ODD THINGS ABOUT ANIMALS
Deceptive Appearance Of Some Serves
as a Means Of Protection
Against Enemies.

Few Of US, | think. realize how many
wild creatures there are which live like
the famous Snowman. p. T Barnum, did,
by "fooling the public" There are mill
lions of creatures whose very existence
depends upon their appearing to be
something which. they are not. This de-
ceptive appearance. says Woman's Home
Companion. is called rmimicry. and the
creatures which profit by it are said to
mimic" those things which they re-
semble. Generally speading. mimicry
is of two kinds-"a aggressive" and pro
tective" 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
mimicking the snow. their resemblance
to which gives them a chance to ap-
proach their prey unseen; but in order
that they may not have an undue ad-
vantage over the defenseless creatures
which they use for food. We find the arc
tic hare and other small animals also
mimicking the snow. in order that they
may sometimes escape the sharp eyes
of their enemies. Further south, how
ever, you will notice tiat white wild ami
mails are very uncommon: they would
be so conspicuous that they would
be unable either to approach their prey
or avoid their enemies. So. instead.
