Mr.. Thomas Blackwell who has q

to the State game warden, asking
what can be done about the matter,
the law not allowing beavers to be

NIT could be granted for 81 to kill
ten or twelve beavers, provided they

ANIMAL COLOR SCHEMES.
Abbott Thayer Uphofds the Theory
of Standardization.

Abbott Thayer Uphofds the Theory
of Self-Protection.
The arguments of Darwin and some
of his intellectual descendants were
replied to by Abbott H. Thayer OF
Dublin, N. H., on the subject of the
celebration of birds and animals. Mr..
Thayer delivered a lecture at the
Museum of Natural History before the
2Sd annual congress of the American
Ornithologists' Union, setting forth his
own theory that birds and beasts are
SO colored by nature as to disguise
them against their enemies when they
get into the tightest place in their
lives.
By skillfully contrived cabinet
Mr.. Thayer showed that the spots of
the leopard are SO arranged by nature
as to resemble spaces and inter
stices among re foliage, and thus con-
ceal the animal from his pursuers.
The leopard, moreover, is lightly col
ored on his belly, which throws the
light downward On his back the
spots are darkest, SO as to absorb and
not reflect the light
The same thing is done by the
zebra S stripes. The zebra's tight
place is by the reed grown, lion
haunted drinking places. The stripes
blend with the reeds and their
shadows. the white bands being line
chinl1s of light through the reeds.
Mr. Thayer showed pictures of the
northern woodpecker, the blue jay
and the bird of paradise in colors. The
birds in these pictures were actual
specimens fixed to the canvas, with
the landscape painted on.
The woodpecker's tight place" is
in the bare, leafess tree, with every
twig and sprig standing out against
a cloudy sky. The white strips on the
woodpecker's plumage give the effect
of chinks of light through the twigs,
and so the woodpeclSer is to all in
tents lost against the tree.
Similar experiments were made with
the blue jay and the bird of paradise

was supposed, but for the same pur-
pose of disguise and of suggesting
the sky to the pursuing animal. He
showed many slides of animals that
seemed completely blotted out in the
surrounding shrubbery and foliage

white bullock tufts of the antelopes
were shown as cases in point The
