Queer Things About Animals.

Few of us, I think, realize how
many wild creatures there are which
live, like the famous Snowman, P.
I. Barnum, did, by "fooling the pub
lic." There are millions of creatures
whose very existence depends upon
their appearing to be something
which they are not. This deceptive
appearance is called "mimicry," and
the creatures which profit by it are
said to mimic" those things which
they resemble. Generally speaking,
mimicry is of two kinds-"aggres-
sive" and protective" In the Far
North, where the ground is almost
perpetually covered with snow, and
where a dark object may be seen for
miles, we find the polar bear, the
snowy owl and other creatures MINI
licking the snow, their resemblance
to which gives them a chance to ap-
proach their prey unseen; but In or
der that they may not have an undue
advantage over the defenseless crea-
lures which they use for food, we
find the Arctic hare and other small
animals also mimicking the snow,
in order that they may sometimes
escape the sharp eyes of their enc
mics. Further south, however, you
will notice that white wild animals
are very uncommon; they would be
so conspicuous hat they would be
unable either to approach their prey
or avoid their enemies. So instead,
some of them mimic the sand and
pebbles of the beach, the brown
leaves of the woods and the moss
covered rocks and tree-trunks.-June
