A SUMMERS DAY.

| Black bees on the clover heads drowsily
clinging.
Where tall, feathered grasses and butter
cups sway;
And all through the fields white sprinkle
of daisies
Open-eyed at the setting of day.
Oh, the heaps of sweet roses, sweet CHINA
mon roses,
In great crimson thickets that cover the
wall,
And fiocks of bright butterflies giddy to see
them,
And a sunny blue sky over all.
Trailing boughs of the elms dropping over
the hedges,
Where spiders their glimmering laces
have spun;
And breezes that bend the light tops of til
willows
And down through the meadow grass
Silver-brown little birds sitting close in the
branches,
And yellow wings flashing from hillock to
tree
And wheeling swallows that dip to the
marshes
And bobolinks crazy with glee
So crazy, they soar through the glow of the
sunset
And warble their merriest notes as they
fly,
Nor heed how the moths hover low in the
hcllows,
And the dew gathers soft in the sky.
Then round beaming moon Ger the bios
somed hill coming.
Making paler the fields and the shadows
more deep:
And through the wide meadows a MUIR
murous humming
OF Insects too happy to sleep.
Enchanted ] sit on the bank by the willow
And trill the last snatch of a rollickng
tune,
Aud since all this lovelness cannot be
Heaven,
know in my heart il is June.

Some curious color phenomena have
been observed by John Aitkin when air
is suddenly expanded, and have led to
the construction Of new instrument
called the "koniscope, for roughly de-
termining the amount OF impurities in
the mir. The instrument consists simply
of an air pump and tube twenty inches
long, provided with glass ends. The
air to be tested is drawn into the tube,
where II is moisttned aud expanded. II
comparatively few dust PARTICLES are
present, say so, 900 cubic ceutimeter, the
color is very faint, but blue of inereas-
ing depth occurs as the PARTICLES increase
in number, becoming very dark blue
with 1000, 900 per cubic centimeter.

The tree selected by the Tulare Board
OF Trade for exhibition at the World 5
Fair stands on the land of Mrs. NJ. G. X.
Shuey, one.half mile southeast of
Summerhome, on the summit between
North and Middle Tule, about thirty five
miles northeast Of Perterville. The tree
was selected at the request OF the
National Worlds Fair Association. Mrs
Shuey donates the tree as gift. IL is
said to be a magnificent specimen of
sequoia gigantea, some 800 feet in
height. At the base il is 7Gl feet in
circumference, aud eleven feet from tho
ground il is G3 feet IN circumference.
This gives base diameter OF "a. feet.

A Most Wonderful Creature.

The chameleon has for ages been an OBJ
ject of curiosity, not only on account of
It's ability to change its color at will, as
one might suppose who had read ac-
counts which mentioned only that one
characteristic, but also ON account of a
remarkable power which admits of the
creature instantly changing its form. At
times it takes upon itself almost the ex-
act form of mouse; again, with back
curved and tail erect, it is the exact
counterpart of miniature crouching
lion, which no doubt gave origin to its
name, chameleon, which clearly means
"ground lion" BY inhating its sides
and flattening back aud belly it takes
upon itself the form of an ovate leaf,
the tail acting as the petiole, the white
line over the stomach becoming the mid
rib. When thus expanded it also has
the extraordinary power to sway itself
over so as to present an edge to the Oh.
server, thus greatly adding to its means
of concealment. As is well known, the
least excitement, as in handling, will
cause change in the color. In its nor.
NAL state it is of light pea green.
When excited the groundwork remains
the same, but transverse stripes about
thirty in number appear on the body.
These stripes, which are of very dark
green to begin with, soon change to iuky
blackness. The prevailing idea that the
chameleon takes upon himself the pc.
culiar hues of whatever he is placed upon
Is rs curious and widespread ns ii is err
roneous. 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. st Louis

NJ Elwood !" primly demanded Mrs
W Perkins, the governess, as she
manciured her nails at the marble wash
basin.
"No. Come here, Perky" said the
audacious girl, "and I'll show you the
corner of that picturesque old black
smiths shop told you of.the cne I'm
going to sketch this afternoon.
ats past eight, Miss Elvood, and you
know your grandfather attaches great
Importance to punctuality," began the
governess-
"Right there, over the top of those

continued Elma, extending her slim
forefnger in due northerly direction
along the valley of the river, "you can
Just see the odd little three -cornered ga
BILE peeping out through the trees"
"And there's the bell, now," ex-
claimed Mrs. Perkins, with little ner-
vous start.
"And the smith. a mighty man is he"
Hummed Elma, beginning to tie back her
curls with fllet of blue ribbon. 'But

Mrs. Perkins straightened Emma's
sash, gave her curls several twitches this
way and that, and dragged her into the
breakiast-room just in time to avert the
usual morning lecture from old Major
Elmwood on the evils of late rising.
But that afternoon, in the purple soft
ness Of twilight, Elma managed to evade

the woods with her sketch-book.

o Time and Change they range and range
From sunshine round to thunderl
They glance and go as the great winds blow,
And the best of our dreams drive under:
For Time and Change estrange. estrange-
And, now they have looked and seen us,
0 we that were dear we are all too near
With the thick of the world between us.
o Death and Time, they chime and chime
Like bells at sunset falling
They end the song, they right the wrong,
They set the old echoes calling:
For Death and Time bring on the prime
Of Gods own chosen weather,
And we lie in the peace of the Great Release
AS once in the grass together.
