A JUNCLE ADVENTURE. -- Quaint Customs of the Tree Lizards in British Guiana. Seldom is a chance encounter in the jungle as delightful as this one that Mr. William Beebe describes in Jungle Peace. The quaint little adventure happened an a trail in British Guiana,. along which Mr. Beebe was dander- ing, tired from a long day of work ht the laboratory. For several weeks, says the author; the jolly little trail lizards had been carrying on most enthusiastic court- ships, marked by much bowing and posing, and a terrific amount of scrambling about. The previous day —that of the first rains—numbers of lizards appeared, and at the same time the brown tree lizards initiated their season of love -making. I had often watched them battle, with one another --combats wholly futile as far as any damage was concerned. But the van- quished invariably gave up to his con- queror the last thing he had swallow- ed, the victor receiving it in a glut- tonous rather than a gracious sprit, but allowing the captive to escape. I surprised one of these dark -brawn chaps in the trail and seized him `Veli up toward the head, to preserve his tail intact. Scarcely had I lifted l:lis from the ground when lie turned his head, considered zee calmly 'with his bright little eyes, and solemnly spat out a still living ant, in my direction. The look he then gave me was exce d- ingly embarrassing. Who was L to be bound in chivalry by th ac- credited customs of his race! With dignity and with certainty of acceptance he had surrendered; calm- ly and without doubt he had proffered his little substitute for a sword. It was, I felt, infinitely preferable to any guttural and cowardly ICanlerad! Feel- ing somewhat shame -faced, I accepted the n eally struggling ant, gently lowered the small sauritut to the ground and opened my .fingers. Ito went as he had surrendered, with steadiness and without terror. front the summit of a fallen log he turned and watched me walk slowly out of sight, and I at least felt batter for the encounter. .- The Hosts of April.
