D, B. N. Androus writes to a friend in
Pomona as follows: II was very much
surprised and panied at what I saw in
the papers in regard to the committee
you people have sent up here TO work
tor the new county. Now, want to say
this to you: No men could do more
than McComas and Stein have done.
They are loyal, and do not deserve the
unfavorable criticism that has been
made, and consider it piece of inius-
tice them. II the fault finders would
put their shoulders to the wheel and
help, instead of trying to pull down, the
chances are that we would win the fight.
Say to your committee not to get dis
couraged; things are not as dark as the
good people Of Pomona would have You
believe"

that the prospects are fair for the pas

Ammonia in Coal,

Some $4,000, 600 tons of coal are burned
in London yearly. About 100000 are
utilized by the gas man ufacturiug COM
panies; 100000 are burned in house,
hold and industrial fire CRATES. Each
ton contains sufficient ammonia to pro-
duce, if treated with sulphuric acid,
twenty-five to twenty-eight pounds of
sulphate of ammonia. The total loss of
this fertilizing agent is therefore, say,
$3.50 tons. AS the price of sulphate of
ammonia is 60 los. the ton, the none
tary loss is e94,905 every year. If we
were less wasteful we should not be SO
much obliged to ransack Chill and Peru
for artificial manures.-National Re-

LIZARDS FOR THE LADIES
Chameleons on Golden Chains the
 Latest Fad of Fashion.
Some Peculiarities of the Curious Little Creature as Described by
 Weu-Known Reptil- ---~-~--7' ian, Expert.

"Never heard of having pet cham eleon?" said an up-to-date young lady to Washington Star man. "Why, you surprise me. The animal is be- coming quite fad. Down in Florida, where I was last winter, very particu- lar friend of mine always carried her chameleon about with her, wherever she went. I'm not sure but that she slept with it. At all events, she wore it constantly.
 "Yes, wore it, of course! That is the way to do with a chameleon, according to the latest style. Though I am get ting very fond of my particular speci- men, I am not quite reconciled to wearing it yet. But this friend of whom I just spoke had her chameleon attached to chain. She had jeweler fasten little gold band around the creatures body, just behind the fore legs. To this band the chain is fas- tened, the other end of it being at tached to pin, which is stuck into the dress.
 "Oh, assure you that it is quite the thing. A number of women of my ac- quaintance in Florida last winter wore chameleons. They had them fastened to their dresses by slender gold chains, so that the animal could walk about. If you have chameleon it is correct to wear him all the time. Repulsive idea, you say? Not at all.

THE GREAT INLAND CITY,
What Has Helped Chicago in Her Phe-
 Domenal Growth.

What Has Helped Chicago in Her Phe-
 pomenal Growth.
 A generation ago, says the London Spectator, America consisted of the settled northeastern and southeastern states and of the great expanse of more or less wild continent behind them. Year by year, however, the population has been spreading west, and every fresh census has pushed in- land the mean line of population the line on either side of which the population is equal The significance of this gradual withdrawal of the mean population line from the coast must not be missed. The fact means that the Anglo-Saxons in the United States are becoming what they have never been before in their history, an inland people.
 In very little time, the vast major ity of Americans will not only have never seen the sea, but will never have been within Q thousand miles of it. The destiny of the American people is to be- come as much a people of great inland plains as the Russians, and this fact will be made clear to the sworld when travellers leave the ocean at New York, and after travelling inland over a thousand miles find themselves in city as big as Vienna, and ten times as rich and energetic.
 The existence of great city so far removed from the sea is probably unique in the worlds history. Delhi in the days of it's greatest prosperity h2d no doubt very large population, but unless Moscow can be called great we can recall no other great city of an cient or modern times situated in tho heart of continent. It may he said that Chicago is an exception only in name, and that it could never have achieved the position it has achieved but for the fact that it is situated on the shores of a great double-armed in- land sea. No doubt the great lakes have helped Chicago, and no doubt also the fact that they require from the populations which surround them all the sea-faring qualities of the Eng fish race will prevent it's inhabitants from becoming too inlandish in their  habits.
 Chicago, however, is not enough in the middle of the continent to hold forever the position of the typical American city. As the center of popu- lation shifts westward her relative po- sition will decline, and she will ulti- mately have to give way to some younger rival in the west and south, possessed of a geological position more suited to the commercial capital of a nation of some two hundred millions of inland people. Still, as we have said above, Chicago for the time will serve as an object lesson in regard to the great change which has come over the conditions under which the American continent is inhabited.

FUTURE OF THE HUMAN FOOT.
Progressive Development in the Art o1
 Lii

Progressive Development in the Art of
 Sl.Semaking.
 The boot and shoe exhibit at the worlds fair leads one to view with alarm the prospective fate of the human pedals, says the Minneapolis Tribune. The wild variety of in genious shapes exhibited in shoes dis closes the fact that the human foot in modern times has ceased to have a shape of its own. It is putty in the hands of the ingenious artist. In short, the foot, as to shape and size, is purely a shoemalzer's product. If, therefore, we want to know what the foot of the future is to be we must study the trend of the cobbler's art.
 In spite of the fearful variety of shapes and dimensions exhibited in the worlds fair shoe exhibit, there are certain tendencies of the shoemaking art that are clearly marked and show progressive development. Between the shoepacl1 and plowshoe on the one hand and the patent leather ball room slipper on the other there is a broad variation in the shape and di- mensions which the human foot must assume, and yet there are one or two principles which apply more or less in common to all of the widely diferen- tiated styles.
 The one principle which stands out most prominently in all the schools of the shoemaking art is this: That there is but one recognized toe on the human foot. The other eXcrescences are not to be countenanced or tolerated. The definition approved by all shoe mo- distes is that the human foot is a varia- ble aggregation consisting of four parts-the heel, the instep, the ball and the great toe. The latest and gen erally adopted canon relative to the proper shape of the front part of the shoe is that it should consist of a straight line drawn from the outer edge of the ball of the foot to the tip of the great toe. It is true there are many styles of shoes that do not con form rigidly to the canon, but the vari- ations are permitted simply on aesthetic grounds to secure variety, and not at all that not more than one toe is recog- nized.
 There is said to be only one shoe in the worlds fair exhibit which distinct ly recognizes and countenances five toes on the human foot. and that is the wooden shoe from Belgium. That shoe, which allots five compartments of space to the toe family, is the excep- tion which proves the rule-namely, that the great toe is the only author ized projection on the portico of the pedal structure. A generation or two more of culture and heredity under the Draconian laws imposed by the shoe artists will doubtless see the hu- man foot simplifed and improved by the gradual elimination of four super fiuous, useless, and inartistic frontal projections

little animal this is! Are its eyes not bright? And then it turns from one color to another in such wonderful way. When I tickle mine under the chin he always changes to a bright pea green.
 ''Do you know, was very much frightened when I brought my cha meleon up from the south? After he left Florida last winter he positively refused to take thing to eat. I tried him with scraps of raw meat and bread, but he declined to touch a mor- sel. Flies are his favorite diet, but there were none of those to be had in the north during cold weather. Final 1y it occurred tome to experiment with cockroaches. To my delight he de- voured them with avidity. I believe that half dozen chameleons kept in the kitchen and pantry would do away with every roach, particularly water bugs"
 Dr. Steinger, the reptilian expert of the Smithsonian institution, was ap- piled to for information respecting this so-called species of chameleon. Said he:
 sIt is not true chameleon. In fact, it is not so nearly related to the chameleon as the monkey is to the man. Its right name is the 'anolis,' and it is peculiar to America. Though tropical animal, it's habitat extends up into Florida. It lives in trees, and, like the real chameleon, is an eater of insects.
 Here are couple of true chameleons' in this bottle of alcohol. You will ob- serve that they are very different look ing animals from the anolis. They are not found in America, but inhabit Afri- ca, the south of Europe and southwest Asia. There are more than twenty diff ferent species. Some of them attain a length of sixteen inches when full grown. Certain kinds have long horns. They are very ancient type of reptile indeed.
 ''One of their peculiarities has to do with their feet. Each of these extrem- ities has five toes, but is divided in such a manner that there are three toes on one S1Qo ana two on the OCnor. II you will put your hand in the position of being about to grasp and will imag- inc that you have two thumbs and only three fingers you will perceive the likeness to the foot of the chameleon. It is made that way because it is de- signed for grasping the twigs of trees in which it lives. The animal further assists itself to hold on by means of its prehensile tail, which it winds about the branch. Madagascar is a great place for chameleons. How do they change color, you ask? Oh, that is very well understood, though it is not easy to explain in few words. Beneath the outer skin are several layers of pigment cells. When upon a green leaf the cells containing the green pigment come to the top, while the others re- treat. It is the same way with other colors produced. Of course these color changes are entirely involuntary on the part of the animal, being merely intended to conceal it from it's enemies ,

''As to the Collis robbery we stand upon the record made by the prosecution with one or two additions. We propose to show that George Sontag's story that Evans broke into the powder houee and stole dynamite, WAS false. The powder house was never broken in at all and no powder was ever stolen. Kinds said George and John Sontag were the guilty parties and were shell tering under Evans good name.
