scarlet, however, is groundless, and
scientific reasons are given why the
prevaJl1 - Tor is for all purposes the
mo- y that could be selected.
first plf &c, scarlet affords the
hr1katainable protection against the
efk\SSs Of heat and cold to which
sou b are liable to be exposed. The
daiS ~ the color protecting a warm
body the more rapidly radiation pro-
ceeds. White would be the best color
to reduce radiation 10 a minimum; but
white is barred by other considera-
tons, as are also all the gruys. Scar
let or red comes midway between
white and black or other dark colors,
while with reference to protection from
the sun scarlet takes far higher place
than any Of the blues, greens or drabs
and other shades often used for mill
tary clothing
Yellow or orange is excluded because
these colors are particularly conspicu-
Gus at q long distance. Although scar
let or red Is more conspicuous than
gray, when the sun shines directly on
the troops It blurs on the sight. and is
consequently more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result
Of a fight is usually decided at dis
lance Just outside the effective range
OF the weapons. This distance lies be-
tween 600 and 500 yards. Nearer than
that II is impossible TO close without
replying to the enemy's fire, and as
soon as the return fire whistles about
the defenders heads the possibility OF
aiming rapidly and accurately de-
creaSes.
Therefore. from this point of view, It
is unimportant whether the object 10
be hit is conspicuous or not, bat from
a moral point of view It is a serious
consideration. Within 200 yards each
subsequent advance is conditioned by
unexpectedly already achieved; the
defenders are shaken; the time for
counting heads is past, and the mental
impression conveyed by the sight OF
the assaulting troops becomes the main
point.
1t is a distinct advantage that our
men should bulk large in the decisive
stages OF an encounter and there is no
color which enables them to do this so
effectively as scarlet. On the whole,
therefore, every scientific considera-
ton justifies the retention OF scarlet a.
the best uniform for our troops.-Pear-

HUNTERS HIT BY THEIR GAME.
Instances where Sportsmen Have
Received Severe Blows from Birds.

Received Severe Blows from Birds.
Game killed in flight has a momen-
tum that carries II a long way some
times. The London Field relates sew
eral instances where the birds nave
hit the sportsman. In one case George
Monners was shooting in the WOODS OF
Long Island when a grouse, driven by
heaters, came flying along fast ana
high ND. He shot at it, and then, with
the other barrel fired at another bird
Just as he was about lowering his
gun. after the second shot, he received
a blow on the head that Knocked him
senseless. The grouse first hit mao
tumbled against his head.
That same afternoon a wheelman,
riding along near the line Of hunters,
admiring the scenery. did not observe
a big black cock till its feathers brush
ed his head. The black cock had
been killed and had nearly hit him In
falling.
The Radminton volume on shooting
tells how the late Charles Leslie was
knocked out at the battery by a grouse
he had shot. A strong hat probably
saved him from serious injury.
American hunters have had similar
experience. A man was riding along
in a wagon some time ago. according
TO Forest and Stream, when some
thing hit him on the head with enough
force to make him dizzy. An I'M
wounded partridge flying through the
woods had hit him fair. Why the bird
did not turn aside is as much a mys-
terry as the fact that partridges some
times fly against house sides and are
killed in so doing.
