Revive An Old Project.

Shenandoah, May 1.-THE Langdon,
Rockport & Northern is a new rail-
road about to be built between this
place and Rockport, Mo. 1t was pro-
jected years ago and part of the line
put in operation then from Langdon on
the Missouri river to Rockport county
seat of Atchison county, Mo-, but was
then partially abandoned as far as the
rest of the route was concerned.
Now it is revived. Capitalists have
taken hold of the project, preliminary
survey made, and steps taken to pro-
cure the right of way, which it is said
will be an easy task. Shenandoah IS
the northern terminus now, but the
road may ultimately be built straight
to Des Moines. 1t now appears certain
that the thirty miles from here to
Rockport will be built in the near flu
ture.

THE CHAMELEON.
1t Has Two Complete and Independ-
emit Nervous Systems.

Gnt Nervous systems.
There are few instances of double
birth in which two individuals are In
separately joined together, but among
animals it is a common occurrence. A
case in point is the chameleon, long ia
NOUS for it's power of changing color.
The nervous centerS in one lateral
half of the chameleon go on independ-
emily of those in the other. Notwith-
standing the strictly symmetrical con-
StructiOn Of the animal as to it's two
halves, they move quite independently
of one another and convey separate
impressions to their respective centers
Of perception. The consequence is that
when the animal is agitated it's move
ments resemble those of two animals,
or, rather, perhaps, two halves of ami
mails glued together. Each half wishes
to go it's own way, and there is no con-
cordance of action. The chameleon,
therefore, is the only four legged YER
tebrate that is unable to swim. 1t be-
comes so frightened when dropped into
water that all faculty of concentration
is lost, and the creature tumbles about
as if in q state of intoXicatiOn.
The chameleon, moreover, may be
fast asleep on one side and wide awake
on the other. Cautiously approached at
night with a candle so as not to aWak-
en- the whole animal at once, the eye
turned toward the light will open and
begin to move and the corresponding
side to change color, whereas the other
side will remain for longer or shorter
time in a torpid, motionless and un-
changed state with it's eye fast shut

asking ALI kinds Of questions and POI

refused his political Influence to all
those seeking IT. although he made
some exceptions in this rule. Writing

DIET DELUSlONS.

BarbRrOus Tribes.
Some diet decisions are of most mod

10 that very ancient survival, the no.
ton that particular foods are good"
for particular things OF effects.
This is an almost direct descendant
OF the notion, held with greater or less
unanimity by nearly all savage and
barbarous tribes, that the flesh or WIS.,
cera OF birds and animals possessing
particular qualities will be likely to
produce the same qualities in those
who eat them.
Thus Nero used to banquet on night
tngales' tongues in the hope of improv-
ing his voice. and the savage cut out
and deyOured the heart of the bear,
the liver Of the buffalo, etc., believing
that the strength and courage of these
animals would thereby be transferred
to himself.
1t is probable that the most grew

was largely due to the same belief, al
though, Of course, in Neanderthal days
primitive man would have nc more
hesitancy about eating his enemy after
he had killed him than he would in de-
YOuring bear or a deer.
In fact, the early converts of the
missionaries in the South Sea islands
referred to their favorite dish as "long
pig" Every known race has at some
dine been cannibal.-McClure's Maya
