A most remarkable creature is the chameleon. To all appearances the mervous centers in one lateral half of | this antmal work independently of | those in the other, and it has two later- | al of percept tion and: motion--besides the common one in| which must reside the faculty of con-| cemtration. The eyes move independ- | ently of one another and convey sepa- | rate impressions to thelr respective centers of perception. The consequence is that when the animal is agitated its | movements resemble those of two ani- | mals or rather perhaps two halves of | animals glued together. Each half wishes to go its own way, and there ia no concordance of action. . &herefore the chameleon is the only four legged vertebrate that is unable to swim. It becomes so frightened avhen dropped into water that all facul- ty of concentration is lost and the crea- ture tumbles about as if In a sta When a chameleon is U1 to' motion 'whole 'with its decrees. The eye, for example, that receives the strongest impression propagates it to the common center, which then prevails upon the other eye to follow that impression and direct its gaze toward the same object. Aforeover, the chameleon may be fast asleep on oue side and wide awake on | the other. Cautiously approached at night with a candle so as not to awak- | en the whole anlinal at once, the eye turned toward the light will open, be- | gin to move and the corresponding side | to change color. The other side will re- main for a longer or shorter time in a torpid, motionless and unchanged state | with its eye fast shut. Cerberus' Three Heads. The most famous of dogs is Cerbe- rus, who* watches the entrance to Tar- tarus. He has three beads, but Her- cules dragged him to earth and Or pheus put him to sleep with his lyre. | The original dog cakes were given to | Cerberus by the sibyl who led Alneas through-bell. They were made of flour and seasoned with poppies and honey. He must have been an opium fiend, as | the celestial drug is made from pop- | ples. A "sop to Cerberus" was one of _ these cakes given to the monster by | Greeks and Romans as a bribe to let | them in without molestation. iriure ~~ Reflected Glory.

"FIONA MACLEOD." Death Released the Secret of William Sharp, the Author. | The announcement has been made upon behalf of Mrs. Sharp, the widow of Willlam Sharp, news of whose death fn Sicily was received at London re- cently, that her husband was the au- thor of all the works of prose and poetry given out during past years as written by "Fiona MacLeod." The an- t causes no ish t in literary London, for it necessarily was known to & number of persons and guessed at by many, and more than once suggested in the public prints. In the outset Mr. Sharp assumed the pseu- donym of Miss Fiona MacLeod because | he was not convinced that the public | would recelve kindly certaln writings he wished to publish. To be associated with them he fan- cled might discredit his known works, and injure his reputation. Later it is said he found it pecynlarily profitable | to preserve the pseudonym, because the constant questioning in the public | mind as to the identity of "Fiona Mac- TLweod" and frequent suggestion that he and were one and the pefson tended to make a for his acknowledged works and those he was suspected of writing. The actual statement as to the iden- tity of "Flona MacLeod' wis made upon behalf of Mrs, Sharp by her hus- band's friend, Mr. Richard Whiting. London Loses Famous Host, Liéndon soclety has lost a great en- tertainer and the turf a notable sup- | porter in the death of Lord Iichester, | at the age of 58. Tichester played a prominent part in- London soclety life for many years. | Possession of Holland House, with its crowd of famous memories, almost would compel the owner to entertain, but he almost may be said to have liv- ed up to the best past of the most interesting historical house in London A new ballroom was added by Lord II- chester, at a cost of some $150,000. A masked ball was given In it some years ago, and the numerous garden parties, for which invitations were so ocagerly sought every season, are quite | worthy the eighteenth century fame of | Holland House. Lord Ilichester lived, | however, much in the twentieth cen- | tury, and automobiles and telephones were to be found in his house. | The most interesting of his seats | was, perhaps, Abbottsbury Castle, near Dorchester, with its wonderful sub- tropical garden, on the windswept Dorchester crast. A swannery and de- coy ducks here were the favorite hob- bles of Lord Iichester. Tame ducks kept Inthe pond soon were joined by wild ducks In search of food. The former then led their visitors into a, series of carefully constructed tunnels. | ¥i%e hundred wild ducks have been se- cured in two days at Abbottsbury. A Yankee Outdone. A Yankee passenger in a train the other day Was wearying his fellow- | travelers with his "tall" stories, and' remarked: "We can start with a 12- storey "hotel one month and have it finished the next!" This was too much for a burly Yorkshireman, who sat next to high. "Man, that's nowt" he replied.

If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calam- ity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties. Thirty years ago the proprietors of Scott's Emul- gion found a way of preparing cod liver oil so that everyone can take it and get the full value of the oil without the objectionable taste. Scott's Emulsion is the best thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and all conditions of wasting and lost strength. Send for free sample.

It is interesting to note that as early as 1781 the Intendant Hocquart took steps to collect and preserve the re- cords of the colony up to that time, and Lord Dorchester took similar action in 1787. The collections made at those times are now under the care of Mr. Doughty. It is not creditable to us that no other efforts were made to fur- ther this Important work for almost a hundred years after Lord Dorchester's time. Indeed, it is sald on the best authority that cartloads of public docu- ments have been taken out of the cel- lars of the departmental buildings at Ottawa to be driven to the ash-heap, and this, too, when it was known that Dr., Brymner, the Archivist, would have gladly given the papers shelter at least.

A document of particular in- terest is the letter of Father Ignace in reference to the condition of the Ro- man Catholic population of AS®adia, and the menace which a neighboring settlement of English heretics at Grand Bay offers to the people of the true faith. If it were a settlement of wolves or troglodytes the good man could not be in greater trepidation. A summary of the documen(® made in Paris by the late Mr. Edouard Richard, chiefly orders of the French King and .de- spatches, may well be called instruc- tive, for even in those laconic sum- maries the reason of the fallure of French colonization is easily gleaned In one order the inhabitants are for- bidden to plant vines, hemp, or flax, and similar vexstious regulations of the sumptuary or foolishly restrictive kind are as common as leaves in Val- lambrosa. FIGHT WITH A WHALE. Steamer Orion Has An Exciting Ex- perience With a Humpback. To those inured to the dangers of whale-hunting there is nothing more exciting than an encounter with a humpback, when he shows fight. Though considerably smaller and inci- dentally of less value than the sulphur bottom, yet he Is the gamest leviathan of the two,-and when wounded it is dangerous for men or craft to be at too close range, says a Victorta, B. C., de- spatch. To landsmen there is great ex- citement connected with every whale hunt, but at times the work of killing is done so expeditioudiy and swiftiy that only In the size of the animal cap- tured is there any special interest mani- fested. But in the case of the steam whaler Orion, now operating out of this port, where the onslaught on whales is almost continuous, there are always instances where the judgment of those engaged in the pursuit is put to a se- vere test. An experience of the kind was successfully passed through a few days ago off the west coast of Van- couver Island. x The Orion was out on one of her ily when a back NS SIISKS £.2¢ iH £8 SEIGICHIBS Hi 3 the lawbreake: n hard he tried or how good tions might be." a i Cowles insisted thatjhis 'was right, and he expressed the belief that there were then more pickpockets in Cléveland than had ever béfore infest- ed that city.

No one but a jay could ever be robbed in that way." "You don't know," said Cowles, "how skillful some of these light fingered fel- lows become. It would be possible for one of them to go through your pockets while talking to you as kam now." Hanna laughed derisively and said any pickpocket that ever got a hand in his clothes without being caught at it was welcome to anything he could extract. + As they were parting Cowles turned to ask what time it was, and Hamma felt for his watch. It was gone. "That's strange," he gaid. "I guess I must have forgotten when I dressed this morning to put it in my pocket." "Speaking of . forgefting things" Cowles answered, "I forgot my wallet when I left home, Could you lend me $107" Hanna felt for his mgney, bat found none. He put his hands Into one empty pocket after another and was begin- ning to look sheepishi when Cowles handed him back his watch, his money, his keys and a bundlejof letters.
