. C. Lord Morgan, tho British •legist, has recently published an account of an Interesting experiment which helps to explain a problem which has long puxxled the students of what 1* known as mimicry among

tBe lower animals.

The best known example of mimicry Is ue Imitation by the South American group of bntterfllca named Hellcocinae, by a certain species of other group called Pierinae. Tho

But there is one species of Pierinae which has abandoned the family garb and adopted .Instead the colors and markings of the particular species of Heliconlnae which live In its vicinity.

easily explained. Whenever, by any chance one of-the white good-tasting butterflies came to in any degree resembling the disagreeable kind, it would stand so much better chance of escaping destruction and living to perpetuate its kind. And those white butterflies which moat closely resembled the colored kind would gradually Increase until In the courae of evolution the two species would have substantially the same appearance. Such, at least, very roughly la the theory now

generally accepted by biologists.

There have been found, however, cases of mimicry by species of butterflies which were Just as distasteful to birds as the kind they mimicked. Here the explanation was not ro easy. Apparently one kind was as well protected as the other. The best hypothesii Is that of Fritx Muller, who argued that the advantage gained when two species of insects equally distasteful to their enemies Imitate each other Is that the young of the enemies do not have to. experiment with more than one specie* to avoid both. A young bird having tasted a caterpillar of one obnoxious class would not need to learn to let alone a caterpillar of the other class, providing both looked

Nurses' Experience. Medical men say that a good nurse in a difficult case is better than medicine, but when we can get a good nurse and good medicine, ihe patient stands a much better chance of recovery. The few words of advice given below by nurse Eliza King, are well worthy the attention of all

readers;

“ I have constantly used St. 'Jacobs Oil in I the various situstions I have occupied ax nurse, and have invariably found It excellent | in all cares requiring outward application, | such as sprains, bruises, rbecmanc affections, ' neuralgia, etc In case* of pleurisy it is an excellent remedy—well rubbed in. I can ( strongly recommend it after several year*' ; use and experience It should be in every ;
