MexicO's Rare Animal

One of Mexico's most interesting
but least seen animals is the caco-
mistle. 1t is a mixture of cat and
rodent and is sometimes called the
cunning cat squirrel. The cacomis-
tie is about the size of a cat, has a
face like a fox and a long bushy
tail, and lives on mice and rats. 1t
is sometimes domesticated, but in
captivity it has an unfortunate pen
chant for chickens and ducks. The
animal lives in trees, but its nests
are very difficult to find.

Light Changes Flower Hues

When arranging all flowers it is
well to keep in mind that the effect
under artificial light may be entire
ly different from that obtained by
daylight. That this is true has been
made plain at many of the flower
shows, when arrangements which
were lovely by daylight have be-
come almost pathetic looking un-
der artificial lights. In almost all
cases yellow, purple and blue flow
ers lose much of their color effect
when daylight ceases. Perhaps no
flower exemplifies this fact to a
greater extent than violets, which
become exceedingly ineffective un-
der artificial light.
