unu To Keen IA Chameleon.

The Florida chameleon, which also is
frequently brought home by the tourist.
is bright and intelligent creature. He
requires al,aost unlimited sunshine to
bask in, AMI flies. which he catches OH
the end of his long tongue. To eat. \
fernery is comfortable place for him.
This fellow it is said. has Il temper. and
if not well treated or if teased he will
show fight. though he can hardly do
much harm. The genuine chameleon,
after whom the Florida lizard is named,
is one of TIE quaintest and oldest Of
pets. but he Is IL native of the old world
and rarely seen i'll our country.
Another American of the family, often
sent from the west and south to pet
lovers. is called the horned toad. though
he is 10 toad, but Il lizard. He is said TO
be- an interesting pet a.d capable of be-
ing taught. All the small members of
this race live on insects and need to bs

have never desired to taste the flesh of
alligators, cooked or uncooked. But in
India have seen the Sontals and other
casteless natives greedily dcvour the
flesh Of an alligator without waiting TO
cook it. The flesh was very pale i'll color,
and probably was much superior to the
flesh Of snakes and rats and such like
creatures which form the ordinary food
of the predatory Sontal when hunting in
his native woods. II does not fall to his
lot very often TO be able to circumvcnt
and slay and eat u large alligator. He
