CURIOsITIES OF THE CHAMELEON

There is no concordance of action A
curious example of the chameleon's 5
helplessness when unduly excited IS
found in the fact that 1t cannot swim.
The shock of being plunged into water
upsets the poise OF its faculty for con-
centration. Forthwith each side strikes
out wildly for itself, to it's own un-
doing. The chameleon IS the only four
legged vertebrate that cannot swim
When the creature is calm, every
impulse to motion is referred to the
common center of concentration, and
the entire organism acts in fitting ac-
cord with the commands issued by that
faculty. Thus, while totally different
impressions 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 1t.
The same principles applies in the con-
troll of all the members-so long as
the animal remains unexcited- Any
observer may easily verify the exist
ence of this dual nature in a super
fetal way by some experiments with
a sleeping chameleon A touch on one
side of the animal WIZ wake that side
up. while the other side sleeps
calmly on.

THE PEARL OYSTER

The picture here is of the pearl oys-
ter. All oysters are pearl makers. but
this species from the island of Ceylon
is peculiarly rich in pearl formation.
l wish l could show you how wonder
fully beautiful this shell is. Outside
it is a golden pearl and in the sunshine
it is rich and showy. Inside il is lined
with mother of pearl of most exquisite
hues- Few of all the beautiful shells
are more admired than the pearl oyster.
This one is about six inches across
and has been reduced in size about an
inch all around, as part OF the she'll
will not polish
The natives of Ceylon are many of
them engaged in the pearl fishery. The
big oysters are down deep in the ocean.
and divers go down and bring them to
the surface. They are thrown on the
shore and lie there for three or four
days in the tropical sun of ceylon and
then they are thrown into tubs OF
water and the pearls drop out
You will understand that not. every
oyster the divers bring up has a pearI
in It, but large percentage do have,
and many very fine and beautiful ones
are found which bring enormous prices
and find their way into all the Jewel
markets of the world.

T TAD the poet Tennyson known the
~ wonderful things about Indian
| corn one might suppose he
found stalk of corn growing
In the Granny in the wall
The Indians regarded the corn as a
direct gift from the great spirit, and
Longfellow and other writer's refer to
their veneration for the corn plant.
Listen TO this from Hiawatha:
"All around the happy village
STOOD the maize fields green and shin
ing,
Waved the green plumes OF Mondamin.
Waved his soft and sunny tresses.
Filing all the land with plenty.
Twas the women who in springtime
Planted the broad fields and fruitful.
Buried in the earth Mondamin:
Iwas the women who in autumn
stripped the yellow husks of harvest
stripped the garments from Mondamin.
Even as Hiawatha taught them.
Once when all the maize was planted
Hlawatha, wise and thoughtful,
Spoke and said to Minnehaha,
TO his wife, the Laughing Water:
You shall bless tonight the cornheIds.
Draw the magic circle round them,
10 protect them from destruction,
Blast of miIdew, blight or insect"
Look at the pictures given here of
the corn. The stalk, straight and up
right, covered with blades from near
the ground to where the tassel sets on
the stalk. The tassel is it's crown, the
spikes reaching out in every direction
and covered with little flowers, from
which when they are fully developed
there fall showers of golden pollen.
II you could see the array of roots a
row of corn presents you would he
surprised. / once spent more than a
day digging out a hill of corn to see
bow long the roots were. The ground
was removed for three feet on every
side and to the depth of four feet.

foot of the stalk with an umhrellalike
system of braces.
The husk of the corn is as full Of
wonder as the other parts l have de-
scribed. Nature wraps up the baby
ear of corn as carefully as a mother
could her infant at night. one layer
over the other, the outer ones coarser
and thicker and the finer layers next
TO the ear. The one directly above
the silks and grains is almost as fine
and soft as tissue paper.
Then the cob, the woody structure
on which is arranged the grains and
rows. 1t would take an architect to
build a cob. 1 am sorry 1 can not
show you one in cross section to show
how definite are its lines of structure.
If the corn plant is an interesting
study the uses of the corn are equally
So Besides the common use of corn
for bread and feed there are more
than 100 by-products- If we had
no other grain than corn, with our
modern processes we could go long
way toward maintaining human life
and maintaining it well on corn alone.

nOPULAR information as regards the
| chameleon is limited to the knowl-
edge that this is a lizard like crea-
ture with remarkable propensity for
assuming different colors. This is GER
tainly correct as far as it goes, but an
equally extraordinary attribute of the
chameleon is frequently overlooked. 1t
is to be found in the creatures dual
intelligence. The chameleon is not al
lied closely to any other animal; it
stands as a genus by itself. The nerv-
Gus centers in one lateral half operate
Independently of those in the other
This seems outrageous, and 1t is; but
it Is true. The chameleon has two
lateral centers of pereeption-of SEN
sation and of motion. There exists also
a third center-that common one in
which abides the power of concentra-
tion 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 always
dominate the situation. Notwithstand-
ing the strictly symmetrical structure
of the animals two halves, the eyes
Weve quite independently. and they
Convey distinct and separate impress
sions TO their respective centers of
perception. As of the eyes. so of the
other members--each reports to and is
controlled by it's own center.
The result is that when the faculty
of concentration becomes disturbed
everything is jumbled. Let the chame-
leon be much agitated. and it's move
ments grow erratie; they are those of
two creatures fastened together. or
rather of two half creatures Joined.
Each half exhibits it's intention of
going its separate way. The result is
a pitiable confusion OF movement.

There Is another very interesting
thing about the cornstalk After it
has matured the blades and the tassel
and the ear nature seems to have had
an afterthought and came back. She
looked upon the stalks of corn loaded
with golden harvest of ears and re-
nected that the autumn winds and
rains would be falling, perhaps before
the ears would be gathered, and seeing
danger said: II know how to save this
crop; will brace each saik against
