LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
sRILLIANcY AS A DISGUISE.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Naturalists find it hard 10 believe
that such an immense fact as universal
obliteratiye effect of brilliant costumes III
the animal kingdom has lain Tght uliueL
their noses without their seeing 1t; anu
the fact that it is an artist. a visionary
who presents it encourages their incredu-
lity.
When 7 first perceived the obIlteratlVe
effect of counter shading eighteen years
ago I met the same increduilty. Was
told at the various museums here anu
abroad that the subject of animals colors
had already been exhaustively treated ny
Darwin and wallace; and not until this
had gone on several years did II occur 10
me to counter shade to actual inYlslpllty
an artificial model, and then actually 1ool
the naturaIists with it In every case they
failed to detect the model, though II stood
solid before them.
In my original paper (Auk. July, 18So,)
stated briefly, with the account or coun-
ter shading, the effacing effect of brilliant
costumes. but not until this summer have
I done for this part of my discovery WLla1

ralists' continued incredulity has reminded
me TO repeat by the use of stuffed birds

THE RIGHT OF WAY.

Grade crossings of railroads should be
abolished wherever it is practicable TO
do So. That proposition is, we believe,
little short Of automatic. Where they
cannot at present be abolished there
should be gates or other devices for the
safety of the public, at least in the neigh
horhood of populOus centres. That aIse Is
indisputable. And it goes without say
inc that where there are gates they
sboT7ld be used and the gateman should
ne rigilant and alert in the performance
OF his duties.
Nevertheless. cdUeGt TiGt0r' 1t is the
mart of wisdom. il is q precept OF DIS
c~etion. it is an imperative duty TO sell
that he who crosses a railroad track
sbnuld look out for the locomotive No
man in the possession Of normal facui-
ties crosses a railroad track without
Knowing If. Nor is he ignorant OF the
fact that the railroad train has the 1ght
of wav along its rails and that 1t Is foE
him who crosses them to look out Tor
l,js own safety. It is no hardship 10 DO
so Not one traveller in ten thousand
X Iegirimatelv in too much Of hurry
10 obey the familiar admonition TO
"stop, look. usten." And not one accl-
dent would occur if that rule were fol-
lowed.
This ad1nonition applies pre-eminentiy
10 drivers of automobiles. Those ndls-
pensable but sorely misused vehicles are
nowadays more frequently run down at
crossings than any other, and yet II Is
easier for the driver of a motor than
for the driver of a horse TO look out for
= train. 1t is far safer to halt motor
car close to the track to take obserVa-
mons than to do so with horse, which
might be frightened by suddenly on
coming train. OF all accidents at rail-
road crossings we should say that those
10 automobiles and their occupants are
least eXcuSable.

THE END OF COREA.

Il will probably be for the good OF all
concerned. Until the complete text OF
the act Of annexation Is disclosed we

however. Of the scrupulous regard OF the
JaDanese for international rights, we
may pxDect these 10 have been suitably
safeglarded. If Japan observes Loyalty

Corea with this and other nations, there
will probably be no reason for com

The act is also logical That Is te
say if anv country was TO annex C0Fea
If was most fitting that Japan should
do 50. Moreover. a fairly good case
might be made out for the proposition
that the possession, or at least the un-
questioned and permanent control, OF
Corea was essential to the security and
welfare of Japan-as good case, at
least. as is made out for most other
corresponding acts Of annexation. LeaT-
Ing entirely out of the question the
seDli-legendarv tales Of early relations
between the two countries, we know
that in our own time COrea has caused
Japan much concern. Japan was the
