by an interesting series Of experiments Sir
John Lubbock showed that blue is to bees most at
tractve color lie placed pieces OF paper Of daerep,
colors In equally favorable positions and upon every
piece fastened bit Of sugar BY patient watching hs
discovered that the bees most frequently visited the
blue ground, and his investigation was sufficiently pro-
ohged to forbid the suggestion OF chance Follow
Tug similar line Of inquiry Mr. A. Anthony Nesbit an
analytical chemist, has discovered that blus is the
heahiest color for fish (at least for carp and
presumably their favorite color VS. already known
that fish change in shade when the Of the bottom
OF the water In which they live Is changed becoming
darker when the bottom is darker and lighter when the
bottom is lighter. For the pur ,ose OF ascertanine
whether this alteration is due only the quantity Of
light whether actinc rays aud the color the light
have also an influence in produ ing the change, Mr.
Nesbit began OF experiments which have ex.
tended over several months His carp were placei In
globes covered externally with cOored yarnsh the tops
being covered with large covers similarly col.
Ored TO the globes air being freely admitted by the In.
