A California Lizards Queer Trick.

There are some curious cases among
the gcckos. said II Los Angeles country
naturalist. Here is one dead that is
called the lcaf-tail gccllo. You sec the
tail bulges ont soon after leaving the
body and assumes leaf or arrow shape;
hence the name Of the animal. Now,
wncn the little creature is chased you
will see it dodge around limb and
hold up the curious lcaf-likc tail. That
is all YOU can see, and so naturally,
would think it II part of the tree itself
But the lizard has q more remarkable
method of escape yet. We will imagine
that you have tried to pluck the leaf
The animal drops clumsily to the ground
and darts away among the rocks, where
it attracts the attention of some of the
hawks that arc forever prowling around.
Immediately q chase ensucs; the bird
gains, and is finally about to pounce
upon it's prey, when all at once two liz
ards appear, one making off, while the
other dances up and down into the air
and along the ground in mysterious
way, so that the astonishcd bird stops
and looks. In the meantime the origi-
nal lizard escapes; the other, that is
really the tail, soon becomes quicscent.
You see the gccko has the faculty of
throwing off its tail when hard pressed,
and, while the pursucr's attention is
drawn to the squirming member, tho
animal itself escapes
"But j, loses its tail?' suggested the
reporter.
"Only for time. They can repro.
duce this organ, and curiously enough,
sometimes two tails are produced in
stead of ono. " San Francisco CdN.

An Electrical En- nginccr.

There are two roads TO take if YOU
WiS'i to become an electrical engineer.
Although this occupation OF electrical
engineering is so ncw, there arc three
colleges in our country where the thco-
rctical part of the profession is taught,
namely: The stevens Institute of Tech
noiogy, ut llobokcn, New Jersey; the
University Of Pennsylvania; and the
Massachusetts, Institute are the best
known. If young man has gone
through the theoretical and partially
practical training to he had in either of
these institutions, he does not require II
great deal of actual experience in doing
tho work itself to fit him for undcrtak-
ing almost any task pertaining to the
calling.
But some boys may not be able TO
spare the time or pay the money for this
collegiate part of the training. In that
case, thoy cndcavor to lind employment
in one OF the factories of the great COM
panicS | have mentioned. To obtain
admission, however, thcy must be bright,
they must give good promise in the
taste they have for mechanical pursuits,
rs well rs in their habits, that they are
suited for the profession they seek to en-
ter Having obtained an entrance,
they begin rs ordinary employees. do
ing the simplest kind of work or even
drudgcryi then they are transferred
from one department to another, learn
ing a little at each stop they take; until,
finally, they have II good knowledge Of
the manufacturing branch of the pro-
fcssion.
From there they should go to the la
boratory, where they obtain the scicn-
tilic knowledge of the business TO
know how the different parts are put to-
gcther is not of itself sufficient; they
must be able to tell why they are put to-
gcther in that particular way; it is just
that knowledge which makes them cleo
trical engineers.
Then they are sent out rs assistants
to the various clcctric-lighting stations
or are temporarily placed in charge of
plants which have just been established.
and which some amateur engineer is
learning how to run. Finally they may
be put III charge of u lighting station, -
that is, building from which the light
ing power is furnished for the lamps in
the immediate ncighborhood; and last
ly, they may become members of the
engineering corps, and put up the cleo
trio lights for some people in the man
ner i have described. -frOm "Rcudy

People Who Wear Tights.

"Onc of the principal articles we
sell, said stage costumcr to report.
er for the New York Mail and ErDrcss.
''is tights. They are not only used on
tho stage, but in almost every show i'm
the country. The demand for them now
is large
'Do they wear out casily?n
That depends entirely on the kind
OF show the wcarer is acting in. Circus
riders wear the most. It's the rosin on
the horses back that does that. Then
the wcarer pcrSpiring makes it necessary
to have them washed every time they
are used. a bareback circus rider will
wear out one or two pair II week They

circus people costs Sc. They are plain

arc innumcrablc varieties in material,
in styles, in colors and still more in fits.

These are made in all colors. flesh,

tights and silk tights"

"4ou don't suppose these people have
the goods made to fit their true forms,
do you? Not more than one-ffth of
them have their tight-ftting clothes
made without padding. How would n

audience if her costume were not made
to give her q soft, rounded appearance
We make padded skirts, padded hips,
padded arms, padded insteps, padded
thighs, padded legs, and, in fact, padded
everything. The pads are made of fine
lambs wool. When large ballet is
being organized we have to go into this
padding business very extensively.
Some of the prettiest girls will be slight

who make specially of this, and in

July and Harrison in April. Two Vice
Presidents have been indicted for trca-

John G. Calhoun, resigned his Office.
and seven men have held both Prcsi-
dental and Vice Presidential chairs.
John Adams, Washington's Vice Prcsi-

Jefferson, Adams Vice President, did
likewise, and Martin Van Buren,, one
of Jackson's Vice Presidents, was his
successor. The other four became Pres

Poorc, Daniel Webster, when visiting
the old hall of the House of Representa-
tives, had his attention called to the re-
markablc echo which repeated audibly
everything that was said from certain
places on the floor. He was told that
this had the good effect of preventing
certain members, whose seats were in
those parts of the House, from speaking,
and one was mentioned especially who
would otherwise have grumbled over
every appropriation. MIR. Webster wrote

The Pacific Coast people do not

the recent appointments made for that
region. Special opposition will DO

allegations that Lawton is the owner

purposes, and from which much
larger rental is received than if the

The Senate Committee on Claims, in
its report adverse to private claim

Southern Claims Commission on the
ground of insufficient proof of loyalty
OF the claimant, says that there are
nearly $500 of these rejected claims,
involving an amount of more than
$50, 100000. The committee do not
deem it just or wise to open the door
to this flood of claims, where no sub
