THE FOREST FORAG@

One morning I was out for a ramble in a. woodland valley near my home. It was a typical Novem- ber day, dull and gloomy, and, what is of greatest valueio an ob- server of nature, there wee. oom- plete silence. Not a breath of wind stirred and not a bird's note was to be heard. In fact. had it not been so still and silent the following story might not have happened.

As I was standing quietly looking around me at the drab BILTTOIHTCL- ings, waiting for something to hap- pen. my ear caught a faint rustle in the dead leaves on the ground near at hand, and as I looked in that direction I saw several of the leaves move slightly. I went up and closQ my hands over these and found I had captured a mole shrew.

The mole shrew is a small animal about four inches in length from the end of his long sensitive be- whiskered snout to the tip of his short tail. At first glance one might call him a mouse, but even a casual look at his teeth betrays his true place in the animal world. At onoe we miss the large front in- cisors, or gnawing teeth. which we find in the mouse family. Instead there are rows of tinv ivory points as sharp es fllnt—i.he typical den- tals of the shrew family. The fur is soft and very compact, like that of the mole, hence the spt name of “mole" shrew.

Although a well-known animal to scientists, and probably common enough. due to his secretive habits he is seldom seen alive, so that I was glad to come unon this individ- ual. And. with a view to learning more of his habits, I took my lit- tie captive home.

But I must say that in this I was somewhat disappointed. He was not disposed to teach anyone any more than he could help. about his mode of living. I made him s. home in s box half-full of foaest soil and cov- cred with dead leaves. in every way nnssible simulating his natural home. But I found he spent all his time out of sight. He did not delve into the soil as a mole would have done. He lacked the greet s ade- llke fore-paws of that habitus dig- ger. Nor did he scamoer about on the leaves in plain view. Re was what might be termed semi-sub- terranean in his habits, spending most of Iris time pushing here and there through the mam of leaves. And here I could see the adven- tage of his very tiny bead-like eyes. There was little to see in such blind foraging. In fact I learned that the mole shrew could withdraw those minuis eyes of his into the fur of his feoe. In reality his e are of so little use to him while for- ages that be must sotuelly protoct them. Of course, once he comes out into the greet outside world. which he must sometimes, his eyes then serve to inform him that he is in plain view in the light and therefore in danger.

One thing I did learn was tlllt he had en enormous appetite. l-le ate everythl in the nature cf meat that I ed him, and lots of ii-except bacon. r suppose brown of the seltv flavor.

Never once during ell the time I had him did he utter s. sound. Not even a mouse-like squeak. trout?! he was often very active shuf about in the haves. Hp Ill ll Ill-
