a yellow streak means needs hardly
be explained. II remains to be seen
how yellow came to be In bad odor
In all nature. particularly in tropi-

that the brightly colored flowers and
insects are poisonous or ill.tasting,

The salamander, obnoxious to the
nose. is streaked with yellow. This
curious animal possesses glands
which excrete a secretion which be-
comes enormously large when the
glands are subjected to intense heat.
In this way the salamander can sus-
tain life in the open fire during an
unbelievably long period.
We see that the figurative sense in
which we use the expression, yellow

natural history, where the bad
