The Fighting Editor.

The fighting editor is no joke in
Paris. There, II n paper calls man a
liar or thief. the man takes It Sc
riously, and. visiting the office, he de-
mands n retraction or fight. 1t is
the fighting editor who receives him.
The fighting editor sits In Louis
Seize study, smoking cigarette and
reading new novel with a yellow
cover. He is faultlessly dressed In
deep black--the duclist's color. The
ribbon of the Legion of Honor IL in
his buttonhole. His brilliant eyes and
clear skin proclaim his perfect condi-
tion. HIS alert. supple carriage shows
his military training. The fighting
editor never writes line, but is RE-
sponsible personally for every word
In the paper every day. On a plain,
outspoken sheet like lie Matin, which
keeps him pretty busy. his salary Is
very large-$4O week or so. A con-
servative journal like lie Temps, hav-
Ing little use for lighting editor. pays
the man no more than $20.-Exchange.

Boar Hunting In Brittany.

Boar hunting IN Brittany Is full Of
exciting Incidents and the boars sell
dom die unavenged. for, though they
are beset by mounted hunters and
peasantry on foot armed with guns.
the lifebIood of many hound is
drawn before the savage old tusker
yields up his life His dangerous pow
ers OF offense cease only with his last
gasp. Though the grip of the bulldog,
the yelping Of the hounds, the din OF
horns and the cries Of the benters may
force him from his lair to seek refuge
in flight, that withdrawal may be set
down rather to prudence and disgust
than to any fear. When at last he
is brought TO bay, with his back
against rock or tree trunk, he Is
ready to defy host. Met in narrow
alley Of the forest, neither man nor
horse can Withstand the avalanche Of
his onset. Not infrequently the hunter
who loves his hounds will feel but
little triumph even In the death OF
many boars II, having begun the sea
son with a large pack, he ends It with
n miserable remnant, having left all
his best and bravest dogs on the field
Of battle.

THE CHANEL EoN.
This Curious Animal 10 Like Two Halt
Creatures Joined.

This Curious Animal 10 Like Two Halt
Crestures Joined.
The chameleon n not allied closely
10 any other animal. II stands as q
genus by itself. The nervous centers
In one lateral half operate indepeps.
emily Of those IN the other. rhis
seems outrageous, and It is, bat II is
true. The chameleon has two lateral
centers of perceptlon-of sensation aud
OF motion. There exists also third
center-that common one In which
abides the power of concentration by
means OF which the two sides Of the
creature may be forced to work In
harmony with each other. But this
center Of concentration does not al
ways dominate the situation. Not
wlthstanding the strictly symmetrical
structure of the animals two halves,
the eyes move quite independently.
and they convey distinct and separate
impressions to their respective centers
of perception. AS Of the eyes, SO of
the other members-ench reports to
and is controlled by its own center.
The result is that when the faculty
of concentration becomes disturbed
everything is jumbled. Let the chame.
leon be much agitated and Its move
ments grow errutic. They are those
of two creatures fastened together. or,
rather. OF two half creatures Joined.
Each half exhibits its intention of go-
ing its separate way. The result Is u
pitiable confusion of movement. There
is no concordance of action. A curl.
Gus example OF the chameleon's help
lessness when unduly excited is found
IN the fact that II cannot swim. The
shock of being plunged into water up.
sets the poise of its faculty for concen.
tratlon. Forthwith each side strikes
out wildly for itself, 10 its own undo
Ing. The chameleon u the only four
legged vertebrate that cannot swim.
When the creature is calm every im-
pulse to motion is referred to the COM
mon center Of concentration, aud the
entire organism acts In fitting accord
with the commands issued by that fac-
ulty. Thus, while totally different Inn
pressions from the two eyes are trans
mitted from their centers TO the com.
mon one, that concentrating power de-
cides as to which scene is the more
important and then directs the eye
otherwise engaged also to regard II.
The same principle applies in the con.
troll of all the members-so long as the
animal remains unexcited. Any OBJ
server may easily verify the existence
Of this dual nature in superficial way
by some experiments with a sleeping
chameleon. A touch on one side OF
the animal will wake that side up.
while the other side sleeps calmly on.
