Naworth castle, the ancient baronial
sent of the lords of Gilsland. the home
of the Howards, earls of Carlisle, is
fo be let furnished for a term of years.
The castle stands in a park* of 500
acres to the south of the River
Irtliing. near Brampton. The original
character of this feudal stronghold,
first mentioned in the reign of Rich
ard II, remains unspoiled, though It
has been modernised as a place of
residence. Armor, pictures, tapestry
and antique furniture of great value
adorn the banqueting hall and other
rooms. Shooting over ten thousand
acres and trout fishing are among the
sporting attractions of Naworth. Ves
tiges of the great Roman wall are
still visible in the district, and an oc
cupier of antiquarian tastes could find
matter for interesting speculations as
to the origin of other features of the
countryside near Brampton, including
what are supposed to be the traces of
a Danish encampment.
Douglas castle, Lanarkshire, is also
to be let for a long term furnished,
with 40,000 acres of moorland.

EAST INDIAN WATER MONITOR
Reptile, Harm less In Its e lf, Is Used by
the Singhalese to Brew Most
D eadly Poison.
^
The water monitor is one of the
standbys of the citizens of India, Cey
lon and tlie Malay peninsula and Dutch
East Indies, although It is a reptile
of no beneficent appearance, with Its
long forked tongue, extending from
a sheath like unto a snake’s. It is one
of the largest of existing lizards, reach
ing a length of seven feet, although its
nearest relative, the gigantic Austral
ian monitor, grows from 12 to 80 feet
long. The monitor lays 20 or more
white, soft-shelled eggs in hollow trees,
and in Burmah these bring a much
higher price than lien’s eggs, accord
ing to the Scientific American.
It is a swift runner, able to over
take the speediest mammals, frogs, tur
tles and snakes, on which It feeds. It
climbs trees for squirrels, birds and
their eggs. At other times it may he

the eggs of the crocodile, of which it
is most fond. If surprised when up a
tree, it drops into the water, swimming

The natives term the monitor ” Kn-

and non-polsonous, it Is used to pro
duce deadly poisons. The Singhalese
ore experts In brewing a deadly poi
son termed “ Kabnratel.” They extract
poisons from venomous snakes, adding
arsenic and other drugs, boiling the
combination in human skulls. % And
here the monitor comes in as a part
of their superstition. They tie three
monitors on three sides facing the fin*
Then they torment the monitors with
whips and make them hiss to cause the
fire to blaze up. .You and I would take
a bellows for this purpose, but the na
tives believe that the hiss of the moni
tors adds to the poisonous quality
