LLL LLL LLL TLL LLL RED UNIFORMS. | British Investigators Claim That | They Are Not Specially Danger- ous, The scarlet unifom of the British in- fantry has been greatly criticised in recent years, chiefly on the ground that it exposes the men to needless danger by disclosing their whereabouts to the enemy. The objection taken to the scarlet, however, Scientific reasons are given why the prevailing color is for all purposes the most suitable that could be selected. arlet affords the » protection against the of heat and cold to which are liable to be exposed. The darker the color protecting a warm body the more rapidly radiation: pro- ceeds. White would be the best color to reduce radiation to a minimum; but white is barred by other considera- tions, as are also all the grays. Scar- let or red comes midway between white and black or other dark colors, while with reference to protection from the sun scarlet takes a far higher place than any of the blues, greens or drabs and other shades often used for mili- tary clothing. Yellow or orange is excluded because these colors are particularly conspicu- ous at a long distance. Although scar- let or red is more conspicuous than gray, when the sun shines directly on the troops it blurs on the sight, and is consequently more difficult to hit. With existing rifles the actual result of a fight is usually decided at a dis- tance just outside the effective range of the weapons. This distance lies be- tween 600 and 800 yards. Nearer than that it is impossible to close without replying to the enemy’s fire, and as soon as the return fire whistles about the defenders’ heads the possibility of aiming rapidly and accurately de- creases, Therefore, from this point of view, it {s unimportant whether the object to be hit is conspicuous or not, but from a moral point of view it is a serious consideration. Within 700 yards each subsequent advance is conditioned by fire-superiority already achieved; the defenders are shaken; the time for counting heads is past, and the mental impression conveyed by the sight of the assaulting troops becomes the main point. It is a distinct advantage that our men should bulk large in the decisive stages of an encounter ,and there is no color which enables them to do this so effectively as scarlet. On the whole, therefore, every scientific considera- tion justifies the retention of scarlet as the best uniform for our troops.—Pear- son's Weekly. Feeds Newspapers to His Hens. A farmer of Clare County, Michigan, bas found that he can increase the egg-laying abilities of his hens by feeding to them old newspapers torn in bits and soaked in sour milk until the whole becomes a pulp. The hens, it is said, like the new food, and the inventor expects to see almost any day one of the freak papers come out with the picture of a hen that sets type. Origin of Horseshoeing. In the ninth century they began to shoe horses, but, strange to say, only in time of frost. King William I, in- troduced horseshoeing into England, and six horseshoes are on the coat of arms of the man to whom William gave vast estates for caring for his horses in this way. A Resemblance.

A-Kays from Glowworms, A Japanese man of Science, Mr, Muraoka, reports in a German scien- tific journal, Wiedemann’s Annalen, the curious results obtained by him last summer while experimenting with the light of glownerms. He operated with 300 glowworms at Kyoto, and he says that the light which they emit- ted, when filtered through cardboard or copperplates, showed the properties of X-rays, or Becquerel’s fluorescence rays.
