[ ANIMALS UNDERGROUND.
Burrowing as it is Performed by Various
Spccies of Mammals.
f A ontilatiou. nr. rather, tlie want of
it, must be a ditlieulty in the* undergiound
liio of almost all mammals,
llit* rabii and tlie rat secure a current
of air by forming a bolt hole in
connection with their system of passagos,
but (he fox, the badger and
many o(: tiie field' moles and mice
seem indifferent to any such precaution.
There is 110 doubt that whatever
iiaw the lirst impulse to burrow,
many animals look ?pon (Iiis to us
* most unpleasant exertion as a form of
actual amusement. It also confers a
right of property.
Prairie dogs constantly sejt to
work to dig holes merely for the love
of (he thing. Tf they cannot have a
suitable place to "exercise their talent
in they will gna>w into boxes or chests
of drawers and there burrow to the
great detriment ol the clothes therein
contained. In an inclosed prairie dog
"town" they have been known to
mine until the superincumbent earth
i collapsed and buried the greater number.
A young prairie dog let loose
( in a small, gravel floored house instantly
dug a hole large enough to sit
in. turned around in it and bit the
first person who attempted to touch
him. Property gave him courage, for
before he had been as meek as a
mouse.
It is noticeable that the two weakest
and least numerous of our mice,
the dormouse and" the harvest mouse,
do not burrow, but make nests, and
that these do not multiply or maintain
their numbers, like the burrowing
mice and moles. -!ui the fact that
there are members of very closely allied
species, some of which do burrow,
while others do not, seem t<> indicate
that the habit is an acquired
OU?.
fin this connection i| is worth nothing
that many animals which do not
wtirrow at other times form burrows
Hi ij\ which to conceal and protect their
I^^AMMing, or, if they do burrow, make a
gmflSittereni kind of a more elaborate
HM^Kharacter. Among" these nursery burare
those of the dog, the fox and
^^Bandmartin, the kingfisher and the
^^ shcldrake. Foxhound litters never do
H so well as when the mother is allowWb
ed to make a burrow on the sunny
|V side of a stra<w stack. Tn time she
B will work fhis five or six feet into
the stack and keep the puppies at
the far end", while she lies in the enK
trance. Vixens either dig or approB
printe a clean burrow for their cubs,
which is a natural habit, or, at any
1 rate, one acquired previously to the
use of earth by adult foxes.?-London
Spectator.
SLEEP IN THE DESERT.
Impossibility of Keeping Awake In
Riding Across Gobi.
} Hitherto I have thought that
traveling in carts over stony roads
and slaying in Chinese inns at night
was the hardest thing a foreigner
traveling in China was called* upon
to endure but since T have traveled
>wi|h a caravan of camels I haw
clifltjpd niy opinion. The monotony <5f
desert by day and the bed of c^mf
?l*a saddle at night, the evil sme'fl ol
L, /
' ' /
igton and the District of Colum! I
are everywhere recognized as 5
yourself against alum, I
ering baking powder, H
to the digestibility and whole- If
camels and tlie slowness of' their drivi
ers and t lie acrid' choking ,,f the ]i11 le
lire on which one's food is cooked
none o| 111< .-,? thi'i:?s are so trying to
the 101 eig'iieers as (he sleepiness
which attacks one in this iii'-i'h region.
This l<i me was a real torture. Traveling
the cold night with no other
companion than dull Chinese. who
seem to sleep while walking alongside
the camels or while sitting- on their
hacks, and being weighed down bv
I heavy sleepiness is the worst thiult 1
j have endured.
Von sit on your horse and. in spit .'
of every effort, fall asleep. Presently
you wake up and find yourself on the
ground, with your horse standing be'
wildored at your side, wondering
. whether you are alive or dead. Then
you try to keep yourself awake by
walking; and talking* a bit to the camel
j drivers, hut you soon find that they
| are just as sleepy as yourself. A few
words are exchanged, and then you
are too tired to open your mouth to
I talk or even to think of anything but
j sleep, sweet sleep. Oh, for just a few
minutes there at the roadside in the
soft sand! But, no; you must go on
and fight against this desire. It is
: too dangerous to sleep by the roadside
on the ground. The caravan cannot
wait, and your servant would not
watch over you. lie would soon fall
I asleep like yourself. The wolves
would then have an easy time.
( Yet in spite of all this reasoning
j you feel as if you were drawn in the
ground by the power of a thousand
strong magnets and soon yield to sleoji
awn. Suddenly your watchful
hor>-.\ whose reins you have kept
slunv ;iround your neck?this is a
wise thi-nr to do-?pulls up, starts and
jerks von wide awake. You jump up,
not know:'!-.- where yon are for some)
seconds but y see your horse trembling
and realize that datr.cr is near.
I" or a few minutes yu are fully
awake and feel glad and refreshed,
i on jump on your horse and catch up
with the caravan, which has .:< no a
few 1; (a li is (>.")4 yards) ahead.
After another ten li or so sleep
i creeps on again like a huge boa constrictor
embracing" you in its irresistible
grasp. T!ie same fight has then
to be fought over again. Then at last
the caravan arrives at the halting
place for the night.?North China

Dogwood and Persimmon.
The supply of dogwood and persimI
mon shuttles in the Southern States
is nearly exhausted. This statement
will not appear significant to the average
man when he first hears it. Hut
when he is told that the entire supply
of shuttles, bobbins, and spindles
used in the cotton and woolen mills
in all parts of the country is furnished
by the dogwood and persimmon
growing in the Southern States, the
seriousness of the situation is apparent.
The textile mills of the country
represent a. capitalization of nearly
a billion dollars and bobbins, shuttles,
and spindles are just, as necessary
parts of those mills as the throttle
is to the locomotive.
Fortunately th shut11 manufacturers
have found another source of
supply in the dogwood stands in the
far northwest part of the country.
Two I a rye companies manufacturing
I spindles, shuttles, and bobbins have
"(erected plants in the Cascades in Ore
'Jf?n> whose dogwood forests arc tlr;|di
,greatest in the world, the tree often n
attaining a height of 75 feet and a [ dc
diameter of one to two foot. Tiro1 th
southern dogwood is rarely more than '
(i inches in diameter. Kxlcnsive a(
stands of dogwood are also found in ci
California and Washington. Up to
she present time, lumber users in t/ie A
Pacific northwest have tound dog:
Wood valueless except for fuel, and
jits utilization for the manufacture of 2t
j shuttles will bring about a considerJ
able increase in stumpagc values of
this tree.
These companies, at their Oregon ^
plants, will not only manufacture the
| articles named but will utilize every
i part of the tree turning to account
the waste wood and producing such m?
by products as pvroligenous acid, ace- .,
tie acid, prolacetafe of iron, acetate p
jot lime, methylated spirits, solvent J*
naphtha, wood tar. wood pilch, and t
{various forms of charcoal. Dogwood ' '
:'s indispensable in the .naiut;nctlire i"
jof shuttles, bobbins, and spindles be- j"
cause it is the only wood which takes '
