QUEER LITTLE ANIMALS AND THEIR INTEREST- ING WATS—PRETIY CHAMELEONS—"OW THET ARE KEPT—THE BOA CONSTRICTORS AND TEE MONKETS—A PECULIAR Fist. The pet animals gave = ball last night at the bird fancier's and it was the most remarkable of itekind ever given. The music was for- nished by the mocking birds and canaries, with an cocasional note from the parrots and para- keets. The prize for the best waltzers, strange to say, went'to a quartet of Japanese waltzing mice, and whenever they took the floor every- thing else stopped and gazed on in wonder- ment. They are tiny little fellows, black and white, with long pink tailsand shiny black eres. As waltzors they are a great success, and like the society belie of today they never get tired. Some of the movements are ludicrous in the extreme, and when one little fellow whizzed around on his left ear the monkeys ran away screeching. “These mice,” eaid the bird fancier in answer toa query from » Star reporter, “come all the way from Japan and are without doubt the most interesting pets we have. As you see they are constantly moving, but why it i# Iam ata loss to understand. They are quite expen- sive, costing €5.00 each, and I know of no others at present in this country. They are easy to tame and not much care is required to keep them alive. They seem to be especially fond of the ladies and when taken up in their hands will waltz if they whistle to them. PRETTY LITTLE CUAMELEONS. “Have you seen the latest fad?" asked the man of pets, opening a large cage surronnded by small wire mesh. “They are the chame- Jeons. Notice how this little fellow will change his color.” and he took a small lizard-like ani- mal from the cage. ‘The littie fellow, when the reporter Hirst looked at him, was a light brown andaimost immediately arapid change took place and he turned a most beautiful green. ‘The i had the appearance of a rough grained leather. ‘The back is sharp, the tail long, round and prehensile.
