PeculIarltIes OF the AsIatIc Chameleon and
the African Gecko.

Peculiarlties OF the AsIatIc Chameleon and
the African Gecko.
Among the many families OF lizards,
and almost innumerable species, two
OF the most interesting are the chame-
leon and the gecko, of Asia and Africa.
The first OF these has long been famous
for its power of changing color; but
this has been somewhat exaggerated.
As fact, however, chameleon whose
primary hue is gray black. will some
times be striped like zebra, with light
yellow, or covered with circular vel
low spots, sometimes brilliant green,
and sometimes will take the hue of the
autumnal leaves on the branch where
it is sitting. so that the creature can
hardly be distinguished from the foli-
age.
The chameleon's tongue has Wis
cid secretion on the end, and he aims
it as a billiard-player does his cre,
darting it out at passing fly. who is
struck and stuck at the same time.
He is slow moving fellow, and in
climbing tree will sometimes after
raising one foot hold it in air a long
time, as If he had gone to sleep and
forgotten to take the intended step.
His progress is like the hour-hand OF
a watch; but eventually he gets there.
The gecko is noted for its ability to
run up perpendicular wall, which it
does by the use OF its peculiar feet in
which the toes are expanded at their
extremities into disc furnished with
claws. This apparatus enables it to
travel regardless OF the laws OF gravi-
tation, like common house-hy,
whose feet resemble the gecko's. It
is said that prisoner in high stone
tower was once released by friend
tying thread to the hind leg OF a
gecko, and starting him up the wall
under the prisoners window. The
creature glided up and carried the
thread to the captive, who by this
means pulled up a stouter line by
which he made his escape. The gecko

The washing OF the beet is very inn

freed from mold, small stones and other
kinds OF dirt attaching to them, which
not only saves the machinery employed
in the actual preparation OF the beets
from injury, but keeps the sugar ulti-
mately obtained free from impurity.
With the mere washing OF the beets the
sugar manufacturer is not content; they
are therefore freed from those parts
which are poor in saccharine, damaged
or otherwise undesirable. by machine
called a cGr0usGl.
Wher cleaned, the beets are thrown
from the wa .h-barrel into hopper,
from which they pass into an endless
elevator which carries them to the top
floor. where they are discharged into a
large hopper. They then pass into
cage which will hold one thousand
pounds Of beets, and, when this weight
is indicated, the cage empties its load
into the cutter or slicer. The cage and
the indicator enable the factory people
TO closely estimate the amount OF raw
material used each day. 1t is also a
check on every department 1t win
show any error that may arise in the
receiving or shipping departments.
The slicer is round iron shaft. rotat-
Ing horizontally, and fitted with steel
knives capable OF slicing four hundred
tons OF beets in twenty-four hours. The
rotating knives, which descend upon
the beets, cut them into thin Slices thus
exposing the sugar-cells. which Is an
important factor In the diffusion system.
The lower end of the cutter opens into
a wooden trough about two feet square.
on the bottom of which is an endless
belt. As the sliced beets fall from the
cutter, the belt carries them along to
the diffusion tanks. "A. H. Almy, in

In the House of Representatives Mr..
Mills has assa;led the constitutionality Of
the Senate tariff bill. His grounds are hat
as the House alone can originate such
measures, the substitution by the Senate of
its bill for that of the House is origination.
This is apparently an interesting point of
law. As the Constitution provides that all
revenue bills shall have their genesis in
the House, SO, also. it provides that the
Senate may propose or concur in amend
ments to such measures. The simple ques-
ton then is, is substitution of one bill for
another, amendment? We believe that it
has always been answered in the affirma-
tive and we cannot conceive how it can be
Otherwise. If there is any limitation tc
the right of legislative body to amend G
bill before Il, even to the extent of crushing
the life out of it, we are unable to find the
law, after-diligent search. On revenue, as
well as OF other bills, the concurrence Of
the Senste is necessary, and there is not
and cannot be any limit to the con-
sciences Of that body in considering hcw far
it wiilgconcur, and in what essentials il
will disagree. In determining those mat
tiers it certainly may, by amendment
amor nting to substitution, express to the
Hoase the bounds of its concurrence and
the@xtent of its non-conourrence The posi-
tior of Mr.. Mills is, that the country, the
Se2ate included, must accept what the
House proposes as a whole or reject it
Bat he gives away his 'point" when h'
admits that the Senate may amend at all
The objection therefore" amounts t.
nothing but a technicslity.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE MONTEREY
BILL.

The Governor, according to Monterey
dispatch published yesterday, is being
scored holly by the people of Monterey
because he vetoed bill to disincorporate
that city. We very much doubt if the
people of that place are mored as the dis
patch asserts, because at an election held
upon that distinct question oil disincorpor-
alton, the people by vote of 1853 to Is
negatived the proposition. The decision
was the result of what was at that time re-
ported in the press. a full debate of the
matter by the people of Monterey. Ques-
lions of economy influenced them greatly,
as we remember, because the present legis-
ilatiye and executive officers of the place
serve without salaries, while under rein
corporation salaries would be added to the
expense of the local government. But
aside from all these questions the Gov
ernor was sound in declaring the proposed
law unconstitutional. 1t was an attempt
at special legislation that is not in the cate
cory of exceptions to the constitutional in
hibition. the Constitution. in fact, does not
provide for disincorporation legislation. To
be sure that be was not in error Governor
Waterman officially asked the advice of
the Attorney General, who rendered an
opinion that the Act was unconstitutional.
After that the Governor could not do other
wise than refuse to approve the bill, for he
IL under obligation to maintain and defend
the Constitution and not to incumber the
statute books with Acts that are u;-
constitutional and valueless. The matter
is worthy this much of attention, because

THE MUD IN POLITICAL WATERS.

The Csssl Service Record has been engaged
in some interesting researches, and has dis
covered that four out of five of all the Post
masters in the unclassiied list who were in
Office when Mr.. Cleveland came 10 the
Presidency have by him been removed.
The statement is fortified by quotations
from the official records. In the -uncassi-
fled list there are nearly $1,000 of these
officials. All these are subject to Presi-
Dental will, so far as their tenure of office
is concerned. This showing is alone suffi-
cient to illustrate the immensely of the
classified list of officers of all kinds in the
Government embraces about loo, 600 names,
ard in so 900 of these there have been
changes since March 4, 1885. OF course,
many of the changes were due to re-
mosals of residences, death and resigna-
lions. and some were for incompetence
undeniable. But it still remains that
over 10000 were removed TO give
place to political partisans-in other
words, in response to the appetite of

we gain some idea of the enormous
pressure that is brought to bear upon
President, and the amount of backbone
that officer must have 10 stand up and do
what he conceives to be his duty. But,
above all, the showing illustrates the value
to the country of the principles of the civil
service reform. Were these in force to-day
as intended by the law, limited as is its
present application, the President would be
freed from one half his burden and be
given that much more of opportunity to
devote himself to weightier affairs of state.
Were these principles applied to-day
throughout the Government, the political
atmosphere would be greatly clearer. and
hundreds of thousands of citizens who
now neglect political duty because 1.-The
pool is filthy" would return to duty-doing,
and we would have correspondingly better
politics and cleaner government. For it
must be apparent to all that political waters
will be purified just in proportion as we
