A movement to this , effect is already under way, we are told by a writer In "Tho Hardwood. Record," (Chicago), and has been approved in a resolution passed In November by a mass-meeting of lum bermen. 'Tho announcement was also made at hat time that the National Lum ber 'Manufacturers' Association ' would aislst if tho work were undertaken. The regular decennial census will be taken nest year, and the timber count may bd made a part qf it, if , the"plan Is carried out. Tho writer goes fori to Bay: ' -'"This will not bo the first attempt at a timber census In this country. Adozen or more years ago tho Bur fc eiaS"ot Corporations, apparently hay ing a "vague glimmer of an idea that " something of the sort should bo done '"jj as a preliminary step toward prose 1a curing a mythical timber trust, de cided- to proceed. Four hundred thou sand' dollars, more or less, were spent , in collecting figures on standing tim ber In. many parts of the" country, but not in all parts. Voluminous prelim inary reports were published. Part IV alone of that report covered 933 printed pages. It is a safe guess that ' these reports were never real through by any human being except , the proofreaders in the printing-office, and' they were hired to do it . . .The whole thing seemed to peter out with out reaching any conclusions that could be accepted as final. Failing to strike the trail of any lumber trust,' the Bureau of Corporations called off the forces and quit. In that way ended what might have been a timber census. By adding, subtraci ing, multiplying, and dividing, people have been able to use those incom plete figures to show a total timber stand in the United States of, 2,800, 000.000,000 -feet In the absence of anything better, this total has been tentatively accepted. "Let it be hoped that the present movement toward a timber census will be more successful. If it Is under taken, it "will be more successful, be cause it will proceed in a business way "A timber census ought to be com piled. It is a big undertaking, but no bigger than many others which have been successfully carried out. ' The acreage of corn is known; the bush els of potatoes are recorded; the head of cattle shtep, horses, and hogs, and . the number of eggs and pounds of butter are compiled by census-takers, and why can not uome similar me thod be used for timber? "The large timber-holdere nearly all have made cruises of their holdings. They know what their stumpage if. It will not be quite so easy with small holders and woodlot owners, for many of them have no Idea of the amount of their timber. They are not in tho business and do not kno(v whether ah ordinary tree contains a .hundred feet or a thousand. But most of these " men know bow many acre3 of woods they own. The assessor's books show that The rulo of averages for differ ent types of forests and woodlands will supply tho feet whon tho acres are known. Such a census would be as. accurate as Is the census of most industries which are not covered by actual schedules end book-keeping. ''If tho Bureau of the Census, as- i ulsted by the National Lumber Man ufacturer's Association and aided by the sympathy and gdod will of timber f. qwpers, undertakes this work, satls- ' factory resulta may be anticipated." .

Camouflage In the Animal World. Camouflage is tho new word coined by the ready Frenchman for the art of concealment by eradicating and changing the .outlines of objects, and by painting and coloring such devices to such a measure that it is impossi ble to observe them from a short dis tance. The art Is dally being mor? and more perfected, until the whole process of fighting becomes largely one of deception. But Is camouflage a product ot tho human mind? Have wo truly discov ered a new method ot waging war fare and preying updn our foes? Existence from time immemorial has been a constant process of prey- Ing, tho stronger and more clever surviving mo weaic ail lire is a con- Unual -struggle between ,tfae different forms and classes. Large and strong forms prey upon the weaker. And camouflage qr deception, adaptive coloring and shape, are the "weapons scattered among every class of life, plant and animal. Such gifts are lav ished upon dumb life by nature with three different objects In view: pro tection, attraction, and destruction. In the snowy wastes of the north, life has taken upon Itself, through long ages of trial and error, a white raiment Imitative of the white. stretches surrounding them. Conspic uous examples are, tho polar bear. the white fox, the ptarmigan, and the' white or snowy .owl, each of which is armed with the same adaptive cov ering. in the tropics and jungle regions are found the most astonishing exam ples of- imitation and mimicry. Here a profuse specialization of color and pattern to harmonize and fuse with the usual environment, in order to render the bearer indistinguish able, or to simulate with fidelity some! particular object. The spotte.d skin of the leopard, dull orange and black, is in perfect harmony with the mot tled lights and shades of the sun- flecked Jungles. The tiger, tho giraffe, zebra, and .other African wild beasts are covered with stripes representing the barred lights of that land. The camouflage ot the butterfly Is the most astonishing of any creature. Mottled wings, gay-colored markings, imitate the hues of flowers on which the butterfly rests and feeds, and thus tho bird in search of a dainty morsel passes over, seeing only a vivid-hued mass of petals, Other but terflies imitate exactly the leaves of bushes on which they alight to rest. Burnished beetles, painted dragon-, files, green katydids, lichen spiders ! wu vuuuu umoi iu,iD ul mo, I ..!.... . m Ml.. which Inhabit the plant sphere, might bo cited. Crass snakes, sand snakes, and treo snakes easily hldo themselves .n their respective environment. Tho tree-toad, clinging along some bough of a tree, seems to be a knot or lump In the wood. Hanging there unseen, flies and butterflies hover near with- out fear, only to be snapped up by a long, forked tongue, tho prey of h wii hn,r . Jo.m,, the wily hunter. Tho so-called "walk Ing stick" so closely resembles a twig that, although cbmmbn enough in the wopds, It Is seldon discovered and captured, ' Among birds, tho art of conceal ment is almost perfect. Not only the birds themsolves, but their , nests, blend harmoniously with their sur roundings. It is possible for a clpso observer to get within a few feet of tho noBt ot a sitting bird, in tho grass, dmong tho leaves, in tho Band, without discovering tt, Other birds Lfclgn Injury for tho purpose of nllur flng an Intruder from tlio vicinity ot thoir nost or young.

When fighting in a desort land or an arid country, tho trenches aro hid den with sund emplacements tt tho vicinity Is wooded or brush covered, hurdles of woven wlros, fascines, shrubbery, and hedges are employo'd to hldo tho actions of tho opposing forces. Tho uniforms which our sol diers havo adopted are those which most readily fuso Info tho topography. A comparison of tho natural In stinctlvo concealment, practised by tho hunter and huntodarilmal. with the camouflage of our soldlory, will render mbro clearly tho Imitation practised by man, In tho Junglo a huge- python lies hidden from its prey, waiting. It re sembles somo twisted, fallen branch, and is unnoticed by tho small furred creatures which pass near. Suddenly tho python strikes,' the captured crca turo Is crushod and disappears into tho throat of tho liuntor. Ono or tho adaptable and 'known forms 1b tho chameleon or salaman der, which changos Its "hue to fit tho color of the object on which It rests. Fish ot tho streams and lakes are j dappled or striped with coloration which fuses Into the bed or rush-cov-cred depths of tho water, whereas fish ot tho deep seas are frequently dark in color to render thqm India tingulshablo from' their enemies. Man has constructed tho submarine to courso tho ocean depths, Imitatln? in shape and dark huo tho sea mon sters. He has produced a winged ma chine, aloug tho lines of tho bird or butterfly, and has painted it while that it may speed among tho clouds unseen. In tho cuttlo fish, which lurks In tho depths of tho 8ea, wo find, perhaps, tho origin of our smoke "barrage," tho art of concealing be noath a heavy, impenetrable cloud tho actions of an attacking force. Tho cuttle fish employs a heavy, dark fluid, which it ejects upon attack, thuB hid .Jug It from tho enemy. every conceivable invontlon of j trapping man, or of enticing hlA into dangerous zones, is being utilized in the warfare of today. It Is but an advanced method of ambuscado. Thb art of camouflage or deception Is brought Into use to conceal tho traps and, cbntrlvances arranged for (he re ception of the enemy. WIro entangle ments, hurdles of bniBh"r-pallsados, pits, pointed "chovaux-de-frlse," land mines, and the deep-filled abarls are fused Into thOi surrounding country.
