With soli erosion, lowered water tables, and forest fires menacing the I country the heaver Is now looked upon as a possible means of prevent; ling some of the future disasters from these causes Ifefore the white man Maine to this continent and upset the i balance of things this little animal I was one of nature's chief agents. Numbered in millions the heaver popJuDition worked industriously at its 'natural profession, building dams. The i rodents blocked the courses of streams with their dams and prevented the waters front rushing tiu?'l)eC.K' ed during flood times and eroding the 'soil and hooding the land. They dotted the continent with ponds and I lakes making the soil absorb more of the .rain waters and greatly lessening the rate of the run-off This, of , course, did much to prevent floods 1 ttiid it also raised the water tables, stored up water for periods of drought, and made conditions less favorable for forest fires According to the National fjeoj graphic. Society, the new interest in i tie* heaver has brought about effective game laws and systematic pro'grams tor restocking trapped-out s regions. As a result the industrious little fellows'may ouee more establish themselves in the country in sufficient numbers so that we will all feel the ] benefits of their industry. The Adirondack region which oner boasted of a million heavers and which later c ould boast of none is being restoc ked with animals taken from Yellowstone I'ark and very stringent game laws allow them to multiply unmolested. Nearly till the slates where heavers i>ui 11 abounded now have laws to pro tec t them and in the northern Middle West a lid in the Norihwi-sl dains el their making are becoming more and J more numerous. I 'raet ica 11 y all of the heaver's past I i troubles c an he traced hac k to the ,fac t that nature covered him with fur that was too desirable to humans, i Countless thousands of the animals | were trapped in order to supply the t | great* -demand for the gentleman's i heaver hat which was almost inclis, pensahle during periods of the 1Mb and T.ith centuries, and the wutin, | beautiful fur found many other uses. J Old records of the Hudson Hay Fur Company show that exports of boaver pedts during one year once run as i high as 17a,000. With such slaughter . as this, of course, it was Inevitable ..that the animal would soon become , prnctically T*xiInet, and, as everybody known, that is what happened Hut tin- beaver really is not the Hood Samaritan of the animal world. He does not build dams with any thought of aiding man. When he restores u piece of grazing land to usefulness by giving it the necessary water or when he checks the ruinous erosion of soil on a fertile hillside he is entirely unconscious of any benellts from his actions to his two-legged enemy, man. He builds dams for his own use. In the summer he leads a foot-loose life, roving about and living on the bark of trees, leaves, berries, and water plants. In the fall, however, he has to think of the coming winter Streams are then dammed up to make the water deep enough to prevent its freezing all the way to the bottom, and lodges are built in the water with openings bolow the sulfate and below the probable frost line. The lodge is made of sin ks, stones, sod. etc, and tin 11 over the outside IS plastered a roil .if 11.ml W in n the pond freezes -o tt.it the j prowling carnivorous animal- an ai>pr<?at h tin- lodges across tin ee the; mm! ai-o treescs to cement b. rtlness 111. i males tin- h? aver snugly ate in-j side his home.

Sticks are wov- j en together and the whole dam is j made solid with mud Untitling is never stopped until the pond is a: least six feet deep and usually the depth Is greater than that The most r? markaide thing about a beaver dam is its strength It seldom gives way to thet force of the impounded water. The beaver's size hardly matches i his accomplishments. From the tip ; of his tail to ht- nos.- he is but a scant : three feet long when fully matured, and one foot of this is tail. Yet he can > drop a tree with all the precision of 1 a six foot woodsman. To that wide, flat, scaly tail which accounts fori one-third ot the beaver's length and a considerable share of his weight has been attributed a number of uses. It has been rumored that that appendage Is used as a troWcl in dam building. aa a sled for moving stones and mud. and in a number of other ways. IC Xpert observations, however, indicate that the tail is used for nothing but swimming.?The Pathfinder.
