BRAVE MOTHER STORIC H«r Nsst Ablaz*, She Will Stay by and Perish With Her Young. So strong is the mother love devel oped In tbe stork and the lark that it «mounts to a heroic passion. Tbe stork, which spends the winter In Egypt nnd the summer in northern and western Euro|>e, likes to build Its nest on the top of some steep gable roof. Such a uest Is often a real nuisance to man. It is from three to flve yards In diameter. It swarms with lizards, frogs, toads and other disagreeable creatures It becomes In course of time so heavy that it will break tbe roof if not arti ficially propped up. Nevertheless for various supersti tious reusons tbe stork Is not only wel come but even courted by tbe Euro pean peasants, and It cannot be denied that the res|>eet with which tbe bird is regarded is to some extent deserved. If tbe house takes fire and tbe young storks happen to be of an age at which they cannot be saved by being taken away from the nest the stork mother does not abandon them. Standing erect in the nest, flapping her wings to waft away the smoke and the flames and crying out now and then, she re mains with her young, perishing with them. Tbe skylark, which builds its nest In the meadows, runs away from It when frightened She proceeds for four or five yards under tbe clover and rises |H*rpendie;ilarly In tbe air, pouring forth her song In Its wildest strains In order to divert tbe Intruder’s attention. But tbe peasant boy knows that so long as she remains hanging at the same point In the air he Is still four or flve yurds from the-nest, and he uses the direc tion of her movements and the ring of her song to ascertain tbe exact spot If it chances that the young larks are Just about t<> break through tbe shell of the eggs, at which time the mother instinct is nt its height, it is said that at the very moment when the nest Is touched the little bird will actia 11.v nt. tuck the Intruder —Harper’s Weekly.

Tlie fact that dissection and microscopic examination do not reveal auy trace of glands for tbe secretion of venom Is sufficient evidence to Indicate that this curious member of tbe lizard family has beeu slandered. Some years ago a civil engineer in the southwest undertook to settle once for all tbe question whether “tbe mon ster" was deadly or not A tine speci men was captured and confined In a wire iuetosure. A chicken was obtain ed, and Its feathers were removed in order that tbe lizard might have every >ip|iortunlty to strike at tbe breast The chicken was then held quite close to the Gila monster, which soon snap )s*d viciousl and secured a firm bold on tlie fowl's breast, retaining this grip for more than ten minutes When tbe victim was released It was found that the i lilekeu's breastbone bad been bro ken Nevertheless tbe fowl quickly recovered, tbe bone knitting and tbe wound healing with no symptoms of poisoning It is very probable that tbe reputa tion for evil borne by tbe Gila mon ster Is due simply and solely to Its most repulsive apiiearauce —Harper’s Weekly.
