WAITED FOR DAWN.

One of the most interesting of
the discoveries of science is the se
cret of the meanB whereby certain
animals change color. The most
familiar and celebrated example in
thia line is the lizard called the
chameleon, but there are many
other creatures both on land and in
the sea that possess a similar power.
Noteworthy among them is the
common squid. If a specimen of
thia interesting kind of mollusk,
fresh out of water, be laid on a ta
ble and watched, its hues will change
so constantly that* literal waves of
color seem to be passing over it
from moment to moment. That
thia happens in response to impulses
conveyed through the nervous sys
tem of the animal is manifest, a
mere tapping with a finger on the
table causing a rush of the color
waves described.
The secret tiee in the fact that
immediately beneath the skin of
the squid is a sort of network of
small channels, in which are fre
quent larger spaces occupied by pig
ment cells. These cells are under
direct control of the nervous sys
tem, which causes them to contract
or expand. When they contract the
color disappears, which is what
happens when the squid dies, for
