ANIMALS' WANDERINGS. Country Mouse and Town Mouse Fable Has Foundation in Fact. London Answers. The fable of the country mouse and the town mouse has a foundation in tact. Mice occsionally migrate in large numbers when food grows scarce and travel consideraole dis tance to fresh houses. Farmers in a part of Perthshire had a good reason to become aware of this fact when a couple of years ago vast swarms or mice invaded their cornields at har vest time. But the mouse onvl travels when i: has to. The rat. on the contrary. seems to take a yearly outing, in very much the same iashion as do liuman )eings. Rats are the most migratory creatures in the world. Troops of rats leave :he towns at the end of summer and spend a month or two ;n the country, apparently in order to enjoy the change of food which the country affords at that time of the year in the way of fresh fruit and grain. Before the cold weather sets in they are all back again in their old quarters. Reindeer migrate with the same regularity as swallows. They move south when winter sets in, but as soon as ever the sn.ow begins to melt they travel steadily north, sometimes for as much as a thousand miles. To end a holiday by deliberate sui -cide is so strange a phenomenon that for a long time naturalists looked up on the stories of the migration of the lemmings as an improbable fiction. Yet the facts are beyond dispute. At irregular intevals these ratlike crea tures start out from their homes in the fastnesses of northern Scandinav ia in huge droves numbering tens of -thousands and travel steadily south ward. Death pursues them in a hun dred forms. Hawks and other birds of prey hover above them. Thous ands are drowned in rivers. Yet the rest struggle on until they reach the sea. They do not stop. They plunge in, swim out and struggle on until at last their strength fails and they drown. Not one ever returns from this journey of death. Eighteen Years Old, Seven Feet Tall. Nashville Banner. Near Parsons, Tenn., there lives a ~mdst remarkable young man, a ver itable giant for his age. His name is Arnold, and he is not yet 18 years of age..
