Creatures Joined The chameleon s not allied closely to any other animal It stands as a genus by Itself The nervous centers in one lateral half operate Independ ently of those In the other This seems outrageous and It Is but It Is true The chameleon has two lateral centers of perception of sensation and of motion There exists also a third center that common one In which abides the power of concentration by means of which the two sides of the creature may be forced to work in harmony with each other But this center of concentration does not al ways dominate the situation Not withstanding the strictly symmetrical structure of the animals two halves the eyes move quite Independently and they convey distinct and separate Impressions to their respective centers of perception As of the eyes so of the other members each reports to and is controlled by its own center The result is that when the faculty of concentration becomes disturbed everything is jumbled Let the chame leon be much agitated and its move ments grow erratic They are those of two creatures fastened together or rather of two half creatures joined Each half exhibits its intention of go ing Its separate way The result Is a pitiable confusion of movement There is uo concordance of action A curi ous example of the chameleons help lessness when unduly excited is found in the fact that it cannot swim The shock of being plunged into water up sets the poise of its faculty for concen tration Forthwith each side strikes out wildly for itself to its own undo ing The chameleon is the only four legged vertebrate that caunot swim When the creature is calm every im pulse to motion is referred to the com mon center of concentration and the entire organism acts In fitting accord with the commands issued by that fac ulty Thus while totally different im pressions from the two ej es are trans mitted from their centers to the com mon one that concentrating power de cides as to which scene is the more important and then directs the eye otherwise engaged also to regard it The same principle applies in the con trol of all the members so long as the animal remains unexcited Any ob server may easily verify the existence of this dual nature in a superficial way by some experiments with a sleeping chameleon A touch on one side of the animal will wake that side up while the other side sleeps calmly on FLINT AND TINDER Making Fire In the Days Before We Had Matches A friend of mine of just my age used to laugh about his own boyhood and tell the story of his mother shaking him in bed and bidding him put on his boots when he dressed and his over coat and wade through the snow to the next neighbors to get a pan of hot coals with which to make the lire I suppose Joes mother had lost her flint We kept our Hint and what was called the steel in a round tin box such as would hold a quart of straw berries now and it was on the man telpiece in the kitchen It was half full of tinder Half the boys and girls of today do not know what tlnder is or was Now whoever was in the kitchen in the morning and found that the last hot coal of the wood fire had gone out took down the tinder box and struck the steel with the flint smartly and of ten until a redhot spark fell on the tinder then very carefully she blew with her breath on any flakes of the tinder which had lighted until she had quite a little cove of lighted tinder Then she took what we called a brim stone match and put that very care fully in the little hot hole If all things worked well the brimstone lighted and the wood of the match lighted and she lighted the candle which made a part of the tinder box Oh dear There were thousands of tinder boxes in little Boston the day I was born and a few years ago I tried to buy one as a curiosity and I could not find one in any of the juukshops In those days old women would stop at the door and ask you to buy some bundles of matches They had made tliie themselves of pine wood four inches long which they had dipped in hot brimstone at both ends And those were the only matches that anybody ever heard of Womans Home Com panion Always Dreaded the 14th Most dismal of all men off the stage was Grimaldi the clown and his father fathered him He had that curious dread of a certain date which assails so many The elder Grimaldi hated the 14th of the mouth and when it was passed he regarded himself as safe until the next He was born christened and married on the 14th of the month and being discontented with all three events we will hope his death on March 14 17SS satisfied liim London

to Penetrate That Mys tery Will Be In a Position to Revo lutionize This Planet of Ours This Is not an Aesop fable although It has a moral There are two thngs in whose pres ence science stands wondering and abashed the little glowworm or the yet tinier firefly and the mighty cornel arching the sky with its glimmering train Each of them holds the same secret how to make light without heat The man who gets that secret will revolutionize the planet The late president of the Royal As tronomical Society of Great Britain referred to the value of the comets secret In ids retiring address He thought that we do not suflicicntly ap preciate the wondrous spectacle of a comets tall It shows us hundreds of billions of cubic miles of space simul taueously glowing with luminosity whose origin is a mystery It is a gigantic experiment In a branch of physics of which we as yet know very little The comet is hu merscd In what we may well regard as a vacuum at least it is a far more perfect vacuum than we can produce Yet the persistent glow of the comets tail shows that there is no real vacuum there but a vast quantity of extreme ly attenuated matter which no doubt is the cause of the luminosity We ought Professor Newall thinks to awake to the importance of this hint Who knows he says wheth er it we could discover a inetnou oi disrupting gases and vapors in ultra vacuous spaces artificially maintained on earth we should not have a meth od of artificial illumination as econom ical as that of the glowworm and as brilliant as is needed for our nocturnal life This thing may really be within our reach although at the present time we cannot even suggest to ourselves exactly how it is to be attained But the tendency of recent investigation is in that direction As Sir John said of another discovery which was just at the door We can feel it trembling along the farreaching line of our analysis There are not a few men who are regarded by their harder headed scien tific bretliren as dreamers who pic ture to themselves a fast coming time when we shall not only obtain light at as cheap a rate as the firefly lias it but when we shall have tapped the ex haustless stores of energy that sleep all around us in nature We are like one in a dream sus pended In the midst of a vast work shop crowded with multitudinous ma chines all whirling and fluttering In a storm of energies but which he can neither control nor understand If we could see these tilings they might terrify us as the dreamer is terrified by the whirring belts and spinning wheels of his vision seeming to grasp at his life If the scientific investigator needs to establish a raison detre in the eyes of the public which cannot follow either his processes or his results he has only to point to the fact that the greatest practical discoveries of mod ern times have come out of the labora tories from things as incomprehensible to the unitiated as so much magic It is a well known fact that the growing might of Germany springs from her devotion to pure research Referring again to the pregnant hint of the comet Professor Xewall is clearly right in saying Here is a theme that should stir up the most commercial mind in the support of as tronoray Garrett P Serviss In Now York American On the Cars cf Pic York The surf ice cars of New York on it on each line as different a uatiouaiit as if each

only true democrat Stowe - WILD ELEPHANTS A Herdc Successful Raid on a Granary In Ceylon Some soldiers stationed at an out post In Ceylon says a Colombo paper to protect a granary containing a lrrge quantity of rice were sent off a few miles to quiet some unruly villagers only two of the party remaining be hind No sooner had the soldiers de parted than a herd of wild elephants which had long been wandering about the neighborhood appeared In front of the granary Its walls were of solid brickwork very thick and the only opening Into the building was in the center of the roof which was readied by a ladder On the approach of the elephants the two men clambered up Into a lofty banyan tree to escape in Jury Screened by the thick foliage though unseen by the elephants they easily saw all that went on below The sagacious animals began opera tions at the corners of the building Two powerful elephants after putting fortli every effort but In vain to make an impression on the building were forced to retire exhausted A third came forward and applying his tusks as levers he at length succeeded In dislodging a single brick An opening once made others of the herd ad vanced and soon an entrance was ob tained sufficiently large to admit them As the whole company could not be accommodated at once they divided into small groups of three or four After satisfying themselves they re tired and gave place to otiiers until the whole herd upward of twenty had made a full meal By this time a shrill sound was heard from one of the ele phants and those still in tJie granary rushed out and joined their compan ions One of the first divisions after leaving the building had acted as sen tinel while the others were taking their turn ne had perceived the troops returning from the village and gave the signal for retreat when the whole herd flourishing their trunks moved rapidly Into the jungle The soldiers found the animals had devoured the greater part of the rice A ball from a fieldpiece was discharged at them In their retreat but they only wagged their tails as if in mockery and were soon hidden in the recesses of their native forests DAYS OF THE WEEK At One Time They Were Designated Merely by Numbers Formerly the days of the week were numbered one two three four five and six beginning with the Sabbath Even now the custom still prevail among certain modern Greeks the Slavs and the Finns Many old fash ioned and orthodox Quakers particu larly in the north of England still hold to this custom which was the common one in the days of the apostles and down to the fourth century as well as usual among the Jews and the Arabs The orthodox Quakers use the nuincr ical system in preference to the ordi nary on the ground that the gods aim goddesses from whom the names were taken were not of the highest respecta bility in point of morals The week was originally only a con venient quarter of the lunar month hence It began on Monday or moon day The Italians still call Mondav the first and Sunday the seventh day of the week Tuesday is derived from the Norse Tiw who corresponded to Mars the god of war a most disreputa ble person in the eyes of Quakers Thursday was Thors day Thor beina a god warrior who was morally no bet ter than he ought to be Wednesday again was Wodens day Woden beini the gcd of battle rage The Romans called this da3 Mercurys Friday was supposed to be the luckiest day of the week for women It was called after the Norse Frija the goddess of love and is the best day for weddings For the pagan Romans it was also the day of Venus though the Christian Roman called it the day of ill luck becausp Christ had been crucified on that day Saturday was called after Saturn and Sunday was known to the Christian as resurrection or sun day The week of seven days was import ed from Alexandria into Greece and into Italy about the time of Christ The Greeks had previously divided their month into sets of ten days the Romans into sets of eight days three and a half sets being equal to one month New York World An Authors Initials Initials are sometimes tho resort of the writer who is anxious to conceal his identity and a glance through any one of the 700
