They are known to be citizens of the of Cerros and Santa Cruz Islands, & seen in Death Valley, where there E 7 e are wells and springs, which are found about half way across the Great Basin. Regilla may be clothed in any shade of brown, green or gray and he may decide to have a coat that is dis- tinctly red. There is a narrow band of black or brown from his nostril to his eye, which broadens behind the eye and continues through his ear to his shoulder. There also is a light band which has an edge of a lighter color. Sometimes you will find the | ampity. band decoration carried along the sides in the form of black dots. There | may also be a V between the eyes. His vest and under parts may be dark or light. The throat is always dark, which is not true of the fe- males. There will be found a decided orange tint posteriorly. All this color- ation is on a wee catcher of gnats, at best less than 2 inches long. Sometimes in a whole group of them no two look alike and you are not quite sure they are several kinds of frogs. To the expert, the family marks are evident and he looks for ‘them‘ not the color pattern. It is the triangular patch between the eyes and the lengthwise stripes upon the back that satisfy him. That is why it is so important to know the distin- guishing marks of the outdoor child you wish to identify with certainty. These bands and patches may be no- ticeable and at times faint, but they are there. This is one of the tree frogs that really can change color quickly. Use your watch to time the change and if possible jot down the colors be- fore you place your little friend upon a new one for “clocking.” In the light, the colors are lighter and if held in strong sunlight the color be- comes more brilliant and the stripes, dots and bands apparently fade out. The time taken is about 10 minutes. Now try the experiment on a dark bit of moss or bark and in a dark place and-watch the deep, rich col- ors of green and brown appear. It is like holding a magic bit of jewelry, only you have the bright, quizzical | eyes watching you every moment.

Who Just escapes & bad mistake Another like it ne‘er will make —Old Mother Nature. MBLING along in the indepen- dent manner of his race, a young Skunk who recently had started out to find a place for himself in the Great World was hunt- ing for Beetles up in the Old Pasture. He paid no attention to anything but | the matter in hand. Apparently he had no fear. This the young Fox who = Z p IN FACT.

He just went along as {f there was no one else in all the Great World. He | stopped to pull over stones and sticks | | that were not too heavy for him. He| dug little pits among the grass roots | here and there to one side or the| | other of the little path. Each time | he got something which he ate with relish. What it was the young Fox couldn't see. It was a white grub, that in time would have turned into & beetle. Now the young Fox and the young | Skunk were not the only ones out for themselves in the Great World. Up there in the OIld Pasture another youngster who recently had becony independent was out hunting. It was | the half-grown son of Yowler the| Bobcat.

His little stub of a tail twitched. He was using his eyes and his ears and his nose, for he was & true hunter, was this young Bobcat. What he expected to catch, or hoped to catch, was a Mouse now and then. Still he had once or twice caught a bird on the ground. So far he had caught nothing larger. The path that he was stealing along Joined the path down which the young Skunk was slowly making his way, with the young Fox following at a discreet distance. The young Bobcat was the first to reach the point where the two paths joined. He heard some one coming down the other path. He withdrew a little and flattened him- self under a bush, his eyes gleaming and that stub of & tail twitching more than ever. Presently he saw the young Skunk. It was the first time he had seen a Skunk. He knew nothing about the family. It was enough for him that this little black-and-white stranger was small, compared with himself, and that he looked wholly harmless, Here was hunting worth while. Here was some one who was big enough to furnish him with a good meal. The yellow eyes of the young Bobcat fairjy glowed as he set his hind feet for the spring that would land him on the young Skunk when the Ilatter should reach a certain point. But just before he came within leaping distance the young Skunk |- turned aside to hunt for some grubs. The young Bobcat waited as long as he could restrain his impatience. Being young, this wasn't long. At length he g0t to his feet and softly stole forward. The young Skunk happened to turn and saw the young Bobcat just before the latter was near enough to spring. Instantly the tail of the young Skunk went up erect and he stamped his feet. Both the raised tail and the stamping of the feet were warnings. The young Bobeat didn't know this. He probably wouldn't have heeded g 0 D. €., THURSDAY, them had he known it. He moved forward quickly two or three steps and then set himself for the spring that would land him on his little victim. He never made that spring. No, sir, that was a jump he never made. You see, something happened. He didn't really know what it was that hap- Ppened, nor did the young Fox who saw it all know just what happened. All they knew was that it had to do with that young Skunk and that the air was filled with & most unpleasant odor that caused them to choke and strangle, especially the young Bobcat. In fact, the young Bobcat screeched, for something had struck him in the eyes and for a few minutes he was quite blind. The young Skunk went on about his business as if nothing had happened. The young Fox turned and trotted straight to his home, and all the way there he rejoiced. He re- joiced that he had been wise enough to step astde when that young Skunk had demanded that he should.
