THE HERoN.s Tricks.
Mimetio Powers That Make IL Hard TO
Distinguish from the Rush.

btbbbBubh hroth hhe hAsHs
Nature seems to have provided some
animals with wonderful mimetic adap-
.tations to protect them from their ene-
mics. Mr.. Hudson cites an example of
this. He had fred at South American
heron which was stealing through some
rushes, but on coming to the place
could see nothing of the bird. He was
on the point Of turning away when o
strange sight met his eye. This is how
he describes the scene: -:-*
There stood my heron on a reed no
more than eight inches from my knees
and on level with them. The body
was erect and the point OF the tail
touched the reed grasped by his feet;
the long, tapering neck was held stiff,
straight and vertical, and the head and
beak, insteadof being carried obliquely,
were also pointing up. From his feet
to the tip Of his beak there was not a
perceptible curve or inequality; but the
whole was the figure--the exact coun-
terpart--of straight, tapering rush,
the loose plumage being arranged to
fill all inequalities.
The wings, pressed into the hollow
sides, made it impossible to see where
the body ended and the neck began, or
to distinguish head from neck, or beak
from head. This was a front view, and
the entire under surface of the bird
was thus displayed, all of uniform
dull yellow. Not a movement did the
bird make. / placed my hand on the
point of his beak and forced the head
down till ii touched the back.
When / withdrew my hand up few
the head, like steel spring, to its first
position. / repeated the experiment
several times with the same result, the
very eyes of the bird appearing all the
time perfectly immovable.
But how CHANGED it that while walk.
ing round the bird through the rushes
l had not seen his striped back and
broad-colored sides? Thinking thus,
stepped round to get side view, when
all could see was the rush-like front
! Of the bird. His motions on the perch
as he turned slowly or quickly round
still keeping the edge Of the blade-like
body before me, correspondent so exact
ly with my own that l almost doubted
II had moved at all.
After watching the bird thus fol
some time, / took him forcibly from the
rush and perched him on my hand
when he flew away to some dry gras'
fifty or sixty yards distant. Here h
again practiced his mimetic tricks St
ably that CROPPED about for quarteI
of an hour before finding him. wa
amazed that a creature apparently 81
