Not In a spirit of braggadocio, but In the belief that a brief history of what was done In order that Herald readers might not miss their dally service of news on Monday, we give below u condensed history of what was done to overcome obstacles which were suddenly reared by Sunday morning’s fire in The Herald’s plant. The blaze, us 1ms been stated, was practlcaly contlned to the comppslng room, which contained, besides the linotype and other valuable machines', the entire outfit of newspaper and Job type of the plant. Many hundreds of pounds of type was melted, and other property, the total being appraised at a valuation of about $2,500, was de stroyed. The fire was out by 5 o'clock. By (! o'clock, those In charge of the business were making a hasty Inven tory of the damage. By 7 o’clock, insurance agents had been pulled out of bed, hustled to the scene of the fire and induced to give permission to begin removing debris, cleaning machinery, etc. By this time, also, all the employes of the office, ex cept those absent from the city, had been called to their posts, with In structions to “get busy.’' • The linotype machine was out of commission, but before it had thor oughly cooled pff two men were dis membering Us complicated mechanism and bending their energies to what seemed the hopeless task of “making It go.” They worked all day and until midnight. They were at It again early Monday morning, and by 0 o’clock the machine was grinding out matter for the paper, though the operator was forced to manipulate the keyboard for four days with all the buttons warped and twisted, and a number entirely gone. Monday afternoon a linotype inspector, summoned , by telegraph from a point in Tennessee, had over hauled the machine, appraised the ex tent of the damage and ordered dupli cate parts for those injured " by the fire. The lire had been out hardly two hours before The Herald was In com munication over the long-distance telephone with a big printers’ supply house in Atlanta, where an order was placed for several hundred pounds of new type, type cases, stands, etc. But notice was given that it meant a fine of $100 to run a dray through the streets of Atlanta on Sunday, also that the Southern Express Co. would handle no express on that day. That looked bad, but The Herald’s representative “got busy," He se cured a permit from the mayor and another from the chief of police to run a dray from the printers’ supply house to the passenger station. He also secured an order from the super intendent of the express company to handle the shipment from Atlanta to Albany on the train leaving the for mer city at 4 p. m„ and reaching its destination at 11:35 p. m. The type, caseB and other material were in-The Herald office by 7 o'clock the following morning, and hand com position, with a lift, from the crippled linotype, sent the paper out on time In the afternoon. Not a mall on the evening trains was missed. Every strip of belting in the office had been destroyed by the fire, but nil accommodating Albany house opened Its doors at noon on Sunday and filled an order for an entire new outfit. Long before noon of the same day, the interior of the composing room was being rewired by electricians, thus Insuring lights, and power to drive the motor. The latter machine had become water-soaked, and had to he taken to pieces and dried before It could he put back in commission. But this wns accomplished in time not to Interfere with the program. That Is the whole story—except loss of sleep and another lesson In perse- verence and the fruits thereof.

Ha* It Carrie* flu Umbrella and Fighting Tall, The frilled lizard Is found iu Austra lian woods, being tolerably abundant in north Queensland and the Kimber ley district of western Australia. It lives ou' beetles such as arc found ou the tree barks. It is nbou' three feet long, measured from head to tail point. What makes It remarkable consists of two tilings—its hurried walk and its fighting auger. It carries a sort of natural umbrella top about its neck, which it elevates suddenly with an a ar:.’!sig effect even' to or llnrry Id: mm! kiiliit: •' w-. searing them as eu turd ret: *, up*, red in the fiwe of a charging bull: hence It is called the filled lizard.

From the scientific point of view the creature’s peculiar method of ambula tion is moat interesting, because it pre sents' an absurdly grotesque appear ance at such times, more especially from the rear. It walks bipedally or on two feet, Hue a bird, and so much does It resemble a bird in its walk that it seems to be Jhe conuectlug link be tween the ancestors of birds and the lizards of today.
