the regiment OF which Company X was

months, MIR. Browning has come back
pretty thoroughly disgusted with SOL
diering as a volunteer. In telling of
his experiences and Of what he saw of
the Hawaiian Islands last evening, Mr..
Browning said:
"When we left the boys were all
pretty well satisfied. for we expected
to see action or at least get to go to
the Philippines. but we were pretty
well Disguised when we found we were
to be s~idetracked at hawaii and the
boys are all now very much discon-
tented and would like to get out of the
service. You see most of them gave
up good Jobs, and II was not for the
sake Of helping to garrison any post as
private soldiers.
sour experience on h voyage to
Honolulu was something frightful.
There were 325 men cooped up between
decks on a 150-foot ve~-~' where there
was no ventilation and grub as poor as
II could be. Then II was some time be-
fore rations got to coming regularly.
so our experience was pretty tough for
a while. II was all due to incompetent
ofhcers. We went into camp at Camp
Mckinley. which il located at the base
of Diamond Head, an extinct volcano.
and a very good camp site. We had
nothing to do but drill. and life got
awfully monotonous. but we were glad
OF one thing. the health Of the Mon
tana men was exceptionally good.
While i was there. the whole coast OF
the island of Hawaii was surveyed for
a site for a permanent garrison, and I
believe the site of Camp Mckinley has
been selected"

Upon a green twig the little creature

the mysterious blush of green was
deepening and stealing over Its back
and sides. making the resemblance still
more striking.
The natural assumption Of one who
had given the subject nc special at

glanced around and. perceiving that II
was presenting q contrast not favorable
to its personal safety. has assumed a
color more protective. In other words,
that there was some intelligent act as

little creature was blindfolded II as
sumed the same tint as at night. and
did not change when placed upon the

eye was the involuntary medium by
which the different tints were obtained.
The act OF adaptation Is perfectly In
