CHAMELEON ATTRACTS
ATTENTION OF MANY

A chameleon, a 1izard-like animal
Of the insect eating species which
suddenly changes color, is attracting
wide attention in the display window
of the store occupied by H. E. Pick
ersgill and the Perth Amboy Tire
Company at A Smith street. Ami
mails of this kind are a curiosity to
the average person, but this one has
especial peculiarities in that it has
lived twice as long as they generally
do and does not disappear from the
store. 1t is not kept a prisoner, but
is allowed to go where it chooses.
It's home, however, is in the display
window where the sun can shine
upon it. 1t disappears for a few days
at a time, but returns to catch flies
and drink water in the window.
The chameleon was purchased by
S. w. Barlow of the Perth Amboy
Tire Company during the Elks. CON
yention in Atlantic City on August
Since then pieces of it's one-time long
tail decayed and dropped Off so that
it Is but five inches long today. 1t
has a naked body and foul feet with
long claws capable Of grasp1ng
branches Of trees, etc. The animal
is tabled to live on air. 1t Is espee-
tally noted for It's sudden changes
of color.
When a NEWS representative saw
it this morning 1t was a light brown
color. While he was looking at it 1t
suddenly turned to a bright green.
Later it changed to a dull red while
it's eyes remained green. 1t Is claim
ed the animal turns to all colors OF
the rainbow at times.
