A Fulton street dealer in birds and ami
mails does quite trade in chameleons
These quaint little creatures are affected
as pets by people both in and out of the
400. The cost Of a chameleon is from two
to five dollars, according to the season of
the year. They are brought from Mexico,
and the location from which they are
taken is kept a strict secret. The cha
meleon apparently feeds on air, as they are
known to exist for months without taking
food or water. The tame ones, however,
will eagerly take fly or small insect from
the hand OF their owners
Those people who affect chameleons as
pets keep the little creatures in a box, the
bottom OF which is divided into differently
colored squares. When the chameleon
moves from one portion OF the box TO the
other he changes his color in conformity
with the squares on which he is resting

warrior decorating his cap with one feather
for every Turk he killed. No one was al

a Turk in fair fight, and the greater the
number Of feathers the greater the proves.
