TWO ANIMALS ARE IN ONE.

Half of Il Cham eleon May Be Wide
Awake and the other Asleep.
To all appearances and according to
the researches Of those best capable Of
forming an opinion on the subject the
nervous centers in one lateral half of
the chameleon go on Independently of
those on the other, and it has two lat
eral centers of rceptiOn-sensation
and motion-besides the common one
in which must reside the faculty of
concentration.
The eyes move independently Of one
another and convey separate impress
sions to their respective centers of per-
ception. The consequence is that when
the animal is agitated its movements
resemble those of two animals or rather
perhaps two halves Of animals glued
own way and there is no concordance
of action.
The chameleon, therefore, is the only
four-legged vertebrate that is unable
to swim; it becomes so frightened when
dropped into wafer that I'll faculty of
concentration is lost and the creature
tumbles about as if in state of intox-
ication.
When a chameleon is undisturbed
every impulse to motion is referred to
the proper tribunal and the whole or
ganism acts in accordance with it's de-
crees.
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 awaken
the whole animal at once the eye turn
ed toward the light will open, begin to
move ana the corresponding side to
change color, whereas the other side
will remain for a longer or shorter time
in a torpid, motionless and unchanged
state, with its eye fast shut-Scentific

Prof. Joel Stebbins and T. W. Car
penter Of the University of Illinois
have recently succeeded in applying
astronomical methods to the solution
Of hitherto unsolved problem of biol
ogy. This relates to the height of the
flight of birds during their migrations
at night. Two telescopes were placed
at measured distances apart (from 10
to p feet), on an east and west line,
and with them two observers stimuli
taneously watched the moon. The
Of the moon were noted by each OBJ
server independently on a lunar chart,
ready at his side. The tracks, being
projected from separate points Of OBJ
servation, Of course were not identical
in position. and their distance apart
furnished the basis for q calculation
of the 'parallax" of the flying birds.
Two sets of observations were made. in
May and in October. The deduced
heights above the ground varied from
1.400 TO 5.400 feet. The last. however,
was an extreme case. most Of the meas
ures running from 1900 to $500 or
5000 feet.

One could live a lifetime here,

feel at last that acquaintance with the
city was just beginning, even though

surprises as a woman who has seen
much and suffered much, yet has never
lost her native faith in al things good.
If it is appropriate that the feminine
gender be used to designate any city, it
is most appropriate that it be applied
to Rome. Paris is feminine, Venice is
ladylike, but Rome is wOmanly. She
has the two good qualities Of religion
and motherhood, without which neither
city nor woman can be said to have
