Striped Uniforms For War,

London, April 19.-The experience of
this war may lead to the trial of SOL
diers' uniforms striped like the zebra
or banded by the colors of the rain
bow, in the opinion of some military
observers, who have serious doubts as
to the effectiveness Of khaki, blue gray
or any Of the other colors now in use.
In India and South Africa, where
khaki got it's reputation as a. uniform
cloth, it fitted. we'll into the back
grounds of the landscapes, but in the
different atmospheres and landscapes
Of Europe both the khaki and the blue
gray show up conspicuously in mass.
Nature, the color experts now say,
did not stripe the zebra by way Of or
nament, but Us a protective measure.
It is the unbroken mass Of color, no
matter in what shade, that catches the
eye in the distance. Colonel Maude, a
well known expert, recounts an in
stance in India when his party, ap-
preaching parade ground from dis
lance. were unable to see but one of
three battalions until comparatively
close up. The troops all wore scarlet
jackets. But two battalions were
made invisible by white pipe clay belts
and cross straps, which broke the mass
Of color. while the conspicuous body
had dark straps which blended in with
the red. Tigers, leopards, birds, liz
ards, snakes and most living creatures
use the notified coloring.

Determining Magnetic Currents.

'''~S'Os'S Will V'SSs
Washington, April 19.-The nonmag<
netic yacht Carnegie is on one Of the
longest voyages ever undertaken. The
yacht will be gone at least two years
and perhaps three. During the voyage
she will go as far south as the ocean
is navigable and then as far north as
possible. After observations are taken
in the Arctic the Carnegie will again
turn south and 60 to the Antarctic.
The Carnegie is operated by the Car
negie institute of Washington and is
being used to determine the origin and
the varied distribution Of the earth's
magnetic currents. The yacht is an
auxiliary brigantine and was placed in
commission in April, 1909. She is CON-
manded by Captain Ault.
' The Carnegie has made many long
cruises, the first being to the north of
Newfoundland, where many valuable
data were gathered. In June, 1910, she
left on a cruise which carried her In
zigzag fashion around the world. This
voyage lasted three years and six
months, and the log showed that she
had covered a distance Of $4,000 miles
