before Judge Herr this morning and
tried to make q complaint against Mrs.

ARREST TWO ON CHARGE
OF SENDING FALSE ALARMS,
Found Standing in Front OF
Open Fire.box.

John Soden, "a years old, of So Thomas
street, and John Kelly, "a years old, of
11O4 Broad street, charged in the First
Precinct Police Court today with send
ing false fire alarms, were paroled in
the custody of their counsel, former
Alderman Pennington, for further in
vestigation. Judge Hahn, before whom
the case was tried, declared that while
the circumstances under which the
men were arrested were not sufficient
to take complaint, he wished the
officers Of he precinct to make a
further investigation.
On information furnished Patroimen
Webber, Mcdonald and Early by DR..
Hugh Devlin, of Austin and Thomas
streets, and William A. McManus. a
prominent leather man living at 1859
Broad street. the patrolmen placed the
two men under arrest Kelly and So
den protested their Innocence, but
despite their pleadings they were locked
up at the First precinct police station.
DR.. Devlin and Mr.. McManus de-
clared they were passing along Broad
street and saw the men standing before
an open alarm box, but, although their
actions were suspicious, they did not
see the men pull the box
The fire companies received three
alarms from this section of the city in
quick succession last night. All three
were false. Another alarm came from
the entrance at the Paramount
Cemetery a short time after the men
were arrested. For this reason 1t WAS
thought by the fire department mat
there may have been someone else
pulling the boxes. 1t was also dis
covered that at least half an hour
elapsed between the sending OF the
second and third alarm.

TRYING TO REFORM NATURE
Plan to Produce . stIngiess Bee oIves Rlse to Many Other Desirable
 Propooed Changes.

The proposal to rob the bee of It's sting Is revived by a professor in one of our universities. It may be a good thing for beekeeper, though they do not appear to be clamorins overhard for the reform, but what about the bee itself? That it needed a sting to establish itself in business, 50 to speak, Is beyond question. 9th erwase nature would not have taken the trouble of providing it with one.
 The interest of the plan for the non-apiarian lover of animal nature lies rather in the possibilities 1t sug- gests in other directions. A non- growing rooster would be boon to tho suburbanite and the summer va- ostioner, especially since M. Rostand has demonstrated that the sun would rise none the less. Non-chirping matutinal birds are also much to be desired, and screechless night owls. Barkless seals would be a boon to visitors to the ZOO with tender ear drums; but, speaking of barks, the varieties of dogs that least indulge in that method of relieving their emotions are prone to bite. Indeed, 6 biteless dog is more to be desired than a barkless one. Miauling cats readily respond to treatment with projectiles, and need not detain us. They have troubles of their own, anyhow. just now, chiefly connected with their hospitality to microbes. A brayless donkey can be improvised on the moment by tying weight to it's tail.-New York Tribune.

IS QUEEREST OF ANIMALS
Changing Color, Contrary to Pop ular Belief, Are Limited.

It is popularly supposed that the chameleon possesses the power of as- suming all the coors of the rain- bow, but, as matter of fact, its capabilities in that line are restrict ed, inasmuch as certain colors are quite beyond its attainment.
 The chameleon can, however, pass through a series of yellows, grays, greens and browns until it reaches a color almost black; and, unlike the leopard. the chameleon can and does change its spots. The chief causes of these rapid changes are anger, ex- citement, fear, heat and cold.
 In the full blaze of the summer sun the chameleon takes on black ish hue. with pale, pinkish-yellow spots and a central stripe.
 The chameleon presents, perhaps, the quaintest physical features in all animaldom, for he resembles nothing SO much as one of the mediaeval gargoyles, such as adorn the tower of Notre Dame. His toes, in their arrangement of three on one side and two of the other of each hand and foot, are most suggestive of a birds as Is also the manner in which they grasp the bough upon which the little fellow is resting or climbing. The expression of sardonic humor that seems to play about the mouth of the chameleon is curiously height ened by the weird effects of the in- dependently moving eyes.
