(Strange But True I By I.I.M.IaArtlsU There are seven kinds of caribou in North America and all of them different from the reindeer of Eur- ope. The most singular of the sounds mule by these animals is the eres.ki.ng of the hoof which can be heard at a distance of one hundred feet. in still weather. This creaking sound is made by a peculiar mechanism in the hoof while the animal is on the march. The comparative speed of wild animals, as closely as it can be determined is this: Best speed for one mile: Race horse 54 miles: Antelope 32 miles; Greyhound 30 miles; Jsck rsibbit 28 miles: Fox 26 miles; Fox- hound 22 miles; American grey wolf 20 miles. Wild animals are not so swift as their get away which in most many people suppose. It's quick YOU CAN OWN A WORLD-FAMOUS ACOIISTICOH FOR our; T 433;. : int.- EAF? HEAR AGAIN!

It was then a custom to pile the lose stone at the end of the fields so as to form dykes or fenced. only a few remain. The term "leatherneck" dates back to the days when leather col- lars were worn for the protection of sailors when storming enemy ships. A handful of good old common horse sense is worth a bushel of book learning. A not answer makes a cool friend. Parents are most fond of boast- ing about their babies accom- plishments. but the five-month-old whistling baby of Mr. and Mrs. Jean Rosenberg of London. Eng. is causing quite a stir among the RKHBn'bHY family, and the family doctor. The infant slwsys whist- les the some little tune. so is not apt to develop into a musical gen- ius. Doctors: have kept Mrs. Mary Danseveeu, of Boston, alive by in- serting fl. plsstlc ball inside her heart. The ball is secured near a heart valve which had been injur- ed in a. childhood attack of rheum- atic fever. The ball slips into place during each heart beat to prevent the blood from flowing backward. The injury would have proved fatal to the mother of two child- ren, had she not undergone the strange operation at the Peter Ben Brigham Hospital. Esiclmo dogs are domesticated wolves mixed with s. strain of other dog stock. This is not so sur- prising when we learn that young wolves have been known to be- come surprisingly tame, to play and gambol with other dogs about camps: but there is always a poss- ibiliiy that savage nature may sud- denly break out, as many camp- fire stories testify. Do wild. snimebi actually teach their offspring? The answer is yes. Take the mother otter for ex- ample: she teaches her youngsters to dive noiselessiy, to circle in deep pools, and how to come up quickly behind sleeping fish or to corner them in holes in banks. Too, they are caught to turn over stones for grubs, and nose into mud for eels.. Otters raised in captivity know none of these tricks which would seem to prove conclusively that they are taught by their parents. An otter is so long-Iwlnded that it can swim a quarter of a mile without showing its head above wa- ter. Both old and young play much the same as children do. They chose each other, roll in the water for sheer fun, and pull lazy stick to see which is stronger. The otter slides never fail to a- muse observers. When they find a steep bank they make a roundabout path to its top and slide down its side into the water like you and I used to slide downhill on the show when we were youngsters. T: has my good fortune to oh- serve otters in their merry mom- ants and believe me. they are play- ful animals. very graceful in their movements and exquisitely beauti- ful creatures. These gentle. harmless animals. never prolific, once swam the streams and roamed the banks of our Island province. The lowly peanut buries its pods in the ground and sows its own seed. This nut is a native of Eva- zil but it has spread to many parts of the globe. Peanuts were the chief food of the negro captives on their voyage across the South At- lantic. This infamous trade was re- sponsible for the introduction ol the peanut into West Africa. Inci- dentally, the peanut contains more oil and yields larger crops than any other groundiiuts. The peanut is not unique in its Ralph ing the 36th annual convention of Hotel, St. Andrews, N. B. He is seen here chatting with W. Daniel, Halifax. seed. The hog peanut eaten by the Indian tribes of the U.S.A. shares this habit as does also a few other pulses, among them the b0 l as ground nut of West Africa. . . . No living creature is more blood- thirsty than the little weasel. They kill for the mere joy of killing, often leaving their victims uneaten or merely sucking the warm blood and hurrying after other prey. I well recall the slaughter of 58 chickens killed in one night by a single woasei, on the farm where I was brought up. When we cornered the murderer the next morning, it turned on us like the little sav- age it was, and fought like a. tiger till it was killed. Considering that so few of these animals are shot or trapped, one naturally wonders why they have not increased more rapidly. The reason is a simple one: Two wea- sles cannot live together in peace; one of them must die or flee, and the .defeated one is mostly a female the weaker of the sexes. This ruthless killing of females by their lords puts a damper on furiher multiplication of their race. The latln word putarius means "a stlnker" and that is about the only way one can describe this sneaky dirty blood-thirsty little animal. 0utstaTding Recital .
