EXTENT DURING 'Wit Necessitates a Thorough Knowledge, of Airplane Photography to be in Any Degree a Success. The French were first to develop. the art of camouflage in the war. In. this line the Germans were prompt. to imitate, and they did it with sk'li r. and ingenuity. ' In the St. Mihiel sector the Ger- mans constructed a wonderful piece' of camouflage which the allies faille(' entirely to disegver, It was not die covered, in fact, until the salient was. captured. Tt was an extensive arca roofed with wire net at a height of fourteen feet above the ground, and covered (over the net) 'with scattered brush. Beneath it were a score of buildings,. roads, ammunition dumps, and much other war material. Walking under the net, one could look up through it: and see whatever was going on over- head, but, viewed from the sky it looked like a piece of woods. There was the point, The caanou-' flage was so perfect -as to deceive the cameras carried by scouting allied airplanes. The photographs they de- livered showed only woods. Problem to Deceive Camera. The great problem of camouflage. is to deceive the airplane's camera. To accomplish this purpose, the most effective means was a "flat top" of chicken wire or fish net. stretched between poles and decorated with.. numberless tied strips of inch -wide colored burlap a foot long, to flutter in the breeze and furnish shadows varying naturally with the time of day. Photographed from far aloft, such an arrangement had the appearance of a wood or a field. A net thirty- seven feet square thus disguised af- fords protection for any gun up to the size of a 9.2 -inch howitzer, with its crew. For a ' "stabilized"-i,e., permanently established—battery tit camouflaged position may cover 1 to 4000 square yards, or an area even greater, The main and all-important use of camouflage is to conceal artillery. As the saying goes "a battery seen is a battery lost." Once located, the guns may be quickly and inevitably wiped out by shell -fire. Selection of the ground is a natter demanding expert pert judg ment. Obviously it would not clo to put a wood in a place where previously no wood existed. Even the stupidest Hun might suppose that a small for- est could not grow up overnight. This is a dimple proposition, but it illus- trates the point. Different Appearance From Sky. Of vital consequence is the fact that the eye of the camera in the sky does not see things as we com- monly see them. Take a field of grass for instance. To our eyes the field looks bright, the side of each blade reflecting light. The camera, from above, sees only, the points of the blades, each of the latter throwing a shadow. About the roots there are masses of shadows. Consequently, from the sky, the grassy field looks dark. It is quite another world that the airplane -borne camera sees; and no camouflage is possible without a thor- ough knowledge of airplane photo- graphy. LORDS OF CREATION! Yet Outdone in Physical Endurance and Agility by Insects. Do you know that, if you were only to travel swiftly as the common or domestic fly, says an English writer, you could journey from London to Brighton, take a look round, and be back on your front doorstep before your watch had registered five. min- utes. Do you know that, if you were gie, agile as the elusive flea, you woti think no more of hopping over the London Monument, poised on the top of St. Paul's Cathedral, than you would, asa • mere an, of jumping over a footstool, or that, if you boast- ed muscles proportionately es strong as those of the said flea, you could literally "support" four average fam- ilies in addition to your oem; or—to put it another way—that you could easily raise a couple of mounted Life- guardsmen off the ground! Do you know that, if you were as invulnerable as a beetle, you could be riddled with bullets and transfixed with bayonets, and yet survive to en- joy your meals; or that, if you brought to your meals the appetite of a spider,. you could -eat the equie valent of a prize ox in twenty-four flours, and yet call for a "snack" be- fore going to bed? Do you know that, if you had the industry and architectural ,skill of the African ant, you could build for yourself, without any assistance, a pleasure house so lofty that the Eiffel. Tower would serve as a doorstep to it? And yet you call yourself the "lord of creation!" Cabbage, cooked, is supposed to be more digestible when boiled without a cover.
