How a Chameleon Changes Color.

The chameleon is little lizard who
possesses the wonderful power of chang
ing his color to suit his own conven-
fence. Florida produces several species
of these lizards in abundance. This is
the process by which the little lizard
effects his changes:
Certain colors through the medium Of
the optic nerve produce a contraction or
expansion of the pigment or color cells.
The result is protective tint or one
which resembles that upon which the
animal is resting. The eye receives the
stimulus or impression, which passes
from the optic nerve to the sympathetic
nerve, so reaching the various series of
the lizards little color cells under the
skin.
The pigment cells are distributed all
over the body with more or less regular
ity, and upon their contraction and ex-
pansion depends the prevailing color Of
the animal.
The scientist discovered this by blind
folding lizard and found that when it
could not see the color of the surround
ing foliage it ceased to change its own
color. Louis Republic.

Her borrowed Plumsee.

A Syracuse woman was in Boston
some time ago, and see had occasion to
get a check cashed, being without ready
money. She had no friend who was
easily available, but she went to bank
and presented her che, OF course she
was told she would have to be identi-
fed. The cashier of the bank suggested
that she might have one of her cards.
She took out her cardcase, but the card
she produced proved to be that of one of
her friends. This caused her d great
deal of confusion, but the accommodate
ing cashier suggested that she might
prove her identity by the initials on her
cardcase. But these, alas, proved to be-
those of her mother. Her confusion con-
tinued to increase until she thought Of
the initials on her handkerchief. The
marked article was produced to be put
in evidence, but when it was examined
it was found to bear the initials of an
other friend. She was thwarted in every
direction, but the cashier was "ea.y."

WRESTLING WELLS.
Natural Barometers Which Foretell Storms
In Wisconsin.

Natural Barometers Which Foretell Storms
In Wisconsin,.
A freak of nature which is attracting
considerable attention is a series Of
blowing or "whistling' wells located
in the northern part of the town of Eu-
reka, in Polk county, Wis There are
six of these hysterical wells, ranging in
depth from 1870 to 100 feet. The one
owned by James Coffin exhibits most
remarkable features. This we'll is l2O
feet deep and was dug 10 years ago.
The first 20 feet was hardpan and the
rest coarse gravel. :...
Before rainstorm the wind blows
out of this we'll with great force. max
ing roaring sound that can be heard a
long distance. The wind is SO hot that
water placed on the cover of the well
will boil. The wind blows out only be-
fore storm, and the severity and dp-
ration Of the storm are always in exact
proportion to the force Of this current
and it's duration before the storm eom=
mences. 1t is therefore an accurate and
trustworthy barometer, OF vice versa,
with equal accuracy, but remains quiet
in settled weather.
In winter a current of air is drawn
in before change of weather just as
fottibly as it blows out in hot weather.
This current will freeze the water 100
feet from the surface of the earth as
quickly as it would at the surface, and,
though many attempts have been made
to use a pump in the well, they have
all failed, and a number Of pumps of
different makes have been destroyed by
the water freezing and bursting the
cylinders and pipes.
The other five wells, which resemble
this one in many respects, are all locat-
ed within the radius of about one mile
and vary in depth from 1870 to 100 feet.
All sorts of theories have been ad-
vanced concerning an underground pas
sage, but no outlet has ever been discov-
cred, and if there is one it must be a
great distance away in order to foretell
the approach of storms SO long time

A MILD HAMMERED PIRATE,

An Ex-Clerk Who Joined the Fierce Sea
Rovers OF the Spanish Main.
'The Buccaneers of Our Coast" is the
title of series of narrative sketches
that Frank R. Stockton is writing 70,
st. Nicholas. In speaking of John Els.
quemeling, who joined the buccaneers
and became their historian, Mr.. Stock.
ton says:
1t must have been strange thing fol
. man accustomed to pens and ink, to
yardsticks and scales, to offer to enroll
himself In company of bloody, big
bearded pirates, but man must eat,
and buccaneering was the only profes.
sion open to our ex-clerk. For some rea
son or other, certainly not Oh account of
his bravery and daring, Esquemeling
was very we'll received by the pirates of
Tortuga. Perhaps they liked him be-
cause he was mild hammered man and
10 different from themselves.
AS for Esquemeling himself, he soon
came to entertain the highest opinions
of his pirate companions. He looked
upon the buccaneers who had distin.
guished themselves as great heroes, and
it must have been extremely gratifying
TO those savage fellows to tell Esque-
melting all the wonderful things they
had done. Esquemeling might have
earned a salary as listener.
1t was not long before his intense ad
miration of the buccaneers and their per-
formances began to produce in him the
feeling that these great exploits should
not be lost to the world, and so he set
about writing their lives and adventures.
He remained with the pirates for sew
eral years and during that time worked
very industriously getting together ma
terial for his history. When he returned
to his own country in 1879, he there
completed book which he called "The
Buccaneers of America; or, The True
Account of the Most Remarkable AS
saults Committed of Late Years Upon
the Coasts of the West Indies by the
Buccaneers, etc. By John Esquemeling,
One of the Buccaneers, Who Was Pres.
emit at Those Tragedies
From this title it is probable that in
the capacity of reporter our literary pi-
rate accompanied his comrades on their
various voyages and assaults, and al
though he states he was present at many
of "those tragedies" he makes no refer
ence to any deeds of valor or cruelty
performed by himself, which shows him
to have been a wonderfully conscien-
tious historian. There are persons, how
ever, who doubt his impartiality, be-
cause, as he liked the French, he al
ways gave the pirates Of that nationality
the credit for most Of the bravery dis
played on their expeditions, and all of
the magnanimity and courtesy, if there
happened to be any, while the surliness,
brutality and extraordinary wickedness
We're all ascribed to the English.

TALL BUILDINGS.

The Akysoraper Considered - . Devios
For Saving Labor. ...
In the tall building it is emphatically
"a condition, not a. theory" that con-
fronts us. The many storied Office build
ing is necessary product Of certain
economic factors which have operated in
spite of the architects, and more intense
" in the United States than elsewhere.
This is what has made it 80 peculiarly
an American product. OF these econom-
10 factors the cost of land, 50 common.
ly alleged as the controlling one, has
really been the least important. Land
in parts of Paris and London is as cost.
ly as in New York and Chicago, but the
Is story Office building has never come
into vogue there, while, Oh the other
hand. buildings of 10 or IL stories are
not uncommon in American cities Of the
second and third rank, where land is
relatively cheap. The causa causans Of
the skyscraping monstrosity is to be
sought in the drive and hurry Ut Amer
lean business life, and in the accom-
panying American propensity to save
time and labor. The skyscraper is a
huge labor saving and time saving de-
vice. -..
Each building is almost a complete
CITY, often comprising within its walls
banks and insurance Offices postoffice
and telegraph Office, business exchanges,
restaurants, clubrooms and shops. The
business man can provide himself with
clothes, shoes, cigars, stationery and
baths; receive and dispatch his mail and
his kilograms; speculate on Change,
consult his lawyer and his architect in
their offices and transact his own bust
ness-all without leaving the building
in which his Office is located. The ex-
press elevator which shoots him up to
the sixteenth story or drops him with
breathless speed to the basement is
product of this same American haste
and economy, and without the elevator
the tall Office building would be an i'm
possibility. 1t is the triumphant sue
cess of the skyscraper as time saving
invention which has made it SO con-
spicuous and insistent an element in our
American architecture. - Engineering
