ABOUT ARIZONA.

UNDER date Of January 10 the
San Francisco Cal publishes an
editorial of considerable length
about Arizona using the letter
written by Hon. Whitelaw Reid as
a text. Among other truthful
comments, the Cal says:
"The visitor who goes to Ari-
zona for the winter will find more
attractions than that of climate.
Although regarded as desert, Ari-
IONA has wonderful possibilities
Of wealth. Her sands car be made
as fruitful as the richest soils in
the Union, by irrigation. Many
of her valleys are already M
ing notei AS fruit-growing dis,
tricts, and there can be little doubt
that, like California, Arizona will
yet be richer in her orchards than
in her mines. People who go there
simply to seek for health will find
abundant inducements to remain
and make comfortable homes fol-
themselves all the year round.

What o Little Girl Accomplished with
Two of 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, little reptile belonging to
the great lizard family and in size the
antipode of the alligator, its big broth
er, snys correspondent of the Wash

The incident now relate came under
my personal observation, and demon
strates that the chameleon is susceptible
of education and can be ranked with
animals classed much higher in the
scale of intellectual development.
Miss Henrietta Keene, little lady of
10 years, living in Philadelphia, was
presented with two Florida chamele-
ons, and she at once began instructing
and educating her pets. By continued
gentleness and kindness she won their
confidence, and at her call they would
raise their heads, listen and then come
running quickly. Soon they responded
to their names-Brinton and Baby
ond nodded their little heads know
ingly.
She then taught them to stand up
on their hind legs and put their little
fore paws together and stand in the
attitude 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

CLOCKS WITH NERVES.
They Refuse to Do Reliable Work VIII
Placed In High Buildings.

Placed In High Buildings.
There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is just now being
noticed by the occupants. 1t is perhaps
a small disadvantage, but still is worth
considering, as it involves some annoy.
ancc to those who have not made pro.
vision for it, says the New York Times
The trouble referred 10 is the stop-
ping CT pendulum clocks by the vibra.
rion of the buildings. Many a rendu-
iula clock that has kept accurate time
for years in old-fashioned low struc-
lures has refused to run nj all when
moved into some one of the new tall
steel-framed buildings in the lower
part of the city. On the lower floors o.
the buildings the clocks run fairly
well, but when higher up in the build
ings, they become more whimsical,
and on the top floors will not run at all.
MIR. Dunn, Of the weather bureau, has
a fine pendulum clock in the tower OF
the Manhattan Life building, which has
not done an honest days work since the
weather bureau was moved into the
new offices. 1t has stopped so ofteu
that it is no longer to be relied upon
The pendulum swings continually, but
only from the vibration of the building,
as the clock has not been wound for
weeks. The only relief is in replacing
the pendulum clocks with others that
have balance wheels.

FLIES AND WASPS.

Hawk Insects.
By common agreement the wasp IS
accented as mathematical of irritability
and petty malignity; but even this
mrch-abused hymenopterous insect
PLAYS a beneficial part in the work OF
nature.
A number of wasps were seen by Mt.
L. NJ. harrington, an Irish naturalist,
Luzzing about his cows. Closer inspec-
ton revealed that they were all busy
catching flies, and bouncing with the
rapidity OF hawks after birds on the
flies as they tried to settle or rest on
some favorite part of the COWS. One
white COW drew more wasps than any OF
the others, because the moment Fly
alighted it was seen at once against the
skin. When a wasp catches fly it inn
mediately bites off both wings, some
times a leg or two, occasionally the
head.
Mr.. harrington saw some OF the
wasus when laden with one fly catch
another, without letting go the first,
and then fly away with both. There was
constant stream of wasps carrying
away flies, probably to feed the larvae
in their nests, ard returning again to
the COWS to catch more. In about 20
minutes Mr.. Darlington estimated that
between 300 and 400 flies were caught
on two COWS lying close to where he
stood

A Pretty Story.

Here is pretty story of the young
empress of Russia. A number of ladies
had been invited to the palace, in order
that the empress might think them per-
sonally for their share in a recently
concluded charitable entertainment.
Of course, all of them, womanlikc, were
longing to inquire after the little girl,
but felt that the query would sound
cold and formal if, according to ETH
quatte, they gave the child all her titles.
But there is wonderful freemasonry in
motherhood, and one of the ladies,
whose own sweet little girl was born on
the same day as Grand Duchess
Olga--a fact well known to the empress
said, quite naturally: "How is the
baby?" The effect was magical. The
empress face no longer wore what we
may call the state smile, but was
radiant as she talked of her little pet.

Why should not the Lone Star

that the Arizona Copper Com,
pany's mines are, which have
proved to be about the richest and
most productive in the world. Oh
course it took money, and lots oil
it, to develop those mines. 1t also
took skillful management. Those
mines arc practically inexhaustible
and in short time under the man
agement of the present superin
tendent, Mr.. Calquhoun, will be
come the most noted groupe Of
mines in the world. The Lone
Star has better prospect than die
the Clifton mines in the start. The
ore exists there, and a company
working those mines would not
have the almost insurmountable
difficulties to overcome as did the
Arizona Copper Company.

THE bill introduced in the legis
iature providing for the seml.an
nual payment of taxes, is a good
one and should become a law. II

penalty for nonpayment is fixed at
five per cent on the amount delln.
quent, added to the amount Of
taxes so delinquent. Taxpayers
paying the whole amount on time
are entitled to q IL per cent dis
count, and the list is required to be
published on or before the first
Monday in August. The bill
should provide and probably does
that taxes do not become delin-
quent until after the last payment
is due, but holding out as an in.
ducement to pay when the first be.
comes due, the proposed discount.
If taxes are TO become delinquent
twice q year it will be necessary to
publish a delinquent list just as
often. which is unnecessary. 1.-THE
bill holds out an inducement to pay
semi-annually and penalty if not
paid at the end of the year, we be

Dallas. Texas, Oct 1.-THE drought
Of the last eight weeks, which has cut
short the cotton crop over all north
Texas, dried up the pastures and put \
stop to nearly all farm work, has been
broken by hard rains that have fallen
over fully half the state during the past
"a hours. The rain belt extends from
the Brazos valley to Red river. and from
Abilene. In West Texas. and Wichita
Falls In the Pan Handle. to the Louis.
lana line The drought had damaged
the corn crop. lessened the state cotton
crop $4,000 bales and greatly retarded
preparations for .tall planting. Creeks
and ponds throughout central, western,
and northwest Texas have been threat
ened. Preparations for seeding a big
area Of wheat will now begin.
In some parts OF the Indian territory
the rain comes too late. 1t is feared, to
save fall crops.
