As chaIneleons become tamo they change color less rapidly, showing the habit ls protective and to render itself less conspicuous. Indeed the power of assuming the color of it's surroundings is tho only protection these helpless creatures possess. Mir S. D. Bairstow informs me that he was watching a cha meleon on a shrub when a wild beo or two came out of a nest close by, and i'm. mediately the chameleon dOffed it's bright green dress and became nearly black and therefore inconspicuous. Their turning white at night may find reason in the predominancs of shining foliage in the South African trees.

"The little creature is the worst despised of all animal life, but from dis. coYeries of my own, after long and pa tient investigation he has gained my respect, and l want to extend to him assurances of my most distinguished consideration, l have found out that but for the earthworm's iudefatigable tUil very little of vegetation would grow except by irrigation Ho is the greatest producer of moisture and heat in the world
 He does more than the plowshare to disturb the latent heat and moisture of the earth and bring them to the top soil to vitalizs and myigorate the struggling roots O: the grasses, grains and other forms of vegetation But for hiul great stretches of the western agricultural lands would become vast deserts.

 Many years ago mover was passing along that highway with his family. He had neither friends nor acquaintances in the neighborhood, and, in fact, the population was sparse. His wife took sick on the way, and he laid by on his journey at this place, towering far above the beautiful river. He found no remedy for his wife's illness and she died. With out help. and with nd loolleron save his daughter, then little girl, he dug a grave and buried his wife there. The headstone, if thero ever was one. de. cayed, and all trace of the identity of the dead was lost, But every one re- spected the burial place,
 Among those once familiar with this ueighbeihood was Mrs Martha Ale man, now of this city Last week she was talking with an Indianapolis friend of childhood associations. The new friend in the course of the conversation said:
 There is one thing that clouds my early life, and that is that do not know where my mother is buried l was still young when my father died in the new community where we had settled. My mother had been dead some years al- ready All remember is that on a long journey in a great covered wagon we stopped on the banks of river. There after some days, my father dug hole in the earth, and have faint recollec- tions that it was time of great sorrow, for mother had died, and there father ali alone had buried her"
 Was there a great bluff along tho river and a road running near the spot through the wools:"
 "Nes; l can sec the scene now pictured in my mind remember the road and the bluff distinctly"
 "Thon, my dear madam, said Mrs. Alleman, "I can tell you where your mother is buried" And she related the story as above.
