ssDOubles'' in the Animal World.

THE most curious phase of animal
l. doubles" perhaps. and one that
seems to occur occasionally among
the higher forms of life. as well az
| among the lower. is rather psyche
logical than physiological and con-
| siSts in double "perSonality." which
to all appearances occupies the same
among the lower animals is the
chameleon. long famous for its power
| of changing color at will a power
which popular accounts have often
greatly exaggerated.
| 1t is certainly remarkable crea-
ture in many respects. nearly allied
to no other and forming genus
entirely by itself.
To all appearances and according
to the researches of scientists best
capable of forming an opinion on the
subject the nervous centerS in one
lateral half of this animal go on
independently of those in the other.
and it has two lateral centers of per-
ception. sensation and motion. be-
sides the common one. in which must
reside the faculty of concentration.
Notwithstanding the strictly SYM
| metrical structure of the chameleon
| as to its two halves, the eyes move
independently of each other and con-
vey separate impressions as to their
respective centers of perception. The
consequence is that when the animal
is agitated its movements resemble
those of two animals. or. rather. per-
haps, two halves of animals glued
together. Each half wishes to go
its own way and there is no con-
cordance of action. The chameleon,
therefore. is the only four-iegged
vertebrate that is unable to swim; it
becomes SO frightened when dropped
into water that all faculty of con-
centration is lost and the creature
tumbles about as if in a state of
intoxication.
When a chameleon is undisturbed
every impulse to motion is referred
to the proper tribunal and the whole
organism acts in accordance with its
DEGREES The eye. for example. that
receives thes strongest impression
propagates it to the common center,
which then prevails upon the other
eye to follow that impression and
direct it's gaze toward the same spot.
The chameleon. moreover. may be
fast asleep on one side and wide
awake on the other. Cautiously ap-
preached at night with a candle. so
as not to awaken the whole animal
at once. the eye turned toward the
light will open, begin to move, and
the corresponding side to change
color, whereas the other side will re-
main for longer or shorter time
in torpid. motionless and un-
changed state with its eye shut.
In another type of double animal
two individuals are born separately
and afterward become one, as is the
case with the marine parasite called
Diplozoon paradoxyum (paradoxical
double creature). 1t begins life as
two solitary and distinct individuals,

that they haven't a leg to stand on

There are always soft seats for them

Their complaint that the members of
their profession are often at the

worthy of serious consideration. AS

studios employ casting directors. who
are provided with the actors name,
address. height, weight. age and ex-

and his telephone number. Yet in
some cases the casting director has
stated that he has been ordered by
his firm to call the actor for an in

of course. he must pay commission.
