TRAINED CHAMELEONS.
What a Girl Accomplished with Two of
These Reptiles.

=" mat Glrl accompanied WIN Two oi
These Reptiles.
Much has been written about the
beauty, the stupidity and the vicious
ness of the lizard tribe, and want to
say word about the intelligence of
the chameleon, a little reptile belong
ing to the great lizard family, and in
size the antipodes of the alligator,
it's big brother.
The incident now relate came un-
der my personal observation and dem
onstrates that the chameleon is sus-
ceptible to education and can be
ranked with animals classed much
higher in the scale of intellectual de-
velopment.
Miss Henrietta Keene, little lady of
12 years, living in Philadelphia, was
presented with two Florida chameleons,
and she at once began instructing and
educating her pets. By continued gen
tleness and Kindness she won their con-
fidence, and at her call they would raise
their heads, listen, and then come run
ming quickly Soon they responded to
their names-Brinton and Baby-and
nodded their little heads knowingly.
She then taught them to stand up
on their hind legs and put their little
forepaws together and stand in the at
titude of prayer, looking solemn and
closing their eyes; at signal they
would quickly PROSTATE themselves,
roll over on their backs and pretend to
be dead, lying without motion, until
told to rise and embrace, which they
would do with every sign of joy and
pleasure. e.-Washington Star.

Lifts Child In Its Paws and Puts Her

Miss Isabel f. Hapgood translates for
st. Nicholas true story from the Russ
sian of Vera p. ZhelikhovslSy. 1t is an
incident that occurred in 1s47, in the;
Trans-Caucasian German colony of .he
Elizabeththal, about 30 miles from.
Tiflis. A picnic party discovered a
large bear (called "Milthail Ivan'itch",
and General Toptygin" in Russian) on
a narrow ledge of rock high up in a
gorge. This is what followed:
All at once a simultaneous cry of
pity, terror, horror, broke from all.
From behind the crag little girl made
her appearance. The tiny colonist was
seven or eight years old; not more.
She was strolling along with her arms
crossed carelessly on her pink apron.
A large hat of coarse straw, such as all
colonists, whether young or old, wear
in hot weather, had fallen quite over on
the nape of her neck; and surrounded

The Arizona sentinel., 1896-01-04

Arizona stands at the threshold of an
era of wonderful social and industrial de.
velopment. There can't be doubt about
the fact. The dawn for which she has
waited so long is breaking at last. There
is every promise of day of great pros.
perity and permanent upbuilding just be-
fore her. The impulse of new and ener.
giving hope is visible everywhere among
her people, while the cumulative effect OF
many things, which made but small i'm.
preston as they transpired singly, is now
commanding for her full share of atten-
ton and interest abroad among home
seekers and capitalists
A lively competition has sprung up for
the possession of things which have hereto
fore gone a-begging for ownership. There
is scramble for franchises. Nothing more
surely indicates a great industrial awaken
ing than this. The rates of interest are
falling to moderate figures. Nothing more
surely indicates confidence and competition
among the money lenders than this.
Arizona has reached that climacticer
period which every western state has ex-
perienced sometime in its history when,
after long and weary struggle and doubt;
with each side of the balance first up and
then down. the clouds of despondency
have suddenly rolled away, and a sunhurst
of energizing hope has thrilled the droop:
ing spirits of the people to greater and
Drawer endeavor than before.
For the last twelve years the subsistence
of the great Tombstone boom and Che COM
pletiOn of two transcontinental lines of
railroad across her territory-Arizona has
rather dropped out of public attention,
but in that time she has been quietly &C
cumulating fund of substantial wealth
and a force Of moral character which
qualify her now to rise up and take her
destiny in her own hands.
The population of Arizona is Mexican.
This is a mistake of great Importance from
the moral point of view. There is but one
considerable center of Mexican population
in the territory, the city of Tucson, and
even there it is not by any means at pres
ent the predominating element. 1t think
it is Gel tain that Arizona has not to-day
nearly SO large Mexican population as
Colorado and not above one-tenth as much
as New Mexico. >"Fitz- Mae" in Denver.

Resources
Of
Yuma County.
YUMA COUNTY.

A white man first set foot on what is
now Yrma County in l77l. 1t is the
southwest division of the Territory, and
enc of the four original counties of the Ter
terry. Many great reclamation projects are
however on foot, and in few years ex-
pect to see Yuma County rated as the
richest in the Territory.
The first glimpse the traveller from Cali
fOrnia catches CT Arizona is that of the
picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly
situated in the embrace of gentle rolling
bills, upon whose crests and sides the
modern homes of our superior civilization
are crowding the adobe dwellings into
eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway 10
Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon
those undeyeloped riches the eyes of the
,untry are at present turned, and as such,
ne is bound to grow and prosper with a
rapidity that at present can hardly be re-
LIKED. But coupled with her geographi-
cal position we find that she is the center
Of a country whose agricultural possibili-
les are practically unlimited, being sur
rofnded by soil the fertility of which
exceeds that of the delta of the Nile, and
wanting oaly water to become paradise of
Loom. Billions of gallons of that precious
aid have annually gone to waste at
uma's very doors, but already reaction
Is taking place and many enterprises are
u foot to supply the life-giving waters of
ne yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth.

acres, now profitless, can be made productive
by the construction of rrgating bitches, and there
is no investment which assures larger more
permanent returns
The foregoing statements are not exaggerated;
in fact they fall short of doing justice to this
derful land. Pineapples, dates, almonds and wal
nuts will do well. Strawberries, raspberries, black
berries, currants, gooseberries and all varieties of
small fruits can be successfully cultivated Indeed
Yuma County is not only the natural home of the
citrus and semi tropical fruits, as almost every
fruit nut, plant, grain grass or vegetable which
eau be produced in either tropic temperate zone
will thrive in its rich and fertile soils
WHY EMMIGRANTS SHOULD COME TO YUMA
COUNTY.
Because the climate is perfect.
Because the soil is fertile and prolific.
Because land is abundant and cheap.
Because home can be made with little
labor.
Because SO great a variety of products
can be grown.
Because the yield is large and the priced
always remunerative.
Because life is a luxury in land where
the sun shines every day.
Because there are chances for poor man
which he can never hope to find in older
countries.
Because the country is advancing and
property values are increasing.
Because, unlike Southern California II
does not require small fortune to secure a
piece of land.
Because capital does not block all the av.
enues to wealth, nor crowd the poor man
to the wall.
Because Uncle Sam has yet many farms
In Yuma county waiting for occupants.
Bscause churches, schools, newspapers
and railroads are fast developing the moral
and material elements of the Territory.
Because good land is becoming scarce, and
if you don't catch on now, your last chance
will soon be gone.
Because the country is one of the few
regions of the Uuited States that yields the
products of the temperate and semi-tropic
zones.
Because the worker receives a fair COM
pensation for his labor, and the 'rustler' has
field for the display of his energy and en-
terprise.
Because there are neither billiards. or
tornadoes, earthquakes nor foundations,
snow-storms nor cyclones.
Because the vast and varied resources of
the country are yet to be developed.
Because the wealth of its mines, its farm
ing Valleys and grazing lands, will yet build
up great and prosperous county.
Because man can make livelihood her.
with less labor than in any other part of the
United States.
Because there is health in every breeze,
and strength and vigor under its cloudless
skies.
Because the settler need not spend a life
time in telling trees and grabbing out
stumps.
Because vegetation is so rapid that in two
years the home is surrounded by a growth
OF trees ana shrubs which would require
tive years to develop in colder cline
Because fortunes here await the venture
some, and health welcomes the afflicted.
Because the country has brilliant future
and you want to be in the ''swim."
Because in its pure, dry invigorating air
epidemic diseases cannot live or terminate
Because its people are generous, liberal
hospitable and progressive.

Because the opportunities for engaging in

Because good mining properties can be had
at reasonable figures.
Because there is demand for additional
facilities for ore reduction.
Because there are vast stretches of rich
soil to be reclaimed by the construction of
irrigating canals.
Because there are large tracts Of grass
lands that can be utilized by the sinking OF
artesian wells
Because there are many openings ina new
