THE CHAMELEON SPIDER.
An African fnssct That Changes Its Color
at Will.

! Almost all travellers in tropical re-
gions have wonderful stories to tell of
the strange mimicry of lcrves and
flowers by insects. Sometimes the pur-
pose Of imitation appears to be con-
ccalmcnt, and sometimes the laying of
n snare to catch other insects. A curl
ous instance OF this Is related by Mr..
II. II. j. Bell. While travelling ON the
Gold Coust of Africa last year, he no.
ticed In the bushes n singular-looking
white flower with blue center.
Stopping to examine II he found to
his astonishment that 1t was not n
flower Mt all, but spiders web. and
that the supposed light blue heart Of
the flower was the spider itself lying
In wait for it's prey. The legs OF the
cunning spider, yellow notified with
brown, were extended In such n way rs
to resemble the divisions between the
petals Of the flower.
The web itself, very dclicntcly woven
into rosette pattern, was white, and
the threads that suspended IL from the
bushes were 30 fine rs to he almost In
visible. The whole thing had the ap-
pcarance OF being suspended in tho
air upon stem concealed beneath.
When Mr.. Bell knocked the spider
from It's perch into white gauzc net,
his surprise was Increased upon seeing
his captive instantly turn from blue to
white. Its former mimicry had been
pructiscd ns q snare; now II was play
ing similar game for tho purpose of
oonccalment.
But the end of the performance was
mt vot ran chad When Mr. He'll shook
hiA captive Its body again changed
color, becoming this time dull green
iah-brown. Later he captured another
specimen Of the same species Of spider,
whose flower web gesembled an orchid.
This spider exhibited the same rcWarls,
eblc power Of changAg its color

HARRIET MONROE'S WRATH.
The New York World has an

The New York World has an in
teresting suit on it's hands. Miss
Harriet Monroe, author of the
"World's Fair Ode" sues that lively
New York journal for $4,000 for
unlawfully getting hold of the manu-
script and printing the poem in adj
vance of the opening days proceed
ings. By reason of this bit of enter
prise (?) on the part of the World,
the interest in the rehearsal of the
ode at Chicago was lessened, the
author was deprived of an opportu-
nifty to license it's reading or singing
in other cities, her advantages under
the copyright law were destroyed,
and her literary reputation was
damaged because of the errors in the
garbed publication. Miss Monroe
takes umbrage also at the publica-
ton by the World of an alleged por-
trait of herself and a false descrip-
tive article. The World, it seems,
was warned in season that it was
trespassing on the authors rights,
but preferred to take its chances
rather than miss what it deemed a
big chance for scoop"
Miss Monroe may have set her
figures high so far as the real value
of the ode is concerned, but jour.
nalistic methods like these may well
be called in question.

Gently held mass meeting and public
" denounced the senator's from that
state for their persistent opposition
to the passage of the repeal bill.
Similar action has also been taken
in Pennsylvania, the Union League
having passed resolutions condemn
ing the attitude assumed by Sena-
tor Cameron and calling upon him
to lay aside his personal preference
and prejudice and vote for the repeal
bill, on the passage of which so much
depends.
The Transcript hints that mass
meeting in Boston, with like end
in view, might help put an end to the
useless talk in the senate.
The financial situation does not
improve as rapidly as it might, and
the people of different sections do
we'll to wake up and demand of
their representatives t, closer atten-
ton to interests that are vastly
more important than senatorial

This expression of opinion is in de-

A BAD NOMINATION.

The nomination of Isaac H. May
nard to be judge of the New York
court of appeals scores a point for
the Hill machine in that state; but
1t has caused a howl of Indignation
among administration" democrats
and independent voters. The New
York Sun, which is Hill to the core,
regards Maynard's nomination as
an exceedingly fit Que, and as re-
preventative of the will of large
majority of the state democracy
The Tribune calls Maynard a mill
stone around the party's neck and
several other journals which are not
so republican in tendency oppose the
nomination and urge Maynards de-
feat. The nominees connection with
the recent steal of the state senate
by the Hill faction makes him special
ly unfit for the high office for which
he has been named, and it devoves
upon the people of New York state
to administer a decided rebuke to
the machine at the polls. From the
very nature of the political make
up of New York and other large
