"KULTUR" OF THE LIGHTNING

German efficiency again to the
foreground A bulletin, ostensibly
of German origin. couched in tech
nical language ard ultra serious In
tenor, brings to light the latest in
Teutonic preparedness, safety first,
and attention to detail. Deep in the
recesses of his laboratory German
biologist is now working out the de-
tails of a plan whereby old Mother
Nature herself is made an ally Of
the Kaiser in his operations at the
battlefront. A lug. termed, per-
haps, the locust, has been found
which is sensitive to colors, the
various varieties Of the family being
sensitive to different colors. The
insect also possesses the peculiar
illuminating property of the light
ming bug.
The learned professor has bred
millions of the Tugs. found to be
particularly suscertible to the effects
of light brown-the khaki color Of
the British uniform.
Here is where the plot thickens.
The battle is on. The German
commander, despite the efficient
work of his advance posts, scouting
parties, observation tower men, etc.
has been unable to locate certain
British battery. But as dusk ap'
proaches, he orders the official bug
sergeant to loose the luna-locus'
