IS QUEEREST OF ANIMALS
•hameleon’a Capabilities in Line of
Changing Color, Contrary to Pop
ular Belief, Are Limited.
It is popularly supposed that the
I chameleon jiusaeaeen the power of as
suming all the colors of the rain
bow, hut, as a matter of fact, its
capabilities in that line are restrict
ed, inasmuch as certain colors are
| quite beyond its attainment.
The chameleon can, however, pass
through a series of yellows, grays,
greens and browns until it reaches a
, color almost black; and, unlike the
.leopard, the chameleon can and does
| {change its spots. The chief causes
mf these rapid changes are auger, ex
citement, /car, heal and cold.
! In the full hi axe of the summer
,sun the chameleon takes on a black
ish hue. with pale, pinkish-yellow
spits and a central stripe.
The chameleon presents, perhaps,
the quaintest physical features in all
I anim-ildom, for he resembles nothing
j so much as one of the mediaeval
i gargoyles, such as adorn the to*er
if N'otre Dame. II is toes, in their
arrangement of three on one side
;and two of the other of each hand
and foot, are most guggesiivy of a
birds as is also the manner in pinch
they grasp the bough upon w hich the
j little fellow is resting or climbing.
■The expression of sardonic humor
that seems to play about the mouth
;of the chameleon is curiously height
ened bv the weird effects of the in
| jdependently moving eyes.
GENIUS NEAR TO INSANITY
Many Maladies Called Degeneracy
Just Too Much af Highly De
veloped Nerves.
Where my eugenic friend goe*
, wrong is in failing to realize that a
great many of the maladies which
he calls degeneracy are just too muck
of the highly developsd nervous sys
tem which is the special endowment
of the gifted families.
Overcharge the battery ever sc
little and geniim bxnnes insanityj
give one member of the family s
volt too much and the delicate bal
ance of phyisc-al and mental qual
| ities on which sanity depends it'
-broken down. Extinguish the fam
ily and you will rid the world ol(
tome degenerate, hut you will alsc!
and at the same time rob it of ill
imost gifted men.
. My eugenist would never have lelj
iCowper, l.amb, Coleridge, Steven
[son, Keats, Ruskin, Henley or IN'
Quinocy sec the light.
! The doctrine of heredity should
'never be forgotten by parents oj
'remembered by children. To tin
first it is the assertion of their re
sponsibility: to the second a ny
mbinder of their helplesancaa.—-J. A
! Spender in the Westminster G*.

ROOM CAREFULLY 8EALED.
• An eerie tradition is recalled b]
the (hath a few (lays ago of “Squire*
Thomas Green of the Old Hall, l’oul1

.whose family have been in poiaemioi
I of the estate since a period prior ti
»the Norman conquest. There is it
jPceiRon Old Hall a niysterioui
I lotted room which has never beet
opened except by a representative oj
the Green family. The hall and iti
lands have sometimes been let, but
the Green family have always re
tained possession of this mvsterioui
• room, which is supposed to eontaii
[several relics and other family trea*
arcs. The last trnant would havi
jgiven an increased rent for it if hi
could have had access to this root*
or could have cleared away the mr*
terious contents, but the owners re

"There they are now." said the
