negotiations between Guatemala and Sal

State Bacon at Sagamorc Hill. The
question not yet settled IS whether Hon
duras will become party to the negotia-

that it would be hardly fair to Guatemala
to face two former foes in q peace con
ference at one time Honduras will
probably agree to the settlement ar
ranged by the two states primarily in
volved.
The negotiations, it j. stated, will
doubtless be held on board the American
cruiser Marblehead, now in Guatemulan
waters The arbitrator on behalf of
the United States and Mcyico will be

Half of Chameleon May he Wide

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 90 on independently of
those on the other, and it has two lat
eral centers of Experimentation
and motiQu-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
together. Each half wishes to 30 its
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 water that 2ll faculty of
concentration Is lost and the creature
tumbes about as if in state of intoX-
ication.

the proper tribunal and the whole or
