ONE Of Natures very wise pro.
~ visions is in equipping all living
things with protection of some kind
against their enemies. The larger
animals are able, by reason of their
strength, to give a good account Of
themselves in combat Birds and
many of the smaller animals depend
principally upon the rapidity Of their
movements. But there is still another
and most effective means of self
preservation known as protective col
oration."
Snakes form an excellent illustra,
tion Of this, as do many varieties of
fish. Their scales are 50 colored that
they blend in with the surrounding
rocks or the shadows of the water,
making them almost invisible TO the
eye, In fact. II is only when one OF
these protectively-colored animals
moves that its presence is apparent.
This same principle is responsible for
the different colors OF birds eggs. The
mother bird is not able to fight ag-
gressively. so she has TO seek refuge
in flght. During the time that she is
away from the nest, either while seek
ing safety from her enemies or while
looking for food. the eggs must be
protected in some manner II is for
this reason that they are colored to
blend in with the surroundings In
which they are laid-some OF them
spotted because they are laid in the
sand or among pebbles, others bum.
colored or green to match the ma
terial OF the nest

TN SEEKING the derivation OF

doned for supposing that IL had
something TO do with the ancient
word for lightning or even for
steel or iron, because these sub
stances have become connected
In our minds with the substance
itself. But electricity" is one
OF those words which might be
termed natural errors" for II
has its origin in the Greek word
for amber-elektrOn In fact,
literal translation Of It would be
.'the quality Of being like am
,ber."
The connection Is far from
apparent until we dig back into
Greek history and find that the
scientists of ancient Athens dis
covered that, by rubbing a piece
OF amber vigorously they were
able to attract light objects with
IL. We now know that the force
which we call electricity" was
generated by the rubbing Of the
amber, by the friction applied 10
its surface, but the Greeks were
Of the opinion that this. was a
quality inherent In the amber It.

force has been apparent in the
form Of lightning, magnets and
the like, for countless centuries,
II was only In very recent times
that IL was recognized as a dis
tinct power, 10 be studied and
catalogued and used for the
benefit OF mankind. The name

name given by the Greeks TO the

THE REASON

That's equal to the very best
That mother used to bake
And mother was a famous cook
Known all the country through
For putting up the best Of meals
That hungry children knew.
] used to think that modern cooks
Had lost the noble art.
But after long reflection I
EspOuse their cause and part.
So when some grouchy man complalns
And calls their art in question,
I know just what the matter is
It's simply indigestion.
