an instance in India when his party.
approaching a parade ground from

three battalions until comparatively
close up. The troops all wore scarlet
jackets. But two battalions were
made invisible by white pipeclay 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,
lizards, snakes and most living crea-

While scarlet Is most conspicuous
at short range. it is the first Of the
primary colors to fade from view at a
distance. AS landscape has all col
