard and cutting as that of a snappiug turtle and tilled with sharp, needle-liko teeth, upon the yielding flesh of au aggressor, tho vice-like jaws can only bt pried apart by great muscular acting with some instrument. The won tub show ail the indications of blood poisoning by means of vouom, th( limbs swell, failure of tho uorvou* Kyatozn becomes apparent, and dentl tucme unless prompt inedioal M WvatOt brings relief. Vun story the bit* of *Sv? u l%anR?bl* iz kbA Iw-. help must be obtained quickly, as several well-authenticated eases have proved. Curiously enough, iu tho ease of men who have been bitten, it was found that those who wore strictly temperato recovered far more quickly than thoso who were in tho habit of taking stimulants. It turned out also that, unlike many oases in which bites 1 ii u??i ucuu iiiiiicieti i>y venomous snakes of tho North American species, wliiwky (lid not act as an antidote at all, rather aggravating tho symptoms. E. L. Wetmorc, a taxidermist of Tucson, who has dissected many of these lizards, says lie has been unable to discover, where tho vonom which they undoubtedly inject into the wounds they produeo coiues from. In poisonous snakes it exudes from sacs above the fangs, but in tho Gila monster tho closest investigation has failed to show any such glands connected with tho tooth. Undoubtedly it is the saliva of tho monster, lubricating its sharp incisors, that produces the chemical change in the blood. For that reason it is beliovcd that in tho salivary glunds the venom will be found, but that is the extent of what is known of tho Gila monster's dangerous power. .By reason of its slowness the monster's diet is necessarily limited. It is a climber, and as such has no difficulty in robbing nests in which thero aro eggs or helpless young. It will also investigate the warrens of chipmunks and cottontail rabbits and eat the puppies. It does not interfere with other lizards; at least it shows a complete l indifference for horned toads and for a sluggish black fellow, about six inches long, which it would liavo no difllculty in catching. When kept in a cage the Oils monster is always fed on hen's eggs, the shells of which it crocks, after which it very neatly disposes of their con' tents. Lost year W. h. Vail a prominent cattle raiser of this territory, ospiod a Gila monster sunning itself iu the road ! while ho was riding to Pantana on -eback. Ho throw stonos at it, and - it was killed, when in reality, stunned, ho tied it bo- ! o carry along as a id of h?s journey 'eel for hia ^ h^d re- ' ife -- , and hold on liko grim doAth. Its head had to bo torn to pieces before tlio member could be released. Mr. Vail wa? hurried by n special train to 'Puscon, and had a narrow esoapc. As it was, ho was laid up for a long time and uftered from the ofleets of the poison for over throe months. Thoro is fonnd on tho edgo of "Death Valley in California a lizard somewhat similar to the Gila monster, although more agile. It is strictly a vegetarian. This fellow is called tho chuokawalla by tho Coaliuila Indians, who are said to Ik* very fond of his flesh. Tho meat of this cousin of the dreaded monster is very white, tastes like chicken, and Americaua who have eaten it are not reported to have turned up their noses at it. But I doubt very much if a Mexican of tho cholo class or anybody olse hero could bo induced to try u dish in which Gila monster was the piece da resistance. As for Apaches, it is well known that they lrato fish and reptiles of all kinds and never eat them even if starving to death.?San Francisco Chronicle. A Muscular Magistrate. Jndgo Coleman, of Butte, may not be a very large man, says tho Butte (Montana) Bystander, but when it comes to upholding tho supremo powei of the law he looks as large as an elephant. At least so thinks Mr. Roski, a Hungarian who is reported to have killed ft niftn or two boforo eomiDg to America, and, nftor spending eleven years in the pennl institution of Hungary, left his uativo country for lale country's good. Mr. Roski's aesthetic taste not being suited by the cooking of the partner, Mr. Vago, he attempted to kill him. A warrant was sworn out, but the ofll* cer failed to find Mr. Re.ski. Vago informed Judge Coleman that Reski was gambling in the Combination. No ollicer being present at the time the judgo concluded to mako the arrest himself. Vago went out with hiiu and pointed out the man wanted and then skipped out. The judgo called Reski outsido and told him he had a warrant for his arrest, fn response the Hungarian pulled out a pistol, but before he could use it he received a 4 'habeas corpus" under the car, waa disarmed and marched up to eourt in double-quick time. As they were -going up the stairs which led to the court Reski pulled another pistol, a forty-four Colt's saying, "Mo kill you now," attempted to shoot, but again the judge was too quick for him, and, knocking him down, took tho second gun away from him, and besides giving him a good thumping, read him a lecture on the evils of attempting to obstruct tho eonrso of justice, after which he was escorted to the courtroom, his case set for trial and then marched down to the city jail. Upon being searched a belt of cartridges and an ciglit-inch dirk were taken from him, in addition to the two pistols secured by the judgo. If any State in tho Union has a nervier lawgiver than Judgo Coleman we would like to hear from it. The judge can be found in his ollice ut all houre of the day or night. Appendicitis. I xiiih is not a new disease, but it is n comparatively new discovery. Our j fathers know nothing of it. That there was an "appendix," or litttlo blind pocket, attached to the human entrails, lias been known Hinco anatomy lias boon studied, but it is probable that deaths from the drifting into this pocket of undigested substances were, until lately, attributed simply to "iullammation of the bowels." But it is well recognized and admitted, now, that very many deaths do occur from the lodging of seeds and similar substances in thispeouliar little recess, and an operation to extirpate it by cutting it olT entirely is tlio only remedy as yet known. The operation is generally successful, but is dangerous and sometimes has fatal results, as in several cases which havo latoly boon brought to the public notice. A learned physician, of rather radical views, queried, tho other day, in a conversation with medical associates, wliothor It would not become necessary, some time in the future, to operate upon all new-born babies, and cut out the appendix from their bowels during infancy, to save them future danger and trouble. But he was, surely, rather ahead of his ago, and his friends suggested that he was becoming a surgical "crank." But it is certain that a great many people are more caroful than they neod to bo in swallowing tho seeds and pits of fruits. Some go so far as to take tho seeds out of grapes, lemons, eto., boforo eating. Thus does scionco, always peering into tho secrets of nature, perpetually warn us of now dangors that threaten life.?Now York Nowa. The Dangerous Ni.tmeg.

Soveru1 novel features of oonstruotion will appear in the new building of the Manhattan Life Insurance Com- 1 pany, in coarse of ereotion in lowep Broadway, New York. The great atruoturo will have a steel skeleton frame, and will tower aloft to an elevation of 800 feet above the curb-line. The supporting piers of tho building are to be sunk to bed rook by what iff known as the pnoumatio process. Tho reason for the employment of this plan is that the soil is a fine sand for U depth of about fifty feet overlying tho rook. It would be a great risk to build so heavy a structuro on the sand, and to excavate to such a depth would ver f likely result in undormining neighbor* ing buildings, especially as the soil id very wet. The dilfioulty is to be overcome by sinking pneumatic steel caissons, fifteen in number, by tho samo means that aro ofteu employed in laying the foundations for bridge^ and whfqh was need in conneotion with both towers of the Brooklyn Bridge* When the caissons reaoh bed rook the workmen inside level tho rook so as' to give a firm bearing, and then fill iq with conorote so that tho space from the top to the bottom of the caissons is solidly filled, and upon these piers in turn will be placed huge cantalevera from which will be built up tho skeleton steel struoture of the building. ?> Builder and Trader.
