100 CHILDREN
AT HOME

An even 100 children are dOmicil-
ed at the State Orphans home today.
Five came in from TOnopah yester-
day and two from Dayton and Joe
Josephs and Mrs. JOsephs have their
hands full.
1t is probable that no orphans
home in the country can show the
record Nevada's institution has. Not
a child has died at the home since it
was established 40 years ago this
summer. There are now 2S children
in the home who are less than four
years of age.
When these children appear on the
streets of this city they present a
most pleasing sight. They are al
ways clean, healthy looking and none
wears that eart-breaking look of
loneliness that makes an orphans
home place of horror to those who
love children. AS matter of fact
the 100 children in the home, com
pared with 100 children who live at
home in this city, Outshine them
about two to one. And this is as il
SHOULD be.

THE CHAMELEON.
This Curious Animal is Like Two Half
Creatures Joined.

This Curious Animal Is Like Two Half
Creatures Joined.
The chameleon is not allied closely
to any other animal. 1t stands as a
genus by ITSELF The nervous centers
in one lateral half operate independ-
emily Of those In the other. This
seems outrageous, and it is, but it is
true. The chameleon has two lateral
centers Of perception-of sensation and
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
withstanding 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 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 cratic 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
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 it cannot swim. The
shock of being plunged into water up
sets the poise of its faculty for concen-
tration. Forthwith each side strikes
out wildly for itself, to its own undo
ing. The chameleon is the only four
legged vertebrate that cannot swim.
When the creature is calm every i'm
pulse to motion is referred to the COM
mon, center Of concentration, and the
entire organism acts in. fitting accord
with the commands issued by that fac
ulty. Thus, while totally different i'm
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 it.
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 a 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.

FLINT AND FINDER.
Making Fire In the Days Before We
Had Matches.

Making Fire In. the Days Before We
Had Matches.
A friend Of mine of just my age used
to laugh about his own boyhood and
tell the story Of his mother shaking
him in bed and bidding him put on his
boots when he dressed and his over
coat and wade through the snow to
the next neighbours to get pan of hot
Goals with which to make the fire.. I
suppose Joe's mother had lost her
flint. We kept our flint and what was
called "the STEEP in round tin box
such as would hold a quart of straw
berries now,1 and it was on the man
telpiece in the kitchen. It was half
full Of finder. Half the boys and girls
Of today do not know what finder is
or was.
Now, whoever was in the kitchen in
the morning and found that the last
hot coal of the wood fire had gone out
took down the finder box and struck
the steel with the flint smartly and Of
ten until a redhot spark fell on the
finder; then very carefully she blew
with her breath on any fakes of the
finder which had lighted until she had
quite a little cove Of lighted tinder
Then she took what we called brim-
stone match and put that very care
fully in the little hot hole. If all
things worked well. the birthstone
lighted and the wood of the match
lighted, and she lighted the candle,
which made part of the finder box.
. Oh. dear! There were thousands Of
finder boxes in little Boston the day I
was born, and few years ago tried
to buy one as a curiosity, and I could
not find one in any of the junkshops.
In those days old women would stop
at the door and ask you to buy some
bundles Of matches. They had made
these themselves of pine wood four
inches long, which they had dipped in
hot birthstone at both ends. And those
were the only matches that anybody
ever heard of.-Woman's Home Com
panion.

A NEW YORK FUNERAL.
Death and Burial Of a Man Of Whom
No One Knew Much.

dying made easy is good mot
to for New York." said a business
man to shis friend who is a visitor
from the middle west. ~The other
night when I got home I saw an
undertaker's wagon standing at the
entrance. Cheerful sort of thing
|. to see after you have been out to
the play and a supper with your
friends.
con the way up to my fiat I came
across the undertaker's men carry
ing upstairs the body of man. The
undertaken explained that the
corpse was that Of an elderly man
who had died that night at hos
pital and who had lived with the
people in the apartment below
mine. His friends had employed
the undertaken to take charge of
the body and arrange for the burial.
ssThe next day as / was going out
/ met the undertaken. l thought it
was the decent thing for me to
show respect for the dead, particu-
larly in view of the statement Of
the undertaken that the dead man
had no friends in the city. The
people. with whom he lived were
acquaintance only.
81 followed the undertaken to the
room. Only few persons were
present. The undertaken took a
prayer book from his pocket and
read the Episcopal burial service.
"After that the undertaker's en-
ployees carried the coffin downstairs
and placed it in hearse. He and
his men stepped into the carriage.
The cortege moved down the street.
| learned later that the body was
shipped to the former home of the
deceased.
"The head of the apartment

to me:
"SWe didn't know much about
him. He. was quiet in his coming
and going. When he was taken
sick he asked to be sent to a hos
pital. 1t was done.
1.-THE day before he died he sent
a request to have any service that
might be held in case of his death
at the apartment where he had
lived. That was all right.

ents. When I spoke to an under

Joking With Handel.

A musical Joke Of stupendous ma
ture was played upon Handel when he
was the manager of the kings theater
in the Haymarket. says the London
Telegraph. 1t was constant maxim
of the great composer, whose sensitive
ear abominated the tunings up Of an
orchestra, that all the instruments
should be placed ready tuned at the
music stands and that the members &C
the orchestra should enter like troop
Of soldiers. take up their instruments
like one man and at the stroke Of the
baton begin. One evening practical
joker contrived to have Handel en-
gagged in conversation for some min,
utes behind the scenes while he HIM
self entered the orchestra and quietly
altered the tunings Of all the instru-
ments. Nobody was bit the wiser till
the baton was raised. and then the
crash came-a crash of utter and su-
preme discord! Handel was exasper-
ated to frenzy. 1t is on record that he
seized his wig and flung it at the lead.
