THIRST-PROOF ANIMALS. Water is supposed to he one ot' the absolute necessities of existence. Yet there are various species of animals, in addition to heep, which appear to get along very well witllout it. Reports state that the sheep which range the stretches of the Ncbo Na- tional Forest, Utah, the greater part four and a half months without water. The only moisture they get during all that time is from the new and succul- ent plants. This record -far, very far. surpasses the camel, which is coni- tnonly accepted as the typical animal which can live wltllout actually drink- Ing for many days. Again, sheep in the waste table-lands of Central Asia while browsing on the green, sappy grasses and other vegetation during the spring, summer . and uutulun months, frequently do not waste wat- er for two months and more. . But the non-drinking periods of Ithese :lllimals are exceetletl ill dura- tion by the little wihl pigs living n- nlong the dry foot-hills bordering the At'rit~nn Sahara towards Altyssinin. llcre there is no rainfall for periods of hettvet-_ll two and three years, the water-liolt-s are few and far between and natural springs are seldom en- countered, so the only moisture these animals can get is in the roots anti other etltbles they grub up, Including the fleshy leaves ofthe cactus. That animals and birds can adapt themselves to an existence without water has been conclusively proved by the investigations recently made on the little-known and uninhabited Hen- derson island, which Iles 120 miles or so northwest ot' Pitcairn Island, it\ the Pacific. This Island. which is no more than six rnilm in extent has no springs. swnmpy grounds, or raili- holes. lt is destitute of water. Yet on it ure found a rut, a lizard described as being very abundant, and no fewer than fotlr species of birds. Two of lln-se-the crake, or rail, and the reed- wnrbler-are usually associated with frnsh water. But they, like the others there,unless the dew can slakc their thirst, live and thrive without any evi- dence of sull`ering from the depriva- tlolt of it. Ilut perhaps the most singular in- stance of n thirst-proof animal is the D0<‘ltet-lnouse, one of the common ro- dents of the desert. This little animal --so named from the fur-lined pocket. on the outside of its cheek, otlt of which it takes food on occnsin-lias no desire, tio instinct, for water. Sonic of these mice have been kept for three yenrs on the ordinary dry mixed bird- seed given to canuries. During this long period not n tnote oi’ green food or u drop of water was given. ln fact, the pocket-mice refuse to avail them- selves of such treats. The bird-seed put before them con- tained not more than ten per cent. of moisture which io less than is requir- ed for digestion. Food as dry as this cannot be swallowed until it is moist- ened by saliva. Yet. the pocket-mice suffered neither in health nor In spirit. Such instances afford conclusive evi- 1121100 I-hilt. when absolutely neces» sary, Nature can so readjust her work- ings in the constitution of nnlmals that what is apparently absolutely vital to us-water-is not at all re- quisite for their health and wellbeing. -N.

Previous wars have given rise t.o many curious Inventions whitrli huvo not been taken up by military author- ities. First and foremost there are boots with springs, both heel and toe. This, it is urged, will make marching less fatiguing, as the upringn wlll prevent tho jarring now felt by the soldier as he marches along, especially over hard ronds. Thero has also been invented a littl- wire. This shield is intended to buck- lt- on to the soldler`s body, und will protect the vital parts, although it will not interrupt thc wenrer‘s vlow, ug he can seo quite well between the strands oi’ wire. lt has been said that the wearing of shields will diminish the soldiers courage, but this is a 'statement open to doubt. Soldiers,especlally when wounded oft- en suffer terribly from thirst, and once more the inventor- steps. unavaillngly, into the breach.

Thus the water ld collected automatically. and when the wearer desires s. drink he simply .the helmet and out flows the water. la v rather too complicated for general use, and. moreover, the helmet filled ‘ori the head.
