GRAVEYARD LIZARDS.
Supcrstitions About the Chamelcons
i'm New Orleans Cemeteries.


On any sunshiny day in the old
graveyards of New Orleans may be
seen hundreds of small bright green,
slender and fragile lizards, or cham
eleons, running over the walls of
the above ground tombs and darting
in and out among the vines and tall
grasses which grow between the Sc
pulchers. Seldom IT is that harm
comes to them. A New Orleans SUI
perstition holds that the person who
is so unlucky to main or kill one is
sure to die within the year.
How this superstition originated is
not easy to discover. 1t has endured
as long as the oldest Creole nanny
can remember, and an old negro
doggerel thus voices the belief
Kill er lizerd on de grave,
Dey ain no charm yo' life kin save.
Dire tales are told of the vista
tion descended upon those i'll starred
persons who have destroyed these
little skirmishers and, in the re-
verse, It is accounted the greatest of
good fortune should one of them
voluntarily cross your hand, On such
bright days when the chameleons are
drawn out in great numbers to bask
in the warm sunshine, men and wo-
men and children, mostly negroes,
may be seen in the graveyards rest
ing one or both hands against a
tomb and waiting at times for hours
for chameleon unsuspectng and
brave enough to scamper across the
patient digits.
Should this happen, the lucky
one goes home in triumph, free from
fear of future witchcraft and tlinging
defiance at the hoodoo doctors, whose
spells they feel they have certainly
counteracted. In fact, so potent is
considered the power of the little
chameleon of the graveyard that not
even the witch doctors will harm
one, and though they use the bones
of green lizards in the charms which
they sell to negroes they hunt for
them in the swamps and on the lake
shore. To kill one of these is con-
sidered no great crime against luck
and it may be added that the great
majority of chameleons which are
sold to tourists come from the
swamps and not from the grave
yards
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1905-11-09

Ancient Rome is responsible for the
gauge of our railway tracks, for
Stephenson, when he invented the
locomotive. decided upon the space
between the width of the ruts made
by the old Roman chariots, explain
ing that he did not believe that he
could improve upon the experience
OF power such as Rome had been.
Every standard gauge road the
world over is built upon these meas
urements, which have been found
as satisfactory now as when Nero
rolled through the streets of Rome
with the wheels of his chariot the
same distance apart as are those OF
the modern Pullman.

Keeping Time by Wireless.

DR.. Max Reithoffer, professor in
the Technical High School of Vienna,
in conjunction with Herr Karl Nora
clocks, has completed a system for
synchronizing clocks by means of
wireless telegraphy. The plan has
been submitted to the City Council,
and permission has been secured for
regulating the public clocks by this
agency. The city clocks are to be
served free by the system. but for
synchronixing private timepieces a
small fee will be levied.

PRODUCTION OF STUPIDITY.
Thought to BE Due 10 Ovcr-Stimula-
ton by City Life.

Any dearth of ability from which
the civilized world may be suffering,
sa"s Sir J. Crichton Browne, is to be
ascribed not so much to the infertil-
ity of the cultivated classes as to the
artificial production of stupidity in
w G"ious ways, and to the incessant
draining from the country-which
is the fit and proper breeding place
and rearing ground of intellect--of
the best elements of the people, to
be swallowed up or deteriorated in
the big towns. The idea that the
agricultural laborer is set apart from
his fellows by dulness of intellect is
as untenable as the belief that the
city urchin is cleverer and better en-
dowed mentally than the little yokel.
The rule seems to be that the mental
development a children is hastened
by city life, but soon stops short.
Up till thirteen or fourteen years of
age they are precocious, and then
come to standstill. City life at its
best is bad for children, involving as
1t does early puberty, exciting dis
traction, superficiality of knowledge,
insufficient rest, and the want of
soothing influences which the coun-
try affords. At its worst, with tight
squeezing in squalid tenements, poor
food, foul air, constant contact with
vice, and manifold temptations, it is
drying up the reservoirs of strength
in the population and leaving an i'm
mense proletariat of inferior quality.

In Servia an old institution called
the Zadruga still exists. 1t is the
living together of a whole tribe,
numbering about $50 persons, under
the absolute authority of one chief,
who keeps all the money, makes all
purchases and decides every detail
of family life.
