Athletics wore red shirts and stockings,

MIMICRY IN ANIMAL LIFE.
PHASE of animal life which
\ attracts our attention and calls
forth u~nceasing ~wonderment Is

A PHASE of animal life which
IN attracts our attention and calls
forth unceasing wonderment is
that of protective resemblance. Ma
ture has widely endowed certain de-
fenseless animals with this peculiar
faculty, which makes them mimic their
surroundings, SO that they may avoid
their enemies. This is especially true
of some insects. The katydid, withs it's
gauzy green wings, will fall ~zigzagging
from a tree to the ground in such a way
that any feathered enemy seeing 1t
woul think it a leaf. The same method
of protection is seen in our common
butterflies and moths that mimic flow
ers n leaves. The moths mimic bits
Of wood and stone, so that when they
alight on the ground they are at once
invisible to their pursuers.
Other interesting instances of mimicry
are found among the butterflies in In
dia A naturalist noted q butterfly
there that was not only a remarkable
mimic, but when followed it initiated
the peculiar flight of a butterfly that
was obnoxious to birds. In almost
every group of insects we find this pro-
tective resemblance, but those among
the walking sticks and walking leaves
are most remarkable. In the latter we
nave an example Of an insect so closely
resembling a leaf that 1t bears close
examination without discovery. The
insect looks as If 1t were made up of
several pieces of leaf. Still another
cannot be taken for anything other thar
a dry brown twig or branch. so closely
has it initiated the color and the sharp
angles.
In all forms of life there is a ten
dency 10 adaptability to the popularity
Of its surroundings. Gayly tinted birds
are not, as a rule, found on white.
sandy wastes. but in forests where
there is deep coloring and the contrast
is not great. The lion, the giraffe, the
ostrich are forms which assimilate their
surroundings. In California the horned
toad is almost as invisible as the san
on which it lives. The little canyon
toad mimics the rocks on which II
rests, while the frog of the East is
scarcely to be distinguished from the
reeds among which 1t lives.

TOURISTS ROASTING
HOTEL AT MILFORD

The GIidden tourists. now that they
have settled down. have had chance
10 think back to Milford and the many
swear words which they have put out
in regard to the Bluff House. and its
treatment will make that event famous.
The Bluff House probably had no rush
of business in its history compared to
this and although checked In It's ra-
pacity by the booking ahead, II got to
the pOCketbOOks and certainly the
stOmachs Of every tourist The secre-
tary Of the touring board has been
reviled freely for ever having gone
there. Many tourists are still waiting
for baggage ordered shipped from there,
and some who paid eXpressage on bag
gage which did not reach there from
Philadelphia have had that baggage for
warded without the payment having
been made at the Bluff House, as oTigi-
nalIy arranged. Some day the Milford
ties are going to see the advantage Of
