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

the Green family. The hall and iti
lands have sometimes been let but
the Green family have always re-
