The chameleon has for. ages been An
object q curiosity, not only on account
OF its ability ID change its color at will,
as one might suppose who had read &c
counts which mentioned only that one
characteristic, but also on account OF q
remarkable power which admits of the
creature instantly changing its form
at times IL takes upon Itself almost the
exact form OF a mouse; again, with

exact counterpart Of miniature
erouching lion, which DO doubt gave
origin TO its name, Chameleon. which
clearly means ground lion" By in

belly it takes upon itself the form of an
ovate leaf, the tale acting as the petit

IL also has the extraordinary power TO
sway itself over so as TO present an edge
To the observer. thus greatly adding to
its means of concealmcnt. As 10 well
known, the least excitement In hand

green. When excited the groundwork
remains the same. but transverse stripes
about thirty in number appear on the
body. These stripes. which are Of q
very dark green to begin with, soon
change to inlzy blackness- The prevail
ing idea that the chameleon takes upon
himself the peculiar hues of whatever
he is placed upon is as curious and wide
spread as it is erroneous. Placed in
boxes lined with red or blue silk, they
retain their pea-green color with no
leaning toward the brighter hues of the
surroundings.

A new KIND OF liteDOat has Bsen con-
btructed to the order Of the Boulogne
Humane society on a model designed bv
one Of its members The construction
OF the new boat is simple and econom-
zeal, and could be adapted to any sea-
gong rowing boat The invention con-
slsts IN the Introduction of air tight con-
per chambers. broad at the gunwale
and diminishing at the bilge, placed on
The outside OF the boat. where thew are
equally distributed, so as not to interfere
with the sweep Of the oars. The tons of
the chambers shelve down outward
forming a smooth gunwale. ten inches
broad amidships and tapering away fore
and aft
lnese compartments are protected
from injury by casing forming double
OulWarks' lnasmuch as the shape of the
hull preserves perfectly its boatlike ap-
pearances 1t means really little
more beam and consequently more sta
mhty The proposed new feature does
not at all affect the speed of the vessel
In addition TO these compartments cham
bers can be fitted fore and aft. 1t has
been usual to place the air or cork lined
chambers inside lifeboats. especially on
board of ships lifeboats.
The outward application of these air
;ases gives greater solidity to the boats
'lde In the event Of being STAYED in, and |
viii tend to prevent accidents such as |
happen through people bringing their
weight to bear on one side Of boat when
'uIllng person out Of the water. A
'oat ttted as described has been tested
With the combined weight Of SIX persons
assembled on one side.
All this weight failed to overturn the
'oat, the water tight compartments
'rought into contact with the water
esulting only in giving the boat a par
ial list and SO far proving its resisting
over and buoyancy. The new boat Is
~ feet long, is built of elm and cost
