The male polar bear does not hibernate, though the female does for the purpose of bringing forth her young and for their pro- tection while they are in the in- fant stage. This becomes a must with mamma bear else how could her family survive the rigors of exposure to the Arctic winters.

Up until quite recently it was be- lieved that all bears hlbernated during the winter.

It is the duty, of many of the peasant children of Spain to help maintain the home by selling flowers and fruit, or by laboring in the vineyards and orange groves. One would fancy from the above picture that the children of Spain had little opportunity for play. Nothing could be further from the truth for Spain has so many national festivals there is ample leisure for both children and grown-ups.

Among the curious customs of the Spanish people is the practice of offering bread and corn to deceased relatives and friends on the anniversary of death.

Love smitten maidens eat heart- shaped cakes, and rosemary and Verbena are burned as offering to the great god of love.

Of all the underground homes that animals make none is more in- teresting than that of the prairie dog. ll; resembles a miniature mine shaft. The entrance to the home is crater-sliaped to keep out water. It also serves as a sentry post. The main dwelling is often 15 feet below the surface. and to reach it the little rodent nose-dives the entire distance.

I have often looked at the dia- gram of a prairie dog's home and wondered just how the little mi- ners could dig straight down or up: where they dispose of the loosened soil taken from such a depth. No doubt some of it is carried to the surface, but not all of it.

A peculiar thing about prairie dogs is that they will come straight for you even though you are picking them off, one by one, with a gun. During my last visit to Irma. Alberta, my cousins and I -used to go hunting these pesky little animals, armed with .22 rifles. Immediately we began to

shoot. the whole colony started moving in out direction. To me, it seemed like 3. slaughter of the innocent, but the prairie farmer will tell you that the prairie dog is a great destroyer of grain fields. Besides, they undermine large areas of soil, causing cattle

holes, often breaking a leg. . . .

What with poison bait, guns. traps. etc., this little rodent of the plains will soon become extinct.

The amount of food stored for winter use by a. chipmunk is no- thing short of amazing. Records show that a single animal has stored over half a. bushel of mater- ial consisting of acorns, nuts and seeds.

Muskrats open clams by biting the muscle that holds the shell closed. They are eaten on the half shell, like some folk eat oysters. Herels how the muskrat gets fresh oxygen when swimming under an icy surface. It breathes a bubble of air against the undersurface of the ice and then inhale: the some bubble!

Did you know that some of our fresh water fishes build nests? The nest is usually wrought by the female in the sandy bottom of sands and rivers. The African Osteoglossld makes her nest in the underwater vegetation. The walls are made from the stems of the plants which the fish re- moves from the center of the space she chooses to make her home. When the foundations and walls have been firmly set. the Osteoglossid cover the structure with a barrel-shaped roof. all the different pieces being held in place by a kind of glue taken from the creature's kidneys. This sec- retion hardens into a tough var- nish. Then mamma fish goes off in a Search of a mate to share the new home.
