German CamoufIaqe.

A British air officer, writing from the western front, says that the Ger mans have this spring brought cam oufiage to a state of artistic perfection that is almost incredible. The most expert and highly experienced airmen are often deceived even when flying low" he writes. AS a first step, the German military authorities sought suggestions from the most diStin- guished German artists in color. AS next step. every available man was turned on to the business of carrying out the artists ideas. Miles of canvas painted to look like roads were con- structed, under which regiments could march without being seen. Paper en- campmentS. were improved and aero dromes, woods, villages and factories of q purely fictitious character were sci up merely to distract observers and te cover the movements of troops and eups.

WATER COlORED BY PLANTS
Tests Made by Scientists of Harvard University.

That many marine plants cause sea water to become alkaline when ex- posed to sunlight is definitely proved through interesting experiments de- vised by w. J. V. Osterhout and A. R. C. Haas of the laboratory of plant physiology, Harvard university.
 These gentlemen have found way to measure accurately the increased alkalinity. Without going into details, it may be said that this consists in i'm mersing green seaweed in glass tube of salt water to which few drops of phenopthalein have been add ed. After exposure to sunlight, the water turns pink, and the degree of pinkness. measured by matching against the colors of q series of tubes containing the same concentration of indicator in series of buffer solu- tions' of known alkaiinity, gives the quantity of alkali produced by the ac- ton of the sunlight.
