Nature 4; Economist.

Why is il that most animals are lighter
in color below, and in the part hidden
from ordinary observation, than on the
back, the top oi the head and other more
easily visible portions ? A writer in the
Westminster Gazette believes that IL is
because white hair is the most economical
Nature finds it easier 10 produce white
hair than hair OF any other color, tor II is
white simply because il lacks the pigment
cells. For creatures that are compare
lively defenselesS and have formidable
enemies, il is c tie ifSt importance tha
they should mol he conspicuous when
they are al rest. On the other hand, they
need bright colors in order TO attract the
opposite sex. Therefore the upper side
OF the wings OF butterflies is ght-color-
ed, whereas the under side, which shows
when the insects rest. is sober IN color
and matches admirably its surroundings.
The gaudy orange. tip rests. for prefer
ence. on the flower OF the hemlock or
wild parsley, where the notified white
and green of the under sides OF the wings
make il almost invisible The gold OF
the yellow underwing and the gorgeous
crimson OF the crimson underwing are
gaudiIy conspicuous in flight AT rest
the over wings cover the bravery with a
drab shield, beneath which not even the
great round eye OF the owl can discover
the creature.

Wells Near The Sea.

In studying the underground water re-
sources in the coastal plain OF Virginia,
the geoIogists OF the United States Geo.
logical Survey examined many hundreds
ofartesiau wells thathave excellent water.
they tound that there is decided varia-
ton in the we'll flow with the rise and tall
of the tides, and that The level OF the wa
Ter in the wells is higher at flood than at
ebb tide. Itis the general opinion among
well drillers that virtually all flowing wells
near tidal rivers or inlets from open bays
do feel the distant sea, but some OF them
so slightly that the variation in flow is
hardly measurable. The geologist in
charge OF the groundwater Investigations
in Virginia says that changes in water
levels in wells, due 10 fluctuations in tile
height OF the surface OF some neighooring
body OF water, have been observed all
over the world. Ii is custom 'ry TO ex-
plain such changes by Supposing direct
connection 10 exist between the well and
the river, lake or bay but ia many places,
as IN eastern Virginia, such connection IS
clearly impossible, owing to the depth oil
the wells and the nature OF the inierven
ing beds, some OF which are OF dense,
tough marlS and clays. But such beds.
although they do not transmit water,
nevertheless contain it. and as water IS
almost incompressi0le, any variation OF
level on the river or bay is transmitted TO
the well through the water-fille, gravels,
sands, clay and marls. When a porous
bed is tapped by well the water rises TO
the point OF equilibrium and fluctuates as
the hand OF the ocean varies its pressure
on the beds that confine the artesian flow
