and shoulder, by which the attacks OF
the enemy can be successfully met.
At last. after centuries of the surviv-
al of the fittest, we shall find two spe-
cies Of the horned tribe. now quite
different from each other; one like the
deer. depending upon its marvellous
speed to escape from it's enemies. and
the other. like the buffalo, relying on
tremendous strength to beat off its at
tackers.
But meanwhile something similar
has taken place among the cat tribe.
Those which could not obtain food in a
rough tumble fight, or which were
unable through quickness and stealth
to offset the speed and strength Of
their game, have starved.
Consequently among them also two
species have arisen: one, like the lion.
able to fight and kill his prey: and the
other like the leopard or the jaguar,
capable of waylaying and destroying
its game. With the latter, such color
ing as would enable them to be incon
spicuous against the forest back
ground would be a potent advantage.
as 1t would also be in the case Of the
deer.

SAVED BY
Their COLOR
Modern Armies Take Lessons
From Birds and Animals,
Whose Colors Nature Has
Designed to Protect Them in
the Struggle for Existence.

At the beginning of the great war
good deal Of interest was aroused by
the peculiar uniforms of the German
soldiers Unlike the old colors formerly
employed to give splendor and dignity
to the marching thousands, their
clothes were made Of the most incon-
sDicuous materials and colors imagin-
able.
It is said that on the march out of
Brussels the long columns seemed to
fade into the mists of the landscape,
and to be indistinguishab!e from it eX-
cept for the motion and dust. so that
the eye with difficulty could detach
them from their surroundings.
The French, on the other hand, still
wore the brilliant uniform made glori-
Gus by their history. blue coats and
red trousers. But as the war pro-
crossed 1t became more and more ev-
ident that the French uniform was a
great disadvantage, was, in fact. a
conspicuous target for the rifle Of the
enemy.
The Germans had with their usual
thOroughness studied beforehand, and
had devised dress for the soldier
which should make him as nearly in
visible as possible against his natural
background Of field and trees.
Many French lives must have paid
for the lesson that has at length been
learned; and now the scarlet trousers,
the most conspicuous object imagin-
able against a landscape Of green or
brown. have been replaced by dull col
ors which conceal their wearers from
the lurking sniper and the lowering
aeroplane.
Learning from Nature
Nature always teaches US our most
practical lessons; the fish is the pat
tern for the submarine and the bird
for the aeroplane: indeed. neither in
vent:on would have been possible
without the hints given out by nature
In the same way she has been show
ing for ages the value Of defensive and
offensive coloring. 1t would be hard to
find an animal or a bird which does
not to some degree owe its compare
tive safety among the hostile creatures
to which it is exposed to the color CIV
en- 1t by nature.
The commonest example Of defensive
coloring is the founder. which we have
all fshed for in the days of our youth
w no EaS not peeTeU 1Or WnOle minutes
over the side of a boat at the mud OF
the bottom to detect the presence OF

when seemingly a whole patch Of the
bottom darts away in puff of muddy
water?
1t is to this mud color that the f1oun-
der owes his safety from the larger
fish. which. If they could see him,
would easily make short work Of him.
Similarly the color Of the toad in the
grass makes him all but indistinguish-

knows how difficult 1t is to locate the
green frog which has Just leaped into
the marshy sedge at the side Of the
lake.
Strength and Speed Not Enough
Among insects the defensive coloring
is still more striking. There are but

Came Out. Cuticura Healed.

my son was three years old when
water blisters began on his head, then
on his eyes. and then all over his body.
His skin was inflamed and red, and the
breaking out itched SO that ! had to tie
mttens on his hands for he would scratch
and make it spread. He was very cross
and fretful, and kept me awake nights.
His clothing would stick to him and his
hair came off and was dry and lifeless.
The trouble lasted thirteen years.

Ointment, and in two weeks there was
hardly a pimple on my boy, and now
he is healed" (Signed) Mrs. Martha

AS TO GRAVEL IN
DIET OF CHICKENS

It is the almost universal custom to
give chickens gravel with their food when
they are being fattened. The theory is
that the small stones help digestion and
thus increase in weight. Guy Buzas has
been experimenting in Hungary to test
the truth Of this theory, and he publishes
in the Baromhtenyesztok the results of
his work.

Kansas is always doing something

IG is told that a farmer who had

for an hour or so were busiiy engaged
In scratching. He investigated and
found lot of wheat still in the
straw. He hunted up threshins out
fit and threshed the stack over, and
he sold $50 bushels of wheat at $3.50
from the old stack.
The news spread and tho Kansas
threshers turned out and began to
thresh over the old straw stacks where
the farmers had not burned them. j..
&c. Mohler, secretary OF the state board

ing where over 1900 bushels of
wheat had been secured by second
threshing of old straw stacks during
the winter. He estimates from the
returns he has received that at least
10, O00. .o09 bushels OF wheat have been
left every year in the straw. There
were threshing outfits which worked
